Follow the path of tears and don't fight Anton.

Well, no matter how you look at it, whether it's through blood or tears, the result is the same - ANTON WINS!!!!

And what does it look like to not fight Anton? Jorgen won't let you!

Replay the mission on easy difficulty and try to complete it without any losses.

That's exactly what I'm doing; I even picked up some friendly undead (in episode 1). I'm minimizing battles as much as possible, but it still doesn't work...

Maybe you're not developing correctly?
Choose "Regeneration".

Maybe you're not developing correctly?
Choose "Regeneration."

and what is it?

This is when you reach a new level, and you get a skill point. You spend this point on the "Restoration" spell (2 times on the hero - development - magic - earth magic).
If you cast it, you will be able to heal your troops for several turns.
It's similar to the "Healing" spell.

I completed this map playing as the Blood faction, clearing every area. And only at the end of the mission did I figure out where the backpack with item slots and skill development is located. Tactics are key.

In short, the 3D action game's core is this: successfully complete all trials, defeat Kirill, and head to the "Stronghold." I played the mission as carefully as possible, but no matter how much I protected my army, Kirill still managed to eliminate about 20 ghosts in the final battle. I thought, "Okay, whatever. It's just the last battle." But then I get teleported to the "Stronghold," and there are... 43 Cerberuses, 10 Hellhounds, 63 Succubi (sic!), 145 Fanatics, and a level 17 hero actively using magic. In my opinion, it's impossible to defeat that many enemies while being bombarded with chain lightning and rings of cold, even if there were no losses throughout the entire mission (75 Ghouls, 90 Ghosts, and 23 Skeletons). Esteemed experts, could it be that I did something wrong?

Or maybe you shouldn't ignore the quests and instead gather 5 Fate Weavers and several dozen Archliches?

It's better to avoid tears and not fight Anton.

You'll have to fight your own brothers anyway, as far as I understand. As well as the clone of Nastya. And going down the path of tears as a Necromancer is not a very enjoyable experience. A 20% bonus to damage from Chaos magic spells and instant vampirism with Necromancer tactics is much better.

I didn't know about the Liches and Spiders, thanks. I completed the quests to save Uriel, build the wall, and collect crystals, gained experience and got some mediocre artifacts, thought "I don't need this kind of happiness, running around the map for dubious profit," and gave up on the remaining two quests.

I'm desperate. I've reached the Anastasia copy, and it says the threat is "low," but I still can't win. That stupid lightning spell takes out half my army right away.

Do you have spiderlings and larvae?

Naturally, I tried without them – he writes – the threat level is high – lethal.

Upload your game save before the battle; I'll take a look and see what the problem is. I didn't have any difficulties.

After the first Necromancer mission, this one seemed very difficult. I even thought about not playing it at all, but I persevered, and it turned out to be not as hard as it seemed!)) I tried not to fight absolutely everyone I encountered along the way, but only those who controlled important structures (with the others – at my discretion, but without losses), and, of course, I focused on draining and restoring.
