Posts from Warlock – “Raelag’s Offer” [Campaign 4, Mission 5]

In my opinion, the only difficulty in this mission is figuring out that you need to bring both heroes to point X. :smile13: :smile13: At first, I was confused when I saw that the map was cleared, but the game remained silent. As for the army... well, firstly, we start with 15 Black Dragons, if I'm not mistaken. In the south of the map, there are 3 buildings for recruiting high-level units, and I had dragons in all three – maybe it's just a coincidence, I don't know, as I only played the map once. That's also a nice bonus. But the main thing is that by the beginning of the mission, Railag had all his stats above 20 (without artifacts), because in the previous missions, he was fully leveled up and visited all the towers, huts, and camps, i.e., everything that gives a bonus to stats (I have a conditioned reflex from Heroes 3 – to level up to the maximum just in case, because the final mission can be very difficult :smile26:). In general, with such stats, all the demon troops were easily defeated... To be honest, I didn't even use the Astral Gates; on the contrary, I deliberately destroyed all the garrisons to gain more experience.:smile19:
So, level up your hero... a healthy mind in a healthy body!:smile25:

and here I am again. I haven't played Heroes for over a month, but the day before yesterday, I tried to replay this mission. It was a disaster. I drank some beer and managed to restrain myself from physically attacking the computer. I was tempted to enter a cheat code... but I resisted. I'll try to take out the tough guy at the beginning.

In my opinion, it's a very simple mission. You just need to ignore the castles and avoid the particularly large garrisons. I reached point X in less than 2 weeks, without getting distracted by anything, and without any losses (Hero difficulty). Accordingly, the Inferno hero was easily defeated.

You're probably right. I don't understand why I started thinking so linearly:confused: I'll fix it in the evening...:smile14:

I suggest a quick Walkthrough of this mission to everyone: Not far from your spawn point, there is a mage's hut; approach it and you will be shown two keymaster tents with dungeons. Go to the right one (red, I think), take the key, and go to the second tent (there is also a Sanctuary nearby). You don't necessarily need to enter the tent—immediately open the border guard and head underground. Underground, go left until you hit a lava river, then follow the shore down. Later, you will see a demon hero (a weak one); kill him (the fat bastard standing in the passage) and climb the ladder he was guarding back up to the surface. Once you emerge, go down; there is a demon city there. You can capture it and learn a couple of useful spells, then it will be destroyed. Go a little further down and capture the final garrison; place both heroes behind it and kill Vaer as soon as he appears. The other demons won't wake up for another five turns or so, so you don't need to rush.
P.S. And I almost forgot—be sure to watch the cool video

Thanks to everyone for the advice. Yesterday, I crushed them all. I didn't try to be clever; I looked at my pawn, and it turned out to be a queen, level 28, and it went on the attack. I tried it the way you suggested, HoM[M]ie, about a month ago, but it didn't work then; the enemy with Astral quickly appeared on the horizon... maybe I was just unlucky.

HoM[M]ie Thanks! :) Just use the blue key; you can also go through the red passage; there's a portal at the end that leads to the dungeon where you need the blue key. After the portal, immediately turn left. From there, everything is the same as after the following:

Underground, go left until you reach a lava river....

How can I quickly find the Grail in Expansion 2, mission 2? It's located somewhere between the dead trees and the long cliffs.

Yesterday, I started playing this mission. As always, I decided to max out Rai'lag and eliminate everyone in my path. I reached the first town with almost no losses. Only Daleb killed two black dragons with her own hands at the very beginning. I went there without looking, not caring who lived there. And there was something to see – 60 archdevils and a huge number of imps, which quickly drained all 330 mana units Rai'lag had...

Well, nothing. You get two for every one you kill. I don't know how many they'll give me when I complete this mission. I won't go to that town again.

... I won't go to this town anymore.

That's fine. I went through the dungeons, bypassing all the garrisons.

This mission had to be completed much faster than expected. Railag only managed to reach level 29. Railag and Shadia exited the dungeon to get some fresh air. They took a short walk, Shadia went into the fort, and then started collecting goodies for Railag, while Railag did some light training on neutral creatures and the nearest garrison. Suddenly, a powerful hero appeared out of nowhere, and Railag couldn't handle him, so he started chasing them. The entrance to the dungeon was blocked. They had to run. That's how they reached the end of the mission.

I didn't realize in time that I needed to eliminate two units...
I'll have to replay. :(

Finally, I completed this mission; I lost so many nerves! Thanks to HoM[M]ie! With his help, I managed to complete it. Before that, I avoided the entire map, except for that "alley," and it turned out I shouldn't have. Although, I had to fight quite a bit!

cleared the dungeon, had to break through the garrison, and here he is, the enemy,
right on time... defeated him in "auto-battle".

I tried to complete it as HoM[M]ie, but it didn't work – a strong hero was already standing at the entrance to the last garrison. I completed it as Vitalij, crossing the border of a different color, and it was easy.

I've tried several times, but I still can't find the exit. I've explored the entire area and the dungeon back and forth, and there's nothing... I've killed everyone, broken all the locks, and I have a lot of troops, but there's no way out. Please help me find the exit!
