Posts from Haven – "Everything is mixed up, truth and falsehood" [Campaign 3 – Mission 2]

People, help me... I've already read all your advice, but nothing helps... I've been trying to complete this mission for half a year, if not more... I've even tried playing on easy mode, but nothing works...

I completed this mission like this (played on easy).
1. I didn't rush and explored every corner with the main hero, clearing everything out completely.
2. I took all chests for experience, played all battles manually, and didn't allow any losses.
3. You need to learn tactics to position your units correctly.
4. I upgraded Tears, if that makes a difference.
5. I completed all the quests.
6. When I arrived at the last guy, my army was strong, and I defeated him with an auto-battle.
7. I had the Dynasty weapon - the Veilvoss Hammer, or whatever it's called, the one from Paokai's jaws, which gives +600.
8. The magic was standard - Reinforcement, Pushback, and I cast Guardian Angel either on the Vestal or on the units that attacked first - to remove retaliation, and then finish off the unit with removed retaliation with everyone together.
9. I didn't use Drain, and I don't think I used Healing either, although it would be wise to have all healing spells. (Restoration, Healing + variants with general healing)
10. Of course, I had the Resurrection Altar, but I didn't use it much either.
12. I also learned the catapult's abilities. I didn't learn any magic at all (except for Restoration), I only upgraded the Strength tab.

P.S.
It's just like in a classic joke.

An exam question in literature at the state exam in the philological institute:
What was mixed up in the Griffins' house?
a) Everything.
b) Nothing.
: )

Yes, go through everything with cavalry, with reinforcements. Resurrect in altars. Don't spend money on other units.

Also, remind me, are there dwellings for elite creatures on this map?

I mean, are there any select units? Near the first town, George, at the fort southeast of Whitehaven.

So, are they selected? Near the first town, George, at the fort southeast of Whitehaven.

Great. Send a few secondary heroes to this location with the Architect skill at level 1, and you'll have a lot of horses that can also be resurrected.

Thank you! I'll give it a try:smile54:

I recently started playing. I decided, as usual, to start with "Humans".
First, I took a fortress underground, then I captured castles from the Sylvan faction. In the middle of the map, angels are standing guard over something. I looked at the map, and it shows that there's a quest there. Even though I have 6 castles and a larger army than they do, I can't gather enough troops to defeat them. There are a lot of them there, around 2000. The same situation is happening with the monster guarding the entrance to the dungeon. There are also a lot of them there. And as a result, I'm at a dead end. I need to go somewhere, but no matter what, I can't gather a decent army to kill them.

Please use the search function; a topic on this subject already exists. If there are 2000 of them, then you waited a very long time. It's up to you to decide whether you need the "Sorrowful Song" Dynasty Staff or not.

Yeah, and even with the staff, I couldn't get past that point. Anyway, I already finished the game, loaded an earlier save, and immediately went and cleared out the elementals and cyclops. Thanks!

Started the second mission. My hero is a mage (+6% to Light Magic). First, I cleared out the area at the top – a gold mine and a barracks! I recruited everyone, but I need to go to the Blood faction, and without an army, it's going to be tough! I'll have enough time to earn more Blood points later.

George surrendered on day 6, and I won with almost no losses! AREA HEAL is incredibly effective against the undead!!!! It doesn't deal a lot of damage yet, but it causes the hero a lot of trouble. I rebuilt the Castle on day 7! I managed to do it within the first week!

On Monday, I went to the left, across the stream, took the Castle, and headed to the Dungeon! BUT! Maximus appears and decides to take revenge for his defeat in the first mission. He has a decent army, and I won't be able to defeat him without significant losses. And then I remembered the words of the "WINNER" that I SHOULDN'T GO ACROSS THE STREAM - BECAUSE THERE'S A SCRIPT!!!! I reload, and lo and behold! He's right, as long as you haven't crossed the stream, the Barons won't attack you!!!

I'm going to the Dungeon! I go higher, take a fort with a funny army of 3 liches, 11 spirits, 15 ghouls, and 25 skeletons! And then the undead hero arrives! OH!! what a battle!!! The vestals died bravely, minus 50% of the griffins and spearmen! I saved almost all of the archers and knights! I wandered around the Dungeon for five days! looking for the UNDEAD CASTLE!!! AAA! I was so surprised that it wasn't there!!!!! ))))) I reloaded to 5 days ago so as not to waste time!

I returned from the Dungeon, finished off what I had skipped in the first week! YES, there's a lot of good stuff in the Dungeon, but after an epic battle, my mana is depleted! I won't be able to resurrect anyone!! that's not good! I'll come back when I level up myself, and when my army grows, which will make it easier to upgrade the dynasty weapon.

I took the castle across the stream. And stopped at a crossroads! To the left is one Castle, and above it are two Castles! Question: where should I go? Intuitively, I understand that I need to clear the left one, and then no one will come from below or the left. Is that right?
Now I have a different army)) MMM!!! The mage's auras are just amazing!!!! even the unupgraded ones!
Now about the hero's skills!
Light Magic: Healing, Area Heal, Light Magic-1, Light Magic-2.
Fire Magic: Fire Arrow, Fire Storm.
Tactical: Pathfinding, Plunder, and +20% experience. 1 point is free!
What's wrong with the skill build?

Regarding the script, I mentioned that it's in the first mission :o. Now I know it's also in the second.

For the last skill point, you can take Restoration to increase healing even further. I wouldn't take Magic of Light II in your place; instead, I'd recommend taking the bonus to magical power from the Prime Magic branch.

It seems the AI still has four castles: three with quest heroes and another one near the passage to the next quest location. I initially missed it during my playthrough, which later resulted in a hero appearing behind me. I advise capturing all four cities in order, starting from the bottom and moving up (Claw should be the third). Buy an additional hero who will gather an army from two castles and defend against additional enemy heroes as much as possible.

By the way, the "Mournful Song" is located between the first and second castles. I advise you not to delay too much with completing the next quest; otherwise, the armies in the way will become impenetrable. After you complete it, the gates to the Dungeon will open, blocking the passage to George's castle. I recommend building a City Portal II in the very first castle to save time and catch additional AI heroes who will run to the surface again.

The only advantage of this company is that the castles are human, and you don't need to rebuild them!
And why shouldn't I upgrade "Magic of Light II" and "Magic of Light III"?
I have 250 health points after 15 units! I can reset everything!
How do you advise me to upgrade? Should I switch from FIRE to AIR?

Also, in Belogriv, there's a town with the name "Luminous Radiance" where you can recruit units; it's the only one on this map, and they will be useful.

You need to upgrade Reinforcement, and since you're a mage, use Teleport. Cast Reinforcement on either Griffins or Knights and send them behind the wall. Time Stop will also be helpful.

I don't see the point in such specialization yet. I would take "Might and Magic X" only after all the most useful skills have been acquired after level 15.

I think Anton looks better as a Warrior.

I completely agree – the counterattack and cleave skills work very well.

in principle, there's no point in leveling up a Haven hero in magic. It significantly weakens the army, where 5 out of 7 units deal physical damage.
