Posts from Islands of Mystery, Chapter 2: Dragon Wisdom

I mentioned earlier that when I passed through the vortex located in the desert, where there are many master golems and the dragon's lair, my luck decreased by -2. And this affects the base characteristic, and there's no way to get rid of it. I discovered this not immediately, but later, by returning to saved versions, I determined that it was in this place that luck decreases.

Perhaps, but this bug is unknown to me. Or maybe it's not a bug at all; perhaps the author intended it to be this way?

let's wait for the author's comment ))) although it seems like a bug to me, possibly in the map or in the game itself. Usually, when a characteristic is affected by, for example, an artifact or visiting a Shrine of Luck, the characteristic is displayed in green, but here it's white.

There are several such locations, and each one modifies the hero's stats in its own way (using a script):
A purple vortex on the grass gives +4 to defense;
A purple vortex in the lava lands gives +3 to attack, +1 to morale, but -3 to magic;
A pink vortex in the desert gives -2 to luck and +3 to knowledge.

Here, they discussed different schools of magic: summoning or dark magic. Why not simply have a super skill that allows you to master all schools? And the mana pool would be much larger, not just 300. At the beginning, in the first 3 missions, I had 480. Plus, there are still two slots left for non-magical skills.

In the first mission, it's quite difficult to obtain a super skill, to put it mildly. But in the second mission, it's perfectly achievable!

Oh, Gods! I can't get past the "Path of Knowledge"! At all! Even on Recruit difficulty! First, I got the air elementals (they somehow disappeared quickly), then earth elementals in the snowy lands, then I killed all the blue ones, except for the one that appears after approaching the right dock, I swam around, killed the green one, joined the water creatures, went to the right dock, caught the blue one, and killed it (lost all the air elementals). The Phoenixes don't want to join me - I swam to the Temple and approached the Tower, but it's no use. There was some text at the Tower, but in the flooded Temple, they didn't say anything at all. I tried to attack the brown one, but it defeated me so easily, as if I were a boy, not a serious guy with a super ability. I can't do it. I started with a Warrior, struggled, switched to Recruit - it's the same, I fail without any difficulty... what should I do? Please, write down the walkthrough!

Another question - how do I get through the 2 walls of fire? I approached with water elementals and without them - it doesn't make a difference, it won't let me pass. What should I do?

Okay, sorry, I've almost passed it - I defeated the brown one without Phoenixes, lured him out of the castle, managed to jump in there myself and create mini-artifacts for everyone: health, initiative, and defense. I survived thanks to the golems, of which there were almost 500 at the beginning of the battle, and about 130 remained, they damaged the entire rest of the army. Then I found out that the Temple is not the flooded one, but the one that is the Sanctuary, opposite the fort on the hill. Then you need to swim to the prophet's hut on the island, and he will give you 40 Phoenixes. By the way, where you recruit the elementals, also on the island, 200 more water creatures joined me.

But I still can't get past the fire border and complete the secondary quest "Gift of Life" - what is the Evil that needs to be defeated? How do I get past the border? Help!

to pass through the wall of fire, you need to find the Amulet of Frozen Embrace and the Phoenix Cloak. The amulet is guarded by titans near the dwelling of the elementals, and you will find the cloak.

Added after 20 hours and 20 minutes
and when will the 3rd part be released?

A question for the author... when will the third part be released??

Thank you all for your comments and interest in my mod. Unfortunately, life has changed a bit, with more travel around Russia and the usual lack of time and energy. I recently decided to resume work on it, but after opening the project, I realized that there is still a lot to do. I won't say that the mod will be released tomorrow or next month, but it will likely be released eventually. I hope those who are waiting for it will understand.

Let's wait, I think it will be worth it))). If you haven't started working on the next mod yet, let the players suggest who they want to see as the main character. For example, I would like to see the dark elf Railag.

I would like it to be released sooner.

Rambo, I don't know how it is for you, but for me, the AI destroys the Hive as soon as I place it. In your screenshots and replays, the opponent completely ignores them... Maybe in version 3.0, things are different?

I specifically registered to thank the author. I played through the previous campaign and enjoyed it. But this one is simply amazing. The plot, cutscenes, dialogues, and the game itself – everything is harmonious and of the highest quality. In my opinion, this is the best thing I've played from the fifth installment of Heroes of Might and Magic, including its original campaigns. I really hope for a sequel. Thank you very much again!

I think this game is better than the original "Heroes"! I replayed it yesterday because I couldn't wait for the third part. I even watched all the credits and the bonus about the werewolf-transvestite! Huge thanks to the author! I'm really looking forward to the sequel!

Thank you very much for Isles of Mystery, the campaigns are magnificent. :smile20: After completing all the islands, you should at least be awarded the Nobel Prize. ;) I am eagerly awaiting the third part and would be happy to help in its creation. I can write scripts and test their functionality.
