Posts from Wizard – “The Triumvirate” [Campaign 6, Mission 3]

Aha) At first, they would take away his crystal and destroy the garrison that replenished the undead ranks, while Fedya was already hunting down Markel himself.

That's how it works! :) An interesting strategy! :)

I struggled with this mission. I bypassed the Dungeon, recruited Knight troops instead of my own, and went back up. I ended up with 5 or 6 Angels and spent the rest of my money. I took all the chests for money, and the peasants from the three huts provided income. I cleared the garrison without losses and moved on. In the castle, Elaine, level 20, was stationed with a considerable army. In addition, Rutger, also level 20, was also nearby with an equally large army. They instantly defeated my Zehir.

This continued until I found a secluded area with a prison in the Dungeon. I don't know how I didn't notice it right away? Everything suddenly changed. I gave the entire army to Godric. After all, he is only nominally a level 20 hero, but in reality, he is level 30. It's not so scary with him.

The garrison surrendered without a fight. The level 20 Knights hid. In the castle, a level 5 Necromancer trembled with fear, despite having a decent army. I easily captured the Knight castles. Only with the last one, which Rutger was defending, did Godric have to struggle. Godric's advantage in upgrades helped. After visiting the tree that reveals part of the map, Faidaen appeared. I found Elaine in a Necromancer castle with an immoral Necro-Knight army. Even Zehir managed to defeat her.

My 3 heroes visited all the upgrade locations. Godric and Zehir reached their maximum level. Moreover, there are 2 level upgrade locations on the map. Only Faidaen could not be upgraded further, as he already had level 33. There were no problems with Markel.

Overall, the mission is straightforward, and no problems arise. Just accumulate some troops before the battle with Markel, especially regarding Faidaen, as he will fight in a castle. Therefore, I already approached Markel with Godric, while the others remained in their most developed castles, gathering troops. I didn't even bother paying attention to the garrison before Markel; I defeated him through the Astral Gate, and then I bought all the troops in the castles where Zephyr and Faidaen were located, and I defeated Markel without any problems. The main thing is not to get distracted during the battle by the creatures summoned by Markel; they will disappear on their own when you defeat the main ones. That's it.

After Godrick is freed and exits the dungeon, the second hero, Zephyr, cannot exit; the game says the tunnel is blocked. What is this?

VictoriaV, which game version are you using? In version 1.5, I didn't encounter this issue. Perhaps it was introduced in version 1.6? I don't remember which hero was the first to exit the dungeon. Try sending Zehir out of the dungeon first. Maybe after that, Godric will also be released.

I agree with you, Boris K, I haven't experienced that either!

Guys, I need your help! I'm having this issue. I rushed Zephyr to the Dungeon, he spent about a week and a half exploring the dark and creepy depths, and freed Godric. He gathered some troops, and with Godric, he took the garrison, which, with some reluctance, showed him (Godric) its respect, but didn't join. Then, again with this old man (who dies in the expansion), I captured Griffonville, and right after that, two heroes appear, one stronger than the other. After the first assault, I couldn't believe my eyes... in the garrison, there's only one... Godric. Not a single unit. I quickly bought him 10 swordsmen. And the second enemy hero arrives the next day, and all he has to do is loudly fart to send Godric and his unfortunate swordsmen flying. Maybe I should capture the city with Zephyr. But Ellaine (enemy hero, level 24), and the other one is a mage - I don't remember, but Godric is barely level 17. These script-following weaklings need to be repeatedly beaten over the head with a monitor for such treatment of gamers. Help, maybe I did something wrong?

I've read all the reviews. I've tried everything, there's nowhere else to expand my army, everything around me is mine. I freed Godric. Faelan doesn't appear, and the mission doesn't end.

Maybe the city should be captured by Zephyr. But there's Ellaine (1 enemy hero, level 24), and a mage - I don't remember, but Godric is barely level 17. These weaklings in the scenario need to be repeatedly beaten in the game for such insults to gamers. Help, maybe I did something wrong?

I had Godric capture all the cities. Only, he was maxed out. In the first campaign, I leveled him up to level 24. And in other missions, he was my main hero and leveled up completely. Other heroes were no match for him. Compared to him, Ellaine at level 24 is an easy target. Only in the 5th mission of the Necropolis campaign, I struggled until I defeated that monster.

a1968b, there's probably some kind of bug. Faelan should be waiting somewhere in the middle of the map. Try starting the mission again through the campaign menu.

:mad:Boris, Maybe, despite the losses, it makes sense to break through to Faidaen?
I'm already exhausted. This is the fourth time I'm going through the mission. At the beginning, they gave you a bonus: either a Titan's Fork, or 4 unupgraded Rakshasas, or resources.
I chose the Rakshasas. Then, following your recommendations, I carefully cleared the way to Godric, found him, freed him, and escorted him. The tower garrison joined him, and I transferred the human army to Zephyr (he's level 22), captured Gryphonville, then Stujville, and then either Ellaina or Rutger (Hauer) appears. If any remnants of the army remain after the first battle, the second hero destroys them, not allowing them to take a single turn. I have version 1.6. Please help, because I'm so tired that if I lose again, I'll uninstall the game completely.

Zeratul, we have different starting conditions. It was much easier for me because I had a very well-leveled Godric. With a human army, he crushed everyone. In the first campaign, I leveled him up to level 24. In the third campaign, they reduced his level to 10, but kept all his skills, abilities, and characteristics. He leveled up again to level 20, which means he was almost equal to a level 34 hero. Plus, he obtained all the level-up bonuses in these missions. Of course, he had all the spells of light magic. If you want to have one like that, replay the 5th mission of the 1st campaign and the 2nd mission of the 3rd campaign and level up Godric to the fullest. You don't need to replay the 5th mission of the 3rd campaign, which I struggled with for a long time because of the leveled-up Godric.

Boris, :D thank you very much for your help. I replayed mission 5 of the first campaign, leveled up Godric to level 18 (couldn't go higher, there was no one left to fight on the map), and in this mission, it was difficult, but now after capturing Griffonville, neither Ellaine nor Rutger dared to attack. I managed to build up relatively peacefully, upgraded my army, destroyed the garrison in the barricade, and sent Godric to Stujville. And then I met Rutger.
Initially, I saved, accepted the battle, after which I had only 2 knights left, realized that things were getting serious, reloaded, and quickly captured Stujville (fortunately, I had built additional ranged towers that destroyed 5-6 enemy archers with one shot), accepted the battle, buried Rutger, and then Ellaine. Then I easily captured all the castles and reached the marker. I saved here. Thanks again for your help.

Zeratul, to level up Godrick to level 24 in the first campaign, you need to explore the entire map, including the dungeon. In version 1.5, he could be leveled up to any level if it weren't for the level cap. I don't know how it is in 1.6, but in 1.5, enemies never flee the battlefield. They appear in groups of 2-3 every week. You can level up indefinitely.

A simple walkthrough for this mission (assuming you have Astral Gates in your spellbook and can summon a Phoenix). Head towards the garrison, bypass it. Capture the first Castle. Immediately go right to garrison 2. Bypass it as well. Proceed to the middle left Castle. Along the way, defeat the computer hero. Capture the second Castle. Then, go to the upper right Castle; I encountered another computer hero along the way, which I defeated without much trouble. The third Castle is straightforward; my army was weaker, but the Phoenix summoning spell gave the computer no chance. Summon the Phoenix, send it behind the Castle walls towards the archers, and it will eliminate them all. After that, it's quite simple. Then, go down, capture the middle right and lower right Castles. Of course, after capturing the Castles, replenish your army a bit. In the first Castles, I only recruited archers because I had problems with resources and couldn't build much in the captured Castles; the trading post near the first captured Castle helped. By the way, the upper right Castle was almost fully built by the computer, so thanks to it. There's a stone mine at the lower right Castle. Once the computer player was gone, I went to the Dungeon. To make it easier to navigate with a decent army, I cleared both garrisons and recruited another hero from the tavern near the Dungeon (I had to clear the garrisons because the newly recruited hero didn't have Astral Gates in his spellbook; it takes too long to explore the Dungeon with just one hero). By the way, I couldn't find Godric and decided to explore the lower left corner, as I hadn't been there before due to focusing on leveling up Zehir. I went there as soon as I gathered everything on the map, defeated almost everyone, and received a message that I had reached the maximum development level for this stage. Only then did I go to see what was happening behind the lower garrison; I thought the prison with Godric was there. After bypassing the lower garrison, I reached Markel. I was offered to fight him, which I couldn't refuse. However, since Markel had been significantly leveled up in previous missions, he defeated me, but only once. On the second attempt, I realized that the trick was in his duplicates, which appear and shouldn't be focused on; you should only target the main troops. Another difficulty was that he had the spells "Dominate," "Berserk," "Summon Phoenix," and "Create Phantom"; I only had "Summon Phoenix" and "Create Phantom," but I still defeated him, after which I was kicked out of the game. I decided it was a bug and tried again, as I always save the game during gameplay. After the fifth attempt, I realized that I needed to change something and started looking for Godric or Faidaen, not knowing where or how they would appear, which annoyed me. I went into the Dungeon and, surprisingly, quickly found Godric's prison. After that, I saw one cutscene, and then another. Faidaen appeared in front of the lower garrison. I defeated this garrison with him and went to Markel. I reached him and waited there for Godric and Zehir. On the way to Markel, I bought more troops in the Castles and arrived with a decent army. Then, I redistributed the troops, planning for the first battle to be difficult, and the next two easier. The first battle was with Zehir, then Godric, and finally Faidaen. By the way, a tip: before the battles, have all the heroes approach each other, and they will learn spells from each other. For example, Godric and Faidaen learned "Summon Phoenix," and Godric learned "Teleport to Castle" (which will be useful in the next level). Also, I noticed that if you refuse the first offer to fight Markel and attack his Castle instead, he somehow fights less aggressively and doesn't use "Dominate" and "Berserk" as much as he did before. The difficulty level is Veteran; I haven't tried Hero difficulty. I completed all levels on Veteran. So, good luck to everyone! I'll try to finish the fourth mission of this campaign; I haven't completed it yet.
