Posts from FAQ on completing Heroes 5.

Order of Order Campaign.

Mission 3.
Q. I have already uncovered the entire map and haven't found any enemies, what should I do?
A. You must destroy all neutrals belonging to the Inferno faction; after that, an enemy hero will appear. Once you defeat him, the mission will be completed.

Mission 4.
Q. I captured the human castle, but there is no way for me to get across the destroyed bridge. Where do I go next?
A. Slightly north of the bridge is an oracle's hut; you need to visit him. After that, you must descend into the dungeon located further north and head south until you reach the crypt. After raiding the crypt, you will be given Boots of Levitation, which allow you to walk on water. Build the mage tower in the city up to the third level and move Isabelle to the other shore.

Mission 5.
Q. Why does the "mission failed" message appear after the first week ends, even though I captured the city?
A. During the first week, you must also rescue Isabelle. Her prison is located right by the eastern wall of the human castle.

Q. The mission objectives say that I need to find the Tear of Ashi, where should I look for it?
A. You need to visit three obelisks. One is in the center of the map, the second is in the northeast corner, and the third is slightly west of the southeast corner of the map.

Q. The mission objectives say to meet with Nikolai's troops, but he is not on the map. Where should I look for him?
A. To complete this objective, you need to lead Godric past the southeast garrison.

Inferno Campaign.

Mission 1.
Q. It's impossible to run away from Godric, maybe there is some way to defeat him?
A. You specifically need to run away from Godric. This is possible by developing Logistics and, most importantly, using sanctuaries. While you are in this building (looks like a church on the map), you cannot be attacked.

Mission 3.
Q. When the elven "avenger hero" arrives, no matter how I develop, it's impossible to defeat him. What can help here?
A. This is a fairly difficult mission. There are 3 elven cities on the map: the second is slightly south of the northwest corner, the third is slightly south of the northeast corner of the map. You can win if you control two out of the three cities — after some time, you can gather troops that are equal in strength to the "avenger's" troops. For this, you should not linger at the first city for too long — try to break through to the second city as quickly as possible. You should also note that the enemy does not attack the starting Inferno city, and the "elven weeks" only begin upon the capture of the first city, so its rapid capture is not mandatory.

Necropolis Campaign.

Mission 5.
Q. I don't understand how to get to Godric?
A. To reach Godric, you must free his daughter (her prison is near the human castle, but only Markel can free her), and then move Markel toward the necromancer castle. Angels will attack you, and after defeating them, the "Angel Wings" artifact will remain. Put them on Markel, and he will be able to fly over obstacles.

Shadow League Campaign.

Mission 5.
Q. I brought Railag to the gates, but nothing happens. What did I do wrong?
A. To complete the mission, you must bring both Railag and his companion to the gates.

Sylvan Alliance Campaign.

Mission 5.
Q. I kill Nikolai, but he is reborn, even if he has no castles left. What needs to be done so that he doesn't reborn?
A. There are two ways. First — complete the oracle's task to collect 4 relics. After all relics are collected, go to the oracle, and he will give you Phoenixes. Now you can go to Nikolai, but for him not to reborn, you must have at least one Phoenix remaining in your army after defeating him.
The second way — destroy all Phantom Dragons on the map.

Academy Campaign.

Mission 5.
Q. Why does the game crash after defeating Markel?
A. This happens because not all mission objectives have been completed. At the very beginning, even before the first garrison, you had to go into the dungeon and free Godric. After that, the garrison will join him, and later the elf Faidaen will appear.
