Howling Mounds campaign :

1) When you arrive you watch a cutscene. Korshar gives the order to a skeleton
general to call the 5 commanders to defend the fortress. Your mission begins
then. 3 of the commanders have a magic fountain of monsters near them. You
need
an army to beat them. You can handle alone the 2 commanders north and the
second north west. In the same time, you have begun a dwarf camp.

2) The major problem of this map is the iron. There are 3 iron sources on this
map. One of them is north of your dwarf camp. You don't have much time to
waste. Once you have 15 or 20 warriors destroy the second camp north of you.
It
has a second dwarf monument. Normally the dwarf units are really strong. You
can advance and destroy another camp and another magic fountain north of
this
camp. Now you have free the 2 other iron sources.

3) Go west and kill a single leech. You find the cadaver of Cassius. The only
problem is that you can't leave the map to show it to Flink now. You obtain a
fourth soulstone (the first from the angstling, the second from the bonelurker,
the third from the nightblade and the fourth is from the crypt stalker). Flink
has moved of the fortress of Greydusk Vale. You must find him elsewhere (in
fact in Greyfell). Destroy the last camp to the west. Beat first Nevermore and
his horde and then the fountain. Don't kill the last commander now. He won't
move anyway.

4) You have noticed a magic fountain near the gate of the fortress. Save your
game and go there to destroy it. Normally the gate won't open, if it's the
case, simply reload your file and beat the last commander.

5) With this, you activate the next event. A gigantic horde will spread all
over the land in your direction. I suggest you attack first and stop the wave.
Build a new army now. The time is a problem as the fortress has a lot of
fountains to destroy but you can't build endlessly an army as the iron is very
limited.

6) During a first phase you must destroy the magic fountain in front of the
fortress if you haven't done it previously and then the 2 inside the fortress.
Build again a new army (30 soldiers) and advance to the next fountain. Then
there is another one in the first part of the way to the portal. I encountered
the problem of iron here and there are 3 fountains before the portal to the
inside of the fortress. So i used only 10 soldiers per wave and 20 workers to
fight the ennemy. Be sure to destroy the building to close the fountain and
especially the one in front of the portal. It produced skeleton generals hard
to kill. Kill also the leech named The Unforgiven, you obtain the soulstone of
the unforgiven and the tears of a soulless creature. After lots of try, you
access the portal.

7) It's time to summon your 5 most powerful heroes. Inside the fortress, the
game will look like Gauntlet Legends for the decor. The way is linear and you
must kill the monsters one after the other. Once you feel ready attack Korshar
to obtain the second part of the mask. Now you are ready for Whisper city and
Hokan. Pass the portal.

Whisper campaign :

1) When you arrive you watch a cutscene of a warrior. Find your way to him and
he asks you find his griffon and his weapon and armour. This map is hard to
begin but then will be easy.

2) When you arrive to the next part of the map, you find a dwarf monument, an
elf monument and a bindstone. Activate the bindstone. Now build
simultaneously
the dwarf and elf camps, with an armory, a forge and the resource buildings.
You won't have much time before the leeches see your camp. They will
immediately send a huge wave to destroy it. The food comes easily and you
can
upgrade to 20 soldiers quickly on this map. Take the basic soldiers and don't
fight the coming horde. Avoid it by using an alternate way.

3) While the horde will destroy your camp, use your weak army to destroy the 3
magic fountains on the southwest part of the map. Of course your army will be
a
decoy while your avatar shoot the graves. All in all, you will finish this
alone and kill some leeches. Now it's time to help your camp. Until you go
back, summon workers to lure the leeches. It will split into several groups to
destroy each building. Use this fact to fight small groups. Don't forget that
the leeches will probably switch off the bindstone, so don't die.

4) Once you've the saved the camp, begin to rebuild it. With only your heroes
you can defend it from the northeast and from the east. The ennemies come
one
after the other. Once you feel ready take 20 soldiers with you. Beat the undead
camp to the east, it has a moonsilver mine you really need to succeed on this
map. Once you obtain it (it won't be easy) you have just to push to the max
each camp to obtain the 2 titans and at least 60 soldiers (i pushed to 80).

5) Your priority is to beat the camp to the far east, the deads come from the
north east but their camp has many magic fountains. Once this camp is taken,
you find 3 leeches who guard a grave. This is Lea's one. Kill the avengers and
then the ghost of Lea. Take the letter and the jewel.

6) This part of the map is cleared. Now go west, you find another huge magic
fountain, destroy it. You really need 70 soldiers, careful. By exploring this
part of the map, you find a hero camp and a phantom spider. Kill it and you
obtain the first light silk. You are now stucked.

7) Once you have a new army (or maybe as for mine, you still have your 60
soldiers) go to the northeast part of the map. You find a mosaic. Kill the
guardian and input the first part Jon gave to you in Greydusk Vale. A new part
of the map with a magic fountain and a horde appear. Beat it. After this, a
guardian of the 2nd fragment appear on the map. Beat it and input the second
fragment (it opens a part of the way to Ismail from the cutscene). Then beat
the third guardian and input the third fragment. You must fight "a cruel one".
Once dead, go near the hero monument and you discover a new way to the
griffon
of the warrior. Your avatar must talk to the griffon to free him.

8) Near the griffon is a small city you can reach to kill more undeads. You
find in all the chests the weapon and armour for the warrior. Now beat the last
guardian (very very difficult alone, easy with a horde). Input the last
fragment. The way to Ismail is opened and again you must fight a powerful
horde.

9) Talk to the warrior, let him go alone to Ismail and he will kill him and his
leeches. Now you can travel alone to the grave of Hokan. Talk to the ghost to
learn the secret of the phoenix stone and where to begin to search for it and
then give him the mask of Belial. You can advance to the portal to Godwall and
take the last dwarf units in the chest.

Sidequests to solve now :

1) Go to Greyfell. Talk to Sartarius. Now find Flink in the town (near

Castagir). Show the fragment and he says that Fayt has another one. You offer
to kill him but it will be very hard. You need to go to Leafshade by using the
portal in Eloni (i suppose the bandits switch off the second bindstone in
leafshade).

You access to the hero and human monuments. Kill some bandits on the way
and
then summon the heroes. They will help you to free the way to the second aria
source. Build your town and an army that goes up to 40 soldiers, don't forget
the griffonrider. Now advance carefully to the bandit camp and destroy the
waves one after the other. Attack again and again until you reach the boss
Fayt. You have just enough resource to do this (the bandits are level 16/17 and
20 (Fayt) while your soldiers are level 9 (with the rune found in Whisper). You
finally obtain the second part of the key. Give it to Flink and he will give a
reward : the ring of the rouges.

2) In Greyfell talk to Adhira. She asks you to find 3 special bloods (demon,
dragon and giant spider) to concoct a potion for a hero (her brother). He will
become stronger if he drinks it.

3) Still in Greyfell talk to the dwarf Hinrik. Give him the Dwarf Brandy and he
gives you the bronze statuette of Cronvig. Give it to Cronvig to complete this
sidequest.

4) Talk to Orthanc to obtain a soulweapon of your choice.

5) Last, go to Liannon and show the jewel and the letter to Shan Muir. She
directs you to Tyrgar the fisherman. He says that only the dark elf, Craig, can

help you to find Amra. The only problem is that he leaves in Southern Godmark
(so it will be later in the game). Now enter The Godwall.

The Godwall campaign :

1) You watch a cutscene of a magician asking for a fragment. Then talk to the
guard to learn the situation here. The way to Mulandir is blocked and you need
to kill the briarwolves to go there safely. You find an elf monument near the
bindstone so it's time to build the town. The problem is the food. How can you
upgrade the army if you haven't some food ?

2) Follow the way and free the first camp (do this alone) and talk to the
peasants. Bren will offer 350 food units. Build also a hunting lodge and a
lenya gatherer here. Once your army is ready you can destroy the small camp
to
the east of the village. You find some berries and you can build a gatherer hut
here to collect them.

3) From here you have 2 choices, you killed the briarwolves scouts one after
the other before they can report that your camp exists, or if you failed, you
will fight the waves one after the other until you can advance and reduce the
fountains to zero.

4) Once you feel ready, climb the mountain and attack the large camp on the
top
of the mountain, The fact is that the horde that guards the old dwarf town and
the hordes of the 2 camps of the east won't move for now. With a total of 30
soldiers and possibly an elf titan attack the camp to the north. You must go
through all the defenses and beat 2 magic fountains. Some peasants leads by
an
archer, Hal, will thank you and offer iron. Then there is a set of 4 archers

towers. I stop here and then go all the way back to my camp with the
remaining
troops. I summon then reinforcements in the elf camp and then the horde that
guards the old dwarf camp began to move. It's time to annihilate it.

5) Don't open the door now, talk to the guy and take the key. You must retreat
again after the fight and summon reinforcements. Fine again for another attack
of the large camp. This time you will have to deal with 2 towers and a
fountain, then another set of 2 towers and a griffonrider. I retreat again and
summon some helps. In the final line, there are 2 towers, 3 buildings and a
horde to beat. You will have the opportunity to talk to a man who asks you to
free the scribe. He will also says that the wolfsign you found on corpse of
briarwolves corporal can be sold to Halycos in Farlone's hope.

6) By exploring the map you find lonely persons who spare resources or
someone
who asks you to find the scribe. You can also find another dwarf and elf
monuments. Now open the dwarf city and summon the titan and some
reinforcements. On the east part you find a spider which guard a corpse with
items on it. Don't forget the tree here. From the large camp, go north and beat
the 2 finals waves with a griffonrider and the boss, captain Kliar.

7) Now finish the 2 camps, begin by the one to the south then the one just
above. Reason of this order, you find a medicine that you must give to the
peasant chief. The map is finished. You have just to pass the portal to
Mulandir. This campaign was very hard IMO.

8) In the last chest before the portal you find the first buildings and troops
for the orcs.

Mulandir campaign :

1) During a cutscene, the scribe warns you about the medusas and the
gargoyles.
This campaign is an action one. You can summon your 5 best heroes. Then you
will have to advance carefully avoind the cursed guardian or you will run to a
gameover (it stones you and your comrade, then summon gargoyles to finish
you).
There is nowhwere a monument to build a city so here are some clues.

2) On the west part of the map, you can clean it easily by progressing very
slowly, reach the portal to Farlone's hope. Don't pass it now. The main quest
says you must find clues here. You must reach the guardian you see on the
northeast part of the map. On the west part, on the top of the mountain is a
phantom spider which will give you the second light silk Tanara needs.

3) Now it's time to head east, be sure to avoid the cursed guardian. The reason
they stone you is that they are level 25. My hero is at level 19 and i doubt
your heroes will be higher than level 20, unless you battle only with him on
previous maps. Reach the east part and you found another hero monument. By
going north of here you find a locked gate. Don't forget this location as it's
the way to The Rift.

4) Now try to obtain the chest south of this gate. It contains the orc rune
worker level 10. After you explore all the map, there will be 2 chests harder
than the other to take and one area that require a trick to be reached. The
first chest i am talking about is the one you see when you go north then left
fom the beginning of the map. For this one, i attack by the northeast. Be sure
that all the monsters follow you there. Once they are all beaten, send 1 hero
to collect the items in the chest. He will be probaly stoned after but the

mission is completed.

5) The second chest is south of this one. The path is guarded by a cursed
guardian and there are 2 gargoyles that are bording the way. Lure the guardian
and run into the demons. Don't fight them, run a little so you can be sure that
the cursed guardian won't see you. Take the chest.

6) Go to the portal to Farlone's Hope. The area difficult to reach is on the

east of this portal. The guardian will stone you if you advance. Now send 2
heroes on the other side of the way. The cursed guardian will have to move.
Meanwhile, go east then north to reach the area. In this part you see only
lesser demons and fire demons. However there is one called arzach that you
need
to kill. He is level 15 and not very hard. You obtain the blood of demon
necessary to forge a shadowblade and also a rune archer level 16. Exit of this
area and find your way to the east. To reach the guardians you need to go east
and then north in a mountain path. On the way, kill Thar and his servants. You
obtain his head.

7) Talk to the guardian. He will ask you to find 4 fragments. You already have
one that you can give to him. He also opens the way to The Rift for you. There
is one fragment there. Before you leave this area, activate the bindstone and
the hero monument near the guardian. Now you can 1) meet Tanara to obtain
the
magic robe, 2) meet Urak to obtain the shadowblade. He says that he needs
time
to fix it. Go to Greyfell and immediately come back, it will be ready. The
shadowblade is a good weapon, it has a 10-17 power and you can equip a
shield
on the other hand.

8) Go to the portal of The Rift. You find some chests with new orcs buildings
and troops and some buildings and troops for trolls.

The Rift campaign :

1) You meet Talia. She wants to kill Ulather. She goes in the canyon. To follow
her you need an army. Unfortunately you can only build an orc camp here. You
have all the necessary resources and especially iron sources. The ennemies
come
from one direction so post a tower asap to protect the entrance of the camp.
Post also your hero.

2) When all the buidlings are up, including the medium HQ, build an army of 40
soldiers and attack the demons. They come from the east. You need to follow a
path in the mountain to find the 3 magic fountains. It will be very hard but
you need at least to destroy the first demon gate to stop the 3 magic
fountains. The second and third gate will be very easy to reach. On this map i
obtain a bug with the drummers. You can summon them infinitely as long as
the
lenya is inferior to 30. Maybe this bug has been corrected in the 1.1 version.
It also takes 50 lenyas instead of 15 to create a drummer if you have more than
30 lenyas.

3) Once you beat the 3 fountains, take the 2 chests the monsters were
guarding.
Now advance. If you wish you can also destroy the other fountains in the
mountain. You find them by following the paths. They are heavily guarded but
the monsters don't respawn infinitely if your hero don't fall against the
monsters. I think it's better for the rest of the campaign. Else when your camp
will be attacked after Ulather's death, they will probably respawn and flood
you.

4) Talk to Talia and she opens the gate to fight Ulather. She loses. Fight him
and kill him. You obtain a rune warlock level 18, a red glowing key and some
stuffs. Talia says she will follow you. Find the hero monument. You can't use
the troll monument for the moment. Use Talia to beat the medusa level 23 in
the
mountain path near the troll monument. The medusa loses a cool armour.

5) Meanwhile you summon your heroes, your camp has been devasted by a
horde of
demons coming from nowhere but it's like that. Don't fight them they are too
much powerful for you (level 25 monsters only). Once all the monsters are
gone
in the mountain go to your camp. Talk to Talia and she will give you her
fragment. Now you can also open the 3 chests near the portal with the red
glowing key. You obtain a rune for troll workers and new buildings and troops
for both orcs and trolls.

6) Now you have the choice to exit of this map to end this campaign, or to
build a troll camp and then attack the remaining demons even if they are
"peacefully" sleeping in the mountains of the rift. The reason to this attack
is that one of the monster will give you a stone of eternal fire. These stone
are counted, if you miss this one, you won't be able to complete all the
sidequests that require a stone of eternal fire. Talia is gone and there is
nothing else to do in The Rift. All your quests and sidequests leads you to
Farlone's Hope now.

7) Once you feel it's time to leave The Rift bring the fragment to the
guardians in Mulandir and then go to Farlone's Hope.

Farlone's Hope campaign :

1) There is not much to say about this map. You begin to talk to a soldier of
the red legion. He talks of the dragon to the north, the briarwolves camp and
also that Halycos (or Halycor) gives reward for wolfsigns. He also tells you
that if a member of the red legion sees an orc he will attack it due to old
tales. Go east of where you are to meet commander Halycor. You can give to
him
previous wolfsigns obtained on other maps and future one you will find on
some
corpse. This quest cannot be triggered off. Talk also to Thom. He asks you to
find someone to heal the cataract of the general of the red legion.

2) Near the first soldier you met, you find an orc monument and a trader post.
Talk to Jon Farlone. He says that his part of the fragment is guarded by Fyrmir
the old dragon. Talk then to Rigour, he will change the shadow ring into
enchanted ring. Say also that Thar is dead and you will earn some exp. With
the
enchanted ring you can see Shadows (some monsters you will have to chase to
complete a sidequest). You also learn that Elwen has the last fragment you are
searching for.

3) Honestly, you can build an orc town if you wish, but the wolves are so weak
that i destroy each camp with only my avatar. Anyway, if you build all the
buildings and troops, summon the orc titan and only totems. In one of the
camp
you find an assassin named Seth. He asks for a wolf armor elite and a red
legion dagger to kill Briar. You find the armor by killing the captain Urar in
the camp west of the one with Seth. The dagger is guarded by a group of
briarwolves near a cadaver in a camp north of your orc monument (or by
following the west path to the north you find yourself on the other side of
this camp). Give the items to Seth and say you are ready.

4) You watch a cutscene where Seth kills Briar. The elite soldiers decide to
leave the camp and kill the red legion. The problem for them is that now they
are alone and the red legion will finish them. DON'T even try to fight them or
you will die. On the contrary when they leave the camp, attack the camp of
Briar to the north and finish this war. In this camp you find Elwen. She says
her part of the fragment is hidden under a stone in a middle of circle burned
trees. Talk to the dwarf, Brok, and he asks you to find elements to make a
gunpowder. Leave the camp and go back to the trading post.

Note :
1) East of this camp you can find several drakeling camps. I suggest you
destroy them for exp and also for treasures.
2) On this map in one of the camp in the north you find the last orc unit, the
fighter, in a chest.

5) South of the trading post you find the stone Elwen described. Look
underneath and use an army to kill "The Frost Thing". Now you have the
fragment. Go to the trader Farlone and asks him for the powder. If you have
opened all the chests in The Rift and Mulandir you have all the elements except
for one and only one : a stone of eternal fire.

6) With your totems and the orc titan go to the north and meet the dragon
Fyrmir. First use your avatar to kill alone all the drakelings on the way. Then
use the totem to kill Fyrmir. You obtain dragon's scales, a stone of eternal
fire and the last fragment part. Go back to the trader Farlone. He makes the
last element. Go back to Brok in the final camp and he will ask you to follow
him. After a big explosion he opens the way to the portal to Greyfell.

7) Now go back to Mulandir and talk to the guardian. He changes into Melchlan.

Be sure to have your heroes with you before you talk to him. Fight the 4 elite
soldiers. Once they die, continue and kill all the Melchlan's dolls on the way.
Last talk to Melchlan to obtain the phoenix stone. Then you can talk again to
him to kill him or let him leave. I kill him for exp.

Sidequests to solve now :

1) Go back to Greyfell. Offer to Orthanc the dragon's scales and he will give
you the armor.

As you are on Greyfell go to the bindstone. Gabar will come and inform you of
the situation. Sartarius went to Frost Marshes to open the way for you.

2) Talk to Seno. Seno gives a needle. Return to Thom with the needle. He will
give a tablet. Show this tablet to Goran in Greyfell who asks for a sapphire.
As you have completed the Shin Tar Guar subquests, you have one. Give it to
Goran. The cataract quest is complete. You will obtain the reward from Goran
only if the game is patched, version 1.05 or higher.

3) Go to the Northern Windwalls and find the band of Shadows (south of the
trench, near the spider nests). Kill them and you obtain the manifest of the
shadow. If you wish more exp, you can also kill a band of undeads level 4 who
mysteriously appear (probably summoned by the shadows). You can, still for
exp,
pay a visit to Greydusk Vale and outside the fortress (south of the path to the
4 caverns, kill another band of Shadows. Go to Rigour and show the manifest.
He
says that you must find the shadow Crystal.

4) All the roads lead to Howling Mounds now. You must find this crystal and

also solve once and for all the Amra and Lea quest. There is also a third quest
in Howling Mounds i didn't mention. On this map, you killed on the northwest
part of the map a graverobber and obtained a glowing octagon. Find the
Sleeping
Figure to the north and in a hole near the iron mine and input this octagon in
it. Talk to it and you made an alliance with it.

5) Teleport yourself inside the fortress and go to the portal to Whisper. You
notice now north of this portal a suspicious wall. Look at it and find the
shadow crystal. Now exit and go to the Amra's guardian horde. Kill it (a lot of
level 10 won't be a problem for you). You notice also a small group of Shadows
on this map. Kill them all. Now go to your dwarf monument.

6) Build the complete town with all upgrades and dwarf titan. Summon 20
soldiers composed of elites, elders and demolishers. Go to where you found the
horde of Amra's guardians and look at the small grave. It is the one of Amra.
Fight the new horde. Have your avatar beat the level 10 while your dwarf fight
with "The end of hope", a fighter level 30. When your number of soldiers
decreased send your titan and your avatar to finish it. The end of hope will
probably kill the titan and possibly your avatar if you don't take care of him.
Once he is dead, the level 16 ghost of Amra comes. Kill him and you obtain his
armour and greaves.

7) Show the Shadow crystal to Rigour. He says he doesn't want to take it. Bring
it to Castagir. He says that he must study it. Go on another map and then come
back to him. He will give you the Shadowpulse armor. You look very cool with it
and are heavily protected against any kind of magic with it.

Ice Gate Marsh campaign :

1) When you arrive run to the hero monument. Summon your best heroes. Kill
everyone on the way. The foes are weak compared to you. At the end of the
path
you meet Urias (a cool bug occurs as he is in both ice marsh map and greydusk
vale fortress) and Craig, the dark elf. Talk to Urias and he says that
Sartarius is being held captive in southern Godmark. Talk to Craig and he says
that you can find dark elf runestones here in frost marshes. The problem is
that they are guarded by very dangerous ice elves. He also tells you all he
knows about Amra.

2) Advance with your heroes and beat some forest drakeling. You find south of
Craig a portal to Southern Godmark, east of him an orc monument and north of
this monument is a path to the ice mountain where you must go to obtain the
dark elf runes. Note that you will have to fight ice elf, giants and ice
golems. In this path you find a troll monument. They are more than useful
against the golems as they don't fear to be frozen.

3) Begin to explore the mountain path while you build the orc camp. You can at
least kill some giants. Some of them are stronger, Wieldwilder and Destroyer
(both level 25) can be beaten now. After Wieldwilder, you find in a chest a
small HQ for Dark Elf. When you will see Ironfist i suggest you retreat for now
and come back later with troops. He is really strong and cannot be beaten in
hand to hand battle.

4) You have to deal with ice elf camps, ice golem camps and a frost thing camp.
Don't forget to kill the giants. The monsters come from only one way. Guard it
with your heroes and avatar. Once you feel ready to build an army of 30
soldiers minimum (40 would be a better choice though) Go to the golem
camps.
Let your heroes block the way of the ice elves and send your avatar and the

units full of totems and firemasters (and some other fighters if you wish) to
beat easily the 2 golem camps (they are near the troll monument).

5) Once they are gone, proceed by waves to finish the ice elf camp. You need to
fight 2 magic fountains. It begins with 2 frost bringers, then 2 others, then 1
alone. You reach the camp and it's protected by 2 frost bringers. Concentrate
your troops on the ice conjurer(s). They are deadly as they will summon ice
elementals. Destroy the 2 frost bringers in the same time, using the avatar and
heroes. Now launch an attack on the 2 buildings to stop the first fountain. I
notice that attacking the second fountain with only the heroes and avatar will
stop the production.

6) By killing the ennemies in small units and then attacking the buildings
without being seen (i use this often in this game, as in Metal Gear, Spellforce
is an infiltration/RTS/RPG/Action game) is a better method than to summon
troops again and again. Destroy the 3 academies, but if you wish to stop the
fountain, you must also beat the 3 frost bringers. There will be a last frost
bringer protected by some Frost Things.

7) At this point, you need to kill all the frost things. Again i did it with
the heroes and avatar. Reach the elemental node to stop the last fountain (the
one of the frost things). Summon again a full army of 40 soldiers with lots of
firemasters and totems. Add few veterans, a drummer and a hornblower to
help
your troops. Do 2 armies, one of 25 and another of 15. Summon the titan (if not
already done) and call again your heroes, which must be dead by now.

8) There are 2 bosses on the map. Near the frost things camp, there is "The
Frozen One", level 29. Send the firemasters and totems to finish him. You
obtain the rune for dark elf slaves. Beat now the giant Stormfist. To do this,

send the orc titan in the front line, followed by the 15 soldiers and the 25
next. The titan will suffer 50 points of damage, use a rune priest (a hero) to
heal him during all the battle. The totems and firemasters will also work as
archers, then they will attack. Alongside the titan you can send other heroes
or the veterans. When your army begin to decrease, send your hero to finish
the
giant. You obtain good stuffs and jewels.

9) You have found here, a quarry, a small HQ, an onyxshrine, a tower of sorcery
and a mindbreaker. It's sufficient to build a dark elf town for the moment. Go
and talk to Craig. Then go south of him and pass the portal to the Southern
Godmark.

Southern Godmark campaign :

1)This map is fairly simple if you know the trick to win. When you arrive
switch on the bindstone and the dark elf monument. Summon the workers and
build
the quarry and the small HQ, then the onyxshrine to collect aria. Now, protect
the bindstone with 2 towers of sorcery and 2 mindbreakers. Protect the rest of
the camp with as many towers and mondbreaker you can (4 of each is
sufficient).

2) On this map all the blade monsters are level 13 so attack the horde from the
west and the east alone. Your hero is strong enough to do this. Begin by the
west. Beat also the golem camp. Advance and beat another horde. Now come
back
to your camp and stop the horde from the east. Your questbook says that you
can
advance to the orc monument, don't do this, it's useless.

3) Go west after the golem camp to discover a hero monument. Summon them
all.
Now go south, in the snow, and continue to the south. You find a horde of ice
elementals guarding a chest, and later you arrive directly to the magic
fountain of the ennemies. Now your goal is to destroy the black building. Use
your avatar to do this while the heroes are used as decoy. Finish the frost
bringers and then run on the second and the third fountain. Each time focus
first on the building.

4) With the remaining heroes find the fourth fountain to the south, another
dark elf monument and a chest near it with a dark elf unit. Once this fountain
is down, you have practically win this map. Now go north and find the black
tower. Destroy it. You will have to fight a horde of 20 blade soldiers. This
horde has a trick, each ennemy move after he receives a hit. It means that you
must press repeteadly the button of the mouse and point on the ennemy you
wish
to hit, else the heroes and avatar won't do anything.

5) When this horde is down, explore the map and take all the chests (the
rewards are very poor). Once you feel ready find the second bindstone, near
the
portal of the ruins. Switch it on. Pass the portal. Beat the monster. You find
Sartarius. You watch a cutscene where Sartarius dies and the dark one takes
the
phoenix stone. Then Craig and Urias come to save you. Help them to beat the
blade soldiers. Collect the items in the 3 chests. They are the last buildings
and units for trolls and new buildings and troops for dark elf.

6) Talk to Craig, then to Urias and last go to the portal to Nightwisper Dale.
On the way you can open 2 chests. Pass the portal to Nightwisper Dale.

Nightwisper Dale campaign :

1) Another easy map. My avatar is now at level 24. You begin to zigzag around
the toxic flower and kill the blade soldiers one after the other until you
reach the second bindtsone. Note that the chest and the treasures are hidden
by
the trees in this part of the map. As i say, you reach the bindstone. Now you
see a fork, to the south and to the east. Both path leads to the same way. If
you go south you reach the dark elf fortress and and if you go east, you will
destroy a Kithar camp. Go east and not south, you will understand later.

2) I suggest you clear the map and find the hero monument to the south. Near
the path to the hero monument is the path to the spider's lair Zalaga. Kill all
spiders and then Zalaga and you obtain the spider blood needed to complete
the
last sidequest. You probably notice other camps on your way if you used the
east path and not the south one. Don't approach them without your heroes.

3) Normally you must talk to the dark elf, but don't do that. Helped by your 5
best heroes, conquer alone the monument. The magic fountains don't exist
here
(except for the case you ask for help) and the blade soldiers are weak (just a
captain and a defender are dangerous, the other are weak). Concentrate on the
captain and then on the black towers.

4) You find a dark elf monument and a troll one. Don't use them. If you use
them the magic fountains in the Kithar camps will be activated and you will
dive into a very long RTS phase. In order to succeed with this trick, be sure
to never die. if so, reload your file and retry. Advance. Now the goal is to
destroy the 3 Kithar camps. Advance carefully and force the first boss,
Solobrashe to follow you. Kill him (you obtain a dark elf slave rune level 14).

Now attack the rest of the horde, destroy the buildings.

5) You arrive at a fork, use the path to the south to reach the second camp.
You will go north later. For the second camp, advance slowly to beat the horde,
then the building and last the second boss, Kzin (you obtain a rune fighter
Gareth level 20).

6) Save now. For the third camp, you can beat one or two Kithar alone, then the
whole horde with the third boss, Horshak will attack you. Concentrate your
power on Horshak. Then on the grey warriors, then the brown one. Technically,
only my avatar survive to this fight. He destroys alone the buildings. You see
a path that goes down. Follow it and find a cadaver to obtain items. Now go to
the dark elf camp.

7) You notice weak creatures named Irvish. Kill 7 of them to collect 7 aria
crystals. Talk to the dark elf. Give him the 7 crystals and he will give you
some troops. Direct these soldiers to the 2 dark towers that are guarding the
portal. As they are soldiers of the darkness, they don't fear the power of
these tower. You have a small mission to complete, go to the first Kithar camp
and then to the fork i mentioned, this time go north. You will fight a fourth
boss, Razaar. After you win, talk to Archon. He will protect you from the dark
magic of the black towers (but it's useless if you follow my way) and you find
near him 2 chests full of buildings and troops for dark elf.

8) Complete this map and pass the portal to the Breathing Forest.

The blood sidequest :

Go back to Greyfell and give to Adhira the 3 bloods. She says that you need an
adamantium vessel. Go to Southern Windwalls and talk to Skarvig. He asks for

adamantium, but if you collect all the chests in the Stoneblade Mountain, you
still have one piece remaining, give it to him. Now go back to Adhira with the
vessel and she does the potion. Bring this potion to Tombard his brother. Go in
the little village near Greyfell to find him. Give it to him and kill him then.
You obtain a sword 8-12. Go to Breathing Forest now.

Breathing Forest campaign :

1) When you arrive, follow the path to the south to find the bindstone. Then
advance straight. You can see Kithar and Blade Soldier camps. Both are
numerous, Kithar to the north, Blade Soldiers to the south guarding the portal
to the last map of the game.

2) If your hero is stronger (level 25 and above) you can beat all the camps
alone, turning the game into a hack and slash. The magic fountains won't be
switched on because you don't activate a camp. So you pass, kill everyone, a
boss sometimes and you obtain new items. You will obtain for each race a rune
worker level 15, for the dark elf the last buildings and troops.

3) You obtain also a new rune hero. each time, a boss is guarding it on him or
it's in the chest.

4) The only true thing you notice on this map is the giant tree Bloodash who is
guarding the heart of the forest, a green jewel. For the moment, you have the
choice to steel it (approach it and then take it) and fight Bloodash, or to let
him leave in peace. I suppose that this event will interfere with the upcoming
add on for Spellforce.

5) Don't waste time to build a dark elf camp, it will spare you a lot of time
and a very hard RTS phase as you will be attacked by all side. You won't be

able to protect each resource buildings. Beat all the ennemies for exp and then
go to the last map, Sharrowdale. Agaian don't die and don't switch on any
monument and the ennemies magic fountain won't be activated.

TIPS SUBMITTED BY MARTICUS :

"About the giant tree 'bloodash' who gets mad when you take his gem, all you
have to do is take it, after killing off all the cat creatures, and lead him
through the blade camps and he will wipe out all the towers and some of the
nexus.
You can just put the jewel back anytime you want, so I just killed off the
cats, took the jewel, let him destroy most of the blades, and put the jewel
back, and he was neutral again."

Note : This can be a real good idea, you gain a lot of time by doing this as
Bloddash is really powerful (try to beat him and you will understand).

Hints submitted by Francesco :

"In Breathing Forest I understood how to use Blood Ash to your advantage.
When
you get the stone, he will follow you, but even any other of your units; he
will stop chasing you if a worker passes near him to follow this one, then when
the unit is dead will search you again. Well, I stole the stone, went to an
edge of the Blade camp and made sure he followed one of my workers on the
other
side; then I had let him kill the worker, and to follow me again he smashed the
camp. That was the only way to do it because in version 1.05 the black towers
bring instant death. And take a look to the Farlorns Hope Rift Mulandir
campaign triad: following your walkthrough, in the Rift (second part) you
SHOULDNT HAVE the troll worker rune, found in a chest in the main wolves
camp

at Farlorns hope (if Im not mistaken). And anyway I wasnt able to force
through the demons, even with a full army of orcs; I dint try with the trolls."

Note : That's why i received mails from people complaining about the black
tower. Once patched the game seems to become more unplayable.

Sharrowdale Campaign :

1) Once again, choose to not activate the monuments. You will gain a lot of
time by choosing the hack and slash path instead of the RTS one. The fountains
of the ennemies camps won't be activated. The only condition is that you
mustn't die. The first part of the map is composed by 3 ennemies camps. A
camp
leaded by a Pyrotwar to the south and north of it a camp leaded by "The
Second
Princeps Of The Hand". Not so far of this camp is the one leaded by "The First
Princeps Of The Hand". You obtain the 3 wedges necessary to open the gate to
the portal to The Plain.

2) In the plain, go south and beat the Master of Souls and his soulslaves. You
obtain a first octagonal key. Don't switch on the monument and go to the north
to beat the huge blade soldier camp. The boss, "The Third Princeps Of The
Hand", has the second octagonal key necessary to open the way to the portal
to
the Obsidian Mountain. Pass this portal.

3) Here summon your best 5 heroes for the final battle. Follow the road and
beat all the bosses on the way. The 3 of interest are "The First Triumvir",
"The Second Triumvir" and "The Third Triumvir". They have the 3 wedges you
need

to open the last gate.

4) A horde will spread, beat it. Advance and destroy the last black towers. You
can take a last chest (with an average shining armor inside) before fighting
the final boss, you will also discover a second hero monument. Now approach
of
the final boss. You see 3 ice weavers and 2 dark crystals. Send your 5 best
heroes on the boss, "The Soulforger" and send your avatar on the 2 dark
crystals. They heal the final boss so you need to stop them. The Soulforger
will revive 3 times with his minions.

5) Once it died, your avatar will pass the last gate automatically. You will
discover that "The Dark One" is in fact Rohen, or may i say his evil side. His
plan was to pass a portal to travel back in time and stop the convocation.
Rohen will do it and then will change into the white mage. You understand that
the time is looping. The old Rohen from the future tried to stop the young one.
The young Rohen though he was able to control the power of the convocation,
but
once he travel back in time, he becomes again the old rohen and finally he will
try again to stop his young himself. The young Rohen can't travel back in time
without being changed. All this adventure was just a miserable failure, unless
the addon allow to change this fact.

Sorry for the spoiler, but if you have read me so far you will forgive me. I
really thank you.
