The thing is, this game isn’t really about completing the story. By this point, other than my assassination chance and a high attack speed, I also had a high running speed, thanks to investing into the Running ability for the past few levels, so clearing missions was even faster. I forgot to ask for the alliance this time, instead just rushing to the Wastes to get to the final two battles.
The game is certainly predictable, so again, I fought with an ally (the Swarm) against Demons and floating skulls and got the final key. Now I was missing just one more key, so I took the long trip to the plains of Famine, where one more horseman was besieged by Gorgon’s forces. In hindsight, I should have accepted, since I didn’t get on the Dwarves’ good side before the game was over. I refused, because i would lose even more favor with the Dwarves. This was easy to do, and again, just like with Bane, I got the key and a chance to ally myself with the Plague. Just as it was with Bane, I had to fight with the Plague as my ally against Demons and a bunch of neutral floating skull enemies. I was close to the area of the Plague Horseman, so I took the chance to get one more fortress key. Basically, almost nothing in the game can do enough damage to me fast enough to kill me. I’m now attacking several times per second, with a chance to heal myself or do 500 extra damage to an enemy with every hit. “Champion of Bartonia” also increases my attack speed by 50%, just like the Winds of the Desert do, so now I was attacking at an insane rate. The final duel was a bit difficult, since like me, the enemy hero had an item that has a chance to heal the user, but eventually, my superior stats won. I played through the chain of arena battles and soon, the final bonus and the champion title was mine. I went back and realized that one of the replayable missions wasn’t actually replayable. Bartonia was an in-game location, part of the human areas, but for some reason, I skipped it. I had one more look at my list of bonuses and realized the last one was called “Champion of Bartonia”. I did get the Mythril Vein, though, which gives 10 extra armor to my hero. This place, according to the in-game description, used to belong to the Dwarves, so I was hoping the replayable missions here would help me get back on their good side, but even after several repetitions, it just wasn’t happening. One of the artifacts was found soon after, at Khaz-Barak.

I did the same here and suddenly, I was only two actual artifacts (and two fortress keys) short of a full set of bonuses. I then finally got to the area with a mix of Plague, Orc and Dark Elf presence, where I got the Cureall Stone with my first Archmage hero. This give 30 Exp to every Gryphon I train, so they’re basically worthless. After that, I moved on further south to the Orc lands, where I mostly fought goblins, but not before going through White Mountains, where I got one more artifact – The Gryphon Eggs. The Heart of Zhur now makes my hero completely immune to poison. I wandered onto an Undead island, where I got one more artifact during a chain of three missions. The problem was, I couldn’t find any missions, regular or repeatable, which would help me with that goal. I can understand the Dark Elves, but I don’t remember fighting Dwarves that often. For some reason, I made them and the Dark Elves my enemy. I moved on and got to the dwarven lands, where my intention was to somehow make them like me again. I’ve spent a lot of time here and I don’t think it was worth it.īeating the five battles provided me with an alliance with the Empire, but that was about it, so it didn’t feel worth it.
