Wizard's Isle Campaign, second mission - The Eternal Scrolls - this mission cannot be completed.

[TLCD17]

I have already completed some of the extended campaigns from the game fheroes 2, but I have one mission that I can't complete in any way.

In the "Wizard's Isle" campaign, the second mission of "The Eternal Scrolls", we start with one castle. In this mission, you have to visit the keymaster's tent as soon as possible - located to the north and free the hero from the prison, which is located to the east.

Regardless of how the player would lead the first 3-5 days...

1. By strengthening the starting army as much as possible.

2. Or by gaining as many resources as possible and recruiting heroes.

3. Or by sending one hero close to the place where the prison is located, and sending the second hero with the main army to the north to visit the keymaster, and with the third/second hero to close the gate near the starting castle.

...and so the AI ​​will come up with the idea to go to the player's starting castle and kill the entire army of the player and his heroes. Regardless of whether the yellow AI comes to the player's castle 3-5 days, it is still impossible to free the hero from prison earlier or defeat the strong army of the yellow AI.

Additional information:
I play fheroes2 in v1.1.3 always on easy difficulty.

This is not an issue, moving it to the discussion section.

Hi @TLCD17 ,

Please do not create issues if they are just questions about the gameplay. Use Discussions section for this matter. Also, update to the latest version as 1.1.3 is pretty old already.

@ihhub I have a hard time choosing the name for the topic I wrote. I'm not good at it, so you move it where it should be.

Regarding the fheores2 version - version 1.1.3 chosen by me is good because of The Price of Loyalty mission at the start, e.g - artifact and weaker AI play on this mission (and its extended campaign).

@TLCD17 , we removed AI perks in the last few version so the AI might be easier for you for this map. This is why I suggested to upgrade to version 1.1.6.

[TLCD17]

@ihhub For the sake of the artifact I wrote about, I will not change the version. Besides, even older versions can be easier to complete. Some time ago I wrote about the mission Price of Loyalty, which was difficult to complete due to the boats and AI. After one, two and subsequent versions of fheroes2 since then - the AI ​​was even stronger, even if there was no problem with the boats summoned by the AI.

Ho, @TLCD17. This mission was recently beat by players on 1.1.5 on hard difficulty. This map is one of the most difficult maps and it is like a puzzle in the beginning.

My advice is to take control of the nearby stone liths as soon as possible by having a hero stand on the stone liths by day 2 with only a few very fast creatures (boars or gargoyles if you recruit a warlock hero). The best thing would be to send 3 Heroes to the liths so that you can potentially grab the necromancer's two castles near stone liths, depending on where the hero with the liches goes.

@zenseii Thank you very much for your advice on the mission. I am closing the discussion.
