The Story of the Lost Daughter M23 | Academy Heroes VII Guide

The map above shows two locations constituting the second mission in the Academy campaign. Same as the map, the gameplay part is divided into two distinctive sections. The first one includes map exploration, capturing buildings, and gathering your army. The second one requires you to navigate through a complicated system of magical activators. To avoid unnecessary irritation, read the detailed description of the Be Careful What You Wish For quest.

Path of Dolor - main quest

The quest will begin automatically after the intro to the second mission in the Academy campaign. Your main objective is to find some clues concerning the location of the Blue Gem. You just need to circle around your city and visit the local areas. After some time, you will be asked to find a Necromant on the East. As soon as you enter the darker terrain, a hero will approach you and begin a conversation. After the dialogue, the quest Lyla will begin, and it needs to be completed first.

After you complete the abovementioned quest, go to the Spirit Altar (M23,16) and speak to the now beaten Lyla. Path of Dolor will be completed, and you will receive +5 to Luck/Destiny.

Lyla - main quest

The quest will begin after you speak with the enemy hero during the Path of Dolor quest. You need to defeat heroes Lyla and Luna, as well as capture the city of Bel-Enlil (M23,13). For completing this quest, you will receive +5 to Attack.

Be Careful What You Wish For - main quest

The quest begins after completing the Path of Dolor quest. You will be transported to an alternative world (M23,17), where you will have to locate Jadwa's Essence.

Watch out for figures and symbols near the magic circles.

First, head West. Enter every magic circle you see. After a while, you will meet Khalida. After the conversation, she will enter one of the circles, leaving you to enter the second one. Follow her. You will be separated and teleported into two different locations, and you will be given control over Khalida as well. Before you, there is a lot magic circles, forming an identical pattern on both sides of the map. You need the two heroes to enter subsequent circles. It is crucial to enter circles in the right order. Below is the correct sequence for entering the circles:

• Circle with the ghost/banshee statue;
• Circle with the golden priest statue;
• Circle with the symbol of swords;
• Circle with the green ivy;
• Circle with the horseman figure;
• Circle with the deer herd;
• Circle to the North with no visible symbol.

Now, you just have to go to the end of the path that just emerged and step into both the final circles. One of your heroes will be teleported to the place where Jadwa's Essence can be acquired. After you take it, you will be transported back to the previous map, where a battle with Shantiri Titans and Shantiri Golems will automatically begin. After your victory, the second mission in the Academy campaign will be completed.
