1st mission - Something is Rotten M&M: Heroes VI Guide

Main quest: The Wild Hunt

Goals: reach orcs and conquering both their cities

Reward: 10000 XP

We start the game on the north (M1,1). We should take nearest mines ASAP, and collect resources - they'll be useful during castle's development. Greatest part of creatures here won't fight with us - they'll join our army instead. Benefit it - soon we'll meet less peaceful enemies.

Not all creatures will join us

So we'll have a fratricidal fights

After getting sawmill (M3,4) and dwelling (M3,2) we should move east. There, near to the bridge (M1,2), quest get activated( Egg Stealers). When we go through the precipice, we find first group of orcs - simultaneously position of enemy's cities will be discover. We have to conquer both of them.

We can't let orcs move across the bridge

There is enemy's fort just after it

The easiest way to victory is quickly moving east - there we'll find orc's fort (M1,3), and a city (M1,4). During this encounters we should bet on defensive - shoot them with crossbowmen, defend with sentinels and regain losses using sisters. Then we should armed seriously and replenish our troops - second fight with barbarians won't be that easy.

The faster we smash an enemy, the better

Don't forget about conversion!

On the southern-west of a map we'll find second enemy's city (M1,5) - to reach it we'll have to go through a jungle and conquer two forts (M1,6). But before we start a siege, it's worth to wait til the week end and recruit additional units. Just after we defeat orcs, and the mission ends, another quest activates (Religious Disputes) and we get a stab in a back - it's good to prepare for it.

Very important is conquering both forts

They'll be useful in further defending

To complete a mission, we need to take over savage's village (M1,5) -it's well guarded but if we cared about our army properly, it should fall rapidly. Siege scheme is the same like shown in chapter Tactics on the battlefield.

Main quest: Religious Disputes

Attention! This mission gfratricidalt activated after finishing The Wild Hunt!

Goals: defeating a baron

Reward: 30000 XP

Just after smashing orcs, we'll get attacked by rebellious baron form the southern west - two gates leading to his kingdom get opened (M1,7). We should expect attacks on two fronts: northern and western (where the barbarians villages were). It'll be good to arm additionally and with few heroes get rid of the enemy. He has the same types of units as we - so the most important thing is quickly eliminating his sisters (so we won't resurrect his troops) connected with effective protection of ours.

Enemy will attack us right after gates opening

We should make a counterstrike immediately

When enemy's heroes will die, there will be a moment for a counterstrike. It's best to make it from two sides - our opponent has some numerous advantage, he possesses three cities and a fort (M1,8). Attack from wings should decrease his defensive potential.

Rebel's residence

Our task is to defeat a baron - he is in his main castle on the east (M1,9). To rush on the gate we should sent sentinels, supported by crossbowmen fire and sisters healing. Victory in battle ends a scenario (conquering all enemy cities isn't required M1,10).

Secondary quest: The Choice

Goals: reach first level of tears or blood reputation

Reward: +2 to Destiny

Mission accomplish itself - every choice get us closer to the finish. Remember, that reputation points we gain not only in buildings (like arena or arcane library) but also thanks to quests (Egg Stealers) and decisions connected with neutral armies (8 blood points for chasing, 10 tears points for letting free).

Prince's New Groove

If we don't collect enough points, we'll finish this quest in the next scenario.

Secondary quest: Egg Stealers

Goals: finding griffins eggs and taking them back to the nest

Reward: 10000 XP, sword ironfeather (+3 to might defence)

We obtain this quest during passing bridge on the east (M1,2) - griffon appears in front of Anton - and his nest being robbed by goblins. We will have to find stolen eggs. There are few entries to undergrounds (M1,X), but only a northern one (M1,X2) leads to thieves. Right after getting down, we should go to the south - we'll find eggs (M2,1). We can decide about goblins destiny gaining 50 tears or blood points (no further storyline consequences).

Gotcha!

Reward is quite big

Then we should bring back eggs to griffins - just move to the exit from undergrounds (M2,X2) and talk with creature sitting on a cliff (M1,11). From now on you can recruit griffins in castles.

Other: Undergrounds

Caves hide many precious things - on a map we can find many entries to undergrounds (M1,X), where many artifacts and buildings wait for Anton. If we have a spare time, it's worth to look around a little.

Tempting, isn't it?
