Ashes of Tuidhana (1/4) | Mission 1: The Other Elves - main quests Heroes VI - Shades of Darkness Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Objective: Reach the surface

You begin the mission in the southern part of the underground (M1, 1). Head north! After crossing the bridge, you will be able to test your new units in battle, gather the local resources and visit all the locations. In this part you will also have to take care of your army, as you won't be able to regularly restore them!

During the battles it's best to wait one turn with the Assassins while shooting at the enemy with ranged units. When the enemy gets within an attack distance from out units, make your move and make them invisible in the next turn (hero skills: Shroud of Malassa) and retreat. Thanks to that you can easily inflict damage without losing units. It's also worth to move your shooters away from the enemy's reach or hide them with the Shroud of Malassa. I'd recommend you practise saving up your units, as each next battle will be harder and the received reinforcement very humble.

You should definitely visit the Observatory (M1, 2) to unlock one of the side missions: "Eyes of Malassa". While you're moving onwards, you should collect the dragon blood crystals, thanks to which later on you will receive the aid of the Shadow Lurkers. The northern gate (M1, 3) is currently closed, so after visiting the Armoursmith you can head east. There you will come across a group of Pretorians, after defeating which you can get back to the surface (M1, 4) and therefore complete the first part of the mission.
