Trial of Sight | Mission 2: The Call of Malassa - main quests Heroes VI - Shades of Darkness Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Objective: cross the gate guarded by Shadow Lurkers

Reward: 10000 EXP, +3 destiny

It's time for your second here bought at the Hall of Heroes to collect all the units from the city and head towards your main hero. In the meantime Raelag should keep travelling further to the north-east. Once you reach the Dark Elves outpost (M3, 11) you can attack and take it over. In return you will receive as much as 30 Shades (upgrades Assassins) who will be crucial in the upcoming fights.

As you approach the gate (M1, 9), the Shadow Lurker will ask you to complete another trial: the trial of sight. It can be initiated by speaking to the assassins beside you. Your task is very simple: during the battle, you will have to pass unnoticed through the gate and defeat all the enemies. Remember that the assassins can only stay hidden for a given amount of turns, so you should rush at the enemy as fast as he's in range. If possible, you should engage two groups of Shadow Lurkers in battle at once. They are very weak in direct fights and your two groups of Assassins can block four units at once. After defeating the creatures, you will be able to move further to the north.

At this point everything depends on whether you were able to reach the Onyx Circle before the other Elven factions. If yes - you can just head north towards the dragon visible on the map (M1, 10). If not, you will have to first defeat an enemy champion. Additional units which you sent from your town will also come in handy.
