Cursed Hollow | Map types and descriptions of maps Heroes of the Storm Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
This battleground is ruled by the Raven Lord who supports the team that collects tributes he spawns. They stay on the ground until a team picks them up, so hurry up to be first there.
You collect tributes by clicking RMB on them and waiting a moment. This action can be interrupted by attacking the hero doing it.
When you collect THREE tributes, Raven Lord will curse the other team. Cursed forts will stop attacking and minions' health will drop to 1 point. That's how you can easily destroy enemy's structures.
Information about the cursed team is located in the bottom right corner. There's also a clock that counts time left until the curse is over.
Mercenaries
Giants
Giants are an easy enemy, they're located near every lane and will start pushing through one of them when you conquer their camp.
Knights
Knights are more difficult, their camp is opposite the Giants' one. They act the same - they'll start pushing through the closest lane.
Boss
You can also find a Boss, he's a very difficult enemy and the team's support is recommended.
Watch towers
Cursed Hollow has two watch towers that you can capture to see through the fog of war and have an advantage over the enemy.
One of them is in the upper left side, the other in lower right side.
You can capture them just like mercenary camps and shrines, just stand near them and wait until the progress bar is full.

Help
The core thing is to collect tributes that are spawned randomly on the battleground. Be prepared for that and take some teammates with you. Collecting three Tributes gives you a huge advantage over the enemy. It's a good idea to capture some mercenary camps before you collect the last Tribute because Giants and Knights can destroy cursed forts fairly quickly. The enemy team will have to decide to either fight the opposite team or the mercenaries.
