Seek and Retrieve | Chapter I - The Dark Arising Impire Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
This mission ends first Act. You get an access to Extractor and Arcanium.
Guards of treasures in your dungeon are Fire Warlock, with which you should deal easily and little overpowered Overlord. After defeating the second one and opening his chest, two ore monsters appear: Priest Soul and Overlord Soul. Two Squads may have problem with defeating them.
Mainquest: Dust of Broken Hearts
Oscar wants you to find for him a Dust of Broken Hearts. It's a very powerful artifact.
At the beginning, raid the surface and encourage an archeologist to help you. Send random Squad to the ruins.
When they return, archeologist will be standing in front the gate.
Now you have to escort him to four places. You don't have to worry about him. Even if he gets into a fight heroes won't attack him. There are a lot of them so two Squads are absolutely minimum.
When you finish walking around the map, you'll get to know that you need two keys to open the crypt. Their location is marked on the map. But wait a while and you'll hear that keys aren't existing.
New enemies appear on the map, and you'll have to escort archeologist to crypt's door.
When the door opens, you'll meet a nice lady called Xaphyna the Lich Queen. She'll give Baal an offer, which he declines.
Fight with Lich Queen is very difficult. Attack her with all you've got. When her health drops below half, she'll teleport away, heal and summon four Skeletons. Eliminate them - until they exist, Queen is invincible. When you resume the battle, she'll summon four Wraiths. They are stronger and fight melee. Again, defeat minions before you hit at the Queen.
Killing the Queen ends mission and the first Act.
Secondary mission: Weapon Shipment
You'll receive an information about a nearby weapon shipment. Find it. It's worth to wait for a good Squad at your hand. It is not because of difficulty, but because every warrior who'll be back, will get maximum weapon upgrade.
Secondary mission: Cursed Skulls
Begins during fighting enemies while escorting the Archeologist. You'll see three skulls on the world map. Activate them, each gives you an undead warrior.
Secondary mission: Goblet of Goo
Mission begins with short cut-scene.
You have to find on the map a mark like above, but be careful. If any of your Squad touches it, it'll be teleported to the other place where will meet few enemies and Minotaur. You should win this. After a win, Squad will be sent back. To get your reward, give mysterious item to the dwarf.
