The Wages of Secrecy M15 | Necropolis Heroes VII Guide

The above map presents two locations that comprise the area of the third mission in the Necropolis campaign. The first one is a maze of a kind, which consists of islets and canals and where it is easy to get lost. Additionally, there are 5 Sylvan cities as your opponents. Not only do you need to hurry to prevent them from gaining too much power, but you also need to gain some new territories. There is only one long mission that you need to complete.

The Deadwood Staff - main mission

This mission becomes active the moment you start the third mission in the Necropolis campaign. Your main task is to find the portal that will take you to the Treasure. First off, you need to travel to the North-West, where you find Spirit Gate of Myr-Gathal (M15,2). Unfortunately, the portal entrance is behind three barriers. To bring them down, you need to find the appropriate altars.

In the South-Eastern part of the map, there is the Altar of Ylath (M15,5). You only need to click on it, collect the key and unlock the Sigil of Ylath. On your path to the altar, you will have to pass by the city of Adangath (M15,4). You can either avoid the battle or try to seize it. The latter is much more beneficial, but you need to consider whether your army is strong enough.

The second altar - of Elrath - is in the North-Eastern part of the map (M15,7). It is not being guarded in any way and you should have little problems reaching it. The Altar of Sylanna, which is the last one, is in the North-Western part of the map (M15,11). Now you can simply cross all of the barriers and use the portal.

In the other location, you first need to rebuild the bridge, which is going to cost you 500 gold, 3 ore and 3 wood, and lasts 1 turn. Now you need to get inside the stronghold walls. To do this, go to one of the portals which are located to the North and to the South. As soon as you get there, you need to use the Solar Sigil (M15,13). Activate the sigil as one of the heroes and cross the barrier as another one. You can now collect the Deadwood Staff from the Treasure(M15,14).

You can destroy the wooden door by clicking on the banner in front of it.

After you collect the staff, you need to escape this location as Ludmilla. To do this, go to the small banner to the South-East of the Treasure and click on it. This destroys the wooden door. You need to do the same in the case of the other door. Now, you are going to fight two battles with quite weak opponents.

Out of the Southern portal, a very dangerous opponent emerges. It is best to escape from here, before he reaches you. As soon as you reach portal 4, you complete the quest and you receive 4000 experience points.
