In the Library (2/2) | Mission 4: The Doom That Came to Konos - main quests Heroes VI - Shades of Darkness Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Objective: defeat the Legion of Pain and Legion of Madness

Reward: 40000 EXP, 30 Faceless Puppeteers, 5 Black Dragons, Cloak of Darkness

After taking care of Eraela you can return to exploring the Library. You will come across the first enemy at the very first fork in the road (M1, 8). After a short cutscene, you will have to defeat the champion. Afterwards you can head further north and visit the Dark Elves post (M1, 9) to recruit 30 Faceless Puppeteers.

It's time to complete the side mission "Weapons can win battles, knowledge - wars". Finishing it will let you close the portal at (M1, 10). NOTICE! Under no circumstances should you attack an enemy city before closing the portal! Otherwise you will be attacked not only by the two Inferno legions, but also powerful enemy heroes with hundreds of units at their disposal! Right now, in accordance with the mission description, you have to visit three secret libraries (M1, 11) and close the portal afterwards.

Once you manage to block the enemy movement, you can move to eliminating the individual factions. I'd recommend firstly attacking the Legion of Pain and its city (M1, 12) and the fort at (M1, 13). After building an Improved Town Portal in every city, you will be able to easily move your army across the map. Your next target is the Legion of Madness: the city (M1, 14), fort (M1, 15) and in the end the castle (M1, 16). Taking over the last location will end the mission. Unfortunately now you're for a much more difficult challenge.
