Storm, Steal and Escape | Mission 1: The Other Elves - main quests Heroes VI - Shades of Darkness Guide

Objective: return to the starting location

Reward: 7 650 EXP, +2 defence

You mission is running from the surface to the starting point of the mission. The gate opposite to the Reliquary will be activated, giving the enemy a convenient path and making chasing you easier. Leave the Reliquary using the portal (M3, P3) and head east to the descent (M5, X4). Once you're in the underground, keep moving to the south. The previously blocked passage (M1, 3) will now be open, shortening your journey. Before heading into the bridge (M1, 1) you should save your game. You will come across an enemy champion, Yeshtar, who's also the last enemy in the mission. The fight can be harder than the previous ones as the enemy has a considerable amount of units and what's worse, also commands a Dungeon army. You should focus on eliminating the Stalkers and Assassins, afterwards the Shadow Lurkers. The Minotaurs should be left for the very end. You don't have to watch out for your units here too much, as the mission will end right after the fight.
