War Machines (2/2) | Mission 1: A Selfish Prayer for Light - main quests Heroes VI - Shades of Darkness Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Objective: destroy 3 enemy catapults within 21 days
Prize: 5000 XP, +2 might power
Once you're north, you should ignore all side missions and head directly to the catapults (M1, 10). If you still have a week left when you reach the first machine, you can start collecting crystals on your way (in order to place an Improved Town Portal in Nelsham-Nadin), otherwise just focus on completing the mission. Destroying all three catapults will end this part of the mission.
You should have some freedom now. You can head north to the Haven Fort (M1, 11) and end the "Gold Rush" mission. You should also visit the mass tombs (M1, 6) and increase your army. Sooner or later Haven will land on the beach again (M1, 8) which will force you to use the Improved Town Portal and return onto the island. Soon you should receive the main mission: "Nelsham Gorge Bridge" and a side mission: "Spider Defence".
