Countdown to Extinction | Warcraft III Reforged walkthrough Warcraft III guide, walkthrough
Last update: 06 February 2020
After escaping from prison, Thrall must avoid the wrath of the Witch that controls Murlocs, but also beware of the forces of nature. The volcano threatens all inhabitants of the island. It's time to escape, but your workers need time to make repairs.
Main quests:
- Survive for 20 Minutes
Additional quest:
- Save Trolls from the surrounding villages
In this mission, your only task is to stay alive and repel enemy attacks. At first, these are going to be small groups of Murlocs, but with time they will grow larger. Enemy forces will arrive from three different directions, so always have a quick response group of troops available. It is worth to build additional Burrows just in front of the Towers. This way you will not only gain food for further expansion of your army, but also protect the remaining buildings from enemy attacks and buy yourself some more time to repel enemy forces.
At the very beginning of the mission, send your warriors to three nearby villages in order to get 6 additional units. Now, you have enough soldiers to defend yourself for the next few minutes. Keep them inside the base to quickly respond to enemy attacks. You can also divide the army into two separate groups and keep each group on the left or right side of the base. It's worth to carry out a quick raid on a wolf pack in the left-bottom corner of the map to get another Claws of Attack. This way, your hero will inflict much higher damage.
In the following waves of enemies you will also have to fight Golems which have a siege type of attack. Therefore, they will easily destroy your buildings. Fortunately, they often attack alone, so you can eliminate them quite easily. You should do this before they demolish Watch Towers, because constructing new ones takes a lot of time, consumes a lot of resources and weakens your economy (the worker spends his time on reconstruction instead of collecting resources). These units are immune to magic - Spells, Traps and even the basic attacks of Shamans or Witch Doctors will not work on them!
In the last minutes, the enemy will literally flood your base. The Witch has similar skills to Thrall and will often cast the Earthquake spell which slows down your units and deals damage to buildings and soldiers. The most important thing is to survive until the end of time - protect the main building, Barracks and your Peons. You can build Burrows and Towers near the mines to ensure their survival. Even if the enemy destroys half of your base, but Thrall and the most important buildings are still standing, you will achieve victory.
