Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era – Tutorial Challenges Guide

Let’s go one by one as they appear.

Two things you need to bear in mind: type of creatures affects the speed, so we need to have skeletons from our castle, and artifacts like boots of speed also affect movement speed.

So, what you gonna do. Give the guy in the castle, Leon, some skeletons, and don’t forget to relocate grunts to the castle, go grab the boots with Leon, and go back as close to John as possible. With John you need to take boots, switch grunts with skeletons, and now you can reach the final marker with John who have boots and only skeletons.

This is the easiest one. You can’t build in the castle, so just buy as many angels as you can, pass a turn, now you have +5 angels in the castle. Buy them. Buy a few more outside, and now you have no more gems. You need at least 10-12 angels to win, maybe less.

Take all wood from the map, build 3 markets in the cities.

There you have two options.

a) If you are not an Eagle eye, and haven’t recognised the upgrade icon near your hero’s portrait, you can buy 10 gems, 10 crystals, 7 mercury, and from there trade 9 crystals to 3 mercury. You don’t need all resources like 10 at once. Only to have them separately to be 10.

b) If you are smart enough, you can click portrait in the bottom and upgrade a skill, that your hero become a market, counts like one. So, now you have just right amount of money to get all three resources to be 10 at once.

Oh, now, compared to the Demo Version, this is really tricky.

First of all, go to the near tower and obtain the perk to learn ANY spell in the observatory. Observatory – it is not a building on the map, it is this button on the right panel which looks like a big eye. Click it. Now click the button for area spells. It looks like an earth or something in the right corner of the ‘observatory’ menu. Here you really need to learn, UNLOCK FOR FREE, only dimension door and shadowflight.

Now go to the map. Use a book icon and cast a spell of shadowflight. Go through the mountain and battle with the teh kittens. Here is a secret: if you kill one kitty, its death triggers a berserk ability, so your girls will kill in the rage all fo them in one turn. So, doesn’t matter.

Go further to the desert. Use dimension door on the marker when you have no more points. Easy as that.

Your main hero will be Aeos with 15th level. Upgrade her by clicking her portrait in the bottom part. There are a lot of skills to choose. Now you need to move other heroes just so that you can give all units to the main hero. For example, move Clarissa to the farmost left. Give all artifacts and units to Vesper. Move Vesper to the center road. Move Aeos a little bit till the first crossroad and give her all artifacts and units from Avis. Now give her all loot from the Vesper. And go fight those ugly queens. Use a lot of magic, you have quite a good spells here.

I prefer to fight northern ones, upgraded queens. Here is the thing: we need not only to take out retaillion from them, but also to block them from our cavallery.

First know-how: do not move on turn 1, just skip with all units. So the queens will move, and you will have two turns in a row. Attack the central queen with your chevalier. With that approach you will have more space between queens. Remember, that cavallery have more damage if they move more heexes before the strike. you will kill her entirely.

Next, block like a line with birds from the queen (up or bottom doesn’t matter), and take out retailiation from her with one bird, now you should be able to kill the second queen. And the tricky part is to block the third queen from your cavallery man. If you able to do so, have your birds in a line against her, she will kick one of the grifons, and you, with precautiously taken away retailiation, will be able to kill her with a horseman. Just remember, you need him to move some hexes to be able to kill her.

Pass a turn, strike once leeches with your angels and surrender with 5 angels. In the city buy your hero, move angels to the city, take 1 grifon and 1 soldier. Go to fight. Flee as fast as possible. Rebuy the hero in the city. He has an ability to have 6 angels after fleeing. Buy all troops in the city. Now you have 11 angels. And it is a piece of cake to destroy leeches. Just focus leeches and skeleton-archers.

You have unlimited movement points, so grab all the loot on the map, visit the mighty owl. You need a wings artifact to be able to collect 7 eyes artifact. After that, when you looted everything and visited owl, go to hte city and build the second level of the mage guild. Now you need some star dust to upgrade spells. You haven’t one. Just disassemble flying wings artefact by clicking a small cross-a-like button when you choose artefact on the paper doll screen of your hero. Now you have got 50 dust and you can upgrade two spells. I highly recommend to upgrade fireball and lightning bolt to level 4. Don’t forget to choose -1 cooldown of all spells when upgrade your character after level up. Level up icon is in the bottom part of the screen near a portrait.

After that you can go and fight. Place your poor grifon two hexes from upper border and one hex from left border, exactly like that. After that start a battle and pass a turn with hourglasses. When they stack with nice group of four, you now have two turns in a row. Throw fireball two times in them, group of 4 queens. Now you need to kiting them and throw lightnings and if they stack again – with fireball. You should be able to kill all of them.
