Prologue has two episodes - during them we get to know about all basis game mechanisms and do few quests. What is untypical for this cycle, few missions we can complete in different way, what will have an influence onto further events. That's why we made a solution for the beginning of a game - you'll get to know what results your decisions will have and make all tasks without any problem.

In a prologue we met prince Slava - very important character. - 1st mission - Griffin Bane - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIn a prologue we met prince Slava - very important character.

We begin the game with one hero - Slava, who comes to the Pleasant Valley to checks out rumors about demons. He has small army and his aunt, Svetlana, helps him with wise advices. How it shows up, this calm start will have unexpectable consequences.

Because our goal is taking care about nearest mines (before fighting a succubus), we can't forget about those closest to us - on the west and east (M1,3). By a stone bed a small group of barbarians is (M1,4) - they join us happily. When we move south, to the next mines, another squad joins us.

On the south succubus Daeva is waiting for us (M1,5). Before a battle, we should visit nearest mines (M1,3). Fight with her is quite difficult - we'll lose some troops, but if we resurrect our army smartly with priestesses and keep an enemy on the distance, we'll win. After battle look over a place - in a cirque we can find an artefact, fireplace, obelisk (+2500 XP) and resources.

Goals: defeating crossbowmen at the stone mine, conquering enemy's castle, moving through a portal, eliminating three opposite heroes

Reward: 2500 XP

Situation gets complicated - The Emperor decided to throw out all orcs from a kingdom. Slava, Kraal's friend, can't agrees with that. He starts fighting with Emperor's mymidons.

Before lethal war begin, you have to collect an army. That's why we take stone mine from evil crossbowmen (M5,2). Then little reconnaissance - in a neighborhood of our castle we can find plenty of treasures and loyal guardmen, who join us eagerly.

After that we move south, eliminating enemies along our way (developing city simultaneously). When we reach big gate (M5,3), two quests get activated: Improve the Mausoleum and A Restless Griffin.

To go through a gate, we will have to develop our city - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughTo go through a gate, we will have to develop our cityWell find lot of treasures on new land - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe'll find lot of treasures on new land

After finishing first one, we'll be able to move onto new land. But we can't take control over nearest buildings - they belong to our enemy. To snaffle them, we have to conquer his fort, which is on the south (M5,4). Before siegeing, it's good idea, as usually, to look around - nearby enemy's fortification are two useful artefacts, guarded by not-so-strong elementals.

Thats enemys fort - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThat's enemy's fortIts always worth to fight for treasures - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt's always worth to fight for treasures

After capturing fortifications and moving through a portal, we'll fight with Haven's army - to win it, we have to finish battle with at least one myrmidon. It's not challenging, so our victory is quick one.

In this moment we obtain new goal - defeating three enemy heroes. It's worth to refill our army before fighting - luckily gate to the west has been opened (M5,5) and we can easily move back to our castle (M5,1). By the way - talk to the nearest orc (look at: quest The Hostage pup; M5,6) and defeat wind elementals (Stolen Heirlooms; M5,9).

Enemy heroes are marked on our map - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEnemy heroes are marked on our mapTwo heroes simultaneously - great! - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughTwo heroes simultanously - great!

First two heroes we find very quickly - one is hiding in a orc's fort (M5,7), the other one hunts for Slava - battle is unavoidable but easy. We should concentrate on healing our troops, keeping enemies on distance and continuously firing with crossbowmen. Two more enemies eliminated.

Third hero is Valeska - inquisitor we met at the beginning of a quest. She'll run into the orc's castle (M5,8). Fight with her is a little troublesome (we should send to the gate not only pretorians but myrmidons also - rest of an army will be a backup), but we win it for sure. After battle we'll have a choice - kill inquisitor or exile her. However, it's mission from tutorial so only the second option is active for us.

Slava and his charisma - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSlava and his charisma

After fight a quest is completed and we obtain reward and 100 tears reputation points.

Main quest: Expand your territory

Goals: taking control over wood, stone and crystal mines

Reward: 5 woods, stones and crystals

Fort is an essential thing - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFort is an essential thing

First mine (stone) is nearby our castle (M5,2) - guarded by small crossbows team. Next beds are on the south, but they belong to the enemy - you have to conquer enemy's fort to take them over (Look at quest Wolves at the Barndoor; M5,4).

Main quest: Improve the Mausoleum

Goals: build basis fortifications, town council and special building

Reward: 3000 gold

We'll get this quest moving south from our city. To complete it, we have to fortificate our castle - it's good to do it after building structures in which we can recruit units (we need to use a marketplace, to gain enough recourses).

Working in progress - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWorking in progressLook how cool my walls are! - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughLook how cool my walls are!

When we finish it, gate at the south (M5,3) get open. In this moment we should build city council - this structure is very expensive, so it's worth to go through this gate and collect some resources.

Everybody enjoyed our new city walls - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEverybody enjoyed our new city walls

Our next goal is to build an unique structure - it also exacts lot of resources, so look on the south of a land. When we build it, the quest is done.

Main quest: A Restless Griffin

Goals: find Ishtvan's tomb, defeating him and rebuilding his residence

Reward: Purse of endless gold (500 gold per turn)

We'll get this quest moving south from our city. We have to find Ishtvan and his castle - that's why we move into undead's territory (entrance is on the north from the western gate).

As it quickly turns out, situation is out of control - Ishtvan attacks everyone who trespasses his land. There is no other way - we have to eliminate him. During this battle focus on offensive - enemy will continuously shooting, so we have to get into his castle rapidly. That's why is worth to send myrmidons and pretorians under the gates, and crossbowmen aim into foe's skeletons. We have to remember that our maidens can not only heal but also damage enemy's troops - it could be a key to win.

After battle and conquering a city (M5,10), we convert it into Haven. When we did, the quest is completed, and we achieve new task (if we finished Wolves of the Barndoor) - Slava's Promise.

Main quest: Slava's Promise

Attention! This task is available only after finishing a Wolves of the Barndoor and Restless Griffin!

Goals: defeating Gerhart

Reward: 5000 XP

Our task is conquering an enemy's city (M5,13) - it's located on the far west of a land, on a seacoast. We should hurry - opponent will send a quite strong armies against us. What's interesting - they come from nowhere, for every turn or two we have to be prepared for new attack. That's why we should end this war quickly.

Our enemy has such a nice castle - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOur enemy has such a nice castleBut defeating him is a piece of cake - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughBut defeating him is a piece of cake

Gerhart's city is guarded by typical Haven's units - pretorians, crossbowmen and maidens. We'll probably have similar troops, but larger (we have two cities, when our foe only one). But if we can't defeat him, we can occupy his creatures residence (M6,14) with one of our additional hero (til he stays near to residence, it's our). With proper amount of soldiers, defeating Gerhart should be easy.

Tutorial ends with deus ex machina - 2nd mission - Emperors Will - Campaign - prologue - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughTutorial ends with deus ex machina

After this quest tutorial is over - it's worth to act like treasure searchers (Look at: Others - Treasure Island).

Collateral quest: Hostage pup

Goals: conquering orc's dwelling

Reward: 1500 XP

This quest we get from an orc, we can meet just outside the western gate (M5,6). Barbarians prison a hostage - kin of our main enemy. We chose tears path (+50 to tears points; blood path is blocked) and negotiate with orcs. They ask for conquering their dwelling on the northern west.

On a undeads territory, on the northern end of it, there is a teleport guarded by group of liches (M5,11). If we go through it, we'll get on the treasure island - it's worth to catch on because of few useful items.

Proper development of a city is a key to win - like in previous parts, it is in Heroes VI too. No hero can defeats an enemy without sufficient army - this simple rule is a base of our cities progress. In this part castle's development is even more important - mainly because of common pool of unites and existing a control zones - if we lose a city, we lose it with all nearest mines.

How full developed city looks like - Capitol - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHow full developed city looks like

So, one obvious thing comes to head - you should think carefully about evolution of your cities. In next paragraphs I'll explain how to manage them in a way, which ensure a success.

Capitol

Capitol, our first residence, has to be everything. With one city we can't afford to specialise it: if we start investing into army, we'll quickly bankrupt, but if we overreact with economy, our enemies smash us. That's why, the best way seems to be a balanced development - little of everything, modified to the current situation.

Its always worth to take control over dwellings - they give us additional troops - Capitol - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt's always worth to take control over dwellings - they give us additional troops

Well, usual on the beginning is good to make one building to recruit creatures - to strengthen our conquering mines hero. In a second turn it's worth to invest into Town Hall - we doubled our gold income. Further progress depends on situation - if we easily get next mines and we have a lot of stones and wood, we should build a City Hall. It gives us 2000 gold per turn, but it's expensive - 5000 gold, 5 stones, 5 wood. So if we haven't bother about low money level and we don't have much other resources, we should build another recruiting structures. I recommend especially healing unites (if we don't have ones) - they give large advantage at the beginning of a game.

Full viewed capitol - Capitol - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFull viewed capitol

If we control our heroes properly (look at - Exploration) we should have sawmill and a stone mine at the fourth turn (and with a little amount of luck also crystal mine). Thanks to that we can start think about more further development of our civilization - we should summarize available resources, expected income and treasures we're gonna collect in short time. The most important thing isn't (surprisingly?) to build a structure in every turn - far more important is to build city walls (basic fortification) at seventh day. Thanks to that, our population increase, and game becomes much easier. Of course we have to build structures for our creatures first.

So what we should build between third and a seventh turn? Choice depends on many various things, but mainly it's all about our resources - we have to have them enough to build city walls. Surprisingly, marketplace very rarely helps with lack of resources - to build it we have to pay 2 wood and 2 stones, which is quite lot in few first turns - exception is situation when we have too many crystals, then it's worth to trade.

Develop level of a city is seen at journey map - Capitol - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDevelop level of a city is seen at journey map

This one has a city walls but without guard towers

On the contrary to the previous Heroes, it's not worth to buy a second hero - it's too expensive and all mines and resources in our control zone can be easily collected by one character in less than a week. That's why I dissuade building a tavern.

So, we know what isn't pay off - it's worth to mention on what we should spent our resources. Usually recruiting buildings are good choice (but not upgraded versions!), but not always. About detailed development plan of races I'll write in other guides, dedicated to them. But I mention only about one thing - investing into special city's building (those in a right bottom corner of the building panel) is a waste of resources - they don't give any special things and are very expensive.

Castle conquered - we can move to on the open sea - Capitol - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughCastle conquered - we can move to on the open sea

After a first week we should have a powerful enough hero with nice army - it's the best moment to go outside our control zone (if we feel strong enough). New lands mean new cities - you'll read about them on next pages.

This is a name I gave to the castles outside the most dangerous area near to our opponents. Usually those are cities, which we conquer just after moving out from our control zone - so located near to our capitol. Theirs development should be resultant of ours capitol progress and border cities.

Dwelling - essential element of our army - Internal cities - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDwelling - essential element of our army

Firstly, we have to invest in economy - Town Hall and City Hall let us to make a fast jump. Then it's worth to start constructing recruiting buildings - new cities have to have a priority. Why? It's easy to explain - on this stage of the game, all structures in the capitol will be very expensive (those should be elite or upgraded units), and in a freshly conquered city rather cheap. It's ideal method to flow an enemy with hordes of units - even if he'll have few griffins or lamasu, we'll have hundreds crossbowmen against it? Our number advantage quickly shows who is a master - few powerful creatures won't handle this.

Forts are less useful than cities, but its also worth to control them - Internal cities - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughForts are less useful than cities, but it's also worth to control them

When in both cities we'll have structures to at least forth level of creatures (don't forget about walls!), we'll build portals. They let to move our heroes freely, so we'll be able to flick through our troops quickly to the battlefield. After that we should spent all resources to the elite unites - those are expensive, but very useful during more difficult fights. Building a marketplace is worth considering - it asserts faster progress with relatively low price. Remember about one thing - the more marketplaces you have, the cheaper resources are.

On the periphery of our empire, in some time will be a cities with very changeable status - sieged, converted, lost and regained Those ones we should treat with special care - they'll be our first defend line and also fortificated war bases.

Border cities we can divide on to two categories: those, we gonna lose immediately and those we have a chance to keep. In first case, when we see arriving hordes of enemies, and we have little army, we should run away - but first convert a city; it's not very expensive, but it slows enemy's development in this city for a turn.

Defence is very important on the borderlands - Border cities - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDefence is very important on the borderlands

If we'd like to keep a city, we have to take a look to its infrastructure - if it have few recruiting buildings, we should convert it ASAP (look at chapter: Converting). If an enemy is close and a city is weak, we should think about city walls (in the worst case - about retreating).

But if our castle isn't in danger for a while, we should build dwellings (like in internal cities) and portal - in that way we'll regain loses rapidly and safe the front.

Every fort, city and dwelling we can convert to our race's type. Just click a structure and convert it. Change of a fort always costs the same - 1500 gold, 5 stones, 5 woods (dwelling is 500 gold cheaper) and price of city's convert depends from its development level. The more advanced castle, the more expensive it'll be - but it's in any case very worthwhile investment.

One click from hell to heaven - Converting - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOne click from hell to heaven

Advantages of converting are quite big - especially with cities. Those are changed completely, so every building (without special ones) changes. So, our new-conquered city is a clone of those developed during the game. For example, if we convert a city with buildings on the seventh level (for example with cyclops), we'll get same leveled structures but with unites typical for our fraction (angels, devils etc.).

It's similar with dwellings - they give us a little of army every week. Of course, army's race depends from the type of dwelling - Inferno's type gives demons and Necropolis let us recruit undeads. Character of the structure we can change freely for 1000 gold , 5 stones and 5 woods.

We have to convert every dwelling - itll be very helpful - Converting - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe have to convert every dwelling - it'll be very helpful

But totally non worthwhile is converting of forts - you gain nothing at all. Forts don't generate any units (you can only summon them from dwellings), and it's only a defence building, so there's no meaning in converting it. Even if we'll have Haven's fort, and Inferno's dwelling, we don't have any problems with recruiting demons (even if we are playing barbarians).

Due to converting it's important that we can change a structure only in one way - to our own race's type. So if we are playing as Haven, we can change enemy's cities only into Haven's - there is no other choice. Remember also that not recruited units are gone during convertion - so if we don't buy skeletons from Necropolis before change, we lose them irrevocably.

Portal system is one of the biggest change in Heroes VI - idea of rapidly moving heroes completely changes all game up down. The main difference is, that we don't have to care about transporting our army from city to city - those have common pool of unites (look at: Common pool of unites) and heroes also can move quickly like a lighting.

No, not those portals - we build our owns in castles - Portals - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNo, not those portals - we build our owns in castles

How it works? Very easy. Let say, that we have a portal in our capitol. If we have only its basic version, our hero can move to the any other our city (it hasn't has its own teleport!) with special spell (basic town portal - 10 mana and 15 movement points). Building a second type of portal is also gut idea - if we make it, all of our heroes get spell improved town portal (20 mana and movement points), which allows on quick teleportation to the closest city with this structure.

Our heroes can uses portals thanks to theirs spellbooks - Portals - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOur heroes can uses portals thanks to theirs spellbooks

A basic difference between those two spells is that during using first we have to be in a city (but we can choose freely our destination point), and second allows us to move from random place on the map but to the closest castle.

In Heroes VI we have many various units - every has its own set of statistics and skills. Proper chose of your troops and wary using it is a half of the success - so it's worth to spent few paragraphs for types of recruiting our army.

A City - Cities and forts - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughA City

On the contrary to the previous parts, we can recruit units only in two places - cities and forts. In the second case, to have new troops, we have to control dwellings near to the fort - after that we'll be able to recruit an army. You can't take creatures from the dwelling, without the fort.

Fort. - Cities and forts - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFort.

Amount of creatures form dwellings regain once per week and pull together; it also counts into common pool of unites (look at the next chapter).

Dwelling. - Cities and forts - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDwelling.

In cities it's get little more complicated - number and quality of our armies depends from our city walls level (bigger walls, more units), from dwellings (increase population) and, of course, from built structures. It's worth mention, that's usually better to first build all 1-6 level structures for unites and then upgrade them. It's all about economy - if we create upgraded creature, we won't have enough resources for higher level recruiting building. In Heroes VI quantity is more important than quality - with horde of not-upgraded unites, we'll smash an enemy having group of elite ones.

The very important thing is common unit pool. Our every city produce some number of creatures - those pull together with others. So, if city A and city B provide 2 angels every, so we'll be able to recruit 4 such units per week (2+2=4). Of course after buying four winged guys, the pool get zeroed, and we won't recruit any of them til the next population - so we have to think carefully about decisions.

As you can see, our armies grow large very fast - Common unit pool - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAs you can see, our armies grow large very fast

Another curious thing is fact, that individual troops do not have to be identical - you can mix them. So, in other words, if we have pretorians in one city (upgraded unit) guardsmen in the second (basic version of the same type of unit), common pool of units is still working - but we can recruit only one type of creatures. It doesn't match in case of troops from different cities - we won't change skeleton into orc.

All this army disappear during convertion - Common unit pool - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAll this army disappear during convertion

Dwellings provide army to forts and cities, in correlation with control zone on which they are. Dwellings have three types -with basic, elite or championship units, what is linked to their development level.

Complete list with all unites, their abilities and usefulness on the battlefield, you'll find in race guides.

On the contrary to the previous parts, in Heroes VI we have only four resources - gold, woods, stones and crystals. We collect them during travelling - they often lay somewhere and just waits for us. It especially worth to check fireplaces - it usually provides piece of gold and random resource.

Resources are usually guarded - Basics - Resources - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughResources are usually guarded

Second way of getting resources are mines and sawmills - we conquer them defeating guards and taking control over them. All resources are important, but you can see easily that crystals are hardly useful at the beginning (they are used mostly in more sophisticated buildings, and recruiting 7th level of units).

There is one old dwarf song Gold, gold, gold - nice, isnt it? - Basics - Resources - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThere is one old dwarf song" Gold, gold, gold" - nice, isnt' it?

We can gain gold not only from the mines and collecting them from a map, but also thanks to treasure chests. When we find one, we always have to decide - we'd prefer few thousands coins or development of a hero? The second one is much more worthwhile - experienced hero is much more precious than any amount of gold.

All map is divided on control zones - those are internal borders in Ashan. Theirs range is showed on minimap (small button at right) and on main game area. Strong guards stand at the borders usually - they are between some kind of gateways, which shows belonging to one race (look at the picture below).

Orcs are good guards. Those stands on the border between blue and green - Control zones - Resources - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOrcs are good guards. Those stands on the border between blue and green

All zones control philosophy means that enemy hero can't takes permanently our mines - but if we conquer our city, he'll get with all zone and mines inside it. It changes type of gaming we know from previous Heroes - moving on to enemy's territory without strong army are senseless.

Thats how borders of individual races look like - Control zones - Resources - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThat's how borders of individual races look like

What's interesting - we can possess enemy's dwellings and mines for a while. You just need to take control over one's and leave your hero there - thanks to that, opponent won't use it. But if we move, he'll regain them automatically.

About sabotaging mines you can read below.

A mine after sabotage - Looting and sabotaging - Resources - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughA mine after sabotage

Sabotaging of mines stops it for a week - for seven days enemy won't get any profit from attacked object. To make it, we have to move our hero to the mine and use proper ability - remember, that using it drain all hero's movement points. Enemy can repair mine with a hero, but it also takes all move he has.

I can write, that sabotage isn't too profitable. Firstly, it's advanced ability which requires experienced hero, who for sure has other, more interesting things to do. Secondly, it takes all movement points - which equals to eliminate hero from one turn. So it is not cost-effective, especially that you can use it ability only once per week.

Gold rush inside sabotaged mine - Looting and sabotaging - Resources - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughGold rush inside sabotaged mine

Looting is more arrogant type of sabotage - you snaffle enemy's profits from a mine. Hero come up to the mine and sacrifices all movement points, what gives him three-day profit from an object. Enemy doesn't get nothing from it. Unfortunately, from the same reasons like sabotaging, looting isn't the best tactic to conquer the world.

Getting know a structure of the map, placement of resources, monsters, castles and wise use of our knowledge is very important in that game. During Ashan's explorations we'll visit many mysterious locations, move through a snow, going through a jungle and teleport with portals. You can read further how to do it in possible quickest way.

Roads give a small bonus to movement - Terrain - Exploration - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughRoads give a small bonus to movement

In previous parts, hero's movement points depended mostly from a terrain - swamps slowed him much, but on the roads he was fast as a wind. In Heroes VI those differences are smaller - travelling through difficult terrain requires little more movement points and roads give only 25% bonus. However, it's worth to be in touch with roads - they usually lead to castles or other important objects. Yet, you shouldn't invest in logistics, which increases hero's range only about 3 points - we won't see a difference.

Next curious thing is fact that you don't need to sacrifice all movement points for going on/off from a boat - thanks to that things get really faster. What is more - sailing uses same amount of movement points like travelling by foot, and we can doubled it by seizing lighthouse. Sea movement is more worthwhile now.

Noticed that all, we can start exploring a map. During that, quite useful observatories are - they discover large area of land, thereupon we should find them very fast. After we get familiar with localisation of mines, treasures and monsters, we should start acting. Firstly, we need to look after sawmills and stone mines - of course with collecting all treasures along our path. It's important to not moving back anywhere - it's awful waste of time and movement points. Because of that you should schedule your exploration, including all battles, mines, army supplies etc. As control zones are not big, it isn't difficult usually at the beginning of the game, when random component (other players) is not that dangerous.

Observatories are hardly to skip - Order of terrains explorating - Exploration - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughObservatories are hardly to skip

When we control all mines inside zone control, we have to arm ourselves and try to conquer dwellings (if they are near). If there are no dwellings, and we have nice army (usually at the beginning of the second week) we can think about moving to another zone - we'll have to defeat border guards. After coming up onto new terrain we make again the same: observatory, mines, dwellings and then cities and forts. If this land is in a hand of enemy, we shouldn't waste time and (if our army is strong enough) attack a city, which is usually in the middle of the zone. After conquering it, all mines and dwellings inside zone will be ours.

During our journey we'll visit many of different places - mines, portals, observatories, statues, dwellings, obelisks and shrines. Below you can find full described list of those objects.

Title oblige - heroes were very important in every Heroes. Their development, abilities and armies are those factors, about you should care in the first place. In the sixth part of cycle they are even more precious - they are in the middle of the game. Only thanks to them we can collect objects on the world map, win an epic battles and explore lands - so they're unremarkable.

What is a canon for the cycle and fantasy we recruit heroes in taverns, which we can build in our cities. What is curious, we have a full choice from the beginning - we can choose from all heroes and hire anyone of them. I can advise recruiting hero from our race - his skills probably harmonise with our dynasty philosophy.

Heroes at the gates! - Recrutation, retreat, death - Heroes - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHeroes at the gates!

Heroes will be used not only to exploration but also to the battles. During their progress they can use special abilities and spells , or do a lethal hits - it depends from theirs development. What's important, heroes are mostly immortal - if they die, you will be able to hire them in the next day in a tavern (but it's rather expensive). So if we are sure that we'll have enough money, we can surrender options of retreating from a battlefield. But if we don't hire such hero, he'll be available for our enemies too. Hero's cost depends from his level and number of heroes we have.

It's worth to explain difference between retreat and surrender: in the first case we lose greater part of our troops, and in the second one we keep all our army by paying a ransom to our enemy.

Every heroes in the game has a set of statistics - those we can divide into Might, Magic and others. Warriors mostly concentrate on the Might and wizards on Magic - during advancement they usually get bonuses to their prefer attribute.

Attributes have large meaning in the game - they decide about real power of hero on the battlefield. So we will look at them little more carefully.

Heroes get experience during their journeys - during battles, thanks to the treasure boxes and special objects. That's how they leveled up, which let him to buy new abilities - and those are a gradient of their quality. In the sixth part of cycle you ascertain the spell by hero's progress and choosing them like an ability, not from the magic guild (like in previous games). So wizards can chose their favourite school of magic, specialize in it, and become more and more powerful support to their army.

Most of warriors abilities mainly strengthen an army in common - increasing morale, luck, health points or even an attack. Additional differentiation is a way how heroes get attribute points - during leveling warriors will get (about) twice time more bonus to Might statistics and mages can count on additional points to Magic. Particular ration of points depends from hero's race.

Heros attributes are right above their silhouette - Heroes classes, paths of blood or tears - Heroes - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHero's attributes are right above their silhouette

Warrior and wizard are to most common classes, available for all races. What's curious, barbarian fighter will not have the same statistics as his undead analog. Heroes get even more different at the later part of the game when we have to choose a path (reputation) of blood or tears. This decision change not only hero's appearance but also his characteristic - pacifist will rather buff his army where blood-thirsty monster will mostly plague enemies. Choice is ours - during the game we have to make decisions, which will affect our heroes character.

For example, if neutral army which we attacked, like to surrender, and we let them do it, we gain 10 tears reputation points; chasing losers gives us 8 blood reputation points. It's not the only way to obtain this "resources" - greater part of hero's abilities is assigns to one of them and e.g. using spell from blood sphere gives us a little more its reputation. Of course collateral missions and buildings also have sth to our reputation and even in greater level, than any other activity.

Abilities and spells are usually assigned to one of path (look at the frame). - Heroes classes, paths of blood or tears - Heroes - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAbilities and spells are usually assigned to one of path (look at the frame).

What is important, is fact that tear and blood points don't neutralize each other. It means that we collect both type of points and there is no way to zeroed them. So we can be guts-eating barbarian with a quite lot amount of tears reputation points. Choosing one kind of reputation isn't obvious.

About tears and blood paths for every hero you can read in guides about individual races.

Warriors and wizards have very similar development trees - but differences are rather big. Depends from class, heroes will have access to expanded or shortened set of abilities - mages specialize in Magic and warriors in Might. Of course there is nothing wrong with magic warrior - but you have to remember that the most powerful spells will be unavailable for him (the other way round with a wizard).

This is a summary of all Might abilities with description. Numbers are approximate (here I put them for typical 15 leveled hero).

Many players say that battles are a core of Heroes - effective, tactical and very interesting fights from years attract millions of players from the whole world. From the result of individual battles often world's or campaign's destiny depends - understanding of war rules is a obligatory element of our plan - conquering Ashan.

Battles we can divide on those on played on open battlefield and sieges. But before detailed description of them, I'll say few words about common nature of battles.

Dragon get enlighted - Open battlefields - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDragon get enlighted

Battles are turnbased - like in chess, players move units one after other. Units sequence is showed on the bottom panel - but you have to remember that there are some abilities, which can change this order (like freezing). About moving sequence decides an initiative.

On the contrary to King's Bounty, in Heroes VI we can't use combined actions - so you can't first move an archer and then command him to shot. Our decisions are definitive, so we have to consider them carefully.

Greater part of unites have some active abilities, which can affect the battle - individual skills we use by clicking at the icon in the left bottom corner of the screen. You have to remember that abilities consume all unit's turn (unless description says other thing). Also hero take part in battle - he can strikes enemies or use more or less deathly spells.

Despite logic, its worth to invest in weaker troops - Open battlefields - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDespite logic, it's worth to invest in weaker troops

At the beginning usually is better to have damaging spells and at the further stages of game (when armies are really huge) - those buffing or cursing. It's iron rule - so high leveled wizards should think about re-specialization - fireballs are nothing against thousands soldiers.

Open battlefields

Most battles we will have on open battlefields - and those are very different, depends from the surrounding on which we are fighting. Regardless of place (desert, frozen lakes, meadows) our tactic should depends form our and enemy's army.

In Heroes VI objects on battlefield can be treated like a cover - but it doesn't mean much, because units have better things to do than hiding behind rocks. Additional minus of obstacles are their vulnerability - so they defending values are little. That's why we shouldn't bother about them, considering only theirs location - every stone and tree can be passed round.

The most important part of a battle happens in the middle. - Open battlefields - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe most important part of a battle happens in the middle.

So how conduct a battle? Wisely. You shouldn't charge mindlessly forward - it usually ends with our units death. Much better is defensive tactic - we should often use 'wait' and 'defend' commands. In our army we should have healers (if our race has them) and at least one troop of shooters- while the rest of our army will be waiting, they will cause casualties. On the contrary to the previous parts, in Heroes VI most shooters hasn't any penalties because of distance - damages they cause doesn't depend from how far enemy's units are.

So, if you know about healers and shooters you can ask - what the rest of army does? It's simple answer - defend those units. Of course, standing and defending isn't always the best tactic - sometimes is better to move and fight in the middle of battlefield. But crucial thing is not letting an enemy to reach our back - shooters and healers. Such situation ends rather very bad for us.

Sometimes larger charge is worth considering - every fraction has an unit perfect to that task. Haven has gryffin - creature with large movement and good attack - its role should be attacking shooters and healers behind a line. Flying on the second end of battlefield we'll weaken enemy - you have to remember that most shooters can't shot when there is an enemy unit nearby. So, even if we don't kill many units with our gryffin, lamasu or harpy, it's worth to even stand near to shooters - we get rid of them for few turns.

Angels revenge - Open battlefields - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAngel's revenge

Summing up - we should steer battle on our rules. The best tactic is, usually, stopping enemy's charge in the middle of battlefield and defeat him with melee units supported by healers and shooters. Good idea is also to jump over the enemy's line and attacks his back - but only if it won't weaken our forces in the center of a battle.

This scheme is very easy and rather universal - but sometimes it won't work. For example battles when we don't have healers and/or shooters and enemy has lot of them. In such case we should charge quickly to the opposite side of a battlefield (some hero's abilities are very useful then). In that situation you can put the slowest unit in the middle of battlefield to attend opposite army connected with fast raid to enemy's shooters. Of course, you have to remember about unit's movement range - it takes much more time for guardsman than a gryffin - that's why first should be in the middle, and the second behind enemy's line.

If we are defenders our goals won't be very different from tactic we use on the open battlefield - but we should act even more defensive. Usually is good to start from putting shooter on the tower which is in the middle of our fortress (only if we have built walls). Next we should secure all non-melee troops by surrounding them with other units. There is not many of area attacks, so we shouldn't worry about what happened after gathering our forces in one place.

Fire, fire, fire! - Sieges - defending - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFire, fire, fire!

Very important thing is leaving the toughest unit (or better - units) near to the gate - usually this place enemy attacks with all power. His behavior is logical - walls are very resistant, and destroying them take much time for an enemy's catapult. Even when the fortifications get crushed, enemy's charge stop for at least a turn in a moat - that's why very rarely castle can be conquered in other way than through the gates.

So we should keep gates as long as possible, or at least stop enemy in entrance. If attacker has flying units, he'll probably try to move over our walls and attack our shooters - that's why we should surround them by own units. But when enemy however fly into our castle, it will be sure death - our troops eliminate flying creatures easily.

Heros strikes and abilities can win a battle for us - Sieges - defending - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHero's strikes and abilities can win a battle for us

But what to do if we made a mistake, and there are no shooters in our castle? If enemy doesn't have strong shooters, we should keep our tactic and move out from a castle only after eliminating his melee units. But if there are shooters, we are in troubles. They lose lot of their power because of walls, but still it's dangerous. In that situation the best way is defending in safe places and, if there shows any opportunity, attacks enemy's shooters.

If we are attackers, we should focus on destroying a gate - it's on our way to victory. To do this, we may use small melee troops - they should come up to gate quickly and destroy it. Sending elite unit is bad idea, because they occupy 4 squares - then rushing into castle is more problematic because our troop will block a path. Indepedently from number of units, damages caused to gate are always the same - so it's enough to send weakest units (but big units cause doubled damages). Good idea is also putting there unit with highest morale - it increases chances for another hit.

The faster we destroy a gate, the better. - Sieges - attack - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe faster we destroy a gate, the better.

We rather shouldn't sent our troops on the sides of fortress - units get into moat which decreases their defence. The only one exception is situation when there is an impasse at the gate - but such cases are rare, especially when we have flying units. When we have flyers, we should fly over walls and attack shooters and healers - those are main problem during sieges.

What else we should think about? Abilities for sure - they can provide our victory. For example, sun rider can move on the battlefield through obstacles like walls - it's worthy to use. Another advantage can be our hero - there is many abilities which curse enemy's shooters and also using spells like erosion and earthquake is worth considering.

Necropolis is fraction which has many years of tradition in Heroes. It's available from the second part of a cycle, and still it's one of most mysterious and ambiguous race we could play with. In sixth part this view get even more complicated - necromancers are not only undeads master, but also a rebels fighting for freedom. Slaved by Wizard of Seven Cities, trying to regain their freedom - demon's invasion is a perfect occasion.

Mages looking for forbidden knowledge, lunatics fascinated with death, fanatics of forgotten goddess - that's what necromancers are. You could think, that they are pure evil, the real curse of Ashan. But why then they're fighting against demons?

Commanding an undead army is a tough task. Soulless creatures will listen only to the most powerful mages and bravest warriors. In this guide you'll find all necessary information about conquering world with Death.

Campaign

Anastasya, the youngest daughter of prince Slava, killed her father. After she was sentenced to death and decapitated, Svetlana, a necromancer, resurrects her. How the time shows, inconspicuous girl will become one of the brightest person in all Ashan.

Main Quest: Inquisitive Girl

Goals: Going on the surface, finding inquisitors

Reward: +2 to magic defence, 15000 XP

When we look around a dungeon, we'll see a group of ghouls, who eagerly join us. Then we should check all corridor - there are few battles and more allies to join us.

Finally we get to the stairs leading on the surface of Ashan (M2,X). There we'll fight with few enemy's troops - there's nothing to worry about. Taking mines have no sense - there are in opponent's control zone, co we won't keep them. That's why we should go among only one possible path and fight, fight, fight.

Its not true, that white people cant jump - 1st mission - In the Wake of Adversality - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt's not true, that white people can't jump

Sooner or later we'll get attacked by inquisition from city on the north (M1,1), which we should conquer as fast as possible and convert ( getting into walls with ghouls supported by skeletons). There is a grave near to the fortress (M1,2), in which inquisitors hide their victims - there is secondary quest, War Spirits, connected with it.

Enemy is powerless - 1st mission - In the Wake of Adversality - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEnemy is powerless

Then we should go west = after series of battles, we'll get to entrance to the undergrounds (it's worth visiting earlier cyclops on the north - they're guarding a powerful artifact, the soul eater; M1,3). When we go into the darkness, we'll have few easy battles with Haven's troops. We'll meet also a ghost (quest: Accidental Victim; M2,2); after dialogue with him, we'll be able to recruit this type of units in our castles.

Even cyclops will fall in front of our power! - 1st mission - In the Wake of Adversality - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEven cyclops will fall in front of our power!We should help our soulmate! - 1st mission - In the Wake of Adversality - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe should help our soulmate!

Moving further we'll reach gryffins (M2,3), and we should go from the path a little - on the north and south there are little caves full of treasures - we should collect them. Later on, we find a portal (M2,X1) with air elementals and piece of precious things. After that we should keep on going east - there we'll find exit from undergrounds (M2,X).

What the heck gryffins are doing in this cave? - 1st mission - In the Wake of Adversality - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhat the heck gryffins are doing in this cave?

Under the sky we'll meet plenty enemies, both living and undead. But finally we get to the inquisition's castle on the hill (M1,4) - if we conquer it, Accidental Victim quest ends and gates to the south (M1,5) open. During battles is good to use ghosts to healing other troops.

Check out this arena, bro! - 1st mission - In the Wake of Adversality - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughCheck out this arena, bro!

Now, our task is defending against inquisition - it's not simple quest. Enemy has two strong heroes, who will attack us - for sure from south and east, where his forts are localized. (M1,6). That's why we should defeat them quickly and build an upgraded town portal in our city - in critic situations it lets us to retreat immediately. One of opponent's hero has a list required in a Kilburn's list quest, which we get from skeletons (M1,7). During battles with heroes we should hold theirs army in the middle of battlefield ( ghouls!) and support them with other units.

Fort number one... - 1st mission - In the Wake of Adversality - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFort number one......and number two - 1st mission - In the Wake of Adversality - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...and number two

After smashing enemy's army we begin a counterattack. Firstly we should move to southern east - there is great opponent's castle(M1,8). When we defeat it, we should recover and prepare to the final encounter. When we find ourselves ready, we can go to the undergrounds (M1,X) and there, moving through hordes of enemies, get to an exit to surface (it's worth to look for powerful, but guarded sword Arachne sword on the east; M2,4). When we see the sun again, we can start a siege (M1,9). Our numerous advantage should be enough to crush enemy - we have few cities, necromancy and healing ghosts. But this battle doesn't finish a quest.

The last one battle of a scenario is really difficult - after moving through the portal (M1,X2) we'll be transported to the darkest inquisition's dungeon (M2,5). There we will have very demanding battle with army of ajglajs. It's very difficult encounter - we have no counterattacks against those creatures and we have to take care about Jorgen (he'll get little damages every turn - if he dies, we lose). But, surprisingly, we should rather provoke our enemy to attack us - only then we'll have any chances. We should heal our (necromancy!) and use wisely spectres ability Wail of Netherworld (spell is more powerful when we cast it on unit surrounded by enemies). In melee fighting of course the most important units are ghouls but don't forget about skeletons power.

When the battle ends, the scenario is over.

Secondary quest: The Choice

Goals: gaining first reputation point (tears or blood)

Reward: +2 to Destiny

This quest practically made itself - we have to collect 1000 reputation points to get a reward. It's not so easy - map doesn't offer many chances to make sth barbarian or heroic. But we should look for an arena (after defeating enemy we gain 25 reputation points; M3,9) and arcane library (M3,20). Little amounts of reputation we also receive by chasing after retreating enemies (or letting them run away) .

Many reputation points we get from the arena. - 1st mission - In the Wake of Adversality - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughMany reputation points we get from the arena.

If we won't collect enough points, we continue this quest in next scenario. There it will be much easier, especially in quest Hidden Fears.

Secondary quest: Ghosts of War

Goals: finding five graves and resurrecting deads

Reward: 10000 XP, amulet of necromancy (increases necromancy points growth about 10%)

This quest get activated when we find first bones (M1,2) - our goal will be discovering another four. Their localization is marked on the map below.

Secondary quest: Accidental Victim

Goals: Saving Elizabeth from inquisition's dungeon

Reward: 7500 XP, bachelor's sandals (+1 movement points on the ground, +1 to Destiny)

Ghosts, we met in undergrounds(M2,2), give us this quest- they'll inform us about tragic lot of Elizabeth, Sandor's mother (Anastasya's brother). To save her, we should conquer inquisition's city on the surface (M1,4). There, in a dungeon, we'll find tortured woman, and quest ends. The encounter is easy - heal your troops and push an enemy.

Secondary quest: Kilburn's list

Goals: finding skeleton's list

Reward: 5000 XP, 50 Skeletal Spearman

We get this from group of skeletons (M1,7), we found nearby the second enemy's city. Undeads were killed by inquisition and want a revenge - only we can make it. Good for us, it isn't difficult - list we are looking for, is in equipment of one of opponent's hero, who'll probably attack us in Inquistion's Hearing quest. When we finish him, we can give document back to skeletons.

Goals: reach Nar-Heresh

Reward: 10000 XP, traveler shoes (+4 movement points on the ground)

Mission is very simple: we can go along only one path, and if we somehow get lost, aunt Sveltana will lead us on good way. Our only goal is to move forward (with few battles meanwhile) til we won't reach a Nar-Heresh (M5,2). But there isn't nice welcome waiting for us - necromancers, keep us for few turns until we would be able to move on.

When we get rid of our annoying family, we'll fight with our mirror reflection - to make it, we have to find Jorgen and ask him to create a teleport to enemy's city (M6,12). There quite serious encounter awaits us - before we step in it, we should visit all graveyards (marked on map M8,1). The most important is eliminating enemy's shooters - they are our biggest problem here. Best way is to use skeletons or ghosts (they can fly over walls). Ghouls should attack gates restlessly - when they crushed it, enemy's fate is done.

After dialogue with Jorgen we'll be teleported to the first island of our consciousness - there we'll fight with Irine (M6,2). We can't avoid it - we have to kill Anastasya's sister. After blooding our hands we should travel to enemy's fortress on the south (M6,3). Of course it's worth to collect resources and artifacts and fight with neutral creatures meanwhile. During battles we should concentrate on eliminating enemy's maidens - they heal allies, what makes them the most important opponent's troop.

Attention! This mission is part of Ghosts world!

Goals: talk with Sandor, Valeska and Kraal

Reward: 9000 XP, +2 to Destiny

Second dream is more challenging - we'll have to talk with three persons from our childhood, and make some connected with them decisions - for every we get 125 points of blood or tears reputation. Our choice will affect further events - we if made "improper" (blood path), in next scenario we won't get a help from Kaspar (18th level!)

We should defeat him easily - focus on shooters and defending of your ghosts and skeletons. After execution, we'll stand against our look-alike - in quest Ghosts World. (Jorgen will teleport us to the enemy's fortress - M6,12).

When we reach a portal (M6,X1), Anastasya starts to mention angel Uriel - in depths of her mind she'll find demons desecrating her lover's shrine. We have to eliminate those monsters - they are on the other side of the portal. Group (M6,10) isn't big, so we should smash them. Main danger pit lords - kill them ASAP, because their special abilities are very annoying. Then get rid of mother breeders - they reproduce themselves very fast, so it's important to eliminate them rapidly.

Main quest: Politics of the Dead

Goals: defeating Miranda and saving Sveltana

Reward: 40000 XP, Magister robe (+4 to magic power, +20 to mana, +2 to mana's regeneration)

We will have a long journey - before we get to the enemy's castle, we'll fight many battles and be attacked by few enemies simultaneously. Considering it, we should expand our kingdom very fast. When we get all mines in our control zone, we have to move south and conquer a fort (M10,2; nearby we obtain a quest Lovebird). When it's done, we have to meet with Ludmila (M10,3) on the southern west. There is a quest connected with her - Revengful chief - which is worth completing.

Poor beginning - 3rd mission - Circumradiant Dawn - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughPoor beginningBut well expand it rapidly - 3rd mission - Circumradiant Dawn - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughBut we'll expand it rapidly

Unfortunately a scenario is a bag of troubles - when we get rid of chief and his orcs, we will be attacked by Inferno from undergrounds. So we should go down to caves (M10,X) and destroy demons (quest Beloved).

Undeads have problem with barbarians - 3rd mission - Circumradiant Dawn - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughUndeads have problem with barbarians...and humans with demons - 3rd mission - Circumradiant Dawn - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...and humans with demons

Of course Miranda will still attacks us - we can expect sea landings. As they are very dangerous we have to counterattack quickly. In a shipyard (M10,5) we can buy a ship, which takes us to enemy's shore. But there is a puzzle: we can land in a middle part of island (M10,6) (what leads us to necromancers lands) or on the south (M10,7) where orcs live. Both decisions has pros and cons : if we attack undeads, barbarians stab a knife in our back. But if we worried about savages, it'll be difficult to stop necromancers.

Savages on the south.. - 3rd mission - Circumradiant Dawn - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSavages on the south.....and Miranda on the north - 3rd mission - Circumradiant Dawn - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...and Miranda on the north

Whatever we do, our main goal will be Miranda's castle (M10,9). Before we rush to it, we should destroy second enemy's city (we obtain a source of supplies; M10,10) and after replenishing losses fight our opponent. She has the same troops like we, but on this stage of game, we should overcome her with numbers (we have more castles). The easiest tactic will be shoot them down over walls - it's perfect plan. When we kill Miranda, scenario ends and we move to the last one.

Secondary quest: Lovebird

Goals: defeating demons

Reward: 50000 XP, 10000 gold, Magister Codex (+3 to magic power, +3 to Destiny)

Uriel gives us this quest, right after leaving our first control zone. Winged man asks to eliminate demons in the undergrounds. As we don't do that, demons will surely annoy us, we should make it.

Along the way we should take control over at least one enemy fort. - 3rd mission - Circumradiant Dawn - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAlong the way we should take control over at least one enemy fort.Then we can start the siege. - 3rd mission - Circumradiant Dawn - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThen we can start the siege.

Entrance to the cave is on the south, nearby a fort (M10,X). After going into darkness, we should keep moving south - eventually we reach crossroads (M11,1). To eliminate demons, we should go west - there is theirs residence (on the north we obtain quest: Winged lions of Sarkomand).

Here is our enemy - 3rd mission - Circumradiant Dawn - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHere is our enemy

Our goal is not only conquering enemy's castle (M11,4), but also defeating all his heroes. So we have to be careful and kill all of them - only then we can be rewarded. During battles we should focus on enemy's shooter, simultaneously healing ours - that's the easiest way to win.

Secondary quest: Revengful chief

Goals: defeating chief of orcs

Reward: 30000 XP, 15 vampires, bachelor's coat (+2 to magic power)

Quest activates when we reach Ludmila's territory (M10,3). Master of vampires acknowledges us and asks to eliminate orcs. Those are located somewhere on southern east (M10,4) - we can get to them moving south (battle with powerful guards awaits) or east (where the fort is). Whatever we choose, our goal is chief and his fortress. Barbarians collected quite big army and defeating them will be for sure troublesome (we have to remember about ours forts and cities). So we have to heal our troops constantly and defence, defence, defence - if enemy reaches ghosts and skeletons, we are done. Ghouls will be very good cover - we should move them to the middle of battlefield ASAP.

When we slash savages, we'll have to decide about chief's future - we can let his soul fly away or change him into ghoul. This decision changes only our reputation, no storyline consequences.

Now we have to inform Ludmila about our victory (M10,3) - she joins us as a individual hero. And from now on we'll be able to recruit vampires.

Secondary quest: Winged Lions of Sarkomand

Goals: finding Staff of Sandro

Reward: 30000 XP, 12 lamasu

We get this mission from archlich in undergrounds (M11,2) - he studied lamasu from years and eventually he re-create them. Unfortunately, demons showed up and blocked his laboratory. So we should get rid of monsters and reach Staff of Sandro (M11,3)- artifact, which archlich needs to further researches.

Main quest: Bleeding world

Goals: conquering six cities on the surface

Reward: 40000 XP, archbachelor's crown (+5 magic power, +50 mana, +5 mana regeneration)

This is the most difficult scenario in the game. We will be constantly attacked by an enemy who has numerous and quality advantage, on all fronts. We should have few heroes to defend our borders - Anastasya won't hold all those duties alone.

Fort number one... - 4th mission - The Spiders Stratagem - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFort number one......and number two - 4th mission - The Spiders Stratagem - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...and number two

We should begin expansion from conquering forts on north and west (M14,2) - nearby mines and dwellings improve our developing (lack of crystals could be a problem). Next step is moving further - enemy's residences are on the northern and eastern end of a map (M14,3), so we should go there (but not in both directions at once). On this stage of a game, will be many evasions and tricks of opponent, but we should remember that his heroes aren't as powerful as their cities. So we should leave one hero in a capitol and start attack with second one (supported by third hero) in chosen direction.

After taking a castle well thrown out from Sheoghu. - 4th mission - The Spiders Stratagem - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter taking a castle we'll thrown out from Sheoghu.So we should collect all items earlier - 4th mission - The Spiders Stratagem - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSo we should collect all items earlier

Localization of enemy's fortresses is marked on maps - it's good idea to take over his forts earlier (M14,4). Sooner or later we'll see that enemies are coming not only from cities but also from weird portals (M14,X1) - those lead to Sheogh, where the most powerful castles are. If we feel strong enough, we can go in there - those castles are part of our task. During battles we should especially beware of mothers breeder, pit lords and succubus - those are the most important troops in hell army. To defeat them, we should keep resurrecting our units, support them with proper abilities (life drain is useful) and curse enemy a lot (darkness magic). During assaults we should put on the first line lamasu and vampires; other units as a support. Such tactic should give us a win.

With every conquered underground castle (M15,1) Anastasya get acquainted with Uriel's memories - that's how she will know who force her to kill Slava. When all castles are taken, this mission ends, and next activates - From a heart, from a mind.

Main quest: From a heart, from a mind

Attention! This quest is available after finishing Undead politics!

Goals: reaching portal and defeating Uriel

Reward: 55000XP

Before we fight with an angel, we should armed ourselves seriously - our enemy has huge amount of HP and servants. Luckily, til now we should kill all Inferno's leaders so no one's interrupt us and we have as many time as we want to.

Heaven dance - 4th mission - The Spiders Stratagem - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHeaven danceAnd real Fall. - 4th mission - The Spiders Stratagem - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAnd real Fall.

When we go through the portal (M14,5) we'll faced Uriel. To defeat him we have to not only kill him, but also all his army. This seems rather small - but is very powerful. In battle we should focus on them, not on Uriel himself - killing them quickly decreases Uriel's offensive abilities. As we can have unlimited amount of units, battle is rather easy - we should smash him our number only.

No one will cry - 4th mission - The Spiders Stratagem - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNo one will cry

When Uriel and his soldiers dies, scenario and all campaign ends.

Quest makes himself - if we will play long enough, we should collect required number of units. What is interesting, to this task counts not only skeletons we have in army, but all we recruit(ed) during mission. It makes this quest even easier.

Secondary quest: Tear of Asha

Goals: collecting four parts of moon disk.

Parts we are looking for are scattered through all the land - finding them won't be easy task. Luckily they are all marked on illustrations and map below.

Every game in Might and Magic: Heroes VI is a unique adventure. Even if we're gonna fight only on the one map and making the same decisions, game will look different for each time. This is caused by high randomness - great part of creatures and resources is random. Also enemies behaviors vary. That's why you can't create one general rule for an expansion - there are too many factors.

Nevertheless, you can make a common scheme, which you should follow during game - both in battles and city development. About wars you can read in chapter Battlefield Tactics and about castles - below.

Most Necropolis buildings require big amounts of stones - it's the most important resource for us. Wood and crystals also matter - they let us recruit better units - but we shouldn't care about them that much. As stones have high priority, we should find stone mine ASAP, and then look after sawmill and crystal mine.

Necromancers castles even look scary - City development - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNecromancers castles even look scary

Our develop we should begin with some recruitment building - it's all about our hero has sth to fight with creatures guarding mines. The best choice at start is ruined tower (ghosts) - it's expensive, but healing units are very precious in our army. Then we should construct town hall - it increases our income. Next steps are not so stiff.

If we are lucky and have nice amount of crystals, we should invest in vampire mansion (vampires). Those powerful creatures help us conquer nearest land - but they are quite expensive and not always worthy at this stage. If we are rather poor, we should build city hall ( 2000 gold per turn) and crypt (ghouls) - it lets us have a basic bottom of our empire

Very important is building first walls in city at seventh day - they increase population. Of course, before we do that, we should construct few unit's residences.

When the first week ended, we should keep building. If we don't have a city hall, it's good moment to create it. Then we should concentrate on dwellings (level 1 and 2). The most important are ghouls, vampires and skeletons, liches are also useful. We can wait with lamasu - they are the best during sieges. It's important to not upgrade any dwelling - it'll be a waste of resources, which we would use on another dwellings (in Heroes VI number overcome quality). Also special buildings, heroes hall and marketplace are hardly useful(unless we have lack of money - it gives us 500 gold per turn).

Full development takes time - City development - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFull development takes time

Third week has two priorities: capitol and maximum expand of fortifications. First building will give us 4000 gold per turn, and fortifications let us collect powerful army very fast.

When it's done, we have to do a finishing touch - spider temple (namtaru), plague temple (lamasu) and upgrading of other dwellings. After that, we should start build special constructions - some of them can be quite useful now. If we have more than one city, we should consider creating a system of portals - they let us move between castles quickly.

If a map we are playing is huge and opponent is powerful we can think about heroes hall and its improvement, but it's whim. Finally the proper developed Necropolis is unbeatable - we will smash computer and many of human players. We are master of undeads!

Fate spinners/weavers are one of the most mysterious Ashan creatures - Fate Spinner / Fate Weaver - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Fate spinners/weavers are one of the most mysterious Ashan creatures. They are so much connected with spider god, that they took her form. In more "human" form they are dangerous, but in spider one they show true power.

Thanks strong ranged attack and various offensive abilities, fate spinners and weavers can win battles themselves.

Basics

Commanding undeads is a demanding thing - they require focus and wisely planning. Because of their slowness, they aren't good in rushes - one mistake can be very expensive. That's why, playing this faction, we should be very careful. They specification doesn't end on not having morale and slowness - but they have many shooters. Skeletons, liches and fate spinners/weavers are our artillery which can smash enemy before he gets even closer to us. Unfortunately, those units lose theirs values when enemy come up to melee fight. So keeping opponent on the distant is the most important thing in all our battles.

Melee fighting is the worst thing we can do - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughMelee fighting is the worst thing we can do

It's worth mentioning that undeads are immortal. Proper leaded are very powerful. Healing units, like ghosts, liches and vampires can decide about fate of all campaigns: only thanks to them our army won't decrease after battles. If we have in addition hero with developed necromancy, our army will be invincible.

But let me say it one more time: keeping enemy away from our shooters and skillful healing of our units are a base of our success. Only good leaders can make it - you can read it more about that in further part of this guide.

Battles on the Field

Main dangers during open battles is being surrounded or when enemy reach our shooters. Protection of Skeletons, liches and fate spinners/weavers it's our basic task during battles - although those troops have powerful range attacks, they easily get defeated in melee fighting. That's why we should move wisely vampires, lamasu and ghouls, to make them protect our backs.

Vampires can stand anyone - theyre immortal - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughVampires can stand anyone - they're immortal

Our melee troops we should send into middle of battlefield - they have many defence abilities (look at chapter: Units), thanks to which they'll be perfect blockers. Holding enemy there shouldn't be difficult - both vampires, and ghouls can stand really powerful blows and cause sensible damages. Lamasu also are good blockers, but it's better to make them spread a contagnion - affected enemies will be easier to defeat. You can also harass enemy's shooters - despite low mobility Lamasu can get to them rather quickly.

I should spend few words for ghosts - those, though they can evade blows easily, is better to leave on our backs. Theirs healing abilities will be precious support - without them vampires, lamasu and ghouls will quickly die during fight with greater number of enemies. If we focus on recovering losses, our army get almost immortal - especially when hero will help them with necromancy. Also archliches could be useful - they can drain life from enemies and give it to allies. Such war machine will bring us success - you have to only wait til enemy bleeds out during trials of getting through our blockers.

Sieges

Sieges with undeads are always very similar. Base thing is fire advantage - usually it alone is enough to defeat an enemy. The only one difference is that during defending a castle we should protect gates (best with ghouls and vampires), and during attacking rushing quickly inside a fortress.

Shoot til enemy is moving - quite effective tactic - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughShoot til enemy is moving - quite effective tactic

If we attack, we should move ghouls under gates - it's false attack on which enemy would concentrate. The true charge we should do with vampires and lamasu (optionally ghosts), who can fly over walls. If we concentrate our troops properly in one point (at the one part of fortifications) enemy will be in troubles. Of course we can't forget about shooting them - that's what for are liches, skeletons and fate spinners/weavers in our army. Additionally we should care about healing our units -necromancy, ghosts and archliches abilities should provide us quick success.

If we are defenders, task is even easier - you just need to place skeletons, liches or fate spinners/weavers in tower and shoot, shoot, shoot. Advantage in ranged attack should provide us a victory - but sometimes enemy is clever and tries to get into a castle. That's why we should secure our gates - probably there will be main attack done. But if opponent decides to fly over our walls, we shouldn't bother that - an attacker will be surely smashed by our units. It's very important to not move outside our walls.

Every hero in Might and Magic: Heroes VI can develop in two ways - tears or blood path. It depends only from our choices during game, which type of reputation hero will gain - this decision affects not only his appearance but also his special abilities, which have quite big meaning for a player. So, before we decide for any of them, we should consider it carefully.

Below you can find tables describing heroes who had chosen their destiny. Abilities are gained during hero's development of course.

Necropolis heroes are quite different from other ones. As theirs armies has no morale, all abilities and spells affecting it are worthless. Most of undeads is also rather resistant to physical attacks - so we don't have to care about their defence. So what should we choose? All kind of curses of course!

Darkness magic is the best possible choice. If we decided to chose magic hero, we have a big advantage from the beginning. Favourite necromancers spells decreases enemy's statistics or weaken them in other way. Spells like weakness, agony or despair will highly hurt our opponent, but terror, Puppet Master and life drain let feel us true power of undeads. If opponent's hero is a wizard, we'll disarm him with purge - one of the most powerful spell in the game.

Do we need something more? - Abilities - Heroes - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDo we need something more?

Of course necromancers shouldn't forget about prime magic - there are abilities highly increasing hero's power. Arcane ward, Arcane Exalation and magic synergy are basis but on higher levels we can look also on time stasis, dispel magic and haste - which let us control all battlefield.

When we get those abilities we can consider some might abilities. The most useful will be for sure defender, destiny's chosen, assailant and ambush (firstly!), but also counterstrike or resillence could be good. Despite, those are whims - magic sphere is more worthy, so we should buy rather spelling heroes.

List of all spells and abilities you will find in main guide.

Haven is a well known faction to all Heroes fans - human empire is in this series from the beginning, though it was changing many times. What firstly was just a mirror reflection of medieval world, has changed into a place from fantasy books. Griffons, spirits and angels appeared - humanity wasn't alone in battle with forces of darkness.

In Heroes VI Haven is even more fantastic - besides sentinels and crossbowmen, there are units born from Elrath's light - dragon god of light. Only thanks to his grace, mankind can stand powerful enemies.

Human kingdom is falling - forces of Light were never as needed in Empire as now. Every commander has to be acquainted with many rules and connections which he/she will follow during his missions. In this guide you can find everything what is required to manage a Haven.

Campaign

When the prince Slava was killed by his own daughter, reigns in Griffon duchy took Anton - his oldest son. This young, ambitious man many challenges await - only with player's help he will accomplish them.

Nameless, orcs, intriguers and civil war - aren't it too much for flimsy Anton?

Main quest: The Wild Hunt

Goals: reach orcs and conquering both their cities

Reward: 10000 XP

We start the game on the north (M1,1). We should take nearest mines ASAP, and collect resources - they'll be useful during castle's development. Greatest part of creatures here won't fight with us - they'll join our army instead. Benefit it - soon we'll meet less peaceful enemies.

After getting sawmill (M3,4) and dwelling (M3,2) we should move east. There, near to the bridge (M1,2), quest get activated( Egg Stealers). When we go through the precipice, we find first group of orcs - simultaneously position of enemy's cities will be discover. We have to conquer both of them.

The easiest way to victory is quickly moving east - there we'll find orc's fort (M1,3), and a city (M1,4). During this encounters we should bet on defensive - shoot them with crossbowmen, defend with sentinels and regain losses using sisters. Then we should armed seriously and replenish our troops - second fight with barbarians won't be that easy.

On the southern-west of a map we'll find second enemy's city (M1,5) - to reach it we'll have to go through a jungle and conquer two forts (M1,6). But before we start a siege, it's worth to wait til the week end and recruit additional units. Just after we defeat orcs, and the mission ends, another quest activates (Religious Disputes) and we get a stab in a back - it's good to prepare for it.

To complete a mission, we need to take over savage's village (M1,5) -it's well guarded but if we cared about our army properly, it should fall rapidly. Siege scheme is the same like shown in chapter Tactics on the battlefield.

Main quest: Religious Disputes

Attention! This mission gfratricidalt activated after finishing The Wild Hunt!

Goals: defeating a baron

Reward: 30000 XP

Just after smashing orcs, we'll get attacked by rebellious baron form the southern west - two gates leading to his kingdom get opened (M1,7). We should expect attacks on two fronts: northern and western (where the barbarians villages were). It'll be good to arm additionally and with few heroes get rid of the enemy. He has the same types of units as we - so the most important thing is quickly eliminating his sisters (so we won't resurrect his troops) connected with effective protection of ours.

Enemy will attack us right after gates opening - 1st mission - Something is Rotten - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEnemy will attack us right after gates openingWe should make a counterstrike immediately - 1st mission - Something is Rotten - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe should make a counterstrike immediately

When enemy's heroes will die, there will be a moment for a counterstrike. It's best to make it from two sides - our opponent has some numerous advantage, he possesses three cities and a fort (M1,8). Attack from wings should decrease his defensive potential.

Rebels residence - 1st mission - Something is Rotten - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughRebel's residence

Our task is to defeat a baron - he is in his main castle on the east (M1,9). To rush on the gate we should sent sentinels, supported by crossbowmen fire and sisters healing. Victory in battle ends a scenario (conquering all enemy cities isn't required M1,10).

Secondary quest: The Choice

Goals: reach first level of tears or blood reputation

Reward: +2 to Destiny

Mission accomplish itself - every choice get us closer to the finish. Remember, that reputation points we gain not only in buildings (like arena or arcane library) but also thanks to quests (Egg Stealers) and decisions connected with neutral armies (8 blood points for chasing, 10 tears points for letting free).

Princes New Groove - 1st mission - Something is Rotten - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughPrince's New Groove

If we don't collect enough points, we'll finish this quest in the next scenario.

Secondary quest: Egg Stealers

Goals: finding griffins eggs and taking them back to the nest

Reward: 10000 XP, sword ironfeather (+3 to might defence)

We obtain this quest during passing bridge on the east (M1,2) - griffon appears in front of Anton - and his nest being robbed by goblins. We will have to find stolen eggs. There are few entries to undergrounds (M1,X), but only a northern one (M1,X2) leads to thieves. Right after getting down, we should go to the south - we'll find eggs (M2,1). We can decide about goblins destiny gaining 50 tears or blood points (no further storyline consequences).

Gotcha! - 1st mission - Something is Rotten - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughGotcha!Reward is quite big - 1st mission - Something is Rotten - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughReward is quite big

Then we should bring back eggs to griffins - just move to the exit from undergrounds (M2,X2) and talk with creature sitting on a cliff (M1,11). From now on you can recruit griffins in castles.

Other: Undergrounds

Caves hide many precious things - on a map we can find many entries to undergrounds (M1,X), where many artifacts and buildings wait for Anton. If we have a spare time, it's worth to look around a little.

Griffins duchy is falling - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughGriffins duchy is falling

After killing his sister and arguing with inquisitor Salvatore, Anton is facing rebellious barons. Civil war became a fact.

Main quest: Rebel Alliance

Goals: defeating three rebellious barons

Reward: 50000 XP, 5000 gold, guard helmet (+10 Leadership)

Beginning is very poor - we have one fort and prince Anton with small army. Ironically, we meet lord Kilburn after a while - he'll offer us a help and disappear.

Im so poor - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughI'm so poorThis is HAAAAAVEN! - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThis is HAAAAAVEN!

We should start exploration from the north - we'll find a dwelling there(M8,2) and stone mine (M8,7). Further we should take over all buildings in our control zone and collect items and artefact - they'll be useful later. Then explore a south part of a land. We'll find there undead's castle (connected with quest Unfinished businesses; M6,2), from which we make our capitol. After proper development and conquering undergrounds (M6,X), we can move west - there is unowned city (M6,3), which we can take and convert (we'll meet also Valeska who wants to join us; M6,4).

Unowned city - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughUnowned cityValeska will join us in the next scenario if we sentence one of lord to death - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughValeska will join us in the next scenario if we sentence one of lord to death

In this moment we'll be probably attacked by one of rebellious baron - we should push him off and counterstrike. The easiest enemy is one with headquarter on the west (M6,5) - that's how we'll protect our backs. During siege the best thing is to fly over a wall with griffins and constantly healing them by sisters (winged creatures has unlimited counterstrike). For sure charge at gates and crossbowman's fire will be also helpful.

No one prohibit you to have your own plan of conquering - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNo one prohibit you to have your own plan of conqueringTaste my claw, you filthy creature! - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughTaste my claw, you filthy creature!

When the first castle fell, we should move back to our second city (M6,3) and there replenish losses (enemy for sure will attack this place). When we feel strong enough, we should go north - there we'll find second rebel's fortress (M6,6), which should be ours after a short battle.

Enemy wont stand a ground long time - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEnemy won't stand a ground long time

Now, it's time for ultimate encounter with enemy - he is on the northern east (M6,7). To reach him we'll have to go through his territory (with well guarded fort situated in there; M6,8), and conquer solid defenced city. Scheme of the siege is as usual.

Fort is to little to stop us - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFort is to little to stop usIf we want, we can also take over enemys city on the west. - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf we want, we can also take over enemy's city on the west.

When all three lords are defeated, and we decided about theirs fate (125 tears or blood points for each decision), mission ends and we go the next scenario (if we finished Unfinished businesses earlier). The only one consequence of our choices about lords will be a hero who will join us in the next scenario - Kilburn, if we showed mercy, and Valeska if we killed them.

Main quest: Unfinished businesses

Goals: defeating Djordje's ghost and back home

Reward: 50000 XP, +2 to Leadership, lion shield (+3 to Leadership, +3 to defence)

When we left first control zone, and move south, we'll see necromancers castle (M6,2) - it's lord Djordje, killed in previous scenario, rose from a grave. In that situation we have to reach his castle and defeat him once again. Fight with him is quite demanding - it's worth to fill up our army before. During battle we should take care firstly about ghosts (they're healers) and skeletons (shooters).

We should convert not only cities but also dwellings - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe should convert not only cities but also dwellings

When we defeat him, we'll get his castle. Thanks to convertion we'll be able to replenish our army, what's even easier with dwelling on the east. Those troops will be worthy, because quest isn't finished yet - we have to reach lord's residence (M7,4) and there finish him ultimately. Luckily, passages to the undergrounds (M6,X) and to the west are opened for us.

One fort, so much fun. - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOne fort, so much fun.After cleaning up inside, of course - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter cleaning up inside, of course

We should start our exploration from caves - there is necromancers fort (M7,1) - it provides control over few mines, what is very important for our development. Unfortunately, passage to the further part of dungeon, where Djordje is hiding, is unavailable yet.

Conquering of fort could be troublesome - beware of ghosts and liches - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughConquering of fort could be troublesome - beware of ghosts and liches

When we loot undergrounds enough, we have to go back to the surface - now it's best to focus on quest Rebel Alliance which is strongly connected with Unfinished businesses. When rebels barons are dead, we can end issue of undeads - to do that we should go the very north of a land and go to the dark cave (M6,X2).

Entry to the dungeon - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEntry to the dungeon

There is Anton's mother in dungeon (M7,2), who gets us through serie of test with elementals. Three big battles wait for us, but our huge army should smash them. After this, we'll fight Kiryl and his demons (M7,3). Just after this victory (we have to eliminate his shooters ASAP), we'll end mother's trial and teleport nearby Djordje's castle (M7,4).

Three ghosts, three challenges - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThree ghosts, three challengesTrial ends with untypical fight - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughTrial ends with untypical fight

Battle with the last one is quite demanding - ghost collected units during all game, so for sure he'll be troublesome. But when we ultimately finish him, quest ends and we can start being happy about reward. Fight is rather schematic - we should be offensive to not be shot down by enemy. So, move all units to rush and use sisters not to healing, but damaging undeads.

This encounter is the last one - 2nd mission - Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThis encounter is the last one

Secondary quest: Hertrending Song

Goals: finding Requiem

Reward: 15000 XP, Thunderblade's helmet (+2 to Leadership, adds lighting spell)

This quest is about collecting ancient artifact located in the middle of a map (M6,9). As it is guarded by strong angels troop and is situated in quite important place, it's not so worthy to collect it (we'll have better helmet in Rebel Alliance quest).

Main quest: Sword Diplomacy

Goals: conquering Flammschrein

Reward: 50000 XP, lion's mane coat (+ 6 to Leadership)

Mission isn't as easy, as it looks like. During the game we'll face overwhelming forces of enemy and defeat them on our own territory (most of terrain is flooded). So we have to be careful in planning our moves.

Finally angels will help us - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFinally angels will help usFirst city=first siege - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFirst city=first siege

Beginning is simple - we should move east and meet with Jezebeth, an angel (M10,2). After short talk, she let us recruting her winged friends in our cities - it's huge advantage. It's good to use it and take over first castle, little north from here (M10,3).

When it's done, we can start exploring. Like usual, we are surrounded by enemies, but we have a safety zone this time: on south and east are neutral forts (M10,4), which we should conquer ASAP (they're weak defenced). They'll become our first frontline.

The faster we take forts, the better it is - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe faster we take forts, the better it isWe can even take one from our enemys hands - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe can even take one from our enemy's hands

When we'll have proper army, we should chose a direction of our expansion. More profitable seems east - there's Haven city there (M10,5), and a Sanctuary nearby (M10,6). Especially it's worth to conquer the second one - it decreases enemy's potential and active a quest Snakes in Haven. But we have to be careful - it's possible that from a whirl on a river (M10,X1) enemy's army go out from his second city (M10,7). If we have enough army, we should ASAP take care about all those cities.

Enemy hadnt converted city on the east - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEnemy hadn't converted city on the eastWe shouldnt repeat his mistakes - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe shouldn't repeat his mistakes

During battles with nagas, we should eliminate theirs priestesses with huge healing power. Then we can get rid of Kenshi (they have unlimited counterstrikes, so shoot them down), shark guard and Kappa. Other formations won't trouble us much.

If plan of conquering nagas cities will be successful, we should just finish off our enemy. To do that go south and conquer his forts (M10,8) and a city (M10,9). In this moment opponent has only one castle, the Flammschrein (M10,10), which is a goal of our mission. Taking it won't be easy - when we get near to its walls, nagas close gates. To go inside, we'll have to finish other quest - Precise Blow.

When we collect proper artifacts we can start a siege - enemy's castle is well fortified and guarded, but for sure it'll fall down in front of our powerful army (sieges are described in chapter Tactics on the battlefields). After defeating serpents, we'll have to meet with their general - to do that, we go through the portal(M10,X5) and have one last battle in the scenario. Finally, the mission ends.

Main quest: Precise Blow

Goals: finding a residence of siege machines builder

Reward: 40000 XP, 150 points of blood reputation, guard bracers (+2 to Leadership)

We obtain that mission, during standing in front of Flammschrein (M10,11). Those powerful walls can't be conquered in traditional way, so we should have to find a siege specialist. We must move to his residence (M10,12) and take his journal with notes.

Nice apartment - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNice apartment

When we get there, we'll see an inferno's hero, who is trying to steal artifact we need. After short fight (look out enemy's shooters) we get rid of him. Then go back under enemy's castle gates and the quest is done.

Secondary quest: Snakes in Haven

Goals: converting two Santuary's cities

Reward: 20000 XP, 10000 gold, +50 to blood reputation

There are only two enemy castles we can conquer - in the middle of a map (M10,6) and on the very south of it (M10,7). We can reach them only by sea, and the only one shipyard (M10,13) is located within enemy's territory. So we have to get there and buy a ship.

Nagas arent expect a landing - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNagas aren't expect a landingBit reaching them is quite troublesome - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughBit reaching them is quite troublesome

Even if conquering of a first city is easy (it's located opposite to the shipyard), the second one is quite troublesome - to reach it we'll have to go through system of whirlpools (M10,X1 to M10,X2, and then M10,X3 to M10,X4). When we get there, army of nagas will welcome us. Like usual, we should start from eliminating opponent's priestesses and then get rid of his melee troops - very important is also a self-defence. When we win a battle, convert cities and a reward is yours.

Secondary quest: The Tear of Asha

Goals: collecting for parts of moon disc

Reward: 40000 XP, Asha's Tear

Pieces of moon disc are located in western part of a map - we'll have lot of running to collect them. They're marked on map and screens below.

First piece on the southern west... - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFirst piece on the southern west......second a little more north... - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...second a little more north......third one higher, on the east... - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...third one higher, on the east......and the last one on the very north - 3rd mission - Tempt Not a Desperate Man - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...and the last one on the very north

When we collect all of those elements (they have to be in one's hero inventory) we'll see where is Asha's Tear - now you need to pick it up and take to the city. When we did, we can build unlimited Elrath's mercy - it'll rich us very fast.

Our goal is conquering four cities (M12,3), which surround human capitol. This quest isn't difficult but time consuming - we have to expect attacks from every directions and getting another castles one by one. Patience should be our main advisor.

First of enemy's city is on the northern east - near to the fortress (M12,2), we took in Demons at gates quest. Conquering this castle won't be easy, so we should improve our army earlier - especially radiant glories will be important for us. Constantly crossbowman fire, charge of sentinels and crusaders plus healing spells of sisters will give us a victory.

Other Inferno cities (M12,3) we can seize in random sequence - it doesn't matter. But we have to remember about defence - hiring few heroes sounds like good idea. It's worth also to do quests The Prophecy and The Support which make our expansion easier.

During this scenario well fight dozens of battles - 4th mission - A Battle Lost and Won - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDuring this scenario we'll fight dozens of battles

During sieges we'll focus on eliminating enemy's shooters (especially breeder mothers, who can replicate) and destroying gates. To both tasks crossbowmen and radiant glories are the best choice, but we can decide on something more brutal, like rush of seraphs and gryffins inside a walls. Of course - don't forget about healing troops.

The way to victory get opened after conquering forts - 4th mission - A Battle Lost and Won - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe way to victory get opened after conquering forts

When all four cities will be ours a gate (M12,4) to the Hawk's Nest will open - to reach a capitol, we'll have to seize the last two enemy's forts (M12,5). Those, luckily, won't we a challenge - we should massacre defenders. When it's done, we obtain the last one mission in Haven's campaign - Griffins Valour.

Main quest: Prophecies

Goals: go to the undergrounds, conquer those cities and release an empresses

Reward: 55000 XP, angelic alliance (+3 to might attack)

This mission activates when we reach a downstairs to underground (M12,X) - angel Jezebeth asks us to defeat demons in their own lair. To do so, we have to go under the surface of the land.

As we'll see quickly, a way to empresses city (M13,1) get blocked by chaos magic - to break the spell, we'll have to conquer two hellish cities (M13,2) and convert them. It's easiest to move east (there is a strong troop of pit lords on the west), where we can take enemy's fort (M13,3), and then a castle. After that we should replenish our forces, and move further on the west (clockwise). In a short time we'll see another fort (M13,4) and the second city. After collecting them, a way to empresses will be open.

Traitor will want to sabotage us - 4th mission - A Battle Lost and Won - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughTraitor will want to sabotage us

When the spell broke, we can start a rescue action. Nearby a castle we have to seize, is a trap - angel Jezebeth betray us and attacks with army of demons. When we defeat her we obtain a reward: Asha's Tear and all undergrounds passages (M13,X) unlock, so we'll be able to move freely.

What's important, thanks to our work, Sveltana with necromancers will help us - she'll conquer one hellish city (M12,6), facilitates our quest.

Main quest: Griffins Valour

Attention! This quest get activated after finishing Breaking a siege!

Goals: defeating Ahribban

Reward: 30000 XP

After conquering four Inferno cities (M12,3) and two forts (M12,5), has come a time for ultimate battle with demons. Huge monster, demon Ahribban, siege human's kingdom capitol (M12,7) - we should send our best hero to fight him with possible largest army we can. At this stage of game, we'll have plenty of cities and Inferno doesn't count anymore, so it's worth to wait a while and create a enormous army (Ahribban has always the same power). In quest Breaking a siege we obtain very useful artifact, which gives us big advantage.

Only Anton can defend a besieged capitol - 4th mission - A Battle Lost and Won - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOnly Anton can defend a besieged capitol

Encounter with monster is very schematic - enemy will summon little troop of demons in every turns (they goal is to get into the capitol), and attack us himself. Very important thing is fact, that we control not only our army, but also units defending in a capitol - so we can attack him from two sides. It's matter, because death of those defenders equals our defeat - so we should care about their health.

Three first turn will be easy. But then... - 4th mission - A Battle Lost and Won - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThree first turn will be easy. But then...

The battle is a scheme: most of our forces have to attack Ahribban, and one-two troops eliminate demons he summons (defending a capitol, indeed). Enemy has huge HP and powerful attack, also unlimited mobility. To defeat him, we have to just attack him frequently causing huge damages. Especially sisters are good at it - they cause additional damages to darkness units. One more thing is important - in every turn the same unit should attack him first - Ahribban in counterattacks divides damages between all units he hurt.

When demon dies, the campaign is over.

Secondary quest: The Support

Goals: meet with emisaries from Deer Duchy

Reward: +50 marksmen, +25 sun crusader, guard shoes (+1 to movement on the land, +1 to might defence)

This mission is getting done by doing Breaking a siege - whatsoever we have to move nearby Deer's castle (M12,8), so we can visit them.

Every game in Might and Magic: Heroes VI is a unique adventure. Even if we're gonna fight only on the one map and making the same decisions, game will look different for each time. This is caused by high randomness - great part of creatures and resources is random. Also enemies behaviors vary. That's why you can't create one general rule for an expansion - there are too many factors.

Nevertheless, you can make a common scheme, which you should follow during game - both in battles and city development. About wars you can read in chapter Tactics on the battlefield and about castles - below.

Havens cities are impressive - City development - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHaven's cities are impressive

Most of Haven's building requires big amounts of wood - it'll be the most important resource for us, which lets for fast develop in few first turns. Of course, stones are also meaningful, but less than wood. Crystals are useful to upgrading buildings (in beginning weeks it's not good idea) and recruiting more advanced units (much better choice).

So resources will decide about our direction of development - we should ASAP take over a sawmill, then stone mine and at last crystal mine. Such model of expansion exacts simple tactic of build-up - we should count on quantity, not quality. Huge numbers of weaker units will smash small amount of stronger ones - so we should invest during first turns into sentinels, crossbowmen and sisters, not even trying to buy an expensive sun raider.

How it looks in practice? We should begin our develop in the very same way every time - from building a Priory (sisters). Those holy women will be a base of our army - thanks to them our troops won't shrink during battles. Investment sisters is crucial in the first turn - it highly decreases any losses.

When the Priory is done, we have to care about economic aspect - town hall is the best choice (1000 gold per turn). Further decisions depend from the resources we have. If we have enough money, we can build a Loophole Tower (crossbowmen) - but usual it's better to construct a city hall. Regardless of our choice, we should think about building a city walls in the seventh day - they'll increase our population. Firstly, of course, we have to build some dwellings - that's why balance between economy and military potential is so important.

No one can stand us! - City development - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNo one can stand us!

When we have dwellings of first level units (sentinels, crossbowmen, sisters), our gold income is sufficient and walls are built, we can think about bigger expansion. To do that, we have to care about second level units - radiant glories, sun raiders and griffins. Which we choose first doesn't matter really - they all are same useful on the battlefield. So we should invest in the unit we can afford (but remember: quantity over quality).

When we possessed all second level units, we have to build a capitol - only thanks to it, we won't bankrupt. Probably in this moment we have more than one city - town portal is a good idea. Only in this moment you can consider upgrading of units - earlier it was worthless - especially think about crossbowmen and sisters.

Such developed city is powerful - but to leave any chances to an opponent, we have to make a critical blow. Transept of Elysium, recruiting seraphs, should decide about our victory. If it isn't enough, we can build special structures, and if we run out of resources, think about marketplace. A nail in opponent's coffin will be upgraded units.

The biggest value of this unit is ability to protect nearest ally units - that's why other troops should surround sentinels. It improves our army defensive capacity.

Haven has only one troop able to range attacks - that's why crossbowmen are very important part of our army. Only thanks to them we can provoke enemy to attack us - and the defence is our strongest side.

Huge advantage of crossbowmen is ability to ignore a half of enemy's armor - perfect tool to fight against most powerful opponent's units. But we have to be careful with marksmen - their bolts can damage also ourselves.

Despite pretences, sisters are very important - in many situations, they save a battle for us. Thanks to them, Haven's army has no losses, and enemies are without chances with the Lightness.

Besides powerful healing spells, sisters also cause huge damages to demons and undeads. What is more, vestals can freeze custom enemy on the battlefield - this ability often decides about our victory.

Unfortunately, as supporting troops have little HP, you have to protect them like your own eye. You never can leave them alone - they are defenceless then.

Griffins arent the most powerful Havens unit, but for sure crucial one - because they can fly over walls and obstacles - Griffin / Imperial Griffin - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Griffins aren't the most powerful Haven's unit, but for sure crucial one - because they can fly over walls and obstacles. It matters especially during sieges, when getting inside castle is an essential thing. Besides, griffons are ideal to attack enemy's shooters and maidens - thanks to huge mobility, they can move fast and make crushing blows.

Unfortunately, griffins abilities aren't too good - it's not worth to use them mostly. Bettes to use those wonderful creatures according to their fate - fly over the front and attack enemy's supporting units.

Additional advantage of this unit is fact, that it can cancels spells casted on nearest units - great in battle with mages. Unfortunately, Glories are very sensibility for darkness magic - so we have to be especially careful against necromancers.

In Haven's army, cavalry is sth obligatory - without it, human troops will have to still moving back and defence. Luckily, those heavy armored riders can change it - they do well in sudden rushes onto enemy's backs, good also at the first line. As their power of attack increases with every crossed field, they should move through all battlefield during battles and bite enemies with fast blows.

Sun crusaders can ignore all obstacles, that's why they are perfect in long sieges. If we support them with griffins, seraphs and crossbowmen, any castle will stand us.

Angels are real Elraths messengers - beautiful, full of light and powerful - Seraph / Celestial - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Angels are real Elrath's messengers - beautiful, full of light and powerful. Those legendary-like creatures are only in the most powerful commanders armies - no one can underestimate army with them in.

Celestials can not only cause huge damages and move as quick as a thought - they are also very good support. Because winged units can resurrect companions - they use Elrath's mercy to that, so resurrected troops are inspired by his godly anger.

Basics

Haven's army is best in defence - most of its troops have quite lot HP and good armor, but non impressive attack and speed. That's why or tactic should be hammer and a anvil: create a strong, resistant front on which our enemy break his teeth and then eliminate fleeing troops.

And there was Light! - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAnd there was Light!

Especially useful are hero's abilities - mainly faction skill, which let us to protect chosen unit from enemy's blows. Great follow-up to it are light magic spells and units which can heal (sisters and seraphs).

Briefly, every battle should begin with creating front supported by shooters and sisters and occasionally harming enemy with more mobile troops(sun riders, glories, griffins).

Battles on the Field

We should adapt our tactic mainly to the types of units on the battlefield - both on our and enemy's sides. We have to be careful - one tiny mistake can ends with a total disaster. On the other hand, proper use of abilities and spells provide victory, even when an enemy will have much numerous advantage.

The most important are sisters - they can not only heal and resurrect our troops, but also cause high damage to the dark forces (demons, undeads). In upgraded version they can also petrify chosen enemy, which is very helpful. Unfortunately, sisters are very sensitive to damages, so we should always protect them.

Piece of a cake - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughPiece of a cake

Nevertheless, not sisters win battles, but a regular army. Look at sentinels, having great defensive abilities, and nice attack. Their perfect support are crossbowmen, with no negative modifier for a distance. Those three troops together can stop overwhelming enemy.

But the real fun begins, when you put elite units into the battle - those are mainly to counterattack. When enemy stops at sentinels, you should kiss him warmly with glories - they have huge movement and do not cause a counterstrike. In melee fight they are weaker (not so many HP), that's why we should invest into stronger griffins. Those powerful winged units, can harm enemies really hard - good at attacking supporting units and first line fighting. The final word belongs to sun riders - good movement range, attack getting more powerful with every crossed field - they are perfect saboteurs, which can ride around enemies and stab in the back - huge HP and armor are additional qualities. Usually it's worthy to keep cavalry behind sentinels and charge from there.

Such situation cant take place NEVER. - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSuch situation can't take place NEVER.

The most powerful Haven's units are seraphs and celestials. Their stats are good, but better use their abilities (healing, resurrecting), than let them fight. They are good one vs one, but it's risky to give them chance to die - they're very expensive.

Sieges

Only in theory Haven's army is better in defending castles than in attacking - in fact, lot of flying units and big defensive virtues makes both this roles equal good.

During defence, tactic is easy - you have to hold an enemy in a place and there smash him. So we should sent crossbowmen to the towers and place sentinels behind gates (with one more melee troop). Opponent probably begins a siege from charge at gates - so they become main point of battle. If the situation aren't critical, we won't go out the walls.

Attacking castle without flyers is a very bad idea - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAttacking castle without flyers is a very bad idea

When the gates fell down, the crucial moment of battle begins - troops behind the gates have to stand enemies. Sentinels (or praetorians) are ideal to this task. Additionally we can harm enemy with glories, griffins or riders. Remember, that sentinels add defence bonus to nearby ally units.

Enemy will bleed out before the gates - our troops supported by crossbowmen fire, sisters healing and angels can stand almost everything. If an opponent tries to move through the moat, he'll stuck there - a perfect occasion to attack him with cavalry or griffins. Such defence will be successful for sure.

We cant let enemy into the castle - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe can't let enemy into the castle

And what if we are attackers? Of course, we should focus on gates - mainly by moving there sentinels and riders. The rest of troops can fly over walls (seraphs, glories, griffins) or are support (sisters, crossbowmen). That's why rushing into the inside of castle isn't any problem - and if we have sun crusaders, we can even move into, before the gates fell. Such quick attack should surprise our enemy - and what is more, we'll lose less units thanks to that.

Every hero in Might and Magic: Heroes VI can develop in two ways - tears or blood path. It depends only from our choices during game, which type of reputation hero will gain - this decision affects not only his appearance but also his special abilities, which have quite big meaning for a player. So, before we decide for any of them, we should consider it carefully.

Below you can find tables describing heroes who had chosen their destiny. Abilities are gained during hero's development of course.

Haven's leader should focus on buffing their armies: improvement of morale, statistics and real value on the battlefield. That's why the most important will be abilities from paragon (might heroes) and light magic (magic heroes).

Warcries are very useful - Abilities - Heroes - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWarcries are very useful

For knights, obligatory abilities will be those influencing our units. A core (besides Enlightment) should be: Defender, Charismatic Leadership, Destiny's Chosen and Assailant. During development they strengthen our army and hero himself, makes his blows more powerful. If we have spare experience points and the longer mission is planned, we can invest also in Reinforcements, Battle March (especially during sieges!), Ambush, Heroism and Toughness.

If our choice is mage, we should at first take spells from light magic: Celestial armor, Heal, Retribution Aura and Blindness. But what are wizards without prime magic? Investing in Arcane Ward, Arcane Exalation, haste and time stasis made battlefield our sandbox, in which we'll dictate rules.

List of all spells and abilities you will find in main guide.

Sanctuary is a faction which never before appeared in Heroes. Its creatures are mostly honorable, reptile-like naga warriors and beautiful buy dangerous spirits. Hashima Island, on which Sanctuary is located, is a really picturesque place, with amazing landscapes. It's nothing surprising in fact, that natives admire the Island. Thousands of flowing rivers, wonderful lakes and unlimited ocean - in such condition rose an incredible civilization.

Water Empire from hundreds of years stands aside of the most import ant events - that's why it's so different. Commanding armies of Sanctuary isn't similar to strategy of any other fraction. Nagas and water creatures basing mainly on cooperation - single warrior is a danger, but only with good support he can win wars. From a leader of its armies big elasticity and planning ability is required - it's not that easy. In this guide all crucial thing needed to good commanding of Sanctuary are described.

Campaign

Main Hero of Sanctuary's campaign, Irene, is running away from her hated husband - Prince Gerhart. Sandor, princess's brother, helps her move on the Hashima Island, where nagas are living - there she hopes, she will find an asylum.

Beautiful, but mysterious Hashima - Introduction - Sanctuary - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughBeautiful, but mysterious Hashima

Chased by her husband, Irene is moving deeper into unknown land. Who knows, what's waiting for her?

Main Quest: The Wolf Hunts

Goals: run away from the coral priestesses temple

Reward: 2000 XP, Sandals of the Prophet (+1 to hero's movement points, +1 to HP for all units)

This Quest we get after getting on the Hashima - we have to help Irene in an escape.

We move to the northern-east, where we find a troop of sentinels (M1,1), guarding a treasure. After defeating an enemy, we move west - there we fight another battle, collect treasures and use nearby buildings. Few coral priestesses will join us Little further (M1,2).

Goals: meet with the lord Hiroshi in the Umiya city

Reward: 10000 XP, 10 Kenshi, Humble Coif of the Prophet (+3 to magic defence and mana regeneration, +30 mana)

In the further part of the land, we'll find a huge clearing full of Gerhart's troops. Before we move south, it's worth to settle here for a while - on the north (M1,4) we can make secondary quest Punishing the Poachers, and little on the west Elemental Balance(M1,5). Especially the first one is worthwhile - the reward is quite big.

When we go on the south, we'll figurate out, that our horse can't move cross the River. To solve this problem, we have to do the quest Riding the Waves (M1,7).

We won't move further until our horse learn how to swim - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe won't move further until our horse learn how to swim

After completing this mission, we are going south - by the way collecting treasures and having battles with weak enemies. Eventually, we get to the entrance to the cave (M1,X) - we will go under the vulcano.

The Lord Hiroshi himself - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe Lord Hiroshi himself

Sooner or later we reach an exit from the cave (M2,X2). After few steps we meet lord Hiroshi (M1,9) who gives us a mission: Secession. In this moment, The Naga Lord ends.

Main Quest: Riding the Waves

Goals: reach the Dragon Nexus

Reward: 10000 XP, +2 might attack

During The Naga Lord quest, we'll find that our horse can't walk on the water - to gain such ability, he has to drink from the Shalassa's spring (M1,7).

Spring is situated at the western side of the island - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSpring is situated at the western side of the islandSlurp slurp - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSlurp slurp

The spring we'll find on the west - use it, and the quest is done. By the way we are able to do the Of Sharks and Men quest.

Main quest: Secession

Attention! This mission get activated after finishing The Naga Lord!

Goals: conquer and convert the city Strandholm

Reward: 10000 XP

After talk with Hiroshi (M1,9) we receive a castle (M1,10) - but about nearest mines, we have to care yourself. After gaining enough resources and recruiting few troops, we can move further.

Our lands - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOur landsEnemy has two forts on the north - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEnemy has two forts on the north

Enemy's castle is a bit on the north (M1,12) - by the way we'll have to conquer his two forts. Opponent will, from time to time, attack us, but not with strong armies. In the meantime we should visit undeads ruin - monsters keep there sixteen Kenshi (M1,11).

Save Kenshi! - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSave Kenshi!We have to cut out enemy's supplies - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe have to cut out enemy's supplies

Now it's time to seize Standholm itself (M1,12) - attack on this fortress is one the most difficult battle in the game. It's worth to arm our hero maximally and think about Irene's equip. Delaying an attack has no sense - enemy will gain New units much faster than we.

Enemy's residence is well protected - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEnemy's residence is well protected

During the battle it's Best to concentrate on enemy's priestesses - they are incredibly strong, can heal and resurrect allied also. If we reached the first tear reputation, we should use serenity ability - it'll block enemy's shooters for few turns. of course we should remember about healing our troops and attack the gate with Kenshi and Shark Guards.

After a victory, we have to make a decision - we can let enemy's Hero free (+100 tear points) or kill Her (+100 blood points). If first one, we'll fight her in the next scenario.

Our choice has small influence on the plot - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOur choice has small influence on the plot

In this moment, the quest is done, and we begin the next scenario - The Winding Stair.

Secondary quest: Choice

Goals: reach a first reputation level (blond or tears)

Reward: 10000 XP, +2 Destiny

Mission accomplish itself - every choice get us closer to the finish. Remember, that reputation points we gain not only in buildings (like arena or arcane library) but also thanks to quests (Elemental Balance) and decisions connected with neutral armies (8 blood points for chasing, 10 tears points for letting free).

After short fight, we should win - the key is a fast Shark Guards attack and healing them.

Secondary quest: Elemental Balance

Goals: Take an artifact guarded by water elementals

Reward: 2000 XP, +30 tears or blond points, Staff of the Tide (+10% to water magic efficiency)

This quest can be done in two ways - blond or tears path. When we reach water elementals (M1,5), we'll choose. If we attack those creatures, we obtain 30 blood points (better do the Punishing the Poachers first - you may need some supplies). Water units can freeze our troops every two turns, causing huge damages - so we should get them ASAP.

Water... - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWater......or fire? - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...or fire?

If our decision will be more peaceful, water elementals tell us to eliminate their fire brothers (M1,6). Fight with them is much easier than with water spirits, and a reward is good too - 30 tears points and 2000 XP. "Sparkles" are not-top-strong shooters - but they are blowing in the moment of death!

Secondary quest: Of Sharks and Men

Goals: defend Gerhart's men on the boat

Reward: 10000 XP, 22 Shark Guards

Luckily, we know how to walk on the water - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughLuckily, we know how to walk on the water...so sea battle won't be challenging. - 1st mission - The Fury and the Mire - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...so sea battle won't be challenging.

Little on the north from the Shalassa's spring (look at: Riding the Waves) we'll see a boat with Gerhart's people (M1,8) - if we defeat them, we'll gain a sharks appreciation. Human army isn't big - few sentinels and crossbowmen, who we can easily eliminate. It's Worth to do this quest - both for experience and new units.

Others: Mysterious Island

On the northern-east edge of the map (look at M1 and M3) we'll find small island - there are fort and two mines (gold and crystal). It's quite well protected and, what is more, Gerhart will continually attack us - if we don't be careful, he may conquer our city. That's why it isn't worth to search a treasures.

Were moving into the island - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe're moving into the island

After we conquered enemy's fortress and converted it, we become Lord Hiroshi's servants. There are still Gerhart's troop on the land we obtained from Hiroshi - Irene has to care not only about herself, but also about her people.

Main quest: Remnants of the Pact

Goals: conquer brigands fort in less than 4 weeks, check situation in a Haijing city.

Reward: 15000 XP, +2 might attack

For the first part of time we have plenty of time - there is no rush. Before we move to our goal, on the south, it's worth to look around in eastern part of the island - there is a lot of treasures and useful objects.

Lurking around is worthwhile this time - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughLurking around is worthwhile this time

When we satisfy our greedy, we can go against our enemy (M5,2). If we let free the hero in the previous scenario, we'll meet her in the fort at the south - after short fight with weak army, we should seize nearest lands.

Weak, weak army. - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWeak, weak army.This lands are ours! - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThis lands are ours!

In this moment, paths to the rest of the island get opened (M5,3). Like usual, before moving further, spare some time for an exploration.

When we seize the fort, the gate will open - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhen we seize the fort, the gate will open

When we fill our sacks with gold and precious things, we can move to the city of Haijing (M5,4) - its lord, old shark, will describe the situation and instruct us to do the quest Declaration of Independence. The Remnants of the Pact ends now.

Main quest: Declaration of Independence

Attention! This mission get activated after finishing Remnants of the Pact!

Goals: defeating Karloff

Reward: +2 to Leadership, 32 shark guards, 36 coral priestesses

After talking with Hajing's leader, we'll see another Gerhart's army - commanded by general Karloff. To help citizens, we need to defeat attackers. But it bias the Lord Hiroshi against us - we can't avoid that.

Hajings welcome isnt warm - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHajing's welcome isn't warmWe gain their trust by defeating Karloff - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe gain their trust by defeating Karloff

Human's troop aren't too big, the easiest way is to hold them using Kenshi healing by priestesses, and attack crossbowmen and enemy's healers with the rest of our troops. After fight, we have to decide what to do with Karloff - incarcerating him gives us 100 tears points, killing him - 100 blood points. When we make our decision, the quest is over and we obtain another two missions: Honor and Necessity and Kirin. In the next turn, whirlpool appear on the sea, activating The Ronin quest.

Main quest: Honor and Necessity

Attention! This mission get activated after finishing Declaration of Independence!

Goals: defeat Lord Hiroshi, or make him surrender

Reward: 15000 XP, +2 to Destiny, Helmet of the Naga Lord (+7 to Leadership on the sea, +2 to sightseeing)

After helping Hiroshi's subjects, we have no other way - we must fight with him. Daimio's residence is in the very middle of the map (M5,6) - to reach it, we need to open two gates. In that case, we have to complete the quest Twin cities.

We can make him surrender... - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe can make him surrender......or conquer his castle - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...or conquer his castle

Further part of the quest we can make in two ways - war path (defeat lord in a battle) or peace path (find Shalassa's dragon - quest Kirin ). What is rare - the time works for us - enemy has the only one castle which we have plenty.

No matter what ending we choose, we obtain the same items - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNo matter what ending we choose, we obtain the same items

If we choose war path, we will have a harsh fight with Hiroshi - he has all Sanctuary's units, except Kirins. During encounter we have to concentrate on eliminating his priestesses and then melee fighters. Triumph ends all scenario.

Main quest: The Ronin

Attention! This mission get activated after finishing Declaration of Independence!

Goals: defeat Changbo, the ronin

Reward: 10000 XP, Iridescent Pearl (+2 magic defence, +2 HP for all units)

In between the sea whirlpool appeared (M5,X1) - it leads to the angry ronin. If we win, we obtain experience, reputation points and a loyal servant.

We reach ronin thanks to the whirlpool. - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe reach ronin thanks to the whirlpool.Fight with him increases our reputation about a level - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFight with him increases our reputation about a level

After reaching warrior's island (M5,5) and defeating him (he's weak), we can choose one of two options: imprison or kill. In first case, we obtain one blood reputation point (simultaneously Katashi hero joins us), in the second one - tear reputation and ronin will join us. The chosen hero will be our companion in the next scenarios.

Main quest: Twin cities

Attention! This mission get activated after finishing Declaration of Independence!

Goals: conquer two Lord's Hiroshi cities - Sunjo and Setsujo

Reward: 20000 XP, +2 might defence

This quest get activated when we move to the south from the Haijing castle - we need to conquer two enemy's cities to unlock the way to his main fortress. Castles are marked on the map M5.

One fortress is on the west from the gate... - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOne fortress is on the west from the gate......the other one on the east. - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...the other one on the east.

During planning the expansion we need to remember that enemy will be trying to take over our forts and cities - we can't let this happen. That's why hiring a few hero is a good idea.

The last one gate is finally open! - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe last one gate is finally open!

During sieges we should send Kenshi under the gate with Shark Guards and Kappa behind their back. Rest troops should be a support - especially healers. When we get those cities, the way to Hiroshi's capitol will be open.

Secondary quest: Wolves, Go Home!

Goals: conquer enemy's fort on the east

Reward: 5000 XP

Enemy's residence is located on the east from our city (M5,14) - this fight will be a good training.

Up on the hill you will find them - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughUp on the hill you will find them

Fort in which soldiers sheltered, isn't well protected - defeating them isn't troublesome. So do this quest and enjoy the XP.

Secondary quest: Kirin

Attention! This mission get activated after finishing Declaration of Independence!

Goals: find Kirina, take care of spring spirits and snow maidens

Reward: 10000 XP, 1 Kirin, Silksword of Kirin (+5 to initiative)

Finding Kirina isn't simple - he hid in the middle of a jungle, away from the roads. His position is marked on the map (M5,9).

Beautiful and majestic lord of the seas - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughBeautiful and majestic lord of the seas

When we meet the ancient monster, we receive two quests: we can help water creatures or harm them (subquests Spring Spirits and Snow Maidens).

Kirins hiding is easy to miss - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughKirin's hiding is easy to missLuckily he is marked - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughLuckily he is marked

After completing this missions, we come back to the Kirin. If we followed tear path, we would reach Hiroshi's castle - quest Honor and Necessity will be ended at once.

Blood path is a bad idea - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughBlood path is a bad idea

But if we decided to fight with spring spirits and snow maidens, Kirin will attack us. The encounter is surprisingly easy - enemy has only few units, which we will crush (few Kirins has no chances with the army of weaker units). After battle we received the reward, and the quest is done, but we still have to defeat Hiroshi in his fortress. That's why the tear path is better.

Secondary quest: Spring spirits

Attention! This quest is a part of a Kirin mission!

Goals: help spring spirits or defeat them

Reward: 10000 XP, 100 tears or blood points, 18 spring spirits (only when we chose the tears path!)

When we go through the portal nearby Kirina (M5,X2), we'll meet spring spirits on a small island(M5,10). We can help them ( it costs 20 stone; M5,11) or encounter them (play it in a defensive way). Depending on our choice, we obtain 100 tears or blood points.

Spring spirits arent a demanding opponent - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSpring spirits aren't a demanding opponentBut its better to help them - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughBut it's better to help them

Secondary quest: Snow Maiden

Attention! This quest is a part of a Kirin mission!

Goals: help snow maidens, or defeat them

Reward: 10000 XP, 100 tears or blood points, 16 snow maidens (only when we chose the tears path!)

After moving through the southern portal nearby Kirin (M5,X3), we find snow maidens on a small island(M5,12). They command us to search for a pearl priestess. We gain trust of snowy creatures by completing this quest. Of course, we can kill them (they're shooters) - the quest will be done, and we obtain blood points.

The pearl priestess is far from the island - we have to go through the portal on the east (M5,X4). There are her corpse (M5,13).

Others: The Haunted Wreck

If we want to, we can play a treasures hunters - on the northern-west edge of the map (M6,9) we can find a wreck haunted by the group of ghosts. When we defeat them (shooters should make it alone), we receive gold, crystals and XP.

Ship wreck - 2nd mission - The Winding Stair - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughShip wreck

Others: Undergrounds

There are two passages to the undergrounds in the middle of the map (M5,X) - they'll get activated when enemy use them. WE will find a huge amount of treasures there - it's also good idea for fast travelling (instead running around the mountain). More information on the map M8.

Its time for a goodbye with an island - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough

It's time for a goodbye with an island

After defeating Lord Hiroshi we have to take his obligations. Previous Daimio obliged to defend Hashima against the necromancers- now it's Irene's task.

Main quest: The Wrath of Shalassa

Goals: conquer four holy villages before necromancers

Reward: 20000 XP, +2 to magic power, Evercold Icicle (water magic causes 20% damages)

Main quest is a constant chase with the time. First of holy villages (M9,1) is in necromancers hands from the beginning - next two will be theirs in few turns (M9,2 and M9,3). The only one we can take is this on the west (M9,4). We have to conquer it at the latest in the third week.

Main problem is a lack of crystal. - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughMain problem is a lack of crystal.We have to fight hard for it. - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe have to fight hard for it.

Luckily, we have two heroes, and nearby our castle we can find lot of not-so-well protected resources. Quick collecting mines and resources is our main task in within few first turns. Of course, we have to care about our army - against necromancers we should go only when we recruited at least few Kenshi and lot of weaker units. Our problem is lack of crystal mines - so we have to use our resources wisely.

Clash of titans - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughClash of titans

Well developed and armed, we can move west. After crossing the river, we meet two orcs (M9,5). Quest connected with them(The Means to an End) get activated as we start fighting with undeads. They're waiting a bit further (M9,6) - after short conversation we'll fight. Enemy's hero is powerful, but his army is not - if we heal our troops wisely and play offensive (fast attack), we will surely win. Now, the orcs we've met join us - we obtain quite strong hero with nice army.

Allies are good - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAllies are good

After fight with undeads, way to the first village is free (M9,4) - we have to take it over ASAP and develop. When we recruit enough army, we can move further - but be careful, cause the enemy will try to conquer our cities and convert them (he always come from the whirlpool M9,7, and along the river).

Its the closest holy village - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt's the closest holy villageLook out undeads raids - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughLook out undeads raids

Next part of a mission we can play brutal or wise. In the first case we can ignore orcs and their quest - nothing stands against conquering another two holy villages (M9,2 and M9,3) without their permission or help. But it's time consuming and exhausting way - it's much better to help barbarians.

If we help savages, theyll conquer holy villages for us - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf we help savages, they'll conquer holy villages for us

When we possess both orcs cities, we should prepare to the final encounter with undeads. It's worth to do the quest The Tear of Asha in this moment - additional resources and units will be great support.

If we feel strong, we can move west - to the jaw of a lion (M9,1). You will see a necromancers fleet at the shore (M9,8) - we shouldn't fight them, but move straight to the enemy's city. The siege is a hard one, but we cared enough about our army and we should win. The crucial thing is sending Kenshi under the gate and healing them. We should also use Irene's abilities often.

We have no chances with this fleet - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe have no chances with this fleetLuckily, Shalassas spirit will get rid of them - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughLuckily, Shalassa's spirit will get rid of them

When we take over the castle, the Shalassa's spirit-messenger arrive. Irene asks him for the destroying enemy's fleet - and it will be done.

Main quest: The Harvesters

Goals: defeat necromancers

Reward: 40000 XP, Libram of the Prophet (+5 to magic defence, +50 mana, +5 to mana's regeneration)

This quest is connected with The Wrath of Shalassa. To complete The Harvesters we have to conquer not only all necromancers cities on the main island, but also theirs hidden base - on the northern-west edge of the map (M9,9). Its siege has to be done in a offensive way - enemy has a lot of shooters, so we have to burst into the castle ASAP.

The ultimate encounter! - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe ultimate encounter!

Only eliminating all enemy's heroes and conquering all his cities ends this mission and all scenario.

Secondary quest: The Tear of Asha

Goals: find four parts of a moon disc

Reward: 30000 XP, Tear of Asha (it let build Shalassa's Frozen Breath)

Theoretically the quest is easy - we have to find four parts of a moon disc, combine them, and then look for the Tear of Asha. But in practice it's harder - those pieces are thrown all over the map, guarded by quite strong monsters. Their positions are marked below.

Vampires on the east... - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughVampires on the east...... ghosts on the west... - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough... ghosts on the west......ghouls on the south... - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...ghouls on the south...... and a surprise on the northern-east. - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough... and a surprise on the northern-east.

The items were looking for are marked with crosses - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe items we're looking for are marked with crosses

Of course, construct Shalassa's Frozen Breath - we can make it in a city with the capitol. Now you can enjoy additional money and units.

Secondary quest: The Means to an End

Goals: free the orcs prisoners

Reward: 30000 XP, +100 tears points, Bracers of the Freemage (+2 to magic power, hero gains chain lighting)

Orcs, we've met during our travel to the first holy city (M9,5), will ask us to re-gain their residences, taken by necromancers (M9,2 and M9,3). As a enemies of our enemies are our friends, we should help savages.

We can take holy villages by the axe... - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe can take holy villages by the axe...... but its much easier to help the savages. - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough... but it's much easier to help the savages.

To do the quest, we have to find a mountain path to the north - that's where the prisoners are. After fight with not big troop of undeads (M9,10), we can choose: let orcs regain their residence (+50 tears) or join them to our army (+50 blood). First one is much better - barbarians retakes their city in the same turn (M9,3), which is one of the holy villages - and they give it to us.

The second orc's prisoner is a bit on the west (M9,11) - also guarded by elite undead's troop, and also offer us a city. When both troops are free, the quest is over.

Barbarians can show gratitude - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughBarbarians can show gratitudeEven twice. - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEven twice.

Secondary quest: Smooth as a Millpond

Attention! This mission get activated after finishing The Means to an End!

Goals: convert all four cities on the main island

Reward: 30000 XP, +3 to might attack, +3 to magic power

This mission is linked with a betrayal - orcs trusted us and helped in our mission: if we want, we can stab them in the back and convert their villages (M9,2 and M9,3), but barbarians will revenge. Just when we enchanted the castles, the orc's troop attacks us (M9,12) - quite powerful, but beatable. During the battle not melee the cyclops, but shoot them down - they receive damages in its turn, so their counterstrikes are powerful. The rest of the army we should do in a way described in Tactics on the Battlefield.

The quest is done only after converting all cities - including the necromancers residence (M9,1).

Others: Captain's Ghost

On the small island in the between of a map (M9,13) we'll find a ghost. It's a spectre of Haven's prince - he'll tell us his story, which is very important for full understanding the storyline of a Heroes VI.

Ghost story - 3rd mission - The Blood-Dimmed Tide - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughGhost story

Others: Guardian Helmet

Nearby necromancers residence on the south (M9,14) is a very powerful artifact- guardian helmet (+10 to leadership). To take it, we have to crush huge undeads troop, but it's totally worth it.

Its time for revenge - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt's time for revenge

After defeating necromancers Irene see, that their warnings were true - hordes of demons invaded Ashan. Naga's hero decides to move back to Wolves Duchy to fight with monsters - it means also meeting Gerhart. It will be an ultimate encounter between them.

Main quest: To behead a Wolf

Goals: defeat Gerhart, conquer Isegrim

Reward: 50000 XP,

We begin on the south (M11,1) - we should develop city and take nearest mines ASAP (no crystal, again). Monsters here are quite strong and we don't have big army, but Irene is so powerful, that she provides us victories. Her abilities are very useful.

We have to develop our city very fast - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe have to develop our city very fast

After seizing nearest territory we have to prepare for a demonic attack. Enemy will come from the north, from the village Ashwick (The Fall of Ashwick; M11,2). Unfortunately, he has really powerful army - that's why we'll have to play cat and mouse with him. During the encounter we should act very defensively and destroy hell gates summoning by the opponent. Partially, the demons problem will be solved, when we conquer the Ashwick. When we did it, the Mother of Nightmares quest get activated.

Demons blitzkrieg - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDemon's blitzkriegBut it will weaken their city - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughBut it will weaken their city

Now the real challenge - we have to seize enemy's second city (M11,3) and win an arm race. To do that, we have to move east to opponent's fortress (it's well protected - eliminate shooters and destroy the gate ASAP).

After that, situation should calmed - Inferno has only one city on the north (M11,4). Demons will play defensively from now on. Unfortunately, their last city is unbeatable, because of number of defenders.

After looting this castle, demons get calm - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter looting this castle, demons get calm

Probably in this moment another problem will appear - Gerhart and his troops. If we'd like to complete the quest We come in peace we have to play defensively and not conquer enemy's cities - but it's much better to destroy our opponent.

By the way we can do the quest Beacon of hope (M11,5) - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough

By the way we can do the quest Beacon of hope (M11,5).

You really want to let it go? - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou really want to let it go?

Sooner or later we get to the gates of Isegrim (M11,6). They remain closed until we finish the quest Mother of Nightmares.

Waiting for revenge - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWaiting for revenge

When the big demon is defeated, we can move into the Wolf's territory. To do the quest is enough to beat Gerhart - we don't need to seize his castle. It's easy battle, and it finishes the scenario and all campaign.

The ultimate encounter... - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe ultimate encounter......and a desired triumph! - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...and a desired triumph!

Main quest: Mother of Nightmares

Attention! This mission get activated after finishing The Fall of Ashwick!

Goals: find the source of the curse

Reward: 50000 XP, +2 Destiny, Robe of the Prophet (+4 to magic defence, +3 to all units HP)

To localize a source of the curse, we have to move far to the north - to the demon's castle (M11,4). We shouldn't attack it, but walk around - there is an entrance to the undergrounds behind it (M11,X). There the creature responsible for the curse lives.

After getting into the dark, we'll see the huge monster - Mother Breeder. Creature has incredible lot of HP, its blows are also powerful - to defeat her, we need a really strong army. Reward is the Tear of Asha and possibility to end the scenario (the gate gets open; M11,6). The encounter we have to play offensive - the less turns it takes, the more of ours soldiers will survive.

Secondary quest: The Fall of Ashwick

Goals: conquer city Ashwick

Reward: 25000 XP

Ashwick. - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAshwick.

Our goal is on the north from the beginning (M11,2) - we can expect constant demon's attacks from there. City is weak developed, but has very strong garrison. That's why, we shouldn't rush - enemy has a number advantage, which will be decreasing with the time (he can't convert the city). When we gain strong enough army, we can attack - the most important thing will be healing ourselves and eliminating enemy's shooters. Also Irene's abilities are very helpful.

Secondary quest: We come in peace

Goals: conquer Gerhart's capitol without seizing his other cities

Reward: 25000 XP

This quest is unprofitable - XP we receive isn't equal to the hundreds of troops we'll lose. If someone really has to do ALL quests in the game, the receipt is easy - he hasn't to conquer red player's cities. (M11,8).

Little of experience or hundreds useful troops? - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughLittle of experience or hundreds useful troops?

Such behavior will make all game much more difficult.

Secondary quest: Honor can be two-edged

Goals: defeat the demon, who challenged Irene

Reward: 25000 XP, +2 to Leadership, Spaulders of the Prophet (+20 mana, +2 to mana regeneration)

This quest activates when we reach demon's territory on the north. The enemy is nearby the vulcano (M11,9) - he'll attack us.

The volcano - demon should be somewhere here - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe volcano - demon should be somewhere here

Enemy's hero is just an Inferno's hero - he'll try to seize our city, and also hunt the Irene, if she has weak army. So be careful. The encounter play in a classic way, described in a Tactics on the Battlefield.

Secondary quest: Beacon of Hope

Goals: defeat demons on the island

Reward: 25000 XP, Frozen Chryzantemum (+10% to honor's points increase)

This quest appears when we reach a small human village - a little on the east from our beginning location (M11,5). Inhabitants will ask us to free the island with the lighthouse (M11,10) - it let renew the supplies. Of course, we can take not this quest and seize the village (+100 blood points) but fight with monsters is equal profitable (+100 tear points). What is more, if we conquer the castle by a peaceful way, we don't disrupt We come in peace quest.

Help the inhabitants! - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHelp the inhabitants!Kill the monsters! - 4th mission - Death-in-Life and Life-in-Death - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughKill the monsters!

The island is on the south from the island - monsters aren't difficult, so we can do the quest easily.

Others: The island of miracles

On the northern east edge of the map (M11,11) we'll find an island full of treasures and useful buildings. If we have problems with computer players, it's worth to strengthen Irene here.

Every game in Might and Magic: Heroes VI is a unique adventure. Even if we're gonna fight only on the one map and making the same decisions, game will look different for each time. This is caused by high randomness - great part of creatures and resources is random. Also enemies behaviors vary. That's why you can't create one general rule for an expansion - there are too many factors.

Nevertheless, you can make a common scheme, which you should follow during game - both in battles and city development. About wars you can read in chapter Battlefield Tactics and about castles - below.

Full development of city takes a lot of time - City development - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFull development of city takes a lot of time

Sanctuary's building aren't expensive, but their upgrades are. That's why we should focus on making our army numerous and later on care about its quality - otherwise we'll bankrupt.

The beginning decisions are the easiest ones - the scheme is always the same. Firstly, we should invest into Coral Sanctuary - in this structure we can recruit coral priestesses, which are unbelievable support for our army. Later, we should construct a Town Hall - we won't bankrupt that fast.

Further steps depends from our resources - if we don't have too many wood, we can build a Reef Bareer (shark guards), and if we have some amounts of everything the better choice is Enchanted Pond (Kappas). Of course, if we are rich, we can build both of them. Cost of all structures is described in a Buildings chapter.

Very important is to build a city walls in the seventh day - it increases our population. If we have a plenty of resources we can construct a City Hall or Sunken Arena (Kenshi) - but such situation is a rare one.

When we have walls, we can develop economic part of our civilization - two buildings listed in previous paragraph, and later on Frost Shrine (snow maiden; cost similar to the Sunken Arena), Sacred Source (Spring Spirit).

Sanctuary even dessert changes into a lovely place - City development - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSanctuary even dessert changes into a lovely place

When we have such developed city, we should build a capitol - it provides us 4000 gold per turn. Those moneys we should spend on something - upgrading of city walls will be a good choice.

Before we construct a Kirin's residence (Misty Mountain), we should look after some upgrades - the most significant change we can observe with coral priestesses, Kappas, Snow Maidens and - mostly! - Kenshis. Rest units can be upgraded at the very end - they are expensive, and not worthwhile.

Our empire growing larger - it's worth to think about town portal, which provides us quick movement. Marketplace let us trade resources - build it just before a Misty Mountain and fortification. Only now, upgrading all building and special structures is cost-effective.

Full developed city allows to have quick, victorious battles with enemies - they aren't as good as we with an infrastructure.

A huge advantage of this unit is a decreasing enemy's initiative - it will slow our opponent. Important is also fact, that Wanizame inflicts more damages to the units he attacks earlier - so it's worth to concentrate on some crucial aims. It shouldn't be difficult - sharks have big mobility and lot of HP.

Despite all, priestesses are the most important unit in Sanctuary - Coral Priestess / Pearl Priestess - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Despite all, priestesses are the most important unit in Sanctuary. Very powerful healing spell, Waves of Renewal, gives huge advantage during battle. Thanks to that, even the bloodiest encounters won't hurt us much.

A curious thing: healing spell lasts 3 turns, so we can cast it on few troops, and don't worry about the nearest future. The only one minus is a fact, that priestesses can make only two spells - then they are quite good shooters.

If we upgrade this unit, its shoots will also decrease enemy's initiative, what is very useful in battles with small amounts of enemies.

Those inconspicuous creatures can make a nice muddle on the battlefield. As Sanctuary has no flying units, it's usually worth to use Kappas instead - as a troop able to quick move on the backs of enemy. Leap and Splashing Leap are ideal to this task - rapid movement from one place to another and causing damages immediately.

Alternative is a use of Kappas as a moving shield - lot of HP and big resistance makes them good candidates to long fights in the middle of battlefield. If we support them with spells, especially healings one, they'll become almost unbeatable.

Kirin is a very unusual 7th level unit - Kirin / Sacred Kirin - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Kirin is a very unusual 7th level unit. It offers a pretty mediocre number of life points and a weak attack. It is much better when it comes to supporting the rest of the army. You should use the ability misty trail and its upgraded version. It allows to weaken the enemy and with Sacred Kirina it makes your own army to have almost an infinite number of actions.

Basics

Battles commanded by leaders of the Sanctuary, are similar to chess - generals are trying to look ahead of enemy's movement and react properly. There is no place for mad charges or mindless attacks - everything should be well planned. Only thanks to good preparations Sanctuary's army is able to stand against the most powerful enemies.

Troops available for this fraction are equal support formations (coral priestesses, spring spirits) and warriors like Kenshi and Wanizame. What is curious - those subtle, women troops are real strength of this army - thanks to them soldiers can fight powerful monsters.

Drop hollow out the stone - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDrop hollow out the stone

Such matter of facts imply specific kind of fighting - rather passive and basing on supporting few troops. That's how we obtain really deathly war machine, which can crush any walls. Even small Sanctuary army, well commanded, can smash much bigger opponent's squad.

Achieving such effect requires from a player sacrifice huge amount of time and concentration. Luckily, you'll find a description for an unbeatable army below.

Battles on the Field

Our tactic during encounters we should modify in reference to troops taking part in a battle - on both sides. So we have to act carefully - any mistake can have a catastrophic consequences. From the other side - good use of abilities and spells lead us to smooth victories. Power of Sanctuary's army is in cooperation.

The most important are coral and pearl priestesses - those very cheap units will be a core of our plans. Thanks to them our losses will be minimalised. It matters especially during long scenarios and campaigns.

Kenshi, Wanizame and Kappa are our frontal troops - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughKenshi, Wanizame i Kappa are our frontal troops

Priestesse's abilities are mostly useful for Wanizame, Kappa and Kenshi - those "frontal" creatures, which we should sent into the middle of battles, with support are able to stand almost every enemy. If opponent doesn't have many shooters, you should fight in such way - control the center of the battlefield and fight there. Our units, which can slow enemies, shouldn't have problems with dominating this sector. If we have Spring spirits, Yukki-Onna and Kirins, fighting with our rules will be easy.

We cant EVER let the enemy reach our priestesses - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe can't EVER let the enemy reach our priestesses

But what if enemy has powerful fire advantage? In such case we have to off defensive tactic and start playing offensive. Luckily, Sanctuary's forces are quite universal - they can work both as a complex machine or single blades stabbing enemy's back. In the second case we can attack with all our troops (besides priestesses) - quick maneuver at enemy's back can make a nice muddle. You should especially use abilities of Kappa and Mizu-Kami - thanks to big mobility and lot HP, they shouldn't have problems with sneaking there. Simultaneously, Wanizame and Kenshi will be a good reserve defending priestesses - put them in the middle of the battlefield - whoever wants move further, will have to do it over their corpses.

Such armed war machine is almost unbeatable. Hero's abilities make it even more awesome.

Siege

Castles are tough topic. Sanctuary has no flying creatures, so its offensive potential is decreased (much better in defense). Although, conquering fortresses shouldn't be a problem for an experienced player - a little of idea and good plan is enough.

During sieges, the most important is gate. You have to sent Wanizame and Kappa under it - those troops should destroy it quickly. In the same time, it's good to preserve them with supporting units, guarded by Kenshi and Kirins. In case of enemy's diversion we can modify this plan - our troops are quite universal.

Sanctuary is a very defensive fraction - defending castle shouldnt be a problem - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSanctuary is a very defensive fraction - defending castle shouldn't be a problem

When the gate is done, we should rush inside with all our melee fighters - there is no point in letting them outside. The best in looting are Kenshi - unlimited retaliation and multiple blows makes them ideal candidates. Behind them Kappa, dragons and sharks next. Such an assault squad will destroy anything (worth considering is letting Mizu-Kami to the melee fight).

If we are defenders, the task is a piece of cake. Usually it's enough to put Kenshi near the gate - healing and supported by spells, they will be almost immortal. And as there is not so many place near the gate, enemy will have big losses in every turn.

Every hero in Might and Magic: Heroes VI can develop in two ways - tears or blood path. It depends only from our choices during game, which type of reputation hero will gain - this decision affects not only his appearance but also his special abilities, which have quite big meaning for a player. So, before we decide for any of them, we should consider it carefully.

Below you can find tables describing heroes who had chosen their destiny. Abilities are gained during hero's development of course.

Heroes of all factions have some set of abilities, which they can learn during next levels. Each of them has its meaning , decides also about the way we play. Individual abilities affect not only hero's a his army abilities but also an available tactics - both on the world map and during battles

Sanctuary's heroes should develop in a specific way. The best choice are the abilities supporting army and adding some special effects to our actions.

Supporting abilities are the best choice - Abilities - Heroes - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSupporting abilities are the best choice

It doesn't matter if we play a might or magic hero, we should invest most of experience into the paragon abilities (might sphere). Located there defender, charismatic leadership, destiny's chosen, enlightment and assailant will help in every mission - its upgrades are also good. If we want to play with spells, the best choice is water magic with ice armor and eternal winter. We can also think about light magic, but as a true magicians, we need to develop our prime magic.

List of all spells and abilities you will find in main guide.

Hell has its own rules. They are as vicious, brutal and uncompromised as the citizens of the Abyss. Most of demons do not know mercy, but feel perfectly well on the battlefield. Slaughters and rapes are in their nature - they don't need anything more. Chaotic character of this creatures is seen at the first glance: they act without thinking, often in a completely senseless way, following only the blood lust. Most of the battles they play are rather series of individual duels. Only the greatest generals can control this wildness.

Most of Inferno's units is more expensive than creatures in other cities - but it's justified. Demons possess really powerful abilities. They prevail over others with strength of attack, speed and devilish luck. No one in all Ashan has more luck than demons.

Generals commanding hellish troops know demons features perfectly - though this creatures are strong, they'll easily lose with more powerful enemy. Small HP and weak armor are the greatest demons disadvantages. Luckily, every devilish general can expect supports - demons hunger is immense and next troops eagerly will join the battle. So if the demon's gates is open, the lot of new units will appear.

Commanding an army of madmen and merciless beasts - that's the challenge worth of the greatest of tacticians. Fighting on the devils side is a tough quest, but this guide contains all necessary information.

Campaign

Kiryl, the youngest son of murdered prince Slava, from unknown reason found himself in the Sheogh - the middle of a hell. As it turns out soon, it will affect greatly not only the Gryphons faction, but all the Ashan.

Kiryl has never been so lost - Introduction - Inferno - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughKiryl has never been so lost

Main quest: Pride, Prejudice and Demons

Goals: search the neighbourhood, reach the Urgash Claw, defeat Toghrul

Reward: 20000 XP, Clown's shoes (+1 to movement on the land, +1 Destiny)

We begin the quest in the middle of the map (M1,1), we have a city in which we should build ASAP Hall of Temptations (growing army). Then we start look around - that's how we have few battles, join several troops and conquer the sawmill and stone mine. When we move south we'll be able to do the quest Two-Headed Puppies (M1,2), and if we wander further on the east, we'll find enemy hero (M1,3) who with we'll fight (easy one, don't bother). Now the quest Bad reputation activates.

Demons do not look that bad - 1st mission - Angel, Angel, Burning Bright - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDemons do not look that bad

When we win the encounter, we'll find the crossroads. Better choice is moving to the south, with easier challenges and a neutral city to seize.

Then we should eliminate the purple player - as it was described in the quest Bad reputation. Additionally we can complete the It's a mad, mad world quest(M1,4) which let us to recruit maniacs. When both cases are finished, we'll face the Toghrul - the same from the prologue. To reach him, we need to travel the road on the southern east, to his kingdom (closed earlier) (M1,14).

After crossing the gate over the gulf, we'll see the fort (M1,15) which we should seize without problems. Little north is a dwelling of tormentors (M1,16). When we feel strong enough, we can head north, where another fort awaits (M1,17). After looting it, there is nothing else to do than moving under the Toghrul's city (M1,18). It's a difficult battle with really strong army - he has all Inferno's units, including pit fiends! That's why we shouldn't rush with this attack, but collect troops patiently. During the siege, we should base on the shooting enemy out, supported by attacking the gate with maniacs and hell hounds. When we seize the fortress, we'll fight the last one, surprising battle.

Demon inside the Kiryl tries to take control over the boy to what succubuses object. In a deathly fight we control Azkaal himself, who has to stand against an army of demons. In spite of pretences it isn't easy battle. Enemy has all army and we only one unit, so the initiative belongs to our opponent.

During the battle we have to, first of all, use our abilities wisely - we can decrease enemy's resistance to a magic, force him to attack his allies or cause damages to all our enemies. In every turn we can use two abilities and they are the key to our victory.

Like a boss - 1st mission - Angel, Angel, Burning Bright - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughLike a boss

The most important thing is not letting the hell hounds to our monster- they have huge attack points, and they quickly bite to the death our unit. That's why we should use this dogs against their allies (unlimited hatred) and decreasing enemy's advantage slowly. Moving on the battlefield is also crucial.

We don't have to bother that all enemy units will attack us. Our monster with every counterstrike reach all creatures, not only the attacking one. So with every blow we'll be getting stronger, which eventually provides us a victory.

Main quest: Bad reputation

Goals: defeat Legion of Suffering and Fans of Suffering

Reward: 20000 XP, +2 to might attack

This quest we obtains when we meet the purple hero the first time, outside our control zone (M1,3). After defeating enemy's scouts, we should move south and conquer neutral city (M1,5). Next continue our travel til we reach an entrance to the enemy's territory. We should look around carefully, there is a pyramid nearby (M3,11) with breeders kept inside. They are worth of fighting. Encounter is easy - finish enemy with succubuses (if we upgraded them, the ability seduce makes it even easier).

Such armed, we should move north to the enemy's city (M1,6). We'll get it easily - enemy has a really weak army, and every attempt of fight we can crush with maniacs or hell hounds.

When the castle is ours, we should regenerate and move further north, where the enemy's fort is (M1,7). During the travel we have to be careful - opponent may try to stab us in the back, going out from one-direction portal (M1,X2) and attacking our city. We have to be prepared by investing into the defence and the second hero.

When we reach his second city (M1,8) the siege begins. Enemy has a big army, so we have to concentrate on fast eliminating his shooters and protecting ours. When it's done, one of our two enemies bites the dust.

To finish our opponent, we head to the northern east and cross the lava ocean (M1,9). Then we'll see a huge city (M1,10) guarded by an army of demons. When we seize it, we should take his last city ASAP (M1,11). When it's done, we can face the Toghrul in a Pride, Prejudice and Demons.

Secondary quest: The Choice

Goals: reach the first level of reputation

Reward: +2 to Destiny

Mission accomplish itself - every choice get us closer to the finish. Remember, that reputation points we gain not only in buildings (like arena or arcane library) but also thanks to quests (Two-Headed Puppies, It's a mad, mad world) and decisions connected with neutral armies (8 blood points for chasing, 10 tears points for letting free).

Satan do not make the man - 1st mission - Angel, Angel, Burning Bright - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSatan do not make the man

If it's not enough, the quest will be continued in the second scenario.

Secondary quest: Two-Headed Puppies

Goals: join hell hounds to Kiryl's army

Reward: 5000 XP, 12 hell hounds, +50 tears reputation

This quest can be missed easily - on the south from our start location we'll meet a demon (M1,2) who wants to talk with us. If we listen to him we obtain the quest, if we decide to kill him, we receive 50 blood points. If we choose the peaceful path, he proposes a deal. If we domesticate hounds nearby (M1,12) he'll support us with this units.

Independently from our choice, from the moment of demon's disappearance, we can recruit hounds in our cities.

Goals: get the Mask of the Madman

Reward: 5000 XP, 50 maniacs, +50 tears reputation

Similarly to the Two-Headed Puppies, this quest can be missed. When Kiryl meets maniacs (M1,4) he can eliminate them (50 blood points) or talk with them. Only the second option is connected with making a quest.

Proving your madness is a real challenge - 1st mission - Angel, Angel, Burning Bright - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughProving your madness is a real challenge

Maniacs demand from Kiryl prove that he is as mad, as they. He has to get a Mask of the Madman (-6 to enemy's morale), which is a little on the southern east (M1,13). After picking it up, maniacs will join us.

Independently from our choice, we can recruit demons in our cities.

It is time to deal with the necromancers. - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt is time to deal with the necromancers.

Despaired Kiryl decided to chase Sara, his recent friend. Mad run lead him to the Heresh, undeads country. Who knows what will be effect of it?

Main quest: Heart of the Spider

Goals: capture Namtaru Mother, defeat spider guard

Reward: 30000 XP, +2 to magic power

Quest began at the very north of the land (M4,1). We should search around a bit (XP, XP!) and go through the bridge. There is a dwelling behind it (M4,2), which is good to seize (we won't have to go back for it) and then human's city (M4,3). Enemy will be so surprised that he gives up without fight. Now convert both castle and dwelling: our army starts to grow.

Our next step is moving west where we are going to find second human's city (connected with the quest Scar of Nelsham; M4,4). When we complete it, we'll have to supplement loses and start further exploration. To get to the Namtaru Mother we need four parts of Moonsilk Crystal Key - how to get them, you can read in the Secret Hideout.

When we obtain all parts and go down to the undergrounds (M4,X2) not easy battle with the spider guards awaits us. Undeads leader has very impressive army with all Necropolis troops. To defeat him we'll need to show all we can what means using Kiryl's and his creatures' abilities as often as possible simultaneously summoning another waves of demons. Enemy has huge fire advantage (three shooters!) so we have to shorter the distance and get him ASAP. The quickest possible elimination of ghosts and shooters is our priority. We don't have to bother about other formations (eventually take care about vampires). When the guard is dead, the way to the Namtaru Mother is open for us.

She isnt too beautiful... - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughShe isn't too beautiful...Disinsection squad! - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDisinsection squad!

Encounter with the Namtaru is also very difficult. Monster has a huge amount of HP and awfully powerful melee attack. Distance isn't a problem for her, she can move freely on the battlefield. To make it even more curious, on the particular squares in every turn appear ghosts, whose aim is to heal the spider. Our answer should be constant offensive: in every turn we have to cause as lot of damages as we (the beast in this cerbers and maniacs) and simultaneously kill ghosts.

First hit to the boss is best to do with the same troop always (optimal: Juggernauts) because enemy has only one counterattack and in that way we'll decrease our loses.

She will at last surrender to our persuasion - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughShe will at last surrender to our persuasion

When we kill the monster, the scenario ends.

Main quest: Scar of Nelsham

Goals: conquer castles on the both sides of the abyss

Reward: +15000 XP,

This quest activates when we reach the second human's city (look: Heart of Spider; M4,4).Our goal is to seize enemy's castle and the twin fortress on the other side of the abyss (M4,5). During this battles we have to mainly attack gates and constantly fire at his priestesses and shooters. After the victory we can talk with defenders or interrogate them. We obtain 125 points of tears/blood (it doesn't affect the storyline anyhow).

When the fortress is down, the gate on the south opens, what allow us to invade necromancers' lands. But before we do, we have to eliminate the last one human hero who is going to attack us from the north.

When the problem is solved, there will be a time for visiting undeads castle. It's just behind the bridge on the south (M4,5) and isn't guarded to well - our army will smash defenders easily. After the battle we receive one part of the Moonsilk Crystal Key required in the quest Secret Hideout. At this moment Scar of Nelsham ends and the another gate opens.

Main quest: Secret Hideout

Attention! This quest is available only after finishing Scar of Nelsham!

Goals: find four parts of the Moonsilk Crystal Key

Reward: +25000 XP, +2 to destiny

First part of the key we'll get in the necromancers' castle nearby the abyss (look: Scar of Nelsham; M4,5), the rest is in the other cities of undeads. The best way to start it is to move east, where we find two enemy's castles. After crossing the footbridge (M4,6) we'll see the undeads' fort (M4,7) which we should capture ASAP (it'll allow us a fast teleportation and attack on two fronts).

Fort will be a great base. - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFort will be a great base.Of course we have to seize it firstly. - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOf course we have to seize it firstly.

Further expansion we should direct both on north and south (if we have two heroes and properly big armies). Siegeing both (M4,8) works on the same scheme: first immobilize liches (using lilims) and then charging on the gates. If we did quests Prisoner of War and More troubles we would have juggernauts and breeders which are perfect tools for those battles. When we get both castles, there'll be the last one fortress to seize.

Bite him! - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughBite him!Old tree burns easily. - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOld tree burns easily.

To reach the last enemy's resistant point (M4,9) we have to move back behind the abyss and move south. By the way we can visit opponent's city (M4,10) nearby which we obtain More troubles quest (it's not obligatory).

Finally we get to the last necromancers city (M4,9). During the encounter we should follow hints form the Tactics on the Battlefield which will provide us a quick victory.

Inferno has a strange weakness about the red - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughInferno has a strange weakness about the red

After destroying the castle we have to prepare to the ultimate battle with undeads (replenishment is very important). To defeat Namtaru Mother you need to move northern east and after few battles with spiders go to the undergrounds (M4,X2). In this moment this quest ends and we will face our destiny as it is described in the mission Heart of the Spider..

Secondary quest: Prisoner of War

Goals: seize the fort where the prisoner is kept

Reward: +15000 XP, 8 juggernauts

This mission we obtain during exploration the central part of the map: when we conquer one of the necromancers forts on the hill (M4,11). Our goal is to find the prison in which powerful Inferno hero is kept.

Princess Peach is in the other castle. - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughPrincess Peach is in the other castle.In that case, the demon is fine. - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIn that case, the demon is fine.

Encounters with necromancers defending those forts can be little problematic: they are well protected (especially liches will cause huge damages). So it's best to use lilims abilities and charge at the gates.

Fetch the bone! - 2nd mission - Fearful Symmetry - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFetch the bone!

When the prison fell we will have a choice: we can confirm our alliance with the demon (+125 blood points, hero joins us) or leave him (+125 tears points). As we never have too much heroes, the "bad guy" path is more profitable. Independently from our choice, we can recruit juggernauts after this quest.

Secondary quest: More troubles

Goals: save breeders

Reward: +15000 XP, Warping Pedant (-1 to enemy's movement points, requires 10 might attack)

This mission activates when we reach second necromancers city (M4,10). We'll see an undead hero trying to fight breeders living in the forest. We of course have to help Inferno creatures. During the battle we have to eliminate liches first and then ghosts (they can heal). On this stage we'll probably have juggernauts and tormentors - their role is to reach enemy's line ASAP.

When we have enemy in our hands, we can decide about his fate. We gain 125 blood point for killing him and 125 tears points for being merciful. From now on we can recruit breeders.

Others: Undergrounds

If we want, we can go to the cave on the west (M4,X) to collect some items and treasures. But it isn't to worthy, because we lose few turns for almost nothing.

Its time for some nagas - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt's time for some nagas

After conversation with Anastasia and Sveltana Kiryl decided to move east, where Sara supposedly gone. Lords of waves, powerful nagas, won't be happy about his visit.

Main quest: Traces in Darkness

Goals: find a cave

Reward: +40000 XP

Main mission isn't very difficult but time consuming - to reach our destiny point we have to cross all the land and search almost every part of it. Of course our enemies won't stop trying to thwart our plans - it could be harsh.

We began the journey on the north (M7,1). After quick reckon we find a group of Pit fiends (M7,2) who will join us - it'll be a serious support for our army. Then we can move Kiryl south (second hero should take care about the resources). When we go through the bridge we'll have first, easy battle with barbarians.

Friendly Pit fiends... - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFriendly Pit fiends......are perfect to the diplomatic treats - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough...are perfect to the diplomatic treats

On the south we'll an orcs' fort (M7,3) which we can easily seize. If Kiryl has some spare ability points, it's worth to consider spells like life drain (darkness magic) or regeneration (earth magic) - thanks to them we'll be able to take more care about our units condition.

First barbarian city. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFirst barbarian city.If we can strong enough, we can go to the undergrounds. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf we can strong enough, we can go to the undergrounds.

When the fort fall, we should move a little west, where barbarian city awaits (M7,4). Defenders will give all of them, so we have to fight wisely to decrease losses. Good idea is to send cerbers under the gates and simultaneously teleport Pit fiends over the walls. Of course they won't handle long inside that's why healing spells will be useful. When the walls fall, push all your troops to attack - enemy won't resist it.

I love smell of sulfur at the dawn. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughI love smell of sulfur at the dawn.

In this moment we should convert this city to Inferno and replenish our forces. On this stage of the game, opponents has grown stronger so advantage which we had thanks to the Pit fiends disappears. That's why Kiryl should move west, for the second roc's city (M7,5) and the second hero should take care about resources. If we want, we can attack also enemy's fort (M7,6) with two dwellings nearby.

Two portals nearby the fortress. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughTwo portals nearby the fortress.Fighting savages isnt an easy task. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFighting savages isn't an easy task.

Siege of the second city we should do like it is described in a Tactics on the Battlefield. When the castle is destroyed, we have to make a difficult decision. There are two portals nearby the city. Left one leads to well secured nagas fortress (M7,7) and right to the weakly defended fort and a dwelling (M7,8). Our choice should depend on the size of our army - we have to remember that nagas won't be passive and attack our lands very eagerly. That's why conquering sea people is a little better idea.

Nagas wont remit us. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNagas won't remit us.Our answer can be only one. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOur answer can be only one.

Battle with nagas has almost always the same scheme - firstly eliminate enemy's priestesses, and then take care about his "frontal" troops. Especially Kenshi with unlimited counterattacks can be dangerous. It's better to shoot them down. Also shark guards can be problematic, but other Sanctuary's troops shouldn't bother you.

Fire versus Water. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFire versus Water.Dont forget about forts! - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDon't forget about forts!

When we capture the city, we should convert it and be prepared to surprising stab in the back. Orcs from the east almost for sure grow up to attack us. Our capitol (M7,1) lies the closest to savages territory and it's the most vulnerable one. So we should regroup on the east and demolish enemy in his own land. We should conduct our offensive on two fronts: one hero can go to the undergrounds (M7,X) where is one of savages' city (M8,1) while the second one will be attacking western castle (M7,9).

There can be only one winner. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThere can be only one winner.Sieges are tiresome and unavoidable. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSieges are tiresome and unavoidable.

During battles with orcs we should concentrate on centaurs. Those shooters has a really big attack. The second in row should be dreamwalkers with lot of HP, strong attack and spell casting. But the most damages we receive from maulers. They are inconspicuous, but they know how to hit. Those three formations will be the strongest ones (of course besides cyclops), so we should eliminate them ASAP. Don't forget also about classical charge at gates. If we use our forces well, we'll be victorious for sure.

When we get both cities, there'll be the time for healing and preparing to the next offensive. This will be conducted from the undergrounds. The southern exit from caves (M8,X2) will lead us to the last orc's land. There we have to conquer two cities (M7,10) and fort. When we do that, the brown player is out and we have to only eliminate the blue one in the quest Bad memories.

Its nothing like family. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt's nothing like family.

When we defeat the ghost of a naga lord, the gate to our goal will open. Kiryl need to move through the west gate where he find entrance to the cave (M7,X2). When our hero go into the darkness, the scenario ends.

Main quest: Bad memories

Goals: defeating ghost of Akasha

Reward: +30000 XP, Ring of Misfortune (-4 to enemy's luck)

This quest we receives during completing Traces in Darkness when Kiryl meets ghost of naga's heroin (M7,11). Dead woman asks us to defeat her husband from the fortress on the southern east (M7,12).

Wife torments his husband even after death. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWife torments his husband even after death.Well, whatever... - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWell, whatever...

Battle with naga's general is very demanding - enemy has a huge army. That's why we have to focus on eliminating priestesses and then his shark guards and Kenshis - those three formation stands for the quality in Sanctuary army. Enemy will have two shooters, just like we, so it's a little impasse. But if we don't let him heals his units and set up demons gate properly (nearby shooters), we'll win.

Secondary quest: Tear of Asha

Goals: collect four parts of moon disc

Reward: +25000 XP, Tear of Asha

To complete this quest we will have to run a lot. Parts of disc are located in various places, one is even in the undergrounds. For making it easier, parts of disc are marked on the maps below.

Those parts can be easily unseen. - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThose parts can be easily unseen.And one is in the cave - 3rd mission - In the Forests of the Night - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAnd one is in the cave

When we collect them, we have to join them and then we'll see where the Tear of Asha is. Now we have to pick it up and take to the city with the capitol. That's how we will build Urgash's Fiery Wrath - the most powerful structure in the Inferno.

Secondary quest: The Hunter and a Prey

Goals: find a creature following Kiryl

Reward: +20000 XP, Motley Cloak of the Fool

We receive this quest just after getting out from our first control zone. To complete it, we have to find a powerful enemy who's following us. But for now it's impossible because of game's error.

Now the ultimate encounter begins. - 4th mission - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNow the ultimate encounter begins.

When Kiryl finds out where is an invisible library, he moves to it. Maybe thanks to that he'll understand Sara's behavior?

Main quest: Payback

Goals: defeat Sara

Reward: +30000 XP, Blade of Binding (all creatures in your army cause additional fire damages)

To reach Sara, Kiryl has to move north (M12,1) where after few battles we'll see a city with the fallen angel inside (M12,2). The encounter is surprisingly easy, she has more modest forces than we, so we'll tear her apart. Key to the victory is healing and constant shooting Sara's cerbers and lilims.

Weve finally found her. - 4th mission - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe've finally found her.As for such a long chase, the battle is disappointing. - 4th mission - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAs for such a long chase, the battle is disappointing.

When the "flamehaired" will lay upon our argumentation, the quest ends and we take over the city.

Main quest: In the Shadow of the Light

Goals: defeat seven darkness elementals

Reward: +70000 XP

Elementals are located in various parts of a map, one even requires sailing (shipyard is on the western coast; M13,30), the last one is in the undergrounds. Monsters' location is marked on the map M11,1.

Sequence of encounters is random, but the good idea is hunting on beasts by the way conquering next neutral cities (M11,2). For sure purple player will try to harm us (M11,3). There is a secondary quest connected with him (The Last Farewell) which we should do for peace' sake. On the contrary absolutely unprofitable is a mission Heaven and Hell. During seeking darkness elementals we should take over as many forts and cities as we can, what will improve our military potential and make our goal easier.

Invisible library is much more modest than you can expect - 4th mission - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughInvisible library is much more modest than you can expect

When we defeated forces of darkness, we start travelling into unknown. We should go to the undergrounds (M11,X2) to reach the northern exit (M11,X3). There we'll find a portal after a short walk(M11,X4) which leads to the invisible library (M12,3). When we get there, we will have the last one battle in the scenario, against an elementals' army. The most dangerous are those darkness (stops counterattack) and fire (blows up in a moment of death). First ones we should eliminate hand-to-hand, best with cerbers or anihilators, and the seconds from the distance (succubuses and mother breeders).

When the quest is done, the campaign ends.

Secondary quest: The Last Farewell

Goals: conquer Port Meyron

Reward: +50000 XP, Mesmering Spaulders (-10 to enemy's initiative)

This quest activates when we fight with the red inquisitor for the first time. This hero will be spawned every few turn in the castle (M11,3) with bigger and bigger army. But you shouldn't attack to eagerly. The castle is well protected and you won't seize it in the first turns of the game. Better tactic is slow taking over the land, connected with converting next castles (in that way we'll ignore the Heaven and Hell quest but it isn't a big loss). Thanks to conquered places (M11,2) we'll be able to hire very quickly strong, almost invincible army. But we have to focus - enemy for sure will try to take over our cities, so we should defend them. By the way it's worth to think about elimination of darkness elementals which are located in various places (look at: In the Shadow of the Light). Direction of our expansion and sequence of battles is random, all the cities are neutral (M11,2).

Fort=fast reinforcements - 4th mission - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFort=fast reinforcementsDuring the siege we have to go all out - 4th mission - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDuring the siege we have to go all out

When we decide we have a big enough army, we can move against red inquisitor. Port Meyron (M11,3) is well guarded and enemy's hero has many useful abilities. During the battle we should focus on fast eliminating enemy's sisters and shooters, they are the most dangerous troops for us. Then attack celestials (they can resurrect) and glories (they stop counterattack). Rest formations aren't strong and they won't be problematic for us what doesn't relieve us from summoning demon's gates and using abilities.

Nobody expected red inquisition! - 4th mission - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNobody expected red inquisition!This affair wont be a success. - 4th mission - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThis affair won't be a success.

When the city is ours and the inquisitor revives the last one time, he'll try to retake the fortress. We should expect a hammering attack in the next turn. Without replenishing forces we won't win the battle. When the enemy lose, we can start celebrating to proceed to the In the Shadow of the Light.

Secondary quest: Heaven and Hell

Goals: do not convert any enemy's castles and forts

Reward: +10000 XP, 100 tears points, Necklace of Tears (tear abilities are 10% more effective. Requires 250 tear reputation points.)

This quest is completely unprofitable, we'll lose much more than we will gain. Without converting neutral cities (M11,2) we decrease our military potential what makes all the scenario much more difficult. And reward is an useless artifact - quest-disaster.

Hands off! - 4th mission - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHands off!

But if someone likes additional challenges, he can do the quest. The reward he will obtain in the invisible library, so he won't even enjoy it.

Every game in Might and Magic: Heroes VI is a unique adventure. Even if we're gonna fight only on the one map and making the same decisions, game will look different for each time. This is caused by high randomness - great part of creatures and resources is random. Also enemies behaviors vary. That's why you can't create one general rule for an expansion - there are too many factors.

Nevertheless, you can make a common scheme, which you should follow during game - both in battles and city development. About wars you can read in chapter Tactics on the battlefield and about castles - below.

Demons on the contrary to most of races from Ashan needs all resources in almost equal amount. Wood and stone will be used for the basic units structure and crystals to more advanced buildings. It has consequences: in first turns we should focus both on sawmills and stone mines (later also on crystal mines).

Hell all along - City development - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHell all along

Development we have to begin from one recruitment building, because our hero has to have an army to conquer mines. The best choice are Hall of Temptations (succubus) which allows us to buy relatively cheap and strong shooters. Our next structure should be a Town Hall. Thank to it we'll increase our income (1000 gold per turn).

Next choices aren't such simple. If the situation isn't too good for us and we feel that without reinforcements we won't handle this we should build another recruitment structures. Especially good is to invest into Spawning Chambers (breeders) or Pen of Mayhem (juggernauts) because those creatures are powerful and we'll be able to dominate our land quickly. Financial issue can be problematic for us, because our units are very expensive. That's why building a City Hall (2000 gold per turn) is a better idea.

Further turns are a series of difficult decisions. First of all we have to bank on first and second level units (but do not upgrade them!) what will improve our military potential. It's very important to build fortifications in the seventh day - that's how we increase population of units. The problem is a fact that we have to construct dwellings for ours fellows, without it fortifications are useless. So we have to find a golden mean in development. Sometimes even not building anything for turn or two (saving resources) is a key to the victory.

When the first week passed, we can develop more freely. If we hadn't done it yet, we should have built a City Hall and then as many dwellings as we can (without upgrading). When we have five type of troops, the best next structure to build is capitol (4000 gold per turn) and then take care about fortifications. Usually in this moment very profitable move is to conquer new cities. Those we should develop economically first (Town Hall and City Hall) and after than military.

Hellish well development. - City development - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughHellish well development.

When we possess more than one city, we have to invest in town portals which will provide us very fast travelling from place to place. After than we should start upgrading our units. Some of them, like succubuses, hell hounds or breeders really gain a lot thanks to that. Investing in Pit of Bile (Pit Fiends) isn't rather a good idea. The structure costs so much, that we won't build anything else. In Heroes VI quantity is always more important than quality, and that's why flowing our enemies with units is a much better idea than creating small but an elite army.

When we upgrade all our units and fortifications the time will come for Pit Fiends. Those creatures are a top of our army (especially upgraded) and its completion but nevertheless more important will be for us weaker and more units.

Of course during particular games this scheme can change. Sometimes we won't find the resource we are looking for and building the Chaos Crucible will be obligatory for us. However very disputable thing is a usefulness of special Inferno buildings, they are usually very expensive but not effective. Although if we have enough money, those structures will be profitable ones.

Pit Fiends are the most powerful units in Inferno - Pit Fiend / Pit Lord - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Pit Fiends are the most powerful units in Inferno. They are not only very strong but very fast also. One their blow can crush bones of hundreds enemies and those who survived will get into rage which force them to attack their comrades. This devilish trick is one of the most effective demons' weapon.

Pit Lords are real personifcation of a chaos. They hate all non-demon creatures and hurting them and their biggest pleasure. No matter the distance, the evil always find its way.

Basics

Commanding hellish troops is a challenge very different that in other factions. No healing units, weak defence, small HP are main demons' disadvantages. But it doesn't matter, that they are the weakest race in Ashan. On the contrary, they overcome their weaknesses with various virtues like big speed, powerful attack and hellish luck. This mix makes really exploding thing that can blow up all the lands.

But their greatest advantage is a racial ability, demon gates, loading every time your troops cause a critical hit. Thanks to those portal horned beasts can expect reinforcements, which can change the fate of a battle. Demon teleported nearby priests and shooters will surely harm enemy a lot.

Well played chaos army is invincible. - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWell played chaos army is invincible.

The base assumption of every battle is ASAP elimination of enemy's support units and quick rush. During encounters we have nothing to think about, we have to pursue to attack enemies in case of loading the racial ability and then summon another troops. If it isn't enough, we can use offensive spells which also charge demon gates. Thanks to that tactic, hellish force will be unlimited and enemy will fall under its number.

Battle on the Field

In the beginning phase Inferno's tactic does not differentiate from other fractions, we should focus on defense and loosing as little units as we can. Only when we achieve more advanced creatures we can play more aggressive. (look at: Tactics on the battlefield: basics).

Come to daddy. - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughCome to daddy.

When we have a bigger army with breeders, tormentors and juggernauts we should wait until enemy will be in our units range and then attack him mercilessly (preferably one target with all troops). That's how we will charge demon gates. We should summon ASAP big group of monsters and place them nearby enemy's shooters and priests (it excludes them from the battle for few turns). From now on we have to concentrate on eliminating opponents in the middle of battlefield and as demons have powerful attack, it won't be a problem. In addition, as a result of constant battle we'll be able to summon another monsters. Our goal is to make that flow continuous.

Of course melee fighting isn't all, we can't forget about our shooters. Very important is not letting an enemy to them because in such case we'll lose artillery very fast. It especially matters with mother breeders which increase their number in the first turn of the battle. If we upgraded succubus to lilims the defence of our support will be much easier thanks to their ability - enthrall.

Demons weakness is a lack of healing. Thats why fighting with necromancers can be challenging sometimes. - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDemons weakness is a lack of healing. That's why fighting with necromancers can be challenging sometimes.

When our main forces take care about enemy's centre troops, we will have to eliminate the rest of his units. To do that we need to reach his shooters and priests and kill them. It's good to use summon units to that, because they'll take support's retaliations on themselves.

Siege

Inferno sieges are quite different from those using other factions mainly because of demon gates thanks to which demons can manage situation on the battlefield both in defence and attack.

If we are defenders, we should begin from putting mother breeders in the tower, the monsters will be great support. If we don't have this units we can replace them with succubus but it's less effective. Later we have to think about defending our gates. Although its fall is sure, we shouldn't care about this too much. Our goal is to hold enemies unit, what is the easiest in the gates. Especially good to this task are maniacs, ravagers and lacerators. Such defence line will be impossible to break. That's why enemy probably will attack our walls, but it isn't a smart idea because attacking troops will stuck in the moat. To complete the destruction we should use demon gates to eliminate enemy's healers and shooters.

Defending is easier than attacking. - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDefending is easier than attacking.

Reverse situation is when we want to conquer a castle. The most important will be fast charge at the gates (use juggernauts, they have many useful abilities) and possibly ASAP charging racial ability. When the gates fall, we should use juggernaut's unstoppable charge thanks to which demon will instantly break defenders line. Then we have to rush into with our units: cerberuses, maniacs and lacerators. Now enemy will have to fight on two fronts. To make it even more difficult we can summon demon gates what will finish him. If we don't have juggernauts we can use cerberuses instead but our victory won't be that marvellous.

Every hero in Might and Magic: Heroes VI can develop in two ways - tears or blood path. It depends only from our choices during game, which type of reputation hero will gain - this decision affects not only his appearance but also his special abilities, which have quite big meaning for a player. So, before we decide for any of them, we should consider it carefully.

Below you can find tables describing heroes who had chosen their destiny. Abilities are gained during hero's development of course.

Armageddon: All non-infernal creatures on the Combat Map are dealt damage (Fire). All obstacles and walls are dealt damage (Structural).

Heroes of all factions have some set of abilities, which they can learn during next levels. Each of them has its meaning , decides also about the way we play. Individual abilities affect not only hero's a his army abilities but also an available tactics - both on the world map and during battles.

If we decided on might hero we should focus on paragon and warfare abilities. In such way we can count on many passive effects which improve our army.

No one will stand our army. - Abilities - Heroes - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNo one will stand our army.

Priority for Inferno hero (besides of course enlightment) should be destiny's chosen which allows us to charge our racial ability very fast. Also such things like charizmatic leader, assailant and defender will be useful. From warfare the most worthy are counterattack, resilience, cleave, rampage, and parry. You may support them with fire spells like burning determination and inner fire.

If we chose the magic hero, our abilities will be very similar with a one difference. Instead of third level might ability we should consider taking spells from darkness magic(especially puppet master and terror) and prime magic (time stasis and haste). Thanks to such development our hero will both support army and be powerful in magic.

List of all spells and abilities you will find in main guide.

Stronghold's citizens are descendents from the civilized world. Created by the wizards from the Seven Cities during centuries they were punished and used until they regain freedom. But it isn't easy freedom: barbarians settled on the Pao islands and merciless deserts of a far east. What is worse, savages came into being as a result of wicked, magic experiments and because of that majority of them has a demon blood in their veins. Now they have to confront with their dark inheritance, the great, fear causing power.

Estranged and quarrelsome mutant warriors are looking for a general. Strength of muscles and bravery isn't all, also intellect , which will change those factors into useful weapon is needed. That's where is a place for the player: a true lord of rejected.

Commanding those hordes of savages isn't easy. For the braves looking for glory many difficult challenges wait. That's why we made this guide with which no challenge will be too demanding.

Orcs have never been happily welcomed by the humans - Introduction - Stronghold - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOrcs have never been happily welcomed by the humans

Rejected by the court and the father, young Sandor has to flee from the Gryphon Duchy. His comrades is a warrior Kraal, his father's friend. They trust will be tested soon.

Main quest: Stealth, the Orc Way

Goals: find Irene

Reward: 15000 XP, Ring of Celerity (+5 to all army's initiative)

We begin on the north (M1,1). We can move only along the one path, but by the way we'll meet few orcs (join them, join them!) and hostile Haven's troops. Of course, you can go crazy, fighting with humans is a perfect source of XP.

Thanks to them well get our first city. - 1st mission - No Country for Orc Friends - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThanks to them we'll get our first city.

When we get to the crossroads, we can search around (few items to collect) and head to the enemy's castle (M1,2). It's weakly guarded by the Haven's army so the enemy won't stand against our maulers (if we recruited them). After a short battle we seize the castle which we should convert and develop. There is also a dwelling nearby (M1,3) which will be very useful.

When we get our city, Sandor should move south (M1,4) where he obtains Unexpected Liberator quest. Completing this will give him a support of goblins and many other unit which he will be able to recruit. Although it isn't a part of any quest, it's worth to liberate some group of slaves. Rather big troop of elementals guards centaurs and harpies (M1,5), creatures that are very important for our development. That's why we should arm properly and rescue them (during the battle focus on air elementals - they have very strong attack).

When we do it, there will be a time for siege of another city (M1,6). It's also not specially protected so we'll win the battle for sure. It's enough to shot at enemy constantly and charge at his gates. After a battle don't forget about convertion.

If we completed Unexpected Liberator the gate to the north (M1,7) would be open. We should go there immediately, that's where Irene is imprisoned. On our way stand many not-challenging enemies and Marcus (M1,8), son of hated Gerhart. During fight with him, we have to behave very carefully: he has lot of powerful spells and rather big army. Our tactic should based on defense: shot enemies and not let them reach centaurs and goblins. There is also important to hold enemy in the middle of the battlefield with dreamwalkers and maulers. Of course our main target should be enemy's sisters and shooters, but we can't forget about others formations.

People sooner or later will accept our superiority - 1st mission - No Country for Orc Friends - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughPeople sooner or later will accept our superiority

When Marcus lose, we rescue the Irene who is held in the fort on the east (M1,9) (easy battle with the garrison). When Sandor's sister is free, the quest ends and we receive mission The Great Escape.

Main quest: Unexpected Liberator

Goals: rescue four groups of slaves

Reward: +2 to Destiny, 7500 XP, Bone Spaulders (+2 to might defence)

This quest we receives when we move south form our first city. We'll meet there a troop of preatorians guarding goblins (M1,4). When we move close to the humans we will have a choice - we can kill them (+50 blood points) or set a fire to our sawmill to scare them away (50 tears points). When we made decision, there will be nothing left to do besides liberating goblins and looking for rest groups. From now on, we can recruit goblins.

If we burn our sawmill, well lose it. - 1st mission - No Country for Orc Friends - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf we burn our sawmill, we'll lose it.

Second group of harmed barbarians is located a little on the east, nearby entrance to the undergrounds(M1,10). Maulers are guarded by crossbowmen which should very quickly give in to our charm. When it's done, it's worth to conquer nearby Haven's city (M1,6) and go to the cave with a gold mine and warmen guardhouse.

Orcs need our help. - 1st mission - No Country for Orc Friends - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOrcs need our help. Their underground prison has some treasures. - 1st mission - No Country for Orc Friends - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughTheir underground prison has some treasures.

Third slave group is on the south (M1,11): dreamwalkers and maulers are use to building city for humans. We don't have to bother about enemy's hero. On this stage of a game we should crush her. When the battle dust droop, we can collect resources and troops. Big plus is a joining of dreamwalkers which will be available in our cities from this moment.

The last troop of slaves is on the southern east (M1,12), it's a small goblins group guarded by griffins. Encounter with winged creatures is rather easy. They have so little HP that our maulers smash them in few blows. When we rescue ll slaves the quest ends, and the gate on the far north opens (look at: Stealth, the Orc Way).

Main quest: The Great Escape

Attention! This quest is available after finishing Stealth, the Orc Way!

Goals: reach the port and flee from the continent

Reward: 10000 XP

When we release Irene (M1,9) we'll have to run away from Gerhart and his troops. To do that, we need to reach the only one port in this region (M1,13) and sail to the island Hashima, where Sandor's sister will find an asylum. There are no doubts that Haven's armies will do everything what they can to stop us.

We dont have to conquer castles but its a good idea. - 1st mission - No Country for Orc Friends - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe don't have to conquer castles but it's a good idea.This castles are awful, anyway. - 1st mission - No Country for Orc Friends - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThis castles are awful, anyway.

To reach the port, we should go through the gate (M1,14) opened thanks to the quest Stealth, the Orc Way. Behind it we'll see enemy's city (M1,15) which is very well protected. We'll need all our forces from all castles to stand its garrison. Admittedly, conquering this castle isn't obligatory (you can run straight to the port) but only doing it we'll be able to replenish our army and do the quest Rampage. During the encounter we should sent dreamwalkers and maulers under the gates and fire at enemy's sisters and shooters with the rest of our troops. When we rush inside the walls, the slaughter begins. We have to only watch out on preatorians who increases nearby allies defence.

Orcs guitars rock. - 1st mission - No Country for Orc Friends - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOrcs guitars rock.

When the city is ours, we can regenerate and prepare to further expansion. At the very south, nearby the shipyard (M1,13) we can find last enemy's city(M1,16). Scheme of a siege is the same as in the previous one. When the walls fall, we only need to kill all the defenders and rise the anchor. Hashima and Pao Islands are waiting for us!

Secondary quest: Rampage

Goals: conquer all Haven's cities

Reward: 15000 XP, +2 to might attack, +100 blood points

Our goal is very simple and complete almost by the way. All enemy's cities are marked on map M2,1. Most of them we'll get during The Great Escape, Unexpected Liberator and Stealth, the Orc Way quests. Two last cities (those on the east) can be troublesome, with their numerous garrison. But if we wisely destroy gates and eliminate sisters and shooters we'll handle this.

Of course we should convert all conquered cities, thanks to that we'll be able to recruit more and more troops.

Secondary quest: The Choice

Goals: reach first level of tears or blood reputation

Reward: +2 to Destiny

Mission accomplishes itself - every choice get us closer to the finish. Remember, that reputation points we gain not only in buildings (like arena or arcane library) but also thanks to quests (Rampage, Unexpected Liberator) and decisions connected with neutral armies (8 blood points for chasing, 10 tears points for letting free).

Now its time for forging your own destiny - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughNow it's time for forging your own destiny

After saving Irene, Sandor decided to move to the Pao Islands, settled by barbarians. Unfortunately, savages didn't welcome his warmly.

Main quest: Terra Firma

Goals: reach the village

Reward: 20000 XP, Centaur Bow (shooters counterattack in melee without any penalties)

We begin mission on the southern east (M3,1). We should go straight along the only one possible path (by the way eliminating neutral creatures) until we find earth elementals. After defeating them, we find ourselves on the crossroads (M3,2). We should definitely go on north where lot of treasures and enemies wait for us. After cleaning up the area, we can go back to the crossroads and move straight. After few steps we get into an ambush which can't be avoided.

Farewell with Irene was rather nervous. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFarewell with Irene was rather nervous.When we head west we get into the ambush. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhen we head west we get into the ambush.

Quest ends with a short talk with our attacker. We receive those missions: Might Makes Right, Time for New Ways and Wild Card.

Main quest: Wild Card

Attention! This quest is available after finishing Terra Firma!

Goals: make any of quests Might Makes Right, Time for New Ways

Reward: 50000 XP, Malathua's Cleaver (+3 to might defence)

When we obtain land on the north (M3,3) the time will come for managing it. At the beginning we have little of resources but if we seize nearby mines and collect resources our situation will improve. We should develop our castle ASAP (how it's described in the City development chapter) and then start looking for adventures.

When we reach the shipyard therell be an ocean of possibilities. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhen we reach the shipyard there'll be an ocean of possibilities.

During our voyages we have to be careful. Other players will be neutral until we attack them. It gives us a big amount of maneuvers and let to attack neutral creatures and seize western forts (M3,4). But sooner or later it won't be enough, and we will have to stand on one of sides. If we choose rebellions (quest Time for New Ways) we can attack purple (M3,5). Otherwise, we should attack yellow player (mission Might Makes Right; M3,6). Important is a fact that we can't change our choice. What is more - if Sandor has already first level of reputation, only one quest will be available for him (Time for New Ways for tears and Might Makes Right for blood).

Peace time is an exploration time. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughPeace time is an exploration time.Eventually we have to make a choice. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEventually we have to make a choice.

When one of those quests ends, we should prepare to the final encounter. Now we should do the quest More Army thanks to which we'll be able to recruit jaguar warriors and cyclopss. When we finish arming, we can stand against enemy's leader whose castle is on the unavailable island on the north (M3,7). To reach it, we have to go through the portal M3,X2 from which enemy will attack us. After moving through it, we'll see a dense jungle. After few turns hacking through on the south we'll reach our opponent (M3,7) who has the best Stronghold's troops in army.

Enemy hid in a powerful citadel. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughEnemy hid in a powerful citadel. Well seize it thanks to our number advantage. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe'll seize it thanks to our number advantage.

During this battle we should look out on enemy's centaurs who for sure will hurt us. Besides that don't forget about maulers and dreamwalkers. Our response should be charge at the gates, but this time using cyclops. Those powerful beasts can crush enemy's fortification very fast as a living ram. When the gates fall, we should flow inside the walls and sink our enemy in a number of ours units. After winning this battle scenario ends.

Secondary quest: Might Makes Right

Attention! This quest is available after finishing Terra Firma!

Goals: defeat Airini

Reward: Sandor steps on a blood path, Thunder Staff (+10% to air magic effectiveness, +5% to its cost)

If we complete this quest, Airini won't help us in the further scenario but in the quest More Army we'll be supported by the powerful cyclops Acamas. Our enemy is located on the southern west edge of a map (M3,6). To find her, we need to sail through the sea and make a landing on a rebellions' island. It isn't too difficult, because they remain neutral until we attack them.

We wont have any problems with reaching our enemy. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe won't have any problems with reaching our enemy.

Before we fight Airini, we should prepare our army well (look at: Wild Card). During the battle we have to be careful: enemy has the same troops as we so a number advantage is a key to the victory. Scheme of the siege is classical, we should send maulers and dreamwalkers under the gates and fire at enemies with other formations (harpies can fly over the walls). Our main trouble will be for sure opponent's maulers but we can't forget about other troops.

When Airini fall, Sharka decides to betray us. We'll fight not only with him (M3,7) but also with all tribe of Red Jaguar Warriors (M3,5).

Secondary quest: Time for New Ways

Attention! This quest is available after finishing Terra Firma!

Goals: release rebellions and defeat Ira.

Reward: Sword of Whistlebone (deals once extra 600 damage (Air) to the target and all adjacent enemy creatures), Sandor enters the path of tears

Island of Red Jaguar Warriors is on the east (M3,5), that's where we find rebellions imprisoned by Ira (M3,8). To complete the quest, we have to free barbarians, and they are guarded by quite big troops of maulers. During the battles it's worth to keep them on distance. After every encounter we should talk to the savages - they'll join us what will replenish our loses.

Slaves arent guarded too well. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughSlaves aren't guarded too well.

When we collect all three groups, enemy's hero will ride out from the nearby city (M3,5). During fighting with him we should play carefully, keeping him in the middle of the battlefield securing our backs by that. His most dangerous units are maulers and dreamwalkers, and on them we should focus our attack. But if we are able to reach enemy's centaurs they are our priority.

We wont it or not, well have to fight Ira eventually. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe won't it or not, we'll have to fight Ira eventually.

After victory we need to conquer the city, using normal barbarian tactic (look at: Tactics on the battlefield). When the quest ends rebellions (yellow player, M3,6) joins us with all his armies and hero. Unfortunately our actions cause that cyclops Acamas won't join us in the quest More Army.

Secondary quest: More Army

Attention! This quest is available after finishing Might Makes Right or Time for New Ways

Goals: gain support of jaguar warriors and cyclops

Reward: 30000 XP, +2 to Destiny

How gain jaguar warriors trust you can read in a Strength Only quest whereas informations about cyclops are below.

To find a leader of one-eyed we need to sail to the island of western archipelago (M3,9). There, nearby the volcanic top, we'll find Acamas, powerful, black skinned cyclops with many of his fellows. Retreat would be a flaw on our honor so we should prepare to uneasy battle.

Apparently cyclops like lava bathing. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughApparently cyclops like lava bathing.

All cyclops in enemy's army obtain damages at the beginning of their turns, so we won't avoid loses in this battle. So we should move forward maulers ASAP, who will take most of blows. Of course we have to support them with healing spells to not let them die.

This is a situation we should avoid. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThis is a situation we should avoid.Acamas is a very powerful hero - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAcamas is a very powerful hero

You could think that sending maulers against cyclops is a top of stupidity, but in fact it's well-considered tactic. Our assumption is very simple: those creatures deal the biggest damages in our army and simultaneously they will inhibit cyclops' attention from other troops. Constantly healing they should attack as first and only then to action should go harpies or dreamwalkers. It's because that ones-eyed have only one retaliation.

Its worth to join the cyclops to our army. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt's worth to join the cyclops to our army.

If we made the Might Makes Right, defeated Acamas would join us as a new hero. He is very precious gift, he has many useful abilities and a huge army composed of cyclops. That's why blood path seems to be more interesting.

Secondary quest: Strength Only

Attention! This quest is available after finishing Terra Firma!

Goals: defeat Ira and talk to Arana

Reward: 10000 XP, Amulet of the Jaguar (+4 to might attack),12 jaguar warriors

We obtain this quest form a leader of southern-east village, (M3,10). Our goal is to defeat Ira from Red Jaguar Warriors tribe. We'll find her on the northern-east island, inside the castle (M3,5). To go there we have to do the quest Might Makes Right or Time for New Ways, only then gates leading to an enemy will be opened.

Villages leader will welcome us with open claws. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughVillage's leader will welcome us with open claws.

In battle with Ira we should focus on his maulers and dreamwalkers and also on centaurs. So we should heal our troops as often as possible, simultaneously fighting in the middle of the battlefield. If we command our attack wisely we will eliminate enemy's troops one after the other, what is a key to the victory.

Red Jaguar Warriors will resist for sure. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughRed Jaguar Warriors will resist for sure.The faster we eliminate them, the better. - 2nd mission - The Good, The Bad and the Bloody - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe faster we eliminate them, the better.

When enemy is defeated, we can go back to Arana who'll offer his help. We'll take over his village and from now on we can recruit jaguar warriors in our cities. Their support is essential for the quest More Army.

After defeating Sharka heroes move deep into the land - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter defeating Sharka heroes move deep into the land

Barbarous tribes are quarrelled from generations, blood flowing in streams. Sandor decided to unite those tribes under his commandership. Will he make it?

Main quest: The Seven Veterans

Goals: find seven veterans

Reward: 50000 XP, +2 to Destiny, Gauntlets of the Khan (+6 to might attack, +1 to units' caused damages)

Quest is easy, simple and pleasant. We need to find seven chiefs who command over this land. Theirs locations is marked on the maps below. Every time we talk with one of generals we will be able to upgrade one of our unit (e.g. we met a crusher we can upgrade maulers).

Veterans are in forts. - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughVeterans are in forts.The last one is in the undergrounds. - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe last one is in the undergrounds.

Essential is fact of not making it to quickly. If we upgrade most of our army, the quest United We Stand will be much more difficult (we won't be able to join new troops).

Main quest: Symbol of Freedom

Goals: defend our first city

Reward: 20000 XP

Very tiresome and tedious mission. Our task is to hold the only one city on the map which is our capitol (M5,1). Our Sanctuary enemy will attack us every few turns, getting stronger. Luckily, he can attack us from few appointed places (M5,X4) so we shouldn't have problems with preparing defence. Usually it is profitable to teleport our heroes from the city to the shore forts. Such preparation will allow us to defend easily. During battles we should focus on eliminating enemy's priestesses and shark guards but avoid Kenshi (they have unlimited retaliation, it's better to shoot them down) and spring spirits (they reflect part of dealt damage).

Capitol is well fortified from the beginning. - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughCapitol is well fortified from the beginning. Its enough to defend it properly. - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt's enough to defend it properly.

Quite big advantage is fact that our castle is fully developed so we don't have to bother about our army's size. But if it isn't enough we can support ourselves with troops from the United We Stand quest and then upgrade them (Seven Veterans). Such constructed army will surely defeat any enemies.

Main quest: The last charge

Goals: defeat Mukao

Reward: 30000 XP, Crag's Hack Helmet (+7 to might attack, +5 to initiative)

When we resist all attacks in the Symbol of Freedom he'll make the last one, desperate charge. Mukao's army is little stronger than those earlier but the battle won't be demanding for us. Our city is his target (M5,1) so we should concentrate all our forces inside.

Kill them all! - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughKill them all! We are perfectly prepared. - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe are perfectly prepared.

During the siege we should eliminate enemy's sisters ASAP or they'll resurrect their companions. Next we need to focus on defending gates and torment him with furies (they can fly over the wall and attack without counterattack). We have be careful and watch out the spring spirits by the way - attacking them directly can be painful.

Fighting like that well lose lot of units against spring spirits. - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughFighting like that we'll lose lot of units against spring spirits.

If we will defend good we will succeed and proceed to the last one mission.

Secondary quest: United We Stand

Goals: Join 40 Stronghold's troops

Reward: 30000 XP, +2 to Leadership

Barbarian neutral units are practically located all over the map and there is much more of them than the mission requests. So collecting those troops won't be difficult at all and will takes maximum three weeks (of course if we engage both heroes).

Its worth to talk with Veterans - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt's worth to talk with Veterans

Nevertheless there is a little catch. During making quest Seven Veterans we will be able to upgrade our units. We shouldn't do that, because it'll make the quest United We Stand more difficult. That's why we should do mission in a proper sequence.

Secondary quest: Mother and Son

Goals: defeat or tame the sea serpent

Reward: 20000 XP, Cloak of Warding (+10 to magic defence)

This mission is tightly linked with Cup of Thunder. We obtain both missions just after going into undergrounds (M5,X) which lead to the necromancers' island (M5,X2). Dark wizards with Sandor's mother at the front will ask Sandor to help defeat Shalassa's spirit (M5,2).

Dragon is in the lake at the south of the island. - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDragon is in the lake at the south of the island.

How to tame serpent you can read in Cup of Thunder. Here something about aggressive way of solving this problem. When we reach Shalassa's spirit, we can attack him (blood path). Beast is rather demanding foe and we should keep him at distance, because he freezes our units with every blow. It's more problematic due to fact, that the serpent push away our army. Add to that ability of summoning water elementals, and you can see the problem.

We should behave rather defensively against that beast - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe should behave rather defensively against that beast

Besides distant attacks, we should torment the creature with abilities and units who don't cause a counterattack. Furies are ideal here but you can't forget about Enraged Cyclops and panther warriors. If all those troops supported by centaurs and goblins will cause damages in every turn, you'll win quickly.

Secondary quest: Cup of Thunder

Goals: bring the Cup of Thunder to the serpent

Reward: 20000 XP, +100 tear points, Tear of Asha

This mission is tightly linked with Mother and Son. . We obtain both missions just after going into undergrounds (M5,X) which lead to the necromancers' island (M5,X2). Dark wizards with Sandor's mother at the front will ask Sandor to help defeat Shalassa's spirit (M5,2). Elizabeth will give us a magic cup to tame the creature.

Yo buddy! - 3rd mission - The Barbarous Seven - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughYo buddy!

To complete this quest you need to reach the serpent and give him the cup (choose the tear path during talking). At this moment the quest ends.

This is one of the toughest missions in all game. Although our goal seems to be easy the computer will do everything to make it more difficult. Our city (M8,1) will be constantly sieged and the situation is going to be worse. It won't be easy.

Defence wont be easy - 4th mission - A Wormfull of Deamons - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughDefence won't be easyWe will have many forts conquered - 4th mission - A Wormfull of Deamons - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughWe will have many forts conquered

We should begin from the conquering the island ASAP. There are plenty of crystals, lot of foes and, the most important, two forts (M8,2) and a demon's city (M8,3). Even conquering it won't steady the situation, because there are one way teleport on both southern and northern ends of our island (M8,X3 and M8,X5) through which enemy will try to invade us. What is worse, in random places demons' portals will be opening, so we can expect an attack every few turns. To say truth, we can close those gates paying 10 crystal for each, but it's worthless act.

Converting isnt always right - it costs many crystals - 4th mission - A Wormfull of Deamons - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughConverting isn't always right - it costs many crystalsJust like closing the gates. - 4th mission - A Wormfull of Deamons - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughJust like closing the gates.

Localization of crystal mines is marked on the map M9,6, they will be a core of our development. Of course we should expand as widest as we can, conquering another islands and collecting crystals. Unfortunately even eliminating all demons won't stop them from tormenting us through the gates.

The best way to prevent enemy's invasions is to recruit as many heroes as you can and put them into cities (they can teleport thank to the town portals) or nearby teleports. Demons waves will be getting stronger so we should replenish our guards regularly. Otherwise enemy will break our defence and spread out on our territory.

It's worth mentioned, that we can also buy crystals in marketplace. But even if this is not enough, we can make The Jolly Raven which provides us 30 crystal or visit the ruins (M8,4) on the north where we find 50 of them.

The more crystal we collect, the more unpredictable situation will be. At 300 big worm swallows one of ours mines and we'll have to reach it in undergrounds. What is curious, there is a huge amount of this resource. At 400 situation repeats but at 500 our capitol get destroyed what activates the final quest of this campaign: Unlimited Hunger.

Main quest: Unlimited Hunger

Goals: defeat the abyssal worm within a week

Reward: 40000 XP

When we finished One Last Tear our capitol (M8,1) will be destroyed and huge hole appears there. We should go through it and there finally eliminate some hellish monster.

During the battle we have to preserve maximum of carefulness: monster can act twice a turn and has very powerful distant attack, which he can use also after moving. It's most comfortable to attack him from distance (centaurs, goblins, enraged cyclops) because direct contact affect us to the fiery blood of a monster. If it is not enough we can throw all our troops at the worm.

All in all, the encounter isnt that difficult - 4th mission - A Wormfull of Deamons - Campaign - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughAll in all, the encounter isn't that difficult

When the beast dies, the scenario and all campaign ends.

Secondary quest: The Jolly Raven

Goals: find a wreck of the legendary ship

Reward: 30000 XP, 30 crystal, Logbook of the Master Sailor (+8 to movement on the sea, sailing through the whirlpools doesn't take movement points).

Localization of the wreck is totally random, the only clue can be a fact that it's located on the coast of some island. After finding it, we'll obtain our reward immediately.

Every game in Might and Magic: Heroes VI is a unique adventure. Even if we're gonna fight only on the one map and making the same decisions, game will look different for each time. This is caused by high randomness - great part of creatures and resources is random. Also enemies behaviors vary. That's why you can't create one general rule for an expansion - there are too many factors.

Nevertheless, you can make a common scheme, which you should follow during game - both in battles and city development. About wars you can read in chapter Battlefield Tactics and about castles - below.

As in case of Inferno, Strongholds' cities requires almost equal amount of every resource. Thanks to wood and stone you'll buy basic units but more advanced are available only thanks to the crystal. Of course, on each level of development you need gold, which will be used both to recruiting units and constructing buildings. Conclusion is simple: firstly take care of sawmills and stone mines and gold mines and after that about crystal ones.

Thats how looks like fully developed city - City development - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThat's how looks like fully developed city

First turns often decide about the all scenario, that's why I have a few words to say about them. At the beginning we should build War Tent (maulers) thanks to whom we'll be able to hire cheap and strong warriors and use them to conquer mines. In the second turn we should definitely buy Town Hall which generates 1000 gold per turn.

It's highly probable that your actual troops won't be sufficient in the third turn. That's why we should strengthen army, preferably by building Dream Lodge (dreamwalkers). It's a expensive one, but its residents have lot of HP what makes them an important support. If it isn't enough, you can hire goblins (Goblin Slums) or harpies (Harpy Nest) but investment City Hall seems to be more profitable.

When we build City Hall (2000 gold per turn) and at least two recruitment constructions, the time will come for building basic fortification. It's very important to make them in the seventh day at the latest, because they increase our population. Of course there have to be some dwellings, walls alone won't play for us.

In the following turns we should focus mainly on increasing our military potential: the more dwellings we build, the better. When we have all structures for 1-2 level units, the time will come for building a capitol. It generates 4000 gold per turn, what is a powerful income. Earned in such way moneys we should spent on upgrading our walls to its highest level (increasing our population greatly).

When it's done, we can start finishing what means upgrading dwellings. In Heroes VI quantity is much more important than quality and that's why we haven't invested in expensive upgraded buildings yet.

Managing such- view consume a lot of time. - City development - Cities - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughManaging such- view consume a lot of time.

When we upgrade our dwellings, we should build the most powerful: Cyclops Mounds. Creatures residing there are the most powerful Stronghold's unit who can decide about the result of the battles itself.

If in the meanwhile we conquer some city, we should invest in Town Portals which let us to move immediately from city to city. About developing further cities: we should care mostly about economical side of them (build Town Hall and then City Hall) and only after that care about the militaries. Such way will save us from bankruptcy.

Special buildings are way more useful than in other factions. Especially consider constructing Hall of Riders and Wallbreaker. First will make us richer (sometimes you can built it in the second turn), the second makes sieges easier. In the topic of simplifications: very useful to our development can be marketplace thanks to which we can not only trade resources but also it provides 500 gold per turn. On the other hand it's bad idea to invest in Hall of Heroes.

Those powerful units are Stronghold's cavalry with theirs remarkable speed and mobility what makes them ideal to attack weaker troops. They can charge what causes huge damages to enemies.

But you shouldn't overestimate this creatures. Low armor and HP makes them an easy target to stronger enemies. That's why we have to care about them specially. Otherwise they'll die instantly.

Cyclops are the most powerful units in the Stronghold - Cyclop / Enraged Cyclop - Units - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Cyclops are the most powerful units in the Stronghold. Impressing resistance and HP connected with crushing attack and mighty abilities makes them an obligatory element of all barbarian's armies.

Enraged Cyclops are even stronger than their smaller brothers. First of all they have magic distance attack. It's often very surprisingly for enemies.

Basics

Barbarians made their hallmark from merciless fighting. Created to defeat demons they have many useful abilities which can be used. The most important is of course rage increasing initiative of all savages and also attack and number of retaliation on higher levels. Enraged beast from Stronghold find no one equal at the battlefield, because they're too fast and strong for anyone to stand them. That's why orcs and fellows should attack enemies ASAP.

Of course, during battles we can't forget about carefulness. Barbarians troops are very strong but not so tough. That's why the most effective tactic is to attack one, the closest enemy's unit with whole army. In such way, opposite (with usually one counterattack) will cause us minimal damages and we'll easily reach level of rage. Thanks to it the encounter will be much easier: our creatures will cause many damages before enemy will be able to react. It has to be said that the rage lasts only one turn, so it's best to charge it in one phase and use in the following one (otherwise it will be wasted).

Crushers are both basic and powerful Stronghold unit. - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughCrushers are both basic and powerful Stronghold unit.

As it was mentioned, barbarians' troops has small HP and we should care about them. It's rather difficult as they don't have any healers in army, so hero must become one. Heal spells from light and earth magic can be very helpful and sometimes even decide how the battle ends. If we want to keep our troops alive, our hero should focus on resurrecting.

During battles we should eliminate enemy's healers ASAP: they're a quality we don't have which is very helpful for an opponent. If we do it, we'll torn rest of troops apart, because our army has much better statistics.

Battles on the Field

General tactic of Stronghold's armies is very simple: let enemy approach in a range of blow and then attack him at once with all units. In this way enemy's army will fall apart under the strength of our forces. It's important to eliminate opponents one after another, the less troops at once, the better.

The biggest initiative in our army have panther warriors, they are fast enough to outrun most of enemy's formations also. But it's not always worth to charge with them at opponent's healers and shooters. Big speed means that they reach targets first so they will become an easy target to decimate and eliminate. Sometimes it's isn't worth that risk and it's better idea to wait for enemy's move.

Our shamans can stand way more powerful enemies - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOur shamans can stand way more powerful enemies

When enemy approaches at a distance in which all our forces can reach him, we'll attack. The best is to use mentioned earlier panther warriors, who can attack without retaliation. Then send crushers to the battle with their powerful attack and double blow. Both those troops we should heal as often as possible, because they're a spine of our army.

When two first formations are involved into fighting, we should sent rest of our army to battle. Dreamreavers cause quite huge magic damages and have big resistance and HP, that's why it's worth to send them against the toughest enemies (if they do not have magic resistance). Shooters, namely centaurs and goblins, should fire at the weakest opponents. Goblins can be used even earlier to setting up traps which can be used to block the strongest units in enemy's army.

Proper placing is a key to the victories - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughProper placing is a key to the victories

In case of furies, their task should be tormenting enemies, they stop retaliation what makes them perfect to that task. Whereas cyclops can make the crucial blows. Impervious to Pain makes them also very strong in defence. If we upgraded them, they'll become a perfect artillery with all qualities of the basic unit.

Siege

No one is as good as barbarians in conquering castles. Wallbreaker increases damages caused to walls and cyclops have a bonus against obstacles. Those facts makes rushing into the castle an easy task for savages. And inside their will easily smash enemies, thanks to their powerful attack and many offensive abilities.

The die has been cast - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe die has been cast

Every siege we should begin with sending cyclops under the gates, which they'll break in few moments. It good idea to support them with furies who can fly over the walls and attack without retaliation. Of course just after the one-eyed it's worth to send -panther warriors and crushers. Such attack should defeat every enemy. Also centaurs and goblins will be helpful. It's also worth to take a look at dreamreavers who can increase our army initiative what will definitely help in conquering enemy's fortifications. If we don't have cyclops then shamans and maulers will replace them. Of course hero has to support his army, both thanks to passive abilities and healing/damaging spells.

Orcs are surprisingly good in defence. - Tactics on the battlefield - Battles - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughOrcs are surprisingly good in defence.

If we are defenders, we'll also win rather easily. The basic thing is placing centaurs in the tower, what is going to increase their attack. Next, we should pester enemy's life to which perfectly fit Sky and Earth used by dreamreavers. Rest of the troops should concentrate on defense. Put cyclops under the gates to counterattack enemies' blows (if they're upgraded they're better as a shooters) and panther warriors with crushers just behind them. If enemy stuck in the moat, it'll be a death sentence for him. It's a perfect moment to attack him with furies. Such constructed front should bring us victory if our troops will be resurrected.

Every hero in Might and Magic: Heroes VI can develop in two ways - tears or blood path. It depends only from our choices during game, which type of reputation hero will gain - this decision affects not only his appearance but also his special abilities, which have quite big meaning for a player. So, before we decide for any of them, we should consider it carefully.

Below you can find tables describing heroes who had chosen their destiny. Abilities are gained during hero's development of course.

Heroes of all factions have some set of abilities, which they can learn during next levels. Each of them has its meaning , decides also about the way we play. Individual abilities affect not only hero's a his army abilities but also an available tactics - both on the world map and during battles.

If we chose might hero, we would firstly invest into healing spells. It's forced by not having any healers in the Stronghold army. Especially useful are spells like heal (light magic) or regeneration (earth magic).

Tactic bookmark can be useful. - Abilities - Heroes - Might & Magic: Heroes VI - Game Guide and WalkthroughTactic bookmark can be useful.

Later on we should focus on the paragon abilities. Traditionally the most important is enlightment. Further steps are rather easy: charismatic leadership will let us to charge racial ability faster whereas destiny's chosen makes our critical hits ore often. Next it's worth to consider such abilities like defender and assailant. From bookmark "Tactic" you can choose an ambush and battle march. When it's done, take counterstrike (all three levels are good idea). As an experiments you may invest in toughness, flawless attack, cleave and resilience: all of them should improve our army.

If we decided on magic hero then we should focus, besides enlightment, on healing spells and then combine might abilities with magic ones. Especially it's worth to consider darkness magic which concentrates on weakening enemies. Little minus is fact that shaman has no access to the prime magic what makes them rather weak sorcerers. Because of that, magic heroes should focus on might abilities.
