Haunted Mines Map and Objectives - Heroes of the Storm

The Haunted Mines are a 5v5 battleground with two levels. In the underground part of the dungeon you will find the unique objective for this battlefield that allows you to summon Grave Golems to break through enemy defences.

Haunted Mines

There are two lanes in this map above ground at the edge of the map. All of the objectives are between the two lanes. In each lane, there are entrances into the mines which contain winding tunnels with a large central boss room.

Players will fight over killing the minions in the mines in order to summon a stronger Grave Golem than their enemy. The mines will be the location of many fights due to the nature of competing over minion kills underground. At the same time, the threats of above ground pushes requires players to pay close attention to the movement of the enemy team.

Unique Map Objective

Players will need to kill as many minions underground as possible in order to summon a stronger Grave Golem than their enemy team.

Underground Minions

When the minions spawns underground, a total of 100 points can be obtained. Normal minions in the tunnels will grant one point per kill and the giant boss at the center of the mines will grant a large amount of points.

Grave Golem

When all of the minions are killed in the mines, after a short delay, a Grave Golem is summoned both sides in different lanes. The Grave Golem's strength is dependent on the amount of points the team has collected in the mines. At the start, the Golem spawns in the base of its owner. It will walk down the lane smashing buildings and enemies until it dies. After a certain amount of time, the minions will respawn underground. The next time the Grave Golems spawn, they will start right where they died last time.

Secondary Objectives

There are six mercenary camps on this battleground and one watchtower.

Mercenary Camps

Players will find two types of mercenary camps on this battleground, as well as the Grave Golem.

• The Siege Giants are found in pairs on each side of the map, in a total of four camps. Each lane has two camps that affect it.
• The Knights are found at the centre of the map. Near the watchtower, the two camps attack the closest lane to them once captured.

Watchtowers

There is only one watchtower on this battleground. Located right in the centre, it grants vision of the surrounding area and the nearby Knights camp.
