Elixir of Life (campaign)

Backstory

Gelu has spent many months training to become a member of Erathia's elite Forest Guard. For his final test, he is tasked to assemble an artifact known as the Elixir of Life. He must find the artifact's four components to keep it out of the hands of the Necromancers.

Quest/Objective

Create the combination artifact Elixir of Life by finding its three components, the Ring of Vitality, the Ring of Life and the Vial of Lifeblood.

Maps

There are four different maps, one for each part of the Elixir of Life.

1. Graduation Exercise
2. Cutthroats
3. Valley of the Dragon Lords
4. A Thief in the Night

Heroes

Gelu the Ranger, speciality Sharpshooters.

Strategy

Make best use of Gelu's speciality, let your support heroes bring him Elves to transform into Sharpshooters. They make a huge difference.

Bugs

This campaign features a bug unique among SoD campaigns (with a slight exception of the secret campaign, which doesn't have the mentioned limitations at all): in its first scenario (Graduation Exercise) neither high-level Mage Guild) nor overpowered, campaign-breaking spells (namely Dimension door and Fly) are banned (they are properly banned in scenarios 2-4 in EoL though). As a result, it's completely possible to do an insane rush through this campaign on Impossible Difficulty (similarly to RoA or AB campaigns), especially when combined with an Intelligence-based Magic secondary hero with Air Magic and Earth Magic (e.g. Caitlin, which also gives a great starting bonus to Gold).Template:Keywords
