Ok, made it to freedom isles but no mana spring

. I've scouted a fair bit on freedom isles but can't seem to locate it. I got blind and target, blind let me beat the abandoned castle ( kill the paintings! much xp!), and enabled me to get to level 10 (0 losses) before freedom isle on time.

Might have to just plough through freedom isle and not concern myself too much with casualties, or skip 20 turns every battle to get back the mana. I've already burnt through about 9 mana potions.

Dam you are good, not many players did level 10 before Day 3 at 7H, not me yet.

Even Calinda did it but not with zero loss. And with no Mana Spring is even more amazing, well ok you had to use many potions but still.

It's 22H Day 2, all done in Darion but Rezo, Magic Range, Abandoned Castle and Enemen. So I could do at least one of those but now the problem is how. So Razorflame I'm waiting your detailed explanations.

That's pretty fast

When I killed the furious paladin and turned him into a zombie I managed to get blind. In abandoned castle, the armies tend to be large stacks of level 1-2 monsters, so disabling spells work very well.

I checked by loading back and that's fun but I also get blind when the paladin turn undead (I'm used to let him live). Is it always this spell? Well I suppose not. I'll try your suggestion as I also have few large packs, I don't remember if it's in all cases but at least for one.

In general blind cost a lot of mana for an effect of only 2 turns so I don't use it. But slow is useless against long range. I'll remember to add blind in my tools next try I'll do. I see that last fight is invincible, probably dodging it for finishing the quest.

In fact I can manage relatively well one fight but I need use Cursed Ghost and lost about 10 of them at end of battle. In this way I don't loose a single other troop alas that's not very useful as I have gift+inq and not sacrifice. The fight after was a disaster but for that one I'll have to think about your suggestion as there's only 3 stacks. The third is an easy fight and I haven't tried yet the additional fights you can get by checking paintings in the castle.

Instead of trying again I tried reload back to manage better some details like some better troop preparation, better circuit in cemetery, prepare better the mage animals quest and... kill Tiberius in cemetery (the only hero I skipped).

Ghosts are only good vs living units, 7 battles with ghosts against undead is gonna leave you without any ghosts.

I'd use royal snakes, especially if you've got fenora, + snake ring, or + poison damage. Putting blind on 500 skel archers is a good thing, as you prob can't fireball them away completely. Snakes are resurrectable too.

My warrior was pretty beefed up with leadership, I think it was around ?4000? when I did abandoned castle.
