Campaign Mission Objectives & Rewards

Mission 1: The Serpent's Pass

Objective: Secure the Serpent's Pass and establish a forward operating base.

  • Walkthrough:
    1. Initial Deployment: You begin with Arkantos, a few spearmen, and an Oracle. Immediately move Arkantos to the glowing waypoint to trigger a short cinematic.
    2. Scout Ahead: Use your Oracle to scout the immediate vicinity. You'll discover a small group of hostile Minotaurs guarding a gold mine to the northeast.
    3. Clear the Path: Engage the Minotaurs with your spearmen. Focus fire on one Minotaur at a time to minimize incoming damage. Arkantos's special ability, Heroic Strike, is excellent for quickly dispatching these early threats.
    4. Resource Gathering: Once the Minotaurs are defeated, establish a mining camp at the gold mine and begin gathering gold. Simultaneously, send your villagers to gather wood from the nearby forest.
    5. Build a Barracks: With sufficient resources, construct a Barracks near your Town Center. Train additional Spearmen and a few Slingers to counter any ranged units you might encounter.
    6. Advance to the Pass: Push further north towards the Serpent's Pass. You'll encounter small patrols of Cyclopes. Use your Slingers to target them from a distance while your Spearmen engage any melee units.
    7. Secure the Pass: At the entrance to the Pass, you'll find a small enemy outpost consisting of a Watch Tower and a few enemy units. Focus your fire on the Watch Tower first to neutralize its threat, then eliminate the remaining units. Once clear, a new objective will appear to construct a Town Center within the pass.
    8. Establish Forward Base: Build a Town Center at the designated location within the Serpent's Pass. This completes the primary objective.
  • Rewards:
    • Experience: +500 XP
    • God Power: Healing (Allows you to heal a group of your units over time.)
    • Relic: Amulet of the Serpent (Grants +10% attack bonus to all Myth Units in your control for the remainder of the mission.) - Found in a hidden chest near the initial Minotaur camp, accessible after defeating them.
    • Resource Bonus: +150 Gold, +100 Wood

Mission 2: The Oracle's Warning

Objective: Investigate the strange occurrences in the nearby village and protect the Oracle.

  • Walkthrough:
    1. Village Distress: After securing the Serpent's Pass, you receive a distress call from a nearby village. Immediately move your main army, including Arkantos, towards the village located to the west of your new Town Center.
    2. First Encounter: Upon reaching the village outskirts, you'll be ambushed by a small force of Atlantean Murmillos and Prometheans. Prioritize the Prometheans with ranged units as they explode upon death, dealing area damage. Arkantos's Heroic Strike is effective against the Murmillos.
    3. Rescue the Villagers: Several villagers are under attack within the village. Engage the remaining enemy units to free them. Once rescued, they will automatically begin gathering resources for you.
    4. Locate the Oracle: The Oracle is held captive in a ruined temple at the center of the village. You'll need to clear a path through more Atlantean forces, including a few more Prometheans and a powerful Automaton guarding the temple entrance.
    5. Defeat the Automaton: The Automaton is a formidable foe with high armor. Focus all your units' fire on it. Consider using Arkantos's Heroic Strike and any available God Powers like Healing to sustain your units. If you have trained any Hippikons from your Town Center, their pierce damage is effective against the Automaton.
    6. Free the Oracle: Once the Automaton is destroyed, the Oracle is freed. She will reveal crucial information about the encroaching threat.
    7. Defend the Village: Shortly after freeing the Oracle, a larger wave of Atlantean forces will assault the village from the south. Quickly position your units to defend the main entrance. Utilize any defensive structures you managed to build, such as Watch Towers, and train additional units from your Barracks. The Oracle will provide periodic buffs to your units during this defense.
  • Rewards:
    • Experience: +750 XP
    • God Power: Bolt (Calls down a lightning strike, dealing heavy damage to a single enemy unit or building.)
    • Unique Unit Unlock: Gastraphetes (Powerful ranged unit with bonus damage against buildings.) - Available for training at the Archery Range after this mission.
    • Resource Bonus: +200 Food, +150 Wood
