ADDITIONAL HELP CONTRIBUTED BY MICHAEL CHANDRA

Discover additional tips and strategies for Disciples II: Rise of the Elves, including event triggers, enemy information, item locations, and shop inventories.

This section provides additional help and insights contributed by Michael Chandra for Disciples II: Rise of the Elves.

Event Triggers:

• At the start of turn 20, a message will appear indicating that the Spiders have been smoked out of the forest.
• At the start of turn 30, Hubert's backup arrives, and he will threaten you. He will begin moving after you end your turn.

Experience Farming with Air Elementals:

Air Elementals grant experience. By eliminating all but the Elementalist and withdrawing other units, a leader with high damage (e.g., 110 damage with spells and potions, 100% hit chance) can defeat over 60 Air Elementals before taking down the Elementalist. This can significantly boost a leader's level, allowing for better level-up choices in the next mission.

Level Ending: Uther defeats Hubert de Layle and returns to Nevendaar. Emperor Demosthene recovers and begins rebuilding the Empire.

Hint: Taking the Soul Crystal from this level will make the next level significantly easier.

Uther's Crusade - Briefing and Comments:

Following Hubert de Layle's defeat, numerous nobles rise to claim the Empire's throne. Emperor Demosthene, still weak, dispatches Uther to quell these uprisings. The objectives are to re-capture Avonia Castle, Rock Castle, and North Keep, while ensuring Uther's survival.

Strategy for Uther's Crusade: Given the requirement to protect Uther, avoid sending him into major battles. Use him for mopping up weaker enemies and keep him garrisoned in a safe city, preferably the capital. Bringing the Soul Crystal from the previous mission is recommended to paralyze strong opponents like Trolls.

Upon starting the level, Uther will inform you that the target cities are to the south. Shortly after, Dagarik Stormcaller, a Dwarf, will appear to advise of the Mountain Clans' presence and their alliance, confirming they will respect your lands.
