Walkthrough for 'The Necromancer's Spirit' mission in Disciples II: Rise of the Elves. Defeat Erhog the Dark, find the antidote, and learn about map directions and city troop notations.
- 1The mission begins with Emperor Demosthene mourning his Queen and son, manipulated by Hubert de Layle. Erhog the Dark, a death cult leader, has taken over the barony of Ammennir, and her growing power threatens the Empire.
- 2Your objective is to defeat Erhog the Dark. As you approach her Temple in the south-eastern corner of the map, you'll learn that corrupt nobles, sent by her, failed to assassinate Emperor Demosthene but succeeded in poisoning him.
- 3You may find a Stone Ring guarded by an Ogre north of Gunner's Shop. Take this ring to the statue in the north-east, behind Athlok's Keep, to receive a Tome of Fire.
- 4Liberate the town of Tanscroul to gain the assistance of Wolfgar, a Ranger.
- 5Upon reaching Erhog's Temple, be cautious. She is resistant to fire, earth, air, and water, and uses a life-draining attack that heals her. Focus your attacks on her, as she is the most dangerous unit. She has low hit points and should be defeated quickly.
- 6After defeating Erhog, the antidote to the Emperor's poison will be found and automatically administered in the Capital.
