Complete The Awakening of Stormrage mission in Warcraft III: Reforged. Survive Furion Stormrage and defeat Primal Guardians before trees run out.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by training 6 more wisps. Assign 5 to lumber and use one to start assembling moon wells near the front of your base.
  2. 2
    Once all necessary wisps are trained, upgrade your Tree of Life to a Tree of Ages.
  3. 3
    While the Tree of Ages is assembling, use resources to get all Hunter's Hall upgrades, including the Night Vision upgrade.
  4. 4
    Start training units: 11 Huntresses and 12 Dryads. Ensure you keep a wisp building moon wells; you need a total of five more for food cap.
  5. 5
    Once your Tree of Ages is complete, assemble an Ancient of Lore.
  6. 6
    Focus on building your attack force, utilizing your moon wells. You need to assemble your force quickly to reach the Horn of Cenarius and defeat the guardians before the trees are all cleared out.
  7. 7
    When approximately 35 trees remain and you have 70 food in units, head towards the red base.
  8. 8
    Just south of the red base is a Fountain of Health. This is where you should engage in combat. Save often.
  9. 9
    Kill the raiders near the fountain.
  10. 10
    Send your Huntresses to the watch tower and attack it once, then run back to the Fountain of Health, luring orcs back with you to fight from there. Kite orc units back to the fountain and heal up after drawing one group.
  11. 11
    Save a second file. Once group 1 (Huntresses and Tyrande) are healed, send them into the middle of the orc base to draw fire and units.
  12. 12
    As the Huntresses reach the inside of the base, send your Dryads past the orc base to the far north side, with your Huntresses joining them when they reach them. Keep attention on your Huntresses as they can sustain more damage than Dryads.
  13. 13
    On the other side, make a third save file. Keep running forward to evade chasing orcs.
  14. 14
    Take a quick right and focus down the Fire Elemental. Ensure Tyrande's Flaming Arrows are on auto-cast.
  15. 15
    After defeating the Fire Elemental, kill off the adds and reform your group. If orcs are still chasing, reload and try to get away from them, possibly by running past the Fire Elemental first.
  16. 16
    The crates to the top right contain a Jade Ring, but your current items are likely better.
  17. 17
    Move up the path around the corner and follow it left to find the Ice Elemental.
  18. 18
    Save again if you have a good number of units left (14 or 15 is good). Send your Huntresses in first to focus down the Ice Elemental quickly, followed by its adds.
  19. 19
    Immediately after the Ice Elemental is dead, focus on its stronger add, followed by the two weaker ones.
  20. 20
    The Lightning Elemental is next. Focus him down first, followed by the three adds. Macro is crucial here.
  21. 21
    After these adds are down, move Tyrande to the Horn of Cenarius to complete the mission.
Tips
  • On hard mode, the time limit is very short, approximately 15 minutes. Save often.
  • On normal mode, you have considerably more time and can likely destroy the entire orc base.
  • The crates to the top right of the Fire Elemental contain a Jade Ring, but your current items are likely better.
  • There is an Anti-Magic Potion for Tyrande in the crate to the right of the Horn of Cenarius which can be used if she is having survival issues.
  • The key on hard mode is to get as many units past the orc base as possible, as those will be the only units you have left.
  • Save good progress at each point to ensure you can reach the end of the mission.
  • If you are unsure about a move, save a separate file. If it doesn't go well, reload and try again.
