Complete Warcraft III: Reforged walkthrough for Chapter Four: The Spirits of Ashenvale (ROCWO4). Includes main and optional quests, strategies for lumber gathering, and defeating enemies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Your base starts without a gold mine. Clear a path northwest to the first gold mine.
  2. 2
    Defeat the initial Night Elf archers and huntress encountered. Utilize HellScream's Wind Walk.
  3. 3
    Secure the gold mine, build a Great Hall, and train 4 Peons. Rally them to the new gold mine.
  4. 4
    Defend against incoming air units using Raiders' Ensnare and Wind Walk.
  5. 5
    Once the Great Hall is operational, train 3-4 Raiders, 1 Kodo Beast, and Grunts up to 40 food.
  6. 6
    Upgrade to Spiked Barricades and build 4 Watch Towers near the gold mine for defense.
  7. 7
    Research Steel Melee Weapons, Armor, and Pillage upgrades from the War Mill and Stronghold.
  8. 8
    Locate the Goblin Shop east of your gold mining outpost to receive the first optional quest: Destroy the Trees of Life.
  9. 9
    Assemble your army (3-4 Raiders, Grunts up to 40 food, 1 Kodo Beast) and attack the Furbolgs in the middle-west area for the optional quest. Focus on the Level 6 Furbolg first, using Wind Walk.
  10. 10
    After defeating the first group, HellScream should level up. Consider upgrading Wind Walk to rank 2.
  11. 11
    Engage the second group of Furbolgs (two Level 4s and a Chieftain). Focus the Chieftain first, then the others, using Wind Walk.
  12. 12
    Collect the Health Stone and return to the Goblin Shop for Shredders.
  13. 13
    Replenish your army, prioritizing Headhunters if Raiders are dying too fast. Aim for 70 food, with 3 Raiders, 1 Kodo Beast, and the rest Grunts/Headhunters.
  14. 14
    Upgrade melee and ranged weapons/armor. Research Troll Regeneration from the Barracks.
  15. 15
    Build two more Burrows, pulling a Peon from lumber.
  16. 16
    Build a War Mill near the forest north of the Goblin Shop for Shredders to deposit lumber.
  17. 17
    Defend against heavier attacks including Ballistas, using your army within Watch Tower range.
  18. 18
    Once Grom hits Level 6, acquire Bladestorm for easier defense.
  19. 19
    When the current gold mine is depleted, head southwest to find another gold mine.
  20. 20
    Optional Quest: Slay the Furbolg Chieftain. This is completed during step 4-11. Return to Neeloc Greedyfingers for the reward.
