Walkthrough for Warcraft III: Reforged's Chapter Five, 'The Fall of Silvermoon'. Learn how to complete main and optional quests, manage your base, and defeat Sylvanas.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by training two more Ghouls for lumber and one Acolyte to build your defense.
  2. 2
    Defend against the initial attack with Arthas and Crypt Fiends. Arthas should level up and learn Animate Dead.
  3. 3
    Prioritize the optional objectives: destroy Sylvanas's base and prevent any runners from alerting Silvermoon.
  4. 4
    The first runner will appear in the southwest. Use your Gargoyles to intercept it. Position Gargoyles near the bridge south of Sylvanas's base.
  5. 5
    Build 6 Spirit Towers on the north side of your base and 6 on the southwest entrance.
  6. 6
    Upgrade your main structure to a Black Citadel and begin researching Graveyard upgrades.
  7. 7
    Build a Temple of the Damned and a Slaughterhouse, and research Necromancer upgrades. Get the Web upgrade from the Crypt.
  8. 8
    As Sylvanas attacks more strongly, add 2 more Spirit Towers to each defensive position.
  9. 9
    Train Crypt Fiends and Necromancers. Aim for an army of approximately 8 Crypt Fiends, 6 Necromancers, and 3 Meat Wagons. Keep your upkeep low.
  10. 10
    Load Meat Wagons with corpses.
  11. 11
    When ready, send your attack group out the north exit, west along the path, and across the bridge towards Sylvanas's base.
  12. 12
    Leave Gargoyles near the bridge to intercept any runners that might slip through.
  13. 13
    Attack Sylvanas's base: summon Skeleton Warriors, send in Crypt Fiends, summon more Skeleton Warriors, then send in the rest of your army. Keep auto-cast on for Necromancers.
  14. 14
    Use Arthas's Animate Dead ability to reinforce your attack.
  15. 15
    Focus on destroying the Sanctum and then the Castle. Protect your Necromancers.
  16. 16
    Destroy production structures and any remaining runners.
  17. 17
    Level the base to trigger a cut-scene and receive rewards.
  18. 18
    If no runners alerted Silvermoon, the rest of the mission is on cruise control.
Tips
  • Save frequently, especially before a runner is released or right after killing one, to avoid letting a runner slip through and alerting Silvermoon.
  • If Silvermoon is alerted, you will need to significantly reinforce the south side of your base.
  • Positioning Gargoyles near the bridge south of Sylvanas's base is crucial for intercepting runners.
  • When attacking Sylvanas's base, use Meat Wagons and Necromancers effectively. Summon Skeleton Warriors for initial offense.
  • Keep an eye on your Necromancers during the base assault, as they are vulnerable.
  • Runners can spawn from any standing structure in Sylvanas's base.
  • If lumber is scarce, consider the Ghoul Frenzy upgrade from the Crypt to improve lumber harvesting.
