*Solution Found* How to complete Vale of Tears

[FleetAdmiral74]

Ok, I am supposed to Cleanse the Vale of Tears and move Ethiliel to Membrins village. I already killed both boss badguys, only 9 turns in with a 32turn limit, so I figure I am doing great! But I cannot find the village or figure out how to complete the objectives...

Mebrin's village is in the southeast between the two lakes. Get in the habit of reading dialogue closely in campaigns, key objective information is often snuck into what characters say.

[FleetAdmiral74]

Point taken. A lot of the time I just skip by and look at the objectives and the turn limit.

I'm stuck. I can try whatever I want, I can't get it done. I don't want to cheat, but how is it possible to solve it (much less kill the two bosses in nine turns).

Any hints?

My hint is send the elf to merbins village with moreth and a level 3 cavalryman(if you have them)to kill mr bandit.To kill the undead my clue is to let a level 2 be killed by one of the undead(make sure the elf is nearby then she will give you some rangers as a distraction so you can sneak up on the leader .

Thank you, Tom. I just passed it.

About 6 Horsemen where sent to the NE, along with the white Mage. Killing Skeletons during the day, retreating in the night. A second army of spearmen and Bowmen where sent to the S, over the hills. There I was able to kill the Leader. Then I sent the She-Elf to Merbins Village while the troops in the S went up NE. There I was able to crush the resistance, coming from two sides.

The rest of the levels I was able to complete.

BTW it saves time if Ethiliel swims the lake.
