[DiD] — Descent into Darkness Help

Post by BlastMastr »

I've hit a confusing part in this campaign that I otherwise love. I looked for help in old threads but it seems that the campaign has been updated at some point and I can't even find anybody addressing this part of the mission—the way the wiki describes this chapter doesn't even sound remotely similar. Spoilers ahead for those who don't want to read:

Thanks in advance to any replies. I started playing this game a couple weeks ago in quarantine and I am completely hooked and hooked several of my friends as well. They still have their jobs so they can't play me in multiplayer every minute of the day, but they try :D

There is another, similar way.

Oh. And I think there are 4 chests.

I don't know how you lot keep mentioning Dark Adepts here when the campaign doesn't allow you to recruit them anymore. I have even checked the code. There's no mention of anything related to recruiting DAs in S9 of DiD.

I'm unable to recruit Dark Adepts in this campaign, including on the Descent into Darkness scenario mentioned. In fact, I'm not able to recruit any units at all, only recall. I lost a number of units previously so I'm not sure I can beat the dragon without playing earlier scenarios again.

Yes, the revision/rework adjusted the plot to not allow dark adept recruitment anymore.
In fact, I'm not able to recruit any units at all, only recall
I am not sure what scenario you are one. Can you tell me the scenario name so I can offer some context?
Some scenarios in this campaign disable recruitment for plot purposes.

Your main character/leader unit alone has enough fire power to devastate the dragon without any assistance. Do not let fear consume you. Chill-blast that dragon.

I was on the eponymous 'Descent into Darkness' scenario. It turns out you were right. I was able to get enough skeletons using the runes to whittle away at the dragons health until I could take it out with the chill wave!
