Descent into Darkness

[Ender24]

So I just finished this campaign today and wow, it really abuses that one generic image of two shadowy figures (implictly Keshar and Volk) walking through mountains. Idk if the art team is aware of this issue but this campaign needs more art between scenarios. The existing art also needs to be blown up to fit a 16:9 screen because right now it's just this awkward tiny square in the middle. I could understand it not being made for widescreen and thus not filling the whole screen horizontally, but it doesn't fill the screen vertically either. Idk, maybe I just have my graphics settings adjusted wrong (they're set to the defaults, AFAIK).

Oh and the campaign doesn't have an ending it just sorta stops with the endlessly looping final scenario. I understand the philosophy behind it but I think there needs to be some way to get some sort of closure. A game never feels finished until the credits roll, and we don't get that here, so it feels unfinished.

I hope I'm not repeating known issues here. Just trying to help.

If I'm not mistaken the scenraio does have an ending. I think you need to defeat them one after another and after like 3 times a last opponent tries to deafeat that lich. In that scenario you get the option either to let him take the book, kill you or just defeating him, all of which, according to the objectives, are counted as a victory.

You are correct. The campaign has 3 known endings. You have to do a condition in the 4th or 5th instance of the final scenario to achieve it.

Spoiler:

• Just Die
• Get killed by White Fang Orcs
• Allow an enemy unit to take the book

[Ender24]

How would an enemy take the book? It's not an actual object in that scenario.

That's the easy part. Just lure an enemy to attack any unit of yours from the coordinates of the hex.

If it's not on the map of the scenario, you haven't played it enough times yet.

I have come back to this campaign when i have clued that it been updated .
Great update i have enjoy it lot.played on hard
Btw amla for mal keshar which lose 5 hp but drain 2 from nearby enemies is pretty useless most of times enemies aren't around him or he kill them and doesn't drain anything.
Here is replay from
Endlessnight 10

[Rendy55]

Why mal keshar don't get 3hp when he reach amla?

Would be cool to have Soulless Orcs just for this campaign

Is there a guide to where the monoliths mentioned in the achievements are? I run around looking at every likely rock, but don't find them.

[redbeard2]

Not that I know of, if you’re really motivated you could look at the code for each scenario, it’d be there, along with any other secret

1 in the first scenario, 2 when you come back there (1 appears on phase two with the orcs), 2 when fighting the mentor for the book ( 1 appears when he is defeated), and then you get the last 3 from repeating the final scenario.

More Achievement questions:

1. How many rats is way too many?

2. Do I have to have the Drunken Sailor try every single bottle in the Mansion? I don't think there's enough time.
