"So, no friendly towns, no reinforcements, and no chance to rest. Nothing like a little challenge to spice the dull week, huh?"
Agrael

The Betrayal is the first scenario in The Cultist campaign.

Walkthrough[]

Agrael has defeated Nicolai, but much of his troops have died. To protect himself from Isabel's wrath, he'll need to avoid Godric at any costs.

To get to Sheogh, Agrael has to take a different route, since the existing one is blocked by archangels and imperial griffins. Agrael can first go south to get some horned demons, then go north-east util he spots a sanctuary to protect himself from Godric. After Godric goes away, Agreal can go to the second sanctuary (which is not far from the first).

Rutger might interfere, but his army is not so much powerful as Godric's - Agrael can defeat him, but he can expect great costs. In any case, Agrael needs to go to south-eastern corner to get to the keymaster. Going to a portal near the keymaster will teleport Agrael to the secret underground tunnel to Sheogh.

The tunnel has many monsters, but also many treasures and Sheogh outposts, which Agrael can harness. After getting through the tunnel, Erasial will ambush Agrael. After the battle, Agrael and Biara intimidate Erasial, to which he replies he was sent to get the Heart of the Griffin and Agrael dead. Kha-Beleth has branded Agrael a traitor and will continue to hunt him.

Events[]

  • Agrael learns that Kha-Beleth knows of his plans.
  • Agrael learns that Kha-Beleth wants to get the Heart of the Griffin.

Strategy[]

The primary objective is not to get attacked by Godric. A witch's hut will offer Agrael to teach him logistics, which is a great bonus. Godric will not use his entire movement points (even if he can have Expert logistics skill). By avoiding Godric from reaching Agrael, he can be in the sanctuaries to protect himself. Using stables is also a good idea. Although Rutger is not as powerful as Godric and can be beaten, it is advised to avoid both of them, as Rutger has some powerful troops and Agrael will likely lose the fight.

In the tunnel, Agrael can defeat enemies for gold they protect. Know that Agrael does not need all resources, as there is only the hill fort and the artifact merchant for the gold to be traded for.
