"Now, Tarnum knew Vorr fled this world to gather his power. The only way to reach him though was through the Sparkling Bridge, a portal to any location in the universe. Unfortunately, the Elemental guardians of the Sparkling Bridge didn't allow just anyone to pass through."

The Sparkling Bridge is the third scenario in The Fiery Moon, the sixth part of Heroes Chronicles.

Activate the Sparkling Bridge so Tarnum can follow Vorr. All Heroes are limited to level 18, and all of Tarnum's experience, spells, skills, and artifacts will carry over to the next map. Two of Tarnum's best Captains will carry over to the next map.OffBck

In order to reach the Fiery Moon, Tarnum needed to travel through the Sparkling Bridge. Unfortunately, the elemental guardians refused to let him pass, and he had to fight through their armies.

During a fight against some air elementals, Tarnum suddenly fell to the ground with a sharp pain in his stomach, as if he had been stabbed with a cold blade. He would have been killed if Skizzik hadn't jumped on one of the air elementals' back, biting it and distracting it long enough for Grumba to kill it. Later, Tarnum realized that it was the pain of the wound that killed him. He wondered whether it had anything to do with the missing Ancestors.

He thanked Skizzik for saving his life, and the familiar told him that familiars and barbarians couldn't be friends - so he decided to be a barbarian too. Skizzik dressed up in a wool loincloth and a helmet with ram's horns, and wielded a hatchet as if it was a battleaxe. When the hatchet was destroyed in a fight against some fire elementals, Tarnum ordered his armorer to forge a proper axe for him.

Walkthrough[]

Tarnum starts out with his best hero from the previous scenario and a Stronghold. There are two opponents: the blue enemy starts with two Confluxes on the surface and the heroes Fiur and Brissa. The red enemy has two Confluxes underground and the heroes Grindan and Kalt.

Tarnum can capture the northeastern Conflux early on, and build up an army before attacking the northwestern Conflux. North of the town, there's a light blue keymaster's tent, and south of it, there's a subterranean gate leading underground.

Once he reaches the underground, Tarnum can go east, through the blue border gate, and board a boat to reach the enemy Conflux, next to which is a brown keymaster's tent. North of the subterranean gate is the brown border gate and the last Conflux, and a black tent. The black border gate to the northeast blocks the path to a subterranean gate. Here, Tarnum can find the Ring of the Wayfarer that ends the scenario - but it's heavily defended, so he should gather a large army before attempting to pick it up.

After fighting his way past the elemental guardians, Tarnum found the Sparkling Bridge and the Ring of the Wayfarer that was needed to travel through it. He could now reach the Fiery Moon.

Strategy[]

Building artifact merchants in the Confluxes will let Tarnum buy artifacts that he can carry over to the next scenario.
