"There is a Seer not far from here. An advice from the Blind Brother, servant of Asha, would be useful."
—Beatrice
The Trap is the fourth scenario in The Queen campaign.
Walkthrough[]
The Demon Lord Agrael prepares to rout Elven troops that are marching to assist the Empire. Isabel will have to outmanoeuver the enemy army and prevent the Demons from implementing their plan. The united forces of Isabel and Elven King Alaron should be able to put an end to the invasion and save Nicolai.OffBck
A priest of Elrath congratulates Isabel's victories, but advises her to study magic in Brightwood to be more efficient. As such, Isabel needs to go to the north and capture the town.
On her way, she can detect some mines, a witch's hut and some outposts. In any case, when she captures the town, she can see that demons destroyed the mage guild, so she needs to restore it. The mage guild needs to be restored to level 3. To do that, she would have to invest a lot of resources - crystals, sulfur, gems and mercury in particular. There are many mines around, so she can get them pretty quickly.
When she arrives to the bridge, even the demons razed it. Beatrice advises her to go seek the seer or wait for a new path. Isabel, trying to meet the army as soon as possible, has not much choice but to speak with the seer. The seer redirects her to a mausoleum where Boots of Levitation need to be found. To do that, she needs a large force, as the mausoleum is guarded by many undead creatures. If Isabel turns to east, she can see some underground caves where she can find more mines, creatures and some artifacts.
In any way, once the mage guild has been built and the boots recovered, she can turn north-west to meet Findan. Unfortunately for her, it was a trap! A Demon Lord, Agrael defeats her forces and a demon named Biara disguised herself as Beatrice! Beatrice was murdered as soon as news of Isabel going to the Summerset Palace was heard. Agrael offers her to get away from everything, but naturally, Isabel refuses. Biara overhears Agrael, but still stays with him.
Events[]
- Agrael and Biara goes to war.
- Beatrice takes her disguise off, revealing herself to be Biara.
- Isabel is captured by Agrael and Biara.
Towns[]
Haven: Brightwood
Strategy[]
The mission itself is not difficult, but it takes a lot of time. Once Isabel has got Brightwood, she needs to build the creature production buildings to get mines and resources. Brightwood should be captured as fast as possible, since Isabel's small army will not last long against the demons en route to the city.
The fight in the mausoleum can be dangerous if Isabel does not have Paladins (at least).
