To Strive, To Seek is the ninth scenario of the Unholy Alliance campaign in Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death. It is available at the same time as Barbarian Brothers. Gem and Gelu are looking for some parts of the Angelic Alliance in Erathia.

"I know this region well. The lords who control this area are loyal to Erathia but only when it suits them. We must be careful, for they are formidable foes and deeply entrenched. But if we are to locate the pieces of the Angelic Alliance, we may need to "persuade" these lords to assist us."
—Gelu

Walkthrough

Gem and Gelu must find the Sandals of the Saint, Helm of Heavenly Enlightenment and the Necklace of Celestial Bliss to win the scenario. However, if either hero is defeated in combat, the scenario is lost. They limited to level 37 but will carry their experience, skills and spells on to their next^OffBck

Gem and Gelu start to the north with four Ramparts. The two enemy forces have three Castles each, and the teal player has the heroes Sir Mullich and Sanya. There are three paths south, each guarded by a green garrison.

The heroes should start gathering wood elves so that Gelu can turn them into sharpshooters. With his new army, Gelu can head south and start claiming enemy towns as quickly as possible. He'll be much higher level than the two heroes, so they present little challenge. If he goes through the eastern garrison, he can pick up an Orb of Silt.

Once the two enemy players have been taken care of, Gelu and Gem can start visiting stat-improving buildings and visiting mage guilds to learn spells. Once they're prepared, they can search for the three artifacts. The Helm of Heavenly Enlightenment can be found near the town of Daviston to the southwest, behind a quest guard that only Gelu can open. The Celestial Necklace of Bliss is near the town of Jared's Hill to the south, behind a quest guard that only Gelu can open, while the Sandals of the Saint can be found near Berrinton in the southeast, behind a quest guard that only Gem can open.
