CUTSCENE

Archer: The Undead are tireless. There’s no way to outrun them.

Tichondrius: You see, Lord Archimonde? We need not fear the night elves. The Scourge can–

Tyrande Whisperwind: Archimonde… After ten thousand years, how is it possible?

Archimonde: The Legion has returned to consume this world, woman. And this time, your troublesome race will not stop us.

Archimonde: Fools! You let her slip away! Find her, damn you! Find her and kill her!

Tyrande Whisperwind: The day we have long feared has finally come. The Burning Legion has returned! I must cross the river and warn the rest of my sisters before all is lost!


MAIN QUEST

Escape into Shadow

  • Bring Tyrande to the Night Elf town
  • Hide from the patrolling Doom Guards
  • Tyrande must survive

Doom Guard: These damned night elves cannot escape us! Lord Archimonde wants them found!

HINT – Use the Hide command to force Tyrande to Shadowmeld to avoid being seen by the Doom Guard. Press the “i” key to force Tyrande to HIDE.

Tyrande Whisperwind: I must avoid being seen.

Head north along the path.

Doom Guard: Lord Archimonde wishes us to corrupt this forest, and we shall!

The doom guard patrols this path. Wait until he goes all the way to the east, then go north safely, across the river.

Take the path to the north. There is a standing Doom Guard, but another one patrols up to this spot. There are two nearby treasure chests:
  • Claws of Attack: Increases the attack damage of the Hero by 3 when worn.
  • Slippers of Agility: Increases the Agility of the Hero by 3 when worn.

Go straight south and destroy these crates. It contains:

  • Potion of Greater Healing: Heals 500 hit points when used.

Go straight south to destroy this crate and the cage. The crate has a treasure chest. The cage has a Furbolg that runs away. I guess he is meant to be a decoy for you to run away. He is killed by 2 nearby Doom Guards. You can’t control him.
  • Scroll of Healing: Heals 150 hit points to all friendly non-mechanical units around the Hero when used.

The path from here goes east, then south. There are a few crates down at this spot. It drops a treasure chest that contains a Druid Pouch.
  • Druid Pouch: Increases the Intelligence of the Hero by 1 when carried.

Go past the bridge as soon as the Doom Guard paths to the far west.


Destroy the barricade (crates) to open a pathway. The Footman patrolling the area is killed by 5 Archers who join you.

Archer: Elune-adore, Priestess. We are yours to command.

HINT – Archers also have the Shadowmeld and Hide abilities, which can be used to remain hidden at night while not moving.

Destroy the crates below the tents. Destroying the tent will spawn another footman.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Foul humans! You cannot evade the goddess’ wrath!

  • Potion of Healing: Heals 250 hit points when used.

Go east across the river. 5 Footman engage Undead Ghouls in combat. Kill them all. Destroy the crates (near the tent) for a treasure chest.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Clearly the humans have no love for the undead. But I dare not trust them.


Not far, you will find a Goblin Merchant.

  • Scroll of Protection (R): Increases the armor of all friendly units in an area around your Hero by 2 for 30 sec. 150
  • Potion of Healing (P): Heals 250 hit points when used. 150
  • Potion of Mana (M): Restores 150 mana when used. 200

  • Scroll of Healing (H): Heals 150 hit points to all friendly non-mechanical units around the Hero when used.

The Undead Scourge attacks the Orcish Horde base to the east.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Those orcs appear to be guarding some magical treasure. Hmm… it might prove useful to me.

You can just ignore them and go straight for the treasure chest, and leave; or you can engage them one by one.

  • Mantle of Intelligence: Increases the Intelligence of the Hero by 3 when worn.

Right-click the Way Gate to teleport to another location.

On the other side of the Way Gate, three Huntresses attack an Undead Shade. There is a Fountain of Health below them.

Huntress: Elune-adore, Priestess. Be wary. The doom guards command shades that can see us, even when we meld with the shadows. We’d best stay away from them.

NEW UNIT ACQUIRED

Huntress – Huntresses are excellent short range fighters with the ability to cast the Sentinel Spell.

HINT – Huntresses also have the Shadowmeld and Hide abilities, which can be used to remain hidden at night while not moving.

HINT – The Scout and Sentinel spells may be used to see hidden Shades.

Doom Guard: Silly night elf, you cannot hide from us!

Destroy these crates for a treasure chest.

  • Scroll of Healing: Heals 150 hit points to all friendly non-mechanical units around the Hero when used.

Head north to kill 3 Gargoyles guarding a treasure chest, and a nearby Shade.

  • Gloves of Haste: Increases the attack speed of the Hero by 15% when worn.

Go southwest to collect a treasure chest in the middle of these spikes.


Four Footmen attack a nearby Doom Guard. Destroy the crates for a treasure chest.

  • Scroll of Protection: Increases the armor of all friendly units in an area around your Hero by 2 for 30 sec.

Footman: Ambush! Run for your lives! We’ll regroup in the clearing ahead!

That Doom Guard drops a Tome of Agility: Permanently increases Agility by 1.


Get near this Elven Gate to trigger a dialogue. 4 Huntresses and 2 Archers join your team and open the Elven Gate for you.

Archer: Fandu-dath-belore?

Tyrande Whisperwind: Ishnu-alah, sisters! It is I, Tyrande.


Destroy the Spirit Tower, then go south to kill these two Doom Guards, and the Spirit Tower. Here you can loot a Manual of Health: Permanent +50 hit points; and a Mana Stone: Increases the mana regeneration rate of the Hero by 25% when worn. Can be consumed for 300 mana.


When you reach this spot, 3 Glaive Throwers spawn to join your team.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Ah, these abandoned ballistas will help me break through the undead fortifications.

NEW UNIT ACQUIRED

Glaive Thrower – Glaive Throwers are powerful siege weapons, which may be used effectively against buildings.


Lure these two Ghouls away from the Spirit Towers.


Before you attack the Undead Scourge base, go to this hidden area toward the Fountain of Health. As soon as Tyrande gets near the Fountain of Health, 4 Archers and 3 Glaive Throwers spawn to join your team.


Kill all the Undead Scourge minions and destroy the Elven Gate to complete the mission. Enter the Night Elf village.


MAIN QUEST COMPLETED

CUTSCENE

Shandris Feathermoon: Tyrande! Praise Elune, you’ve made it! The undead appeared out of nowhere and attacked our village without warning!

Tyrande Whisperwind: Ishnu-dal-dieb, Shandris. We have a greater problem. The undead were sent here by the Burning Legion, our ancient enemies of old. Against such might we have only one option. We must awaken the druids.
