Hints
Destory all crates, etc for useful items. These are consumable items that will not be mentioned in the walkthrough. Fyi - some crates have enemies inside. Open all attacks with your hero. Save after every skirmish. Load whenever you lose a unit.

Thrall Hints
Protect your Shaman and Witch Doctor. Eliminate ranged enemies and casters first. Time is not an issue. Always heal up and wait for mana to regenerate.

Cairne Hints
Remember that, while you cannot heal your units, Cairne regenerates health quickly and he has Reincarnate. Use this to your advantage.

Walkthough
Note: Skirmishes, unless difficult, are skipped over - just win them without losing any units.

You will start with Thrall


 * 1) Follow the tunnel, fighting undead units, until the first fork (North & South).
 * 2) Head North first, kill the units for a Mantle of Intelligence +3.
 * 3) Continue South to the next fork (South & East). Head South first, kill the units for a Ring of Regeneration.
 * 4) Continue East to the next fork (North & South/East). Head South/East first (destory the gate), kill the enemies and collect the Tome of Agility from one of the crates.
 * 5) Continue North to the next fork (North & West) and Kill the Death Revenant for an Orb of Fire.
 * 6) Head West first and kill the enemies for a Tome of Intelligence.
 * 7) Continue North, around a corner, over a bridge to the next fork (North & East & South). Note, enemies will appear as you cross the bridge threshold on both sides. Kill another Death Revenant at the fork.
 * 8) The North is the Kings Door and it is locked.
 * 9) Head South first, kill the Salamander and Salamander Vizier for the Blood Key. Return thorugh the Kings Door and collect the Crown of Kings.
 * 10) Continue East (up the ramp) and through the waygate to the next fork (North & South). The path South cannot be passed atm.

 * 14) Head South and return Aszunes heart.

Now you will lead Cairne (Note: you still have control of Thrall)


 * 1) You start at a fork (North/East & South/East). Head South/East first, kill some units and get the consumable items available.
 * 2) Continue (North/East). Destroy some rock debris and fight the Granite Golem for the Stone Token. You may want to skip this fight.
 * 3) Continue on the path to the next fork(North/East & South). Kill some humans and pick up the Tome of Strength.
 * 4) Kill some undead units for the Talisman of Evasion.
 * 5) Head South first and find the Hungry Hungry Lizard. Wait for it to clear a path through the mushrooms. Collect the Lion Horn of Stormwind. Note: It may be possible to do something else while the lizard works - I didn't try it.
 * 6) Continue North/East to the next fork (North/West & North/East & South/East). The South/East is blocked by an indestructible gate. You will see the Enchanted Gemstone.
 * 7) Continue North/East, activate Northern Circle of Power to open the gate, DO NOT activate Eastern Circle of Power. Kill the units around the Enchanted Gemstone manually to get Necklace of Spell Immunity. Also kill the additional units in the South/East to get Claws of Attack +12. Make sure to heal at the Fountain of Health.
