To Kill for Power: I'm stuck and going insane! Please Help!

I've played most of the good XL Single-Player Heroes III maps (Unleashing the Bloodthirsty, Sander's Folly, the Pen and the Sword, Lord of War, etc. etc.) and have succeeded in figuring out each map in good time.

But I'm really stuck in Tang Wen En's excellent "To Kill for Power".  I've defeated Elleshar, beaten Theodorus, and opened the gate north of Bath'iere (the Rampart town west of the Tempus Valley).  This is where my trouble begins.

I got on the boat north of Bath'iere, sailed north past the lighthouses, disembarked, crossed the penninsula to summon another boat, entered the portal connecting to the underground Cavern of Ignis, summoned another boat, made my way to the cavern that has the quest guard "Defeat Aqua", entered the subterranean gate to find a weak hero that says something like "what are you doing here?" and then dies to my attack.

But after defeating him (this is in the northwest corner) of the map) there is unpassable terrain and I can't find any secret passages/ways to proceed.  I think I need to defeat Androon but can't find him either.  Can any kind soul tell me what do do next?

Thanks much,

Scott

I played that map many times, so if u could give me some more details, i can help ya for sure.

1. What seers quests are still to be done?
2. You found the grail already?
3. You killed orange (barbarians) already?
--> If not, u have to visit the seer near a fortress town who needs "Elleshar to be killed" and gives u the spell "waterwalk". Near that seer, u can "waterwalk" a small way and enter the long road (from right to left) to the barbarian lands. (hidden passage to an underground gate there!..)
4. The hero u killed is a quest u will notice later on. You need to come back there again after u killed all conflux heroes.
5. What colors / towntypes have u defeated so far?

1. Quests still to be done:
  -Bring the five pieces of armor to seer next to home city.
  -Bring the necromancy artifacts to seer next to home city.
  -Find Ring of Life to open gate in Rampart lands.
  -Defeat Aqua to open gate underground in western part of map.
  -Defeat Androon to open the last Forsaken Palace near home city.
  -Bring Tomes of Air Magic, Water Magic, Fire Magic, Earth Magic, and the Orb of Inhibition to seer in cavern of Ignis.
  -Find Sword of Judgement to open Gate southwest of Bath'iere (western Rampart city).

2. I've not found the grail.

3. Yep, killed orange, found waterwalk, cleared that area including the Tower city in the desert.

4. Yeah, I killed Elleshar, completed the quest in the swamp lands.

5. I've beaten everyone but Dark Blue (Androon) and Green (Four Elemental Lords).

Thanks very much for your help,

-Scott

Ok...then it seems like i know where u stuck...same happened to me aswell..lol.
There is one boarder guard, which needs the "Sword of Judgment". Some tiles before, there was a boarder guard also, which needs "Badge of courage", which u obviously already solved, coz u didnīt mention it. Thi is the place where u can go on. There is a university on the right side. And perhaps u didnīt pay attention when u opened the boarder guard with the badge of courage, coz right at the next step, it says something about "Students use the back doo entrance.....blablahblah". This was a MAJOR hint...

You can walk BEHIND the university....there is a one-way entrance.....

The necro artefacts can be found near where u started.....where the devils joined ya and u found the gloves and the boots in the first week......volcano...hidden passage.
The 5 breastplates can be found after u opened the last boarder to the devil dwelling....volcano....hidden passage...

Yeah, it took me a LOOOONG time to find that hidden monolith, since you just can't see it.  The "hint" about the backdoor, I thought was referring to the quest guard requiring the Sword of Judgment.  Some of the secret passages in this map are really tricky to find!

Yeah, that's what I thought too.  Thanks much for the help and to Fiery Phoenix for making such an excellent map.  For those of you who are thinking about making XL Maps Single-Hero and storyline oriented in Heroes V, you might want to check out the following for excellent ideas:

1. Sander's Folly
2. The Angellic Pride Series
3. The Pen and the Sword
4. The Lord of War
5. Unleashing the Bloodthirsty
6. To Kill for Power
7. Running with the Devil

There are others that I will post as I think of them, but thanks very much to all the authors of the above-mentioned maps for their blood, sweat, and tears in ensuring HOMM endures as one of the best turn-based strategy games ever.

You do not need to defeat him right away. There is much to be done before you kill him. The reason why the prisoned hero (Xarfax) has to kill Elleshar is, your main isn't able to get into that area again. He can only access to the whirpool to the east (Which he will access after he conquered a conflux town near swamp area...), but he cannot land. Xarfax has to take his army at that time, including his best artefacts (and resurrection scroll!!). Xarfax should also visit all stat boosters around, and finally take the box guarded by a "color" guard. After that, his stats and spells are enough to beat Elleshar without loosing too much army. After the fight he can give most army back to main, and only keep several archdevils himself and go sailing northwest of Elleshar's homelands (you have to keep an artefact on Xarfax to be able to pass a guard there....)

If you want a higher score, raise the difficulty. I assume you played the map on 130%. Try again on 200% (impossible), and your score will be between 400 and 500

Hope you don't mind me using this thread too.

I am stuck on this same map. I don't know where I am supposed to go next. I have gotten the pendant of (can't remember name) from valley of tempus and opened up the way to the cavern of (earth?). Afterwards I found the throngs of titans around cavern of aeris and killed all of them. But I can't figure out where to go next. Please help!

Ok, stuck again. I have visited the Cavern of Aqua and found the hidden spell scroll from there. Then I killed Tan (Fortress). Afterwards up in the north I found the grail diggers. No, I haven't found the grail. According to the tips I'm on 12. Where is Cavern of Terra? I assume I need to find it next to move forward. Thanks again.
