Mission Title: Surtur's keep, the ancient fortress of Surtur's keep, stands ever vigilant against the foes of Empyrea Objective 1:Lord Surtur must survive Objective 2: Escort Lord Surtur to the gateway Mission Attributes: +2 to Persephone, +1 to Stratos (optional), -1 to Charnel, -1 to James, -1 to Pyro New Units: Scarab New Spells: Ethereal form Unlike most other forms of armoring spell, ethereal form makes you completely invulnerable to damage. You may still have your mana taken from you, but your health will remain at the same level as the one in which you cast the spell. Just before large hostile engagements, or any time you expect that you might be in danger, use the small amount of required mana to cast ethereal form - you will find yourself alive far more often than before. Use ethereal form when the battle is lost, too, so you can collect your blue souls without dying.
Mid-Mission Objective - Find and desecrate Seerix's altar: Before approaching the red souls that you see, construct a manalith on the nearby fountain. Now, when you approach the small hill to collect the souls, some creatures feigning death will rise and attack. Kill them and summon a total of four manahoars so that you can convert the scattered red souls here as quickly as possible. Summon as many shrike as you can before Seerix strikes again. Target her with Lord Surtur and attack her melee with your shrike. As soon as the battle swings your way, attack Seerix with almost everything you've got. While she's away, collect all the souls you can and summon a full army. Seerix attacks relentlessly and occasionally maneuvers behind you to get some licks in on your manaliths and altar. When you can, use your guardian spell to assign a creature to each structure you want to protect so that you can push onward without too much worry. The enemy altar is beyond the next pair of manaliths. Take them both by attrition or bypass them and head straight for Seerix's altar. Desecrate it, and the level will end. If you beat this level within the first ten minutes, Stratos will offer you a boon.
