You need the wings - Vagabonds
Continue exploring! Cloaks are in the Inferno/Necro area in the north east underground and north of the Sentinels Tower area there is alot of clouds behind a mermaid quest gate. Once you get the wings fly over the eye guard and face the final boss.

Bug - Vagabonds
Quest is currently bugged. I did not realise at the time that bridges prevent anchoring.
Reward from the boss is cornucopia. You dont need it to complete the map. I am planning to rerelease the map with bug fixes and small changes.

Author: Voltaryr (Polska), 11-12-2023 18:40 Like Magnificient - Vagabonds The magnificent hidden gem with flaws
Jeremy and Princess Sasha face challenges as vagabonds in unique realms.
The author created unique landscapes with makes a remarkable experience; mixing monster dwellings as decoration assembles memorable places; it also makes puzzle like finding air elemental hidden behind clouds. Or venturing into rampart ruins as abandonment brigands' hideouts. What I loved was the many surprises even for Heroes veterans. Entering Labirynth was a fat fest for my eyes! I don't like WOG modifications, but this was great done with good taste. An not annoying to collect resources! Just pure gameplay!
But I was expecting more adventures and storyline gameplay; of course, those little backstories are cute and hilarious. Vagabonds makes us hunger for more lore and backstories but it does not develop the main plot. What is right is avoiding tons of artifacts typically for Giant maps by inexperienced map makers. The goals are pretty clear. What's great is auto-build - no need to waste time in building cities, because Giants map works well with exploration and pushing forward because building and recruitment processes are boring whenever there are 20 castles to manage and gather armies over and over. There are a lot of story narrations decisions like obtaining the City Portal as scroll first or trying to find someone to learn this this spell. Even when I screw up (no heroes able to teach anyone) I found someone who was able to share spells.
But there are a lot of flaws: inaccessible areas like Bog Queen throne; no right direction and clues on what to do next - which consumes time and grows opponents strong enough to ruin the game like (not spoiler) by Beastman and Crag Chack. They were unstoppable by legions of behemoths. It was unfair when for 6 months I was focused on side-quests rather than fighting and had to start everything from scratch.
No clues give us the waste of time wandering on the map and losing the game because no one said that we should attack the brown player. Or there is one crucial berserk spell and no advice on what's the right way to find one tiny detail in a giant map.
A giant map should be more straightforward and finally, I decided to see the map in on editor what I've missed. What's more, the Seer Hut replacement by other objects like the castle was a refreshing experience but was frustrating because it was (for example, hidden in woods). What's more, there are a few ways to make a map unfinishable (for instance: giving Angelic Alliance for the wrong Seer) and it's still not sure if there is still a hidden artifact. Sometimes is hard to understand if something is messed up.
After the third attempt, I boosted my heroes to rewind gameplay and I was a great decision
Yes, it's best best-looking map I've ever seen! Definitely try.
If you want to have a relaxing experience:
Boost your heroes by 10 main stats
Change Sasha's diplomacy skills into navigation
Add time events like additional weekly recruitment troops for Tortuga and Sasha's starting city ( for example, +40 archmages per week, +30 for great djinn)
Add Angelic Alliance in case you'll screw up it.
Anyway, Awesome map! 10/10

Really nice
Author: Mikkeroinen (Finland), 26-03-2023 21:57 Best map I have played! - Vagabonds This was easily the best map I have played. There was so many cool things and details and so much to see and to do!
The fact that I did'n have to build anything at all was so chill and also the fact that there is no taverns in towns was so chill too. You just needed to take care for the heroes that were given and your army. For me that was ideal and I will look for other maps that has the same elements in it. Please recommend these kind of maps if you happen to know!
Map was also challenging enough. Thanks for making this great map! 10/10

Is the game now broken for me?

Author: Reverie, 26-07-2022 14:00 Like Amazing Map - Vagabonds I finished the map, taking it slow and "sightseeing" :)
It's, hands down, one of the best maps I've ever played. The attention to detail and the modified map objects creating previously unseen in H3 areas, just... wonderful. The amount of care and effort put into it must've been gigantic!
It's a 10 out of 10 for me. Beautiful, refreshing, nicely balanced.
You can play it slow and enjoy the view, run around completing random quests, or you can rush it.
Getting Angel Wings does allow to skip many things and "problems". I got them without doing the Leprechaun chain, I'm not sure where I got the artifact bits from, but I believe it was enemy heroes (if not and I got them randomly - perhaps they should be disabled for random loot?)
I found 1 bug - due to an event placed on the water, I couldn't access the green castle "Just a big throne" without getting angel wings :)
If I were to give any feedback other than WOW SO GOOD, it'd be:
- diplomacy on Sasha is nearly useless
- by the time I got to Cornucopia/Golden Geese artifacts, I was swimming in gold due to treasuries
- I didn't need to use the Tavern to get the Sentinel hero (and do some other quests), because of Angel Wings
- you can cheese Dragon King battle and never fight him by flying into his town with the wings and then waiting a week (I fought him, but perhaps it might be a good idea to move him 1 square up?)
Other than that, I stand by my previous comment. Wonderful map, very few monotonous fights (not many monster-on-the-map fights was a good choice for a map this big, they didn't get too repetitive! Good job!), good pacing, some fine (but not frustrating) challenge.
And yes, again, absolutely stunning looking!
Play it, folks!
And thanks for making the map!

Author: Reverie (Warsaw), 16-07-2022 01:58 Like Very pleasant so far! - Vagabonds I'm only on month 4, dealt with the barbarian area and the first Rampart zone heroes (it seems that for now my grounds are safe and it's time to chill and explore), but I wanted to drop by it's a very pleasant map so far.
I like the laid back approach to towns without much building - after playing this game for almost two decades, any change of pace is welcome :D
Lack of Resurrection (so far, I'm assuming) is also very welcome. I always enjoy these pre-Ress map stages the most, where battles are more tactical and less about blind-ress-forcefield. I hope it lasts a while longer! ;)
The difficulty, so far, is nicely balanced, it didn't let me just play like a zombie, but it didn't get frustrating.
I noped out of the Minotaur zone for now after 3 battles though :D Need way more troops to make these battles not annoying with quicksand dancing :)
Overall, so far, great job. Map is varied, very pretty, and seems well thought out. I recommend it!

Answer - Vagabonds
The wings are needed.Complete the conflux area after you get the fire elementals then go back to inferno/necro area to finish the quest that requires you to kill "Mind".From there you will get the Clover of fortune which you bring to the seer hut in the forest area's underground and get the ring.
