{Hades} has taken a vacation, leaving some of his minions in charge. For a little while things went well, but now it seems something drastic has happened down there. If he does not return soon or someone doesn't fix whatever the problem is, then {Greece} will be buried in the dead.

Author: Rafael (The Netherlands), 10-12-2014 04:14 Need help! I beat all the players in the game except for red, but now I need two cloaks of the dead to continue. I've recruited every hero there is but none of them is wearing any of those artifacts. I got my hands on the shoes and the necklace but I've still got 4 artifacts to go and I don't know where to look. Where are they? Awesome map by the way!
If you want to know how I got this far: Go to the underground and go towards Hades's House and the Courthouse. On your way you'll find Hermes, who has the Fly spell. If you go and claim the artifacts next to your starting castles you'll get an insane army. That + the Armor of the Damned, Phoenixes and Allegic Allegiance will give you power to beat the rest).

Artifacts
Vampire's cowl is at 61/121/1, fly to the pyre above Flux town "sacred palace" and it is just south of it.
Cloak of undead king is, just as a clue you should get, around Hades home. At 83/33/1 there is a long fight with 4k azure dragons, afterwards you get it from event. To get there go to frozen cliffs in inferno area and go south-west.
Map editor is your friend while playing such maps.

Author: Jaroslaw (Ontario, Canada), 13-11-2012 23:32 Response to bug I'm not quite sure how they are able to do it, but the computers seem to start with enough resources to bypass the quest guards near their main towns and collect the creatures contained in the event tile just after it. This is on impossible difficulty.
Author: Snake Madman (The Netherlands), 24-07-2012 20:36 Bug? Or otherwise real bad Halfway through the 2nd month Green came visiting me (I was playing Teal). He brought along a legion of black dragons, another legion of 8th level black dragons, 4K scorpions, and all other creatures totaling some 20K monsters together. I had 9 titans, 25 genies, 140 mages, stuff like that. Am I missing something here? Is it a bug? I was playing wogified.
Author: Aeris Quamarine (China), 02-04-2012 09:32 Like Hi, Tim This map, Rise of Devils, really requires high skill. Some tips are for you:
1, in week 1 go to ransack the ship and get admiral's hat, boots of speed and gloves
2, move as quickly as possible to visit the all four elemental altar in the sea, learn all spells
3, some islands have creatures ready to join, such as giants and silver pegasi
4, rescue heroes from prisons with many troops
5, capture the middle town Arcadia and Delphi, dig out the grail
6, don't directly go attacking powerful enemies, but go to the northwest town Lydia, there are seers who will give you bonus
7, let your main hero gain ADPK bonuses, with Berserk spell and legions of shooters(quest bonus) you can make it
and then you can vanquish the above ground and go to the underground hell, Hades, for adventure
Author: Kim (Copenhagen, Denmark), 01-04-2012 16:22 Am I missing something? Normally I consider myself a fairly competent HOMM3 player, but I can't seem to crack this. I can get to Pandora's box fast, but cant figure what to do from there. Am I supposed to beat the AI bonus armies with just that, or is there some other trick I am missing?

Rise of Devils walkthrough
Special Victory/Loses: None
Difficulty:
Impossible (or depending on the start-up difficulty setting)
Special Note:
- This map's original version is "Pandora's Box".
Note:
#1: There's essentially no main player. You can try to play the game with different color to appreciate the distinct style of each town and its starting hero(es).
#2: This map has an Impossible difficulty rating. The longer you wait the more powerful the AI's become. However, seasoned players are recommended to play this map on Impossible to test their skill.
The Impossible rating has been carefully tested for all four playable colors.
Dedication:
I dedicate this map to my eternal love, the greatest HoMM3 map maker, Hans C.
He is the inspiration for me to make this map. Now my only wish is to find the whereabouts of him....and to become his friends, hopefully.
