In this map the difficulty level that we choose is very important because
the number of resources we are starting with defines speed of progress on
this map. The map is set for tournament play. The font is adapted to play
on both add-ons.
200% difficulty in Shadow of Death (~ 5/7 computer players give us
challenge)
300% difficulty in Horn of the Abyss (7/7 computer players give us
challenge)
Horn of the Abyss is not recommended for beginners and intermediate
players. The map can be finished with each starting color.
Four magnificient elements, each with its own incredible might have
unleashed hell on this earth... Everyone, even Vakestrel himself, remained
helpless in the face of the destruction they had done... Nothing can
describe dread of the ancient forces ruling this world...

Author: MattHu (Hungary), 16-05-2023 13:39 Criminally Underrated - Seven Dark Souls People throw the phrase 'best map I've ever played' around faaar far too much, this however is worthy of that title.
It is so complex, so well-paced, so challenging, and so versatile, it was the best adventure i have had playing heroes 3 in 20+ years!
It almost fel like playing out the seasons a show. Things get progressively harder and more complex, and when you think you're done and can relax, another curveball is thrown at you!
I was kind of shocked how much I had to dig for this map when filtering by downloads.
This is an absolute masterpiece, and your creativity was off the charts, sir!
Author: A player (Poland), 05-12-2022 00:50 One of the best ever - Seven Dark Souls Beautiful game, played awhile ago, but still in top 3 of my favoutites (may be even best in overall...). The underground - just masterpiece, no more to say. But the upper level perfected to perfection as well, nothing seems left unattended or decided by coincidence. A "golden standard" for all the Mapmakers how to create proper, difficult, but not over-complicated and still playable Heroes3 universe. Turned out to be not as difficult as expected, but still a reasonable challenge. Non-standard beginning, but very smartly invented - I mean the "ground level". The underground part, well... Stupid player as myself, having only one Tavern in the beginning, assumed there must be legions of those bloody Troglodytes in the Garrison in front of the City. So built only up to City Hall for income, and completely forgot about it for next several weeks, focusing only on developing the surface towns/heroes. Only start to develop creatures dwellings downstairs some time after third surface city capture and build of second Tavern... Maybe I should have choose to restart there, but decided to carry on, and still managed to win in a reasonable time (200% diff. level), without seeking help of any funny Crazee Dragons, with no use of Golden Goose or other gimmicks (played SoD version). That's why I say: not as difficult as it could be.
Yes, first incarnation was a surprise (and a challenge). He emerged from down below, raid all over my homeland, but tried to escape, when my Main appeared. Caught him just in front of the Gate, and brought his Funny Dragons to the gronund with horde of Ancient Behemots (honestly, 20 years since H3 was introduced, until that one fight I used to underrate those gray Bears... Thanks Michael, for opening my eyes!) However... I found there too much randomness in the fight. As there's no way to deny the Dragons to cast their spell - the guy wears the Power af Dragon's Father, so... bearing in mind the number of the Dragons: if they cast the Chain Lighting - there's no more real chance to win any more. You have to start the fight over and over, and choose one, when the Magic Arrow was cast (the smallest damage to your troops). Then with a proper tactic, the battle can be won with relatively little loss.
IMHO one of Author's biggest successes here was to create such a huge world and still make the game playable without Town Portal. Most of the games with disabled Fly and Dimension Door, even smaller ones, are just not playable if you won't get the Town Portal / expert Earth Magic. Here you will not lack it, maybe you will not even notice you not have it. Just enjoy playing, conquering, exploring the beautiful world. Great achievement, no doubt about it!
What was not "perfect" in the scenario, then? Despite the mentioned fight against Fearie Dragons, for me both lower corners of the underground are not the "must-have" part of the world. Unnecessary multiple quests with multiple pendants there... For me that part killed a liitle pleasure I got throughout most of the game. I went there just to quickly visit the skill-building locations (never too much...), and to unlock the remote Cloud Temple and Portal, then skipped the remaining part.
Author: Alex (Switzerland), 04-12-2022 02:03 Like Great map - Seven Dark Souls Phew, just finished it in 184 days.
Like Micheal's other map ("Scars of the old wars"), this one has amazing graphics. The AI proved to be a challenge, although I didn't fight the last 2 Vakestrel reincarnations (they perished because Pink didn't have any towns left).
The first Vakestrel (Titans+Enchanters+Faerie Dragons) turned out to be the hardest for me. After you get his Orb of Vulnerability and Power of the Dragon Father, the next reincarnations are easier.
I never got access to TP/DD/Fly, but I see that as a plus - the game is more fun this way. Travel stops being an issue once you get access to most portals.
I didn't bother solving the elemental-requesting quests or freeing Gelu/Dragon - these just take too much time. Didn't bother with the Grail for the same reason.
Author: Antony Apostolov (France), 19-01-2022 12:17 Like absolute masterpiece! - Seven Dark Souls I want to congratulate Michael for this map! I managed to beat it in my second try and I must say it's really wonderfully designed! I can only imagine the time you spent building it and writing the lore. The map is so challenging it is literally the "dark souls" of HOMM3 maps :D And even though it's long, you are so happy when you finally beat it. I had to save before almost every move because it's so unforgiving. Felt like when you get back at the bonfire in Dark Souls after a mistake.
There are only 2 things that I could complain about :
-the pandora boxes behind gates where you have to bring 36 elementals are really not worth it considering you have to go all across the map with 2 pairs of elementals on a secondary hero to get them. Really not worth the trouble and risk doing them.
-I had to check in the map editor for the seers that give you fly + town portal because they are not translated in English and couldn't tell which of the heroes I had to kill.
Anyway, congratulations again! I will replay this map another day again on stream :)
Finished it in 14 months, HotA version 200% difficulty.
If I can leave a tip for future players : try to get the cornucoppia + golden goose as fast as possible, they will really help, trust me :) Don't want to spoil the position as they are quiet well hidden. If the author allows me to tell it.
Author: Cave (ch), 19-09-2021 07:08 A nice map - Seven Dark Souls A nice map which requires careful and strategic play.
Surprisingly, it is not annoying to play without TP as it is easy to move around the map with the monoliths.
Probably was a bit slow as finished in the beginning of night 8.

Town Portal - Seven Dark Souls
Town Portal (same as Fly spell) is not available in any castle, however, it is possible to get this spell as a reward for killing one of the Vakestler copy - the exact position of this Seer's Hut is (63,89,1). Also i suggest reading my conversation with Solmyr (few comments below) where i have revealed a lot of tip how to succesfully end this map ;)

I think that Author means fearie dragon are important to kill all other player except pink one. To kill him i did same as Solmyr in the reviews below - keep main enemy hero in castle and by using sanctuary until my army was good enough.

It is exactly as Beatleman said. Faerie Dragons are key for victory over all player except the pink one. There are a few possible way to win against him, for example brute forcing with big army collected from all castles or gathering useful artifact to win this battle with high stats etc. There are also a few tricks on ending this earlier, however, it is not that easy to find them out :)
Author: Beatleman, 16-02-2019 16:16 Thank for a map - Seven Dark Souls The great map - done in 11 month 2 week and 3 day. I have personal love for open world map. Waiting for your next map.
Author: Solmyr (Greece), 26-12-2018 20:08 Like yo - Seven Dark Souls oh what a quick reply, thank you!
I will try these tips and see how it will go. I will also go tryhard mode and plan really carefully to not waste movement points. I will replay of course the battles to minimize the losses.
I won't lower the difficulty, I think. the lowest will be 160%, if I choose to lower it. I will also try and test what is the earliest I can take the 2nd town(without the artifact of course).
Wish you again happy holidays and a happy new year. I will inform in a couple days for the next attempts. Shall be interesting.
Author: Michael, 26-12-2018 18:06 relay - Seven Dark Souls I am glad You liked my map and found it challenging :) Here are most important tips:
-> On the surface:
1. You should capture all dwelling around castle in 1 week (during 7 first days).
2. If you play on the lowest lvl of difficulty you can trade in quest guard all your resources for second spirit of oppresion which will simply allow you to capture 2 castle instead of 1 just at begin of the game. It is very useful help specially if you are bored with hard try on higher difficulty.
3. Try to get to those heroes with 55 lvl 6 creatures as fast as possible.
4. Stacking a lot of magic dragon is the key for victory.
-> In the underground:
1. If u play on lvl easier than 200% you can build 2 heroes and stack 3 x army at your castle in underground which will simply allow you to go throught the gate at first day. Then each creature you kill will grant you enough resources to build next building in your underground castle. This will overcome speed of your enemies.
2. Don't use red one way teleport in the underground until you capture all other players castles.
3. Use "Cover of Darkness" building near teleport to confuse AI so they won't come to your castle.
If you have any more trouble will try to help. Any feedback is also welcome, since i will be updating this map in the incoming future. And of course Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)
Author: Solmyr (Greece), 26-12-2018 17:24 Like Very interesting and difficult - Seven Dark Souls Hello and Merry Christmas. That is one difficult map. I mean, you warned us, I should not have been surprised.
I had 2 attempts so far and they led to failure. First attempt as red, won orange, but very far behind other heroes and on hit and run strategy. But this would lead to a deadend so I dropped.
Decided to try again as stronghold, trying to use the experience from before in order to save the town in the underground. But blue with titans took it, so bye bye underground.
I want to try again and use the tips of rushing 2nd town and the prisoner with level 6 etc. Also, I am thinking to start with tower for titans and Neela (the big guns).
If only I could get the blue tent at the beginning to be able to recruit heroes... I am thinking to change it in the map editor, but I see it as cheat :p
On 200%, with boosted AI and on top not being able to recruit heroes, is too harsh.
I may give it a go again soon. I am still thinking though, how I can dominate the underground, when I am so far behind. To rush and reload, reload and reload till you capture a town, whose protector has left alone roaming is an idea. But, reloading is a bit cheat, especially if you are doing it 1000x times.
Just my monologue of struggle. Even if I eventually drop it, good job friend, excellent map!

I beat it!! 200% hota m12w1d1 - Seven Dark Souls
Hello and happy new year. This will be a looong long post. I am excited, so I will ramble.
I beat it with 200% at hota with my 3rd attempt. I decided to get Neela, blue. I told you I would bring the big guns. I don't know if I could win, if it weren't for the tips and information I got from your replies. Also many reloads happened to optimize battles. While in mid game, when I was 2nd strongest and got all tents, I didn't pay attention where the brown was, so I searched it on map editor. That was my cheat, apart from reloading the battles of course. But, I think it's not that big of a deal, I already had most of it explored, expect the top left corner :P
This time, my 3rd time I decided to speed things up, risk, do battles and not waste movement. I played more carefully and the progress was wayy better than the first 2 attempts. I got the 2nd town at 3rd week(way sooner than other times) and the hero with the nagas, 6-7th week. Soon, I was strong, got magic dragons and was very strong. I couldn't win them completely though, without the town portal. They were all over the place.
At underground I built army fast, took battles till I got the cover of darkness. Then I was protected. Someone came, defeat lots of titans that protected me from the gate and left. Then I started my move and got the town with cover of darkness. I had no idea the AI was so stupid :P Also, many of them, even if they had money, they didn't build their armies. Only in the underground(pink was building everything of course, even though he was in the underground). On the surface, everyone was building all the armies. I guess, it's because of the cover of darkness. Maybe they didn't know someone was coming... Anyway, easily I got all towns, and used cover of darkness totally 1000times to not let pink with hundrends of liched to come. I couldn't touch him. I had no money to buy anything from underground or a hero THAT strong. So, Neela took the job.
After month 4-5(somewhere there) when I was 2nd strongest, had all underground towns etc, I did my kind of game, slowly, I stop tryharding, I was certain, I would eventually win. So, took town portal, explored, annoyed pink taking every town and then town portal away :P. It was fun. With a simple trick, I made pink stay at his town. He has only one town, so I stayed with Neela and only 22 azure dragons at a sanctuary nearby. He didn't make a move. AI problems. Not that it would change anything if he travelled, What can he do, only one person against the whole map...
So I fast forwarded 2-3 weeks and easily killed him, even though my stats weren't that great. I was level 44 though, so with Neela that is more than enough. I will send pictures.
About the map: I really enjoyed it. It was challenging, interesting, had much stuff to do. Both this map and scars of the old wars were also beautiful. It seems you have a love for random portals and cover of darkness xD. Me personally, I didn't find very attractive the quest stuff. The trades, what was asked of me sometimes, I didn't find them interesting to say "oh I must do that". I believe many seer's huts weren't worthy of time. Just my opinion of course. I also didn't use the "trading" artifacts much, but they may be important if you want to rush your win(I don't know). About the final boss, I was surprised to see that you hadn't equiped him with shackles of war. I could inflict damage, spells and then leave. I don't know if berserk was available, but if it was and I got it, then: Fight him, first move with Phoenix, cast berserk, then leave and repeat. Just an example. At a map this big, if the boss is only left, he will most probable lose in the end, unless he gets much army everyday, has super artifacts etc, so maybe you could make him more dangerous at mid game. 1-2 players (pink) came at some point, but their attack defence were low. Also the sanctuary thing got them hugging the castles that took from me. But the sanctuaries are important to ban them without tavern and anything. These are what came in the top of my head. But the fact that this map is challenging, interesting and fun remains. I shall be waiting for your next map. I noticed you had more than these 2, maybe I should check them out.

Big congrats on finishing this map! - Seven Dark Souls
Thanks a lot for your detailed review. I am glad that game was challenging almost till the end. I will try to improve quests so they will be more interesting & worth doing and will probably change version to pure Hota in order to fix graphic design issues in obelisks places. Also, I am wondering about dificulty level since you had perfect start; I mean if i give "shackles of war" to the pink player it might be too hard for less experianced player to end this map, however, I will surely consider this in the next patch. I also can see that you used trick with sanctuary - good job - not many people know how to use them properly :D
I think that my next map won't be released earlier than in ~1,5 year since i have tons of work with creating individual plots for 8 players and a proper balance (since it is 4 x biger than "XL" - it is "G" size map). Btw "It seems you have a love for random portals and cover of darkness (...)" - ye that's absolutely true, however, in my next map there is much less of them xD
For completing the game you get a teaser trailer for my next map :P

Wow, beautiful! Also size G AND 8 players. That's great. I love repeatability maps. The 1.5 years kind of suck a bit, but it's totally understandable. It required immense patience and time to check the map balance/bug issues.
I kind of improved my confidence in early game mechanics with your map :P I didn't believe that I would be able to win such battles at first 2 weeks. I mean I have experience and all, but still. Maybe I will start reducing the number of reloads, because versus players, a mistake can be fatal. Now that I finished your map, I have to study more lol. Or maybe.. maybe.. now with improved confidence at my "rushing skills" I can go to another map I have in mind xD. One that I was pretty close to the end, but yeah... reached around >=13th month and suddenly error :P hope in hota the problem won't persist, in case I won't finish earlier of course. Well, I went off topic, but I kinda have the familiarity now, I mean you gave me leaks of your next work. Anyway, I don't want to ramble again and spoil the thread. Good Luck to everything you do!

Odnoszac sie do Twojej sugestii chodzi o "Serce piekiel/ Hell's Heart"? bo tylko inferno w podziemiach ma ten budynek zablokowany (ze wzgledu na balans) natomiast inferno na powierzchni ma mozliwosc zbudowania budynku wrota wymiarow.

Wystarczy uruchomić mapę pod dodatkiem Sod i/lub na najniższym poziomie trudności. Wówczas będziesz mieć odpowiednią liczbę surowców by w pierwszym dniu zdobyć drugiego ducha opresji oraz przejąć dwa pierwsze zamki w nadziemiach bez konieczności pokonywania garnizonów.

Author: myth (Craiova, Romania), 01-02-2018 22:49 LOL WTF - Seven Dark Souls I really thought that I'm better at this game. After several fails (usually in months 3 to 5 it was obvious I had no chance and I got overwhelmed by enemies coming from all corners and I had no TP), I've decided to add some help. Like, I placed TP in a town for a hero and I removed that event asking for 500k and what not for boots to walk over water. Even if I got stuff going and it's only me and the one with the bosses left, I got crushed by this guy. Needless to say, I think he's got at least two more heroes that can kick my ass. Yea, I can grab several armies from around the 40 castles I have, but I highly doubt I can beat this guy. I don't know polish and maybe I lost some crucial things, but I don't think so :D. I suck alot. Anyway, very nice map, design and develop of play. But banning TP... dunno, it's too much for me. Even so, with TP added by me I did nothing in the end. Will not restart because I did my best.

However this map is very hard and as in description if You are not a tournament player this map can turn into impossible game. I suggest to play on easier difficulty on sod version of heroes 3.
Answering Your question TP was available from begin as a reward for killing one of "the finnal" bosses in seeker hut on position (66,88,1) also FLY was available at (114,78,1). Both spells help much during the end part of this map.
This map is possible to win without any changing spells in castle etc. (many people ended it, as example You can see “Jox” player whose reviews are below). All that is needed is just a proper strategy, which was explained in each race plot (unfortunately only in polish :( ). The key for victory is (in big shortcut) to get all your side creature camp in first week -> then rush second castle -> try to collect heroes with 55 lvl 6 units -> focus on gathering magic dragons from different places -> take some talismans to trade them for useful spells in underground Conflux cities areas -> kill all “Vakestler” bosses as fast as they spawn on map because otherwise You can die very easily as You proofed with added photo.
Also I recommend for You to play my other map “Scars of the old wars” it is fully translated and a bit easier, yet still funny in my opinion :)

Author: Jox, 11-11-2017 23:57 Dobra mapa! - Seven Dark Souls Naprawdę przyjemna mapa, nigdy nie sądziłem, że mogę się dobrze bawić przy mapie, gdzie mogę sobie wybrać dowolny kolor.
Jestem w 2/3/1 i przyznam, że do tej pory gra była sporym wyzwaniem i musiałem bardzo kombinować. Niestety, teraz(gram czerwonym) mając arcydiabły, czarne i magiczne smoki oraz jakieś 60 ifrytów od wyzwolonego bohatera, nie jestem już nawet najsłabszy w sile armii, co jednoznacznie pokazuje, że przynajmniej kilku przeciwników nie będzie wielkim wyzwaniem.
Muszę bardzo pochwalić to, że rozgrywka dzieje się na 2 frontach i gracz musi myśleć jak rozwijać się na obu, żeby nie przegrać. Brak zasobów jako czynnik determinujący szybkość rozwoju i fakt, że musiałem zgromadzić po 15 każdego przed 1/4/7 tym bardziej wystawiał gracza na próbę. Tak czy siak, ode mnie 10/10 :)

Racja - Seven Dark Souls
Miałeś rację :) póki co 3/4/1 - mam podbite wszystkie podziemne startowe miasta i tylko kwestią czasu jest, gdy przebiję się na powierzchnię nimi. Zdobyłem statuę legionów i mam kilka itemków dających +statystyki i tu powodzi mi się świetnie
Dużo gorzej ma się sytuacja w drugiej części. Moja startowa lokacja została podbita przez niebieskiego, który ogólnie jest najsilniejszy, ja zaś pokonałem pomarańczowego. Udało mi się podebrać bohatera z 55 czarnymi jeźdźcami i tylko dzięki temu mam jeszcze armię, wciąż liczę, że znajdę więcej takich bohaterów, bo nie mam skąd brać już armii, a każda walka jeszcze bardziej uszczupla moje niedobitki.
Sytuacja jest wciąż napięta, a kilku wrogów ma armie, które mogą mnie zmieść bez problemu, więc trzeba ich unikać. Jeszcze z miesiąc minie zanim zacznę się na dobre odgrywać, tylko co potem? Liczę na ciekawy obrót spraw :)

Podpowiedź - Seven Dark Souls
Taka tylko drobna podpowiedź:
Bardzo istotne oprócz zdobywania tych więzień jest rekrutowanie fenixów oraz zbieranie magicznych smoków. Podobnie polecam wymieniać artefakty za spelle w poszczególnych ostojach :)

Wygrana - Seven Dark Souls
Udało się wygrać. 239 dni i wynik 442. Mapa naprawdę ciekawa i nawet gdy pokonałem wszystkich poza różowym, to stanowił on pewne minimalne wyzwanie, co było dość zaskakujące. Niestety mapa jest tak skonstruowana, że nie tylko gracz błądzi, ale komputery też, przez co wszyscy silni bohaterowie większoś&# 263; czasu spędzali losowo teleportując się z miejsca na miejsce i czekając aż zbiorę siły by ich zniszczyć. Ale coś za coś - ten labirynt to naprawdę świetny aspekt tej mapy!
Przyznam się bez bicia, że wczytywałem na potęgę, w pewnym momencie nawet zacząłem wczytywać żeby znaleźć się w odpowiednim miejscu gdy używałem teleportu - bez tego byłoby znaacznie ciężej, w sumie nie chce mi się wierzyć, że można wygrać tę mapę bez wczytywania w ogóle :)
Poziom różowego gracza był bardzo dobrze wyważony, podobało mi się połączenie zbroi rzucającej spowolnienie itp oraz czerwonej kulki nie pozwalającej używać zaklęć, walki bez magii i gdy obie strony mają pelno negatywnych zaklęć na siebie rzucone - tego w mojej dłuuugiej karierze gracza jeszcze nie spotkałem! Dzięki wielkie za tę mapkę, naprawdę dobrze się przy niej bawiłem! :D

Gratulacje - Seven Dark Souls
Gratuluję ukończenia mapy :) Cieszę się, że rozrywka sprawiała frajdę do samego końca :)
Zachęcam również do zagrania w moją inną mapę: "Scars of old wars" (wersja po polsku) lub "Scars of the old wars" (wersja po angielsku). Co prawda, w porównaniu do tej, jest znacznie prostsza ale według mnie ma znacznie ciekawszą fabułę :)
Author: Andrew, 05-11-2017 15:56 Map - Seven Dark Souls Both your maps look good from every side, but it is really bad, that they are not understandable unless you know Polish. It would be very nice if you could translate them.
