Vengeance walkthrough: city gates, reinforcements and Rivendare

The opening conversation assigns Ilastar the side gate and portcullises. Garek leads the street-level force while Ilastar scouts above. At 0:45, The Baron establishes the mission target and requires both heroes to survive.

1. Send Ilastar along the side route described in the opening conversation. Use his progress above the street to open the way for Garek.
2. Advance Garek and the soldiers through each opened passage. If their route is blocked, check Ilastar’s position and the upper route before sending Garek repeatedly into the closed gate.
3. Alternate attention between the two groups. Clear nearby threats and check the other hero’s health before moving on; one safe group does not guarantee the other hero is safe.

Around 3:00 the recording shows a Mortar Team rescue near Alonsus Chapel. At 6:00 the groups are still on different levels; by 11:57 both heroes and the expanded force are together in the streets.

1. Clear enemies around the units you encounter and bring rescued troops into your group. Keep the Mortar Teams with protection rather than letting them lead into the next fight.
2. Continue the street and upper routes until Garek and Ilastar can regroup. Use the 11:57 checkpoint in the source to compare your position with the reunited force.
3. Before the next advance, select the whole fighting group and account for units left behind at a previous fight or gate. Kingy recommends reviewing health, mana and equipment here; no particular army size or build is claimed as mandatory.

The game explicitly labels Plague Mushrooms as optional. At 8:56 the counter shows one of three giant mushrooms destroyed. The recording establishes the count, but this guide does not map all three locations or verify the reward.

1. If you are completing side objectives, destroy giant plague mushrooms you encounter and check that the quest counter advances.
2. Use the named optional quest to track this detour separately from The Baron. A mushroom counter below three is not evidence that the main mission target has changed.
3. Keep a save before committing to the final confrontation if you want to return to unfinished exploration.

The reunited group progresses through Stratholme’s streets and encounters civilians. At 26:54 the dialogue says soldiers can keep searching for civilians while the heroes confront Rivendare.

1. Advance the force through the cleared street route and deal with enemy groups blocking the way. Bring rescued units forward before committing the heroes to the next engagement.
2. At the final approach, review the active main quest and finish any exploration you want to do before entering. This guide does not assume that every civilian or side objective has been completed.
3. Bring Garek and Ilastar to the chapel confrontation and let the opening dialogue finish. The recorded boss fight proceeds with the two heroes.

At 28:00 both heroes are fighting Rivendare inside the chapel. The game marks The Baron complete at 28:24, followed by the ending cinematic. The short duration of this recorded fight is not a benchmark for another difficulty or build.

1. Fight Rivendare while monitoring both heroes. Use the abilities and supplies available in your game; inspect their current tooltips rather than assuming a fixed rotation from this guide.
2. If a hero is taking too much damage, reposition that hero and use available recovery tools. If the attempt fails, retry from your pre-encounter save after checking health, mana and equipment.
3. Confirm The Baron is complete and allow the closing sequence to finish. Follow the game’s campaign continuation from there; the main Forsaken Kingdom campaign is beyond this walkthrough.
