Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness Hints

Mission 2: Raid at Hillsbrad

  • Mission Objectives:

    - Rescue Zuljin and his Trolls
    - Escort Zuljin to the Circle of Power

    Although you have the ability to make a base in this level, you really shouldn't need to.  You start in the lower-right hand corner.  Take your nine Grunts up north, and kill the Footman and Archer.  Slightly to the northeast of these guys, you'll find a Watch Tower and a few humans guards.  Get rid of the humans, then destroy the tower (don't worry ... the tower can't hurt you).   Then, break down the walls, and enter.  The Trolls should be added to your party (Zuljin is the Troll with the green hair).  Take about four Trolls, four Grunts, and Zuljin to the west, until you reach a four-way intersection in the ice.  Then, go south until you can't go any further, then go west.   You should find two Watch Towers (they won't harm you, they're yours).  Proceed north to where you find the Circle of Power, then move Zuljin in there.  You should encounter a few human soldiers along the way, but nothing your platoon can't take care of.
