Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness Hints

Mission 2: Ambush at Tarren Mill

  • Mission Objectives:

    - Rescue an Archer
    - Return him to the Circle of Power

    Another easy mission.  Although you have ships and are able to build more things, you don't really need any of them.  Have your nine guys walk in a northwestern direction, killing any of the Grunts or Trolls that will try and stop you.  Once you reach the prison camp, destroy the Tower first, then take out the bad guys.  Break down the wall, and move your guys close to Archers until they become yours.  Take these Archers down back to your village at the Circle of Power.
