 You'll be facing many level-2 undead. They're all dangerous but three kinds require special attention:
-* Spectres (level2 ghosts) are fast in every terrain, somewhat hard to hit, resistant to all common kinds of damage, and have a draining attack. Attacking them in melee is not recommended, killing them with arrows will eventually work but takes many arrows. They are vulnerable to arcane spells and fireballs, though.
+* Wraiths (level 2 Ghosts) are fast in every terrain, somewhat hard to hit, resistant to all common kinds of damage, and have a draining attack. Attacking them in melee is not recommended, killing them with arrows will eventually work but takes many arrows. They are vulnerable to arcane spells and fireballs, though.
 * Walking Corpses: they're slow, they're weak, they're fragile. Usually nothing to worry about, but this time they're many. Hordes. Night of the Living Dead. A strong fighter will easily slay them, but that can become his downfall: an attacking corpse that gets killed makes room for the next corpse to move in and attack... and the next, and the next, and each one gets a few blows. Even a Paladin or Champion will eventually be overwhelmed, taking around ten or fifteen zombies with him. Whether you consider this to be a good exchange is up to you. Incidentally, something similar can happen between Paladins and level-1 Skeletons.
 * Chocobones: Basically undead horsemen, but even faster. At night, hitting with their charge attack can do a full 56 damage. This is more than any other enemy except the Liches, enough to take out nearly any of your units in a single turn. Always stay aware of where they are on the map, and make sure to screen your valuable units with disposable fodder like Elvish Fighters. Once the Chocobone charges in and attacks one of your disposable units, your top priority is to either kill or Slow it before it can attack again. Note that Chocobones are also less resistant to piercing than the other skeletal undead, so you can actually take them down with arrows if your magic users are needed elsewhere.

 You start the scenario with one rider who suggests to scout ahead: that's a good idea, even though you may choose another unit for the task. If you happen to have a ''quick'' Lancer, it could be a good idea to use it for this purpose, but anyone reaching an entrance will tell you whether it's open or not.
-Alternatively, if you played [[#Scenario 5b - Isle of the Damned | scenario 5b Isle of the Damned]], one of your outlaws will tell you about his uncle who used to have business with the dwarves, hiding in a village along the way (at position [18,24], you'd probably seize it anyway). The uncle is a loyal Bandit who joins your troops; he also tells you which entrance to choose, the main gate or mine tunnels. It pays off to actually read that dialog.

 The most minimalistic approach is to recruit one castle full of cavalry and RUN. The enemies have to cover some distance and cross difficult terrain in order to get in your way -- if Konrad starts running on turn one, he can move past them practically unopposed. It falls to the cavalry to bring up the rear: let them form a line somewhere near the Pillars of Thunedain while Konrad, Delfador and the other walkers keep going. Holding the line for a single turn is enough, then the riders may follow Konrad, leaving the pursuers behind and unable to catch up again (except for the wolves, but there shouldn't be many).

 You can still follow this basic principle if you recruit for two turns, adding a healer or two and perhaps some Rangers (their ambushes will stop many opponents). If you recruit for more than two turns, this will become a rather normal battle: your rearguard can no longer disengage, but will have to keep on fighting. There's nothing wrong with that, you can gain quite some experience that way, just don't forget the actual objective.
-It's useful to know that moving any unit close to the small lake near the main entrance (any position inside the square between [10, 10] and [15, 15]) will cause an aquatic monster to appear. It will attack anything that moves (including orcs and trolls) and poisons its victims, so watch out.

 The main feature of this scenario, as its name suggests, is the terrain. Both armies will be slowed down by the snow. You may try recalling thieves and elves, who are not slowed down as much as other types of units. Another good choice is horsemen (Knights, Paladins, Lancers), which will have a field day, given that the enemy tends to scatter some of its units throughout the map where they will be sitting targets.
-You can find the [[Flaming Sword]]—a remarkable weapon of type melee-fire, magical, and 25% increased damage—on the great tree at [29,9]. You can equip it to one of your fighter heroes (Konrad, Kalenz, Li'sar) or any level 2~3 unit from the Elvish Fighter line, or to Paladins. A good idea is to give it to the unit you like to use the most in your front lines (but not to the same person with the Sceptre of Fire).

 The Orcish leader will have a good flow of income, so once you gain control of the map, you can milk the battle for experience, in case any of your units need it.

 Remember those loyal mermen from [[#Scenario 4 - The Bay of Pearls| scenario 4 The Bay of Pearls]]? They should comprise your principal fighting force. Be sure to send one downstream to acquire the Storm Trident there. If you have some of the flying elvish units, they move and fight equally well over land or water. Wait for the Orcs and Humans to get into the water where the mermen have excellent defense while the landlubbers do not.
-Even if you have the money, don't recruit for more than two turns, otherwise Konrad might not even make it into the river. The scenario ends as soon as he makes it to the other side (off the sand beach and onto flat ground) -- by the time he gets there, there will be few orcs left on that shore, Kalenz and Delfador can well deal with them. If you recruit any land troops at all (healers perhaps?), make sure they have at least two moves in shallow water.
