Here is a good image guide by Seamus1! With Elites

LAST CAMP = 175R - 75E ( DON'T USE X-BOWS )

Special Thanks to ThankMe from Northisle

[BlueFairy]

As there are different difficulty levels... can people please write what level they are when they post and/or include the bandit troops. I do understand that this will take more time, but it will be more useful for those that are looking for help:)

And for those that are looking at these - it might be worth simulating a few camps yourself to ensure that the difficulty level in your adv matches what are in these guides. Otherwise you might find that you have lost a lot more troops than expected

Careful on camp 12, with that setup u'll lose cavalry!!!

[Illumion]

The Mystical shaman has "Attack weakest target" and "Splash damage", which means using Crossbowmen will be disastrous (camp 14).
Could be that the description is wrong (he has no "Attack weakest target") or that guide is a from a lower difficulty adventure than mine (I'm level 49).

[arrakis]

im only level 32 and dont have elite soldiers or xbow what do i do and need i need help

[Scorpio1980]

so this guide is ok till camp 12 ???

For start, you can use this link (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/16332-Guide-Killste-Collected-Adventure-Guides-by-Various-Authors?p=227943&viewfull=1#post227943)

But in the end at hard camps you need several waves.

[Coraline]

I'm Level 45 so if you are lower/higher you *might* have a different setup, but here is my guide so far... I'll edit once I get the last 3 camps sorted out.

No blocking in this guide, but there is the opportunity if you are able. (Camps 2 & 6 Easy 1R blocks, others might need more troops to block with).

in last camp you can use bowmen insted of recs and your xbow wount suffer

[RaraRacing]

I'm Lvl 35. Attacking with 2 regular generals ... just finished 2 adventures back-to-back so am low on resources, this will take a while for me to complete.

Reward for removing stones blocking path quest: 25 Balloons.

Sector 1
Camp 1: 100 Scav, 50 Ranger.
Attacked with 55R, 145C ... lost 49R.
Camp 2: 80 Scav.
Attacked with 22R, 178C ... lost 19R.
Leader Camp 1: 50 Scav, 50 Guard Dog, 80 Stone Thrower.
Attacked with 130R, 70S ... lost 114R.

(moved army to little village)

Sector 2
Camp 4: 80 Scav, 100 Thug.
- skipped.
Camp 5: 90 Scav, 80 Ranger.
- skipped.
Camp 6: 80 Scav, 80 Stone Thrower.
Attacked with 40R, 160C ... lost 35R.
Leader Camp 2: 100 Scav, 80 Guard Dog, 1 Skunk.
Attacked with 77R, 123S ... lost 72R.

Will complete this as I slowly move through the adventure. I realise that you can skip straight through to to the village after sector 2, but am going through this camp by camp.
--> Got bored so skipped 2 camps in sector 2. Got no reward for "clear Sector 1" quest.

It is taking me too long to complete this adventure to be of any use to anyone ... have no resources ready to get the needed Recruits for the next camps. Sorry guys, tried my best.

cheers.

Ideas for blocks on Shaman adventure


Here is a good image guide by Seamus1! With Elites

http://www.thesettlersonlinewiki.com/images/adventures/guides/shaman-no%20blocks%20-with-Elites.JPG (http://www.thesettlersonlinewiki.com/images/adventures/guides/shaman-no%20blocks%20-with-Elites.JPG)

Special Thanks to ThankMe from Northisle

I'll add some simple blocks based on this map as I work my way through the adventure:

Camps 2 and 3
Place blocking (normal) general as close as you can (ie where the map says "G1"). Place attacking general just behind. The precise location of the generals doesn't matter, but it's easier if they're close together like this.

Preview the path of the attacking general and count 10 flags. Remember the location of the tenth flag. It should be somewhere around the dead tree near the entrance to the first sector if you've placed the generals as described above.

Send the blocking general at camp 2, then get your attacking general ready to attack camp 3. Send the attacking general just after the blocking general has reached the 10th flag of the preview path.

Camps 4 and 5
Move blocking (normal) general as close as possible (ie where the map says "G2"). Place attacking (fast) general at the second closest position available, below and to the left of the normal general (ie just below the retro hut, to the left of the retro well).

Blocking general: 5 Elites, 150 Cavalry
a 1R block is probably possible, but looks very tight. Instead, a fight with this set-up will last at least 4 rounds, which should always be enough:

For the attacking general, any attack scheme that takes 2 rounds is pretty sure to work, which means you really need to be using a veteran. If you only have a battle hardened general, 40 Militia and 160 soldiers almost always takes 2 rounds and you'll lose around 5 of the soldiers.

Send the blocking general first, and the attacking general immediately afterwards.

I've been doing various math crafting for people without Elites or Crossbow.

[Lord-DrX]

You can do the first 2 sectors with 1R blocks too..
Placing is easy.. it's like it was made for it..

how you skipped one more sector to shaman

One of the first quests you get is to click on the rocks... If you click on the rocks... you can move your generals straight to G2 position...

[EctoRune]

A safe attack on the shaman camp is 125 recruits, 125 cannons. If you don't have cannons, it might be better to use two attacks, I haven't done the maths.

Edit:
150r, 50s, 50e will get you through losing about 20 soldiers. Obviously this isn't an optimized setup, but it's safe :)

[avatar_nik]

where are the stones you need to click on ?

[Illumion]

A safe attack on the shaman camp is 125 recruits, 125 cannons. If you don't have cannons, it might be better to use two attacks, I haven't done the maths.

I used 100 Recruits, 20 Militia, 130 Cannoneers (2 rounds, 96R lost). 120 Recruits, 130 Cannoneers will probably do the trick also.

The camp with 80 Cultists, 60 Shadowsneakers, 50 Firedancers can be blocked using 180 Recruits (3 rounds, 100% chance of victory).
Place the blocking general next to the witch tower and the attacking general on the other side of the rocks (as close as possible) and send the attacker out first, followed by the blocker. You may want to let the attacker walk a few flags before sending out the blocker.

It might be possible to block the camp with 40 Shadowsneakers, 80 Firedancers, 80 Dancing Dervishes, but I haven't tried it.
I used a two wave attack. Wave 1: 100 Recruits; wave 2: 4 Recruits, 1 Elite Soldier, 135 Cavalry, 110 Crossbowmen (max. 104R lost).

Done it with 150R 40S 60E and lost only 4S. My guess is if you use 150R 20S 80E you will lose only R

[EctoRune]

You're most likely right. But for the most part, I prefer losing a few extra recruits and soldiers, rather than risk losing elites.

Until one of the simulators get the Shaman built in, perfecting an attack will be quite cumbersome.

I'm sure it can still be tweaked for x-bows but was designed for a few of our lower guildies, but at least it's something.

[fairyfalls]

Serial, yes it is true no loot.

I'm sure it can still be tweaked for x-bows but was designed for a few of our lower guildies, but at least it's something.

if you made it for the lower guildies, in your guild, wy did you make it with elite soldies, then ?

If people doesn't have x-bows, then they don't have elites either ....

otherwise, i think it's great work, you've done there :)

Elite was for anyone in guild higher wanting guide as well, Soldiers was for lower, to clarify if you are lower follow the ones that state soldiers, if higher follow the one that says elite. TY for thanks my 1st guide

Hi! I found possibility to use round block on camp 9, saving some recruits. You will need 1 normal General for block, and BHG for leader camp.

http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/9483/55nw.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/580/55nw.jpg/)http://

send generals right after each other.

Setup:
Blocking general: 75S 125C [ - ]; (6-12 round, [8]); that is around 160sec.
BHG : 115R 5S 40C 40 XB [115R - 2S ]; (need 57 sec to reach camp)

All garrison setups have been simulated 9000 times, using simulator.
But as I am only human, errors might always appear.
Therefore, I recommend that you double-check all setups in the simulator, especially before trying an attack.

I know some of you have finished this already but thought this might help those who haven't and for when it is set again in the 4 week stage of the event.

1. No elites
2. No blocks.
3. Used a vet....ask me to do again if no vet and not sure.
4. Minimum losses possible

The easy bits

Stone wall between zones 1 and 2. Click on it and it falls apart. 2 sections.

Camp1 100 scavenger, 50 ranger. Use 50R, 200C. Lose 31 to 33R
Camp2 80 scavengers. Use 50R, 200C. Lose 16 to 18R
Camp3 (1st leader) 50 scavenger, 50 dogs, 80 stonethrower. Use 90R, 160S. Lose 89R to 90R, 1S

Move your general to the area between zones 2 and 3, near the tavern, and do zone 2.

Camp4 80 scavenger, 80 stonethrower. Use 30R, 200C, 20B. Lose 27 to 29R
Camp5 (2nd leader) 100 scavenger, 80 dogs. Use 70R, 180S. Lose 62 to 64 R

Now do the camps behind you in zone 3.

Camp6 100 scavenger, 80 dogs. Use 70R, 180S. Lose 62 to 64R.
Camp7 100 dogs, 80 rangers. Use 90R, 160S. Lose 74 to 77R
Camp8 100 scavenger, 40 dogs, 50 stone thrower.Use 90R, 160S. Lose 90R
Camp9 180 thugs. Use 130R, 120Xbows. Lose 120 to 122R
Camp10 (3rd leader) 80 scavenger, 100 ranger, 1 one eyed Bert. Use 50R, 140C, 60Xbow. Lose 46R

Then the hard camps

You can skip the camp with 80 cultists and 80 fanatics in it.

Camp11 60 cultist, 80 shadowsneakers, 60 dark priests. Use 110R, 140S. Lose 104 to 107R
Camp12 40 shadowsneakersa, 80 firedancers, 80 dancing dervish. Use 50R, 60B, 140Xbow Lose 50R, 40B
Camp13 80 cultist, 60 shadowsneakers, 50 firedancer. Use 110R, 140S. Lose 128 to 132R

Final camp 100 cultist, 1 witch of the swamp, 1 mystical shaman.

To beat this you need to send two waves.

1st wave 170R. Lose 170R
2nd wave 147R, 103S. Lose 72R.....and done!!

[brazuca]

I did 1R block on last leader, if you want you can try, just get ready to call your general back if he got intercepted.

Thank you Gubec_Beg , it works :)
if you have vet then use this combination 60R 5E/s 125C 60XB [50R-53R]; (2 round) instead of BHG

[Fexno]

And ofcourse Tage is much better at this then me, see Tage's guide to "The shaman"



Final camp:
100 Cultist: 40 hitpoints (15-30 dmg, 80%)
1 Witch of the swamp: 13000 hitpoints (400-600 dmg, 75%, Splash damage, First strike)
1 Mystical shaman: 9000 hitpoints (200-500 dmg, 70%, Splash damage, Attacks weakest target)

First wave: : 151 Recruits
151 Recruits will kill 100 cultists:

100 Cultists died
151 Recruits died


Second wave: 15 Recruits, 100 Bowmen, 135 Crossbowmen

Simulation:
1st round - first strike
Witch of the swamp attacks Recruits: doing max 600 dmg and thus killing max 15 Recruits

15 Recruits died


1st round - normal units (assuming no Recruits survived)
100 Bowmen and max 123 Crossbowmen attack Witch of the swamp: doing at least 13000 damage
at least 12 Crossbowmen attack Mystical shaman: doing at least 1000 damage
-
Mystical shaman attacks Bowmen: doing max 500 dmg and thus killing max 50 Bowmen

Witch of the swamp died
50 Bowmen died


2nd round - normal units (assuming 50 Bowmen killed)
50 Bowmen and 135 Crossbowmen attack Mystical shaman: doing a lot more then 9000 damage
-
Mystical shaman attacks Bowmen: doing max 500 dmg and thus killing max 50 Bowmen

Mystical shaman died
50 bowmen died

You are victorious!

NOTE: all calculation for the Mystical shaman were done by hand, while double checking (where possible) with this simulator (http://settlersonlinesimulator.com/dso_kampfsimulator/en/). At the time of writing the Mystical shaman only had 900 hitpoints in that simulator. Of course I used this setup on the final camp myself, and it went as expected.

[Gubec_Beg]

That's very nice Fexno, but what about people without Veteran general???

[DaliLB]

1.how'd you skip C3 and C4 ?
2.why skip. no reward if all camps isn't cleared

Lol, was just starting to create a version 2 (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiE8hpjNKda_dFZucnZxcS1DQ19Rb2lWc2xYQzJMR kE#gid=7) with spangly map :) Not much point now. That said it is worth looking at my slightly modified version as I think there are a few minor differences :)

[webJose]

I started the adventure without any "real" guide, so I ended up starting my own. It is now finished. I use the 40C suicidal wave for the second-to-last camp posted in this thread, and I use Tage's final attack modified, as I used it myself and ended up losing soldiers, so I basically exchanged recruits for militia.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-JBycRb0eKMFZpVjM4aHBfZVE/edit?usp=sharing

Using my guide, I lost some 400R, 130M, 40C, 20S and 150B, if I remember correctly. Pretty good, I'd say, all things considered. :D

[Lovacska]

Ouch loot is 5 balloons and 14200xp :-S

[cashflowthegame]

Hi,

don't use in last wave bow mans or LB or XB's, look on my pictures please:

Wave one was 200R,

Second 110R, 20S, 70XB using regular general:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ngjbpkllzv9fp9n/The%20Shaman%20last%20camp%202nd%20wave.PNG

I've won, but why I should use any bow folks??? No point, leader shaman has only 9000 points where witch of the swamp has there 13000. She's first for attack and then leader it self. Try not to use your B folks.

Here is what losses I had at the end:

The guides tell you to use bowmans to tank the hits from the shaman to avoid losing valuable crossbows (you lost 70 crossbows with your setup).
Also you don't have to use 200R for the first wave, since all they will manage to take out is the Cultists anyways, about 150 should be enough to handle those.

[MrBranch]

Just started the adventure.
Got a little scared after having a look at all camps. Have to agree with RaraRacing. This one is tough for level 35. I will give it a try, but this might prove to difficult.

[RaraRacing]

@ MrBranch

Mordechaj (just above your post) has a good walkthrough ... if you have normal generals then try the 200 Soldier one ... I would use my army set-up for the camps in sector 1 though, lose a couple less Recruits ... especially the camp Mordechaj has labelled as #3.

I didn't continue past the village.

good luck.

[MrBranch]

Wow, I managed to pull this one of. I wonder how many level 35 players have done so.
This one costed me dearly. Doing Witch of the Swamp three times would have cost me less resources and have gained me more XP and loot.

WARNING FOR LOW LEVEL PLAYERS: DO NOT EVEN TRY TO PLAY THIS ADVENTURE WITHOUT AN IMPROVED DRILL PLAN!!!
(should be part of the loot instead of only XP if you'd ask me)

SUGGESTION FOR LOW LEVEL PLAYERS:
RaraRacing is right. Mordechaj's walkthrough is costing too many recruits and to my opinion in almost every camp.
It's a good walkthrough to follow if you do not intend to lose any soldiers, but when losing a few soldiers here and there your losses are less severe.

Notice: I have to defeat camps there were skipped by Mordechaj, such as the camp just on the right side of the yellow G2. This is because I had a different starting point (I started below G2).

Hereby my walkthrough for the first camps.

CAMP 1: 100 scavengers, 50 rangers
==> 148C, 52R
LOST: 50R

CAMP 2: 80 scavengers
==> 178C, 2S, 20R
LOST: 20R

CAMP 3: 50 guard dogs, 50 scavengers, 80 stone throwers
==> 52R, 148S
LOST: 52R, 20S

CAMP 4: 80 scavengers, 100 thugs
==> 30R, 46M, 124S
LOST: 30R, 46M, 20S

CAMP 5: 90 scavengers, 80 rangers
==> 148C, 52R
LOST: 47R

CAMP 6: 79 scavengers, 80 stone throwers
==> 110C, 37R, 53S
LOST: 34R

CAMP 7: 100 scavengers, 80 guard dogs, Skunk
==> 77R, 123S
LOST: 66R

CAMP 8: 100 scavengers, 80 guard dogs
==> 70R, 130S
LOST: 66R

CAMP 9: 100 guard dogs, 80 rangers
==> 68R, 132S
LOST: 49R, 4S

Sadly this is a bug, you'll need to contact Support (http://www.thesettlersonline.com/en/help-and-support)

[zadr007]

I have experienced the same problem and I think I know what action causes this.
It's possible to move garrison to G2 if you select general from Star menu. This is probably BB's bug.
You can break the adventure quest chain if you start to conquer camps 4 and 5 from this position.
All rocks disappear just after you defeat camp 5.

I use this guide (http://www.thesettlersonlinewiki.com/images/adventures/guides/shaman-no%20blocks%20-with-Elites.JPG) to explain locations.

[bingbongbong]

i once started this adv but then had to abandon that . NOw how do i get this back ??

[MrBranch]

One of the voucher codes grants both adventures: The Shaman and Old Ruins.
I think that's the only way at the moment to play it again.
