00:04In Black Arts 2 you will have to go up against a lot of different enemies on huge battlemaps and
00:10you will probably already know some of the monsters from the first game.
00:13But there are a lot of completely new challenges waiting for you.
00:17You will have to bring down 4 wizards that have magically created new monsters.
00:22These creators are the ones who provide Marwan with unnatural beasts like the Louse Queen in the first Black Arts
00:28game.
00:28But they did not stop at just one monstrosity.
00:33There is Ticatus, for instance, a classic villain without morals, obsessed with the secret of beauty and the art of
00:39creation.
00:40But himself, he forms disgusting, patchwork creatures out of dead flesh.
00:44He is the one to create the so-called Leapers, bizarre creatures made of skeleton parts and raw muscle.
00:51They can jump across the battlefield and crush enemies beneath them, dealing a lot of damage and possibly throwing units
00:56of walkways and bridges.
00:58If a unit actually ends up trapped underneath, the Leapers will suck the life out of them, regenerating their own
01:04vitality.
01:05Putting all your heroes close together on this same spot can prove to be deadly in a fight against these
01:10creatures.
01:13Unlike the undead Leapers, the Sand Ghosts are made of sand.
01:17A man named Adamant created them following an ancient Tullimidian tradition.
01:22Sand Ghosts can attack a single target with a ranged attack of flying sand or they can create a sandstorm
01:28which will knock down several units in a row.
01:30In this form, they can move quickly across the map.
01:34In melee fights, they are able to swallow a whole unit and hold it in sight until they are killed
01:39themselves or begin a storm attack, dealing damage to the trapped unit each round.
01:44The great weakness of the Sand Ghosts are magic attacks.
01:49Shina Al Shina, the mother of insects, is probably the most weird among the mages serving Marwan.
01:56She came up with a rather far-fetched idea to merge humans with insects.
02:01The resulting creatures are intelligent, sometimes able to fly and have four arms which often wield a longsword.
02:07Some of them also use different combinations of weapons, bows, daggers or two-handed weapons.
02:13A very rare breed is able to cast spells.
02:15The flying breed is, of course, extremely fast.
02:18They rely on their chitinous armor which allows them to ignore a lot of damage.
02:23A targeted stab which ignores armor is a good way to deal with them.
02:32The tree-like creatures called Jasperwood have been created by a mage only known as the Druid.
02:38He combined trees with animals and machine parts and so allowed them to move across a battlefield and batter down
02:44enemies with huge wooden fists.
02:46Their ranged attack can come as a surprise.
02:48They dig into the ground and send metal-tipped roots through the earth.
02:53Because of their nature as plants, these tree-creatures are extremely hardy.
02:57They can throw enemies back with heavy attacks and deal huge amount of damage.
03:02Jasperwood is protected on all sides by beehives which have to be destroyed before you can attack the tree-creatures
03:07directly.
03:09And the best way to do this is with fire.
03:19All these creatures have one common weakness.
03:22Without extra precautions, they only follow the orders of their creators.
03:27To allow Marwan and his armies to use the Chimera in battle, the Chimerologists had to create a control spell.
03:33To this end, they built the so-called Hell Organs, music instruments whose sounds force the Chimera, tree-creatures and
03:40undead monsters to follow the will of the one who plays the organ, as long as he or she knows
03:46the melody needed.
03:47And even then, the magic will only work if the monster is inside a magic circle that is connected to
03:53the organ.
03:53If you have to go up against these new enemies, prepare for their tactics and abilities.
03:58Or go and find the melodies to control them.
04:01Then you only have to lure the creature into the right position to take over control and use their powers
04:06of destruction for your own goals.
