The Chosen Ones 1.0

[Istaryu]

Guys, i dont understand why this discussion is happening, its clearly stated that the campaign is made for 1.29.2, anything else you use you risk having bugs.

 

[BlasterSans]

And with the final blow to end the final boss. I finally clear the campaign.
He's such a joke compares to the other dragons. I just facetank everthing and can't die xd.
1 Give up used - Hardcore difficulty.

Time to do a second playthrough to get that End of an Era item.
Can't say I wanna face the epic boss of c10 again... Yugimar is a much more fun boss compare to Zyl and his death knights.

Here you go man.
You can either load from the end for my hardcore reward
Or load from Give up which has enough resource to last you until end game if you desire a non-hardcore reward playthrough.

Thanks, you're a lifesaver. And thanks to everyone keeping this masterpiece alive for so many years.

Also: now is the best time to request balance changes. I try to release 1.1 (major patch) as soon as possible, maybe within next week.

Just trying to fix all bugs found from this page:

That didn't fix the Lightning Storm too weak damage bug (it's like 1/5 the said damage), Lightning Ball forcing Fradz to patrol rather than move to an area in a control group (right click 1 then right click 2 to a different location means Fradz completes instead of cancels going to location 1 first in a control group) and Five Lightning Orbs bugging auction and chapter 7 puzzle and making WC3 crash if game goes long enough like in Chapter 7 because save file is too big. I like the new balance changes, subtle although probably not enough for some of them. Also is buffed Fire Power Phodom getting a lot of flat magic damage scaling per chapter intentional? If so, it's delicious. Getting as much damage as a stacked Galeoth first starting item in Chapter 6 feels so good. I wonder how good it feels if I had Meltdown and Fradz was more minus armor utility with Scissor Stab instead of caster Fradz and if I had Galeoth's first starting item that gives magic damage but Opportunist being a +gold item giving %magic damage aura is good enough. View attachment Screenshot.webp

but there needs to be more attack speed items i believe. It is the single most important element and only a couple items have bonus for it, such that you want to keep Fradz's starting item that gives %100 attack speed bonus throughout the game even though it has no other stats because it is such a huge buff and there is no other way to remedy it.

The problem is its stats fall short compared to other starting items. 25% attack speed is not worth keeping at all, especially since you usually build magic damage on Phodom

That item is another rare source of attack speed, however, that works with other characters like Galeoth. It's the first attack damage starting item that doesn't work on other characters. This, with the active, and speedy boots are the only other high attack speed items I believe. I think the low attack speeds and armors are intentional. Anyway, buffed Fire Power Phodom might be the new best carry despite Galeoth's crits getting buffed since Phodom gets the most %magic damage and each separate %magic damage is multiplicative to each other making Phodom by far the one that gets the most magic damage points period. Add to that he has the most and highest damaging spells like Ground Zero and Shield of Fire (no other character has heals that does scaling damage) and a DPS passive. You can keep your ult at level 1 to have your other lower cooldown skills do more damage since Phodom's ult is pure utility anyway. Alas, by this logic, there's no point in any damage ults since you can just pick a utility ult like Frozen Paradise and keep it at level 1 saving those other points for more damage on lower cooldown spells instead of waiting for Frozen Storm so I still think the game is unbalanced. @Aeroblyctos

Galeoth, if you didnt pick his 2 passives or wanted him to be skill caster, good luck beating late chapters

Also, what do you mean about 2 passives? Magic convert and?

Getting End of an Era while having done everything else in the campaign was pretty satisfying, thanks for the fix.

Did you grind the game and play all chapters multiple times this quickly to get enough rewards to get that? What's your strategy?

There are also some new commands in the Game Panel you can check out with (although it's not much just some exp disabling stuffs incase you use swapped out Mega/Giga/Tera Rings to avoid bugs)

What bug's the exp disabling used for?

Guys, i dont understand why this discussion is happening, its clearly stated that the campaign is made for 1.29.2, anything else you use you risk having bugs.

It used to be 1.24-1.28 only. The 1.29.2 is new and the bugs that used to happen for 1.29.2 on older versions still happen on the newer version.

 

[KingSad]

can i use cheats?

 

[exadpe]

Hello, If anybody is having the Dranei Tool Tip icon bug, or Sorceress slow icon bug,

I have done testing,

If you play on 1.27 'B' IT will bug. If you play on 1.27 'A' it is okay.

If you have patched your 1.27 installation to 1.27b, you can uninstall and reinstall, but dont update to 1.27b.

Why would you want to play at patch 1.27 ? : Warcraft Feature Extender. It gives you so many utilities not cheats such as CD indicators on icons and changeable hp mana bars, etc etc. very utility heavy application. you can zoom out, rotate camera etc etc.

So if you want to play this campaign for 1.27 version, make sure its patch 1.27a. otherwise your campaign can bug.

I have spent 3 hours on this problem to make sure. If you guys have any other finding Im sure the author and community would appreciate it.

I forgot to thank you for this amazing experience of a campaign. You Cleary had a dream like you stated and achieved something so great that people still can enjoy it 20 years later. Maybe my kid can try this campaign one day. I hope that people like author will always be amongst us, inspiring us and moving us forward. For that I thank you.

on version 1.29 Enengy Orb in the 1st chapter works as an Ultimate. I played TCO 1.1a

Hello, i got this bug, maybe its resources file but i dont know how to fix this, please help

i want to download resources but i dont know which one to download

 

[Dusthunter]

Alright, I checked the Campaign with World Editor, and there are 11 Heroic Achievements (earlier 7) in 1.1 version, 3 out of 4 new added achievements are: combine Phodom, Fradz and Galeoth's exclusive set.

The last heroic achievement is: found all eastern eggs in all Chapters (totally ten Chapters, each Chapter has one eastern egg).

So, my question is: has anyone successfully found all ten eastern eggs (Especially the eastern egg in Chapter 2)?

[HiddenAries]

I legit just created a HIVE Account just so I can comment here lol, and what I wanna say is, really good campaign so far. But what happened in chapter 5 kind of became a deal breaker for me. It was the lesser magic balls needing to be exactly the amount they need in order for them to be crafted. I currently have 9 lesser magic balls with no way of un stacking them (according to my knowledge that is). So I'm asking if there's a way to unstack them or do I have to redo the chapters again and get them exactly at the same amount they're needed in?

hello, when i try to click on Game progress at right top corner my game freezez, any help?

You are playing this campaign on TFT 1.27/1.29 or Reforged? The issue is The Chosen One was made for TFT 1.27/1.29 and has never been tested in Reforged. As such, you are bound to come across issues when playing this campaign with the latest patch (like the multiboard bug you said).

 

[Slay_it]

reforged but with classic grafics

reforged but with classic grafics

The original author said that he doesn't want to update this campaign on later versions of WC3 due to the unresolved bugs in this campaign, among the other bugs related to Blizzard. Please downgrade your game to either 1.27 or 1.29.2. if you want to play this campaign smoothly.

will do thanks for the reply

now the big issue is i have reforged, but i dont have a the 1.27 or 1.29 version, and when i try to install that versions they require cd key

You'll probably need a legitimate key for both Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne (TFT key is obsolete since 1.30.2).
However, since those versions don't work online anymore, you can safely use a dumb keys you found online.
Remember to start the game using "Warcraft III.exe" if you are using 1.29 version and nothing else.

 

[AkarinKana]

wait
Did this jus gets updated? o -o
Wait- o -o internal screaming

 

[QuarantineAbser]

This is the best map, campaign? No its a freaking standalone game, It could be made as a separate game, put it on Steam with models, arts and whatever you want and people would love it.

There should be a rating above everything for this one, should be called 'The Chosen One', insane quality, gameplay and lore. I actually don't know and did not check if this is existing story made in a game, or it was everything from the Author, the plot can go on and on.

There are bugs, but its huge, if Blizzard was tasked to do it, I would bet there would be more bugs than now, so can't complain there. 100/10. I will maybe replay it again with more game points, better knowledge and in general, it is re-playable.

I completed it on Hard and did every side quest, got to give props to @matias371, @cuan and @Evrial, saw their walkthroughs on yt to help me with items and sets that I should complete or sell. I haven't been invested this much in a playthrough in a while.. My only question is, why is everyone using the same spells, for my first playthrough I chose to copy the spells of a video I saw, but every video has the same spells, are they just the best, is it worth changing to have more fun, or it is not properly balanced and u cant proceed if its not like that?

Lastly, it was satisfying to make a monster out of Galeoth, by collecting items and doing all the quests.

Try the older version like 1.0 or 1.1. Also, you need to downgrade your WC3 version to at least 1.26-1.27.

I fixed chapter 9 boss' armor and made some little changes in chapter 10.

Version 1.9? Where is version 1.9? I made 1.0a should be the latest which I made short time ago.

Also: now is the best time to request balance changes. I try to release 1.1 (major patch) as soon as possible, maybe within next week.

Just trying to fix all bugs found from this page: https://tcocampaign.createaforum.com/12/(bug-thread)-version-1-0/

O M G it happened!

Finally after all this years we got you back, Aero!
I was doing some beta-testing for you before version 1.0 (ch.9) - Nickname was TrueZozi on tcocampaign.
I've just replayed the campaign and still was able to remember all those hints with quests and items. It is still above any of the expectations of epicness.

If you are still waiting for ideas for newly set items - let me copy my 5+ years old one:
Zhyon's set - combined from Tharo's Sword, Zeemnan's Shield and Axobada's hammer (as far as they are a son, father and grandfather).
As far as Zhyons are stronger than dragons - this set should be something special, but so does the way to obtain all 3 items (suppose that Axo's hammer could be found in Ch9 - but Axo's quest is not that hard - so maybe from Yurgrimar). Tharo's sword from Ch7, Zeemnan's shield from Ch8. What it should give - an extremely fast attack speed from Tharo's sword (he was able to stop the time himself in Ch7), an extremely high damage (switching from Magic to physical) from Axo hammer, and extremely high survivability from Zeemnan's shield.

This campaign is truly and absolutely out of any ranking system for any other "maps" on hive. Its not just awesome - the story and lore are on the same level that WC3 main plot itself. You can't just say that it is kinda 11/10.

The only one thing that I hardly miss (and the same I was suggesting a years ago) - the level of details in some chapters - like in ch2 - even if it is a desert it is too empty and kinda lack of terrain deifference - so does the same in ch.6 in Kargath city rooms, and ch9-10. While the terrain in ch8 for example is just something special. I proposed you my help on terrain but we ended on the fact that you were going to release version 1.0 first. If it is no issue with reaching max possible objects on the map in Worldeditor - I can still do some terrain work - and would appreciate helping you once more.

I hope you gonna reach your goal with the book, because your story and lore are once again outstanding - I found some similarities with Malazan Book of Fallen btw.

Thank you for all you've done for the community!

 

[Mr6am6yk]

So, after 10 years the legend finally returns? Most welcome surprise.
I've been playing this campaign like once in 2-3 years. Always the fresh start, so not killing the two last epic bosses.
Now is the time to actually 100% it! So i finished hardcore on a second run. And even registered on this site to share.

Even with some rough points, campaign is a great project, no argues.
A couple of thoughts:
Love how chosen ones actually didn't matter at all XD Strongest dragons can't be defeated, and they do whatever they want to do anyway.
So Galeoth's set gives mana shield, and omega set gives infinite mana? Making the guy immortal Rather fun.
Heroes, except for Galeoth, still cannot crit.
Galeoth can't use Force Blow. It is consumed but never shows up in perks list.
BIG BUG: Fradz's energy balls passive actually gives its huge bonuses to all heroes, and that includes 25% magic resist.
At some point at 2nd walkthrough my game points disappeared...So i took game points as a reward, and going to speedrun it with blizz cheats to see interludes 2 and 3.

Anyway - thanks for the huge fun, man!

Btw can someone remind me where to find black merchant in cp10 plz? I remember it has to be near to popag station, but cant find it now

UPDATE: found him in the bottom right corner, above the river - in some of Librod's spawning locations

Hello everyone, I know this post is very old, but I'm having a problem. I'm playing the Reforged version, and my game crashes after I finish the first level and the quiz. There's a loading screen that never finishes, but it makes the game glitch when I try to click with the mouse. My PC isn't very powerful; could it be my version of Warcraft III that's causing the problem? My computer runs Windows 8.If anyone can help me find the problem, I would be extremely grateful.

Check recommended game version. At least don't try Reforged. I personally played at 1.26.

I would advise playing this map on the pre-Reforged versions.

The latest patch is quite unstable and prone to various bugs. And yes, the author hasn't even implemented this map for Reforged yet due to the known issues.

 

[Haruka]

Hello!

Almost after 10 years a major update!

Changes:

• Now interludes are possible to see properly
• All Heroic Achievements are added to the campaign (totally 11, earlier 7)
• Critical strike is fixed and Galeoth now has static Critical strike (20% chance, 500% damage)
• All bugs from this topic are fixed: https://tcocampaign.createaforum.com/12/(bug-thread)-version-1-0/
• Also fixed some other bugs
• Also made a lot of balance changes, such as improved Magic orbs and Azureus set

Im somehow always late for the party. (i noticed like 1 year later, the campaign got updated)

Playing through the entire campaign every few years on Hardcore and always loving it : )

Here are some thoughts.

1. I was really suprised, after year's we get a new version and mostly all of the bugs i posted where fixed, helll yeeaa.

2. I played through the campaign again on the 1.29.2 patch and found more bugs and made some notes/suggestions. (https://tcocampaign.createaforum.com/10/1-1-bug-thread/)

3. Some thought about the changes you made, i would have loved a detailed list, but i can tell Magic Orbs are now really good, Azureus set is also better. (just cost a lot too make) Giving Galeoth 20% crit and 500% crit damage feels kinda random, he already was the strongest Dragon Slayer. (so im not sure why this change was made, also it is bugged and he cant go above those numbers)

A note too the quick start: I love picking abilities and reading through them, but i get the idea behind it.

4. The link too the forum: https://www.tcocampaign.com/ does not work on the description on the campaign site here on hive (under Contact me). (would need to be updated too this one: https://tcocampaign.createaforum.com/index.php )

5. While on the note of forums etc, i believe it would be quite nice if we had a: The Chosen Ones discord server, where we could put all the guides, informations, tipps etc. or even news like updates on the game or the books in one place, instead of seaching the old forum: https://tcocampaign.createaforum.com/index.php etc.
it would also be easier too collect bugs/suggestions and balance changes ideas, if you are interested in that, a bunch of people would gladly help or would like too talk too ya : ) (i myself also didt notice, that you wanted too update the game a bit, until 1 year later)

6. Also interentingly enough, even tho the campaign is not mend for the current version of Warcraft 3 reforged (2.0.3.23175), the campaign basicly completly works. There are some major bugs and some minor. (if ones plays with the reforged settings)
It is possible too finish the entire campaign. (I just a quick test run on childsplay with cheats, didt test all, just the main campaign and it basicly just works, it is just not that enjoyable duo too some major bugs)

The really big issues where these:
1. Opening the game panel will crash the game.
2. Some chapters got weird illumination and are way too bright. (disabling entire reforged mode, will fix this, but then we cant have reforged grafics and some more)
3. A weird bar in the middle of the screen, when not having a friendly unit selected. (also the ui on top is missing some parts)
4. In cutscenes, all the talking character portraits dont work and are not there. (there is a option for that in reforged, but enabling it, will display a blank portrait. If we disable the entire reforged mode, it works normaly tho)
5. some abilitys lag the game using them the first time in each chapter (but after that, they should be fine)

Here is a link too all the bugs i quickly found playing on Reforged: https://tcocampaign.createaforum.com/10/bugs-playing-on-reforged-1-1a/msg14906/#msg14906

Cheers

Regarding balance, if you have the chance maybe you can take a look at heroes and their abilities. As someone who finished hardcore with pretty much all the abilities tried at least once, I must say certain abilities are really bad and since you have no way to test them, you can only regret after playing at least 1 chapter (2 chapters to see if your Galeoth build is okay). Phodom's fire orbs skill for instance, you dont ever want to pick that since Warcry and taunt skills are very good and it doesnt do anything. Soulburn's Imp is nice in only a couple chapters, later on it dies too quickly to ever make use of its healing Phodom on each hit received. Then again, since lowering armor is hugely important in this game you only pick Meltdown out of that 4 skills anyway. Battle Banner has nice benefits, but even though it is a ward it is not immune to enemy abilities, and since it has so low health it dies immediately because a lot of enemies have AoE damage. Spinning Death is pretty much useless because i think in TCO you are pretty much required to be on the move all times and you need to be on the move FAST. So, if an ability needs you to be stationary, it needs to be crazy good so that you can take risks with it. This is also true for Ultimate Sacrifice (kills Phodom, needs 2 health pots to at least be okay) and Galeoth's ultimate. When it comes to elementals (summons), same deal with the imp. Good in early, but completely useless in late chapters, since they dont to damage and get one-shot by every boss (especially item summons, Yurgimar reward is supposed to be "incredibly powerful"). Their skills are good, but you have 3 heroes with 6 skills plus active items and a separate panel for potions/espers. I dont think you need more micro in TCO, so summons are reduced to bloat only (summoner's amulet is bugged to affect enemies as well). Also, in general, right click Phodom and magic damage Fradz/Galeoth are not viable. Due to only certain skill being good every run eventually turns to the same lineup, Phodom as a magic damage dealer/tank and the others as right-clickers. For Fradz you have 3 skills only, Scissor Stab, Flash of Lightning and Teleport strike, the rest are just there, as fillers. Same goes for Galeoth, if you didnt pick his 2 passives or wanted him to be skill caster, good luck beating late chapters. Also, his Chill of the Frost Master ability heals enemies too when they are near.
When it comes to items, I dont know if it was intentional, but there needs to be more attack speed items i believe. It is the single most important element and only a couple items have bonus for it, such that you want to keep Fradz's starting item that gives %100 attack speed bonus throughout the game even though it has no other stats because it is such a huge buff and there is no other way to remedy it. Many items have on-attack effects too, which makes this even more sad. Speaking of item stats, a good number have crit chance or crit damage buffs, but heroes are unable to deal crit damage at all, so most items have redundant stats on them in case this cant be fixed. What's more, some hard-to-get sets/items have pretty underwhelming effects, such as Ultimate Orb or Azureus Set. 3500 damage on 20% chance is nothing in endgame. Something else I believe is undocumented on the buglist is that you can merge magic orbs and zyl orbs, so you can have Ultimate Orb earlier than chapter 10, it is funny though.
I tried to mention what I remember since I cannot play this at the moment and it's been almost a year since my last playthrough, hopefully others will correct me where I'm wrong or make additions.

I was in the same boat for a long time with Fradz going attack damage/speed.

But then i found a even better setup, try this: Full magic damage Fradz:

Power Orbs,Scissor Stab, Energy Ball, Electro Shell and the Orb as ultimate.
That setup is insanly broken, Electro Shell is by far the best ability in the game (well besides Galeoth's Magic Convert), scaling with magic damage and giving other heroes magic damage + a damage shield, which lasts forever or until broken. (bugged i gues)
And Energy Ball will deal a lot of damage.

Phodom as the tank.
Fradz with full magic damage. (in CH 10 i had 3x greatest magic ball (without cheating)) (just make sure too be picking up the thief's set and the agi power orb + holgro for steals)
Galeoth full attack speed and magic damage. (with his passive giving him attack damage based on magic and mana) (with Fradz starter attack speed item)

And you will destroy the entire Campaign on Hardcore. (if you pick all the armor shred abilitys and pick up everything)
Only some exceptions can destroy the Electro Shell shield or ignore it : )

(ALSO IMPORTANT, taking Fradz ability Power Orb's will increase the save file in each chapter he is in, which can lead too really huge save files like 40-60k+ KB in later chapters after beeing in the chapter for +3h and or more, so dont take the ability if you dont want the save files too become so big , it will also lead too crashes, at some point trying too save will just crash the game at random times or trying too save above 60k+ kb. (Magical Hammer from Galeoth is also a bad idea, as that ability also can cause the same issues and enormous lag in later chapters, so never take both abilitys)

Have fun

Best Campaign Ever!

 

[EdgeSky]

Hi, so I got too much luck in chapter 1 (21) I'd like to get the item abrey from the lucky box, its been couple of years since I played the campaign, is there a way to reliably reduce luck? I know there's the evil eye item, but I don't think there's enough to the point where i can reduce my luck to 8 or 9....

There is no way too reduce luck permanently.
But some chapters got a bunch of evil eyes in the chapter in barrels or other locations.

Solution: There is a way tho too remove you'r luck as much as you like, at least for Chapter 1, 4 and onwards, using a bug.

In Chapter 1:
1. Go to the village.
2. Visit Joe's Weapons shop and buy all items out of it (with your hero, they are all 1 time purchases and we want them too disappear from the shop, do not buy them with your heros box with full inventory, or they be dropped too the ground + wont disappear from the shop), until you can only buy the Strange Picture and Evil Eye.
3. Fill 1 entire hero box with 6 items and drop them near the shop, then move Phodom away.
4. Now select user on the shop and target the box with full inventory. (if we now buy an item that is usualy 1 buy only and disppears, it will not disappear if bought)
5. Buy as many Evil Eye's you like and got the gold for. (they will be dropped each too the ground)

at least in chapter one, the joe's weapon shop doesn't sell any evil eye or strange picture though, only these

It looks like you bought the Axe and the Basic sword with the heros box with full inventory? This will make them not disappear from the shop and wont make the new items visiable.

I updated my post, buy all the 6 items with your hero, then the new items should appear and then just follow step 3. onward.

Here are picture, i just tested it in a load from END run and Hardcore i ran there and did the steps and it works.

Bough all 6 items with Phodom = all will disappear from shop and then you be able too see the Strange Picture + Evil Eye.
(if it doenst work for you, i dont know why, either you did a mistake or are on another WC3 version then 1.29.2 ? or some unknows bug)

That is just the hint/combination too trigger the easter egg in Chapter 7. (you dont need to pick them up at all)

Here is a video with all easter eggs, Chapter 7 is at 4:14:

Triggering easter eggs will trigger mostly pictures of the creator.
There is a Heroic Archievement if one triggers all 10. (in each chapter is 1)
But in Chapter 2 the easter egg is bugged and cant be completed, so getting the heroic archievement is atm not possible.

Hello peeps! It's been a super long time since I came back to hive. I just suddenly had a dream and remembered this masterpiece exists.
I wonder if the author is still around and I really wanted to give a donate to Aeroblyctos, if anyone knows how to poke him or his donation website please do let me know.

Since back in the day, pretty much most of the people here are either teens or kids when playing this custom campaign, and today I already reached the adulthood as well and wanted to give support to the author for what he did back then.

Is there a walkthrough on the best items to have for each chapter and/or the big bosses? Due to me working fulltime, I dont have much time or even patience anymore lol
Does anyone know if the author takes donations? Such amazing campaign cannot go unrewarded

There are walkthroughs on youtube but who knows what's in them.

There are websites (such as here for example) where they have a list of all items, where to get them, and their stats. Plus some other websites (i think it was a also has those "best items for heroes".
As for dig-sites, dunno. I made my own but only up to chapter 8. as for the secrets/secret quest/secret bosses, I forgot if other people had one before, so dunno.

Most of what I knew came from just search "tcocampaign createforum" on google. Edit* just realized that some people are still using it lol.
As for patience, you might need some cause well - bugs exist (its a really old campaign). So saving quite a lot is important else you'd be crying in rage after some weird bug ruins your run.

Hello, dunno if playing this in 2026 is wise but it sure fun as hell, still on Chapter 4 on easy with Beginner Set tho, but is there a way to unstack/split off my items like magic balls? or am I screwed? looking up left and right between this, the project subforum on this site and TCO's own forum kinda doesnt leave me with a solution that worked, if you have video proof on how this work, I would appreciated, thanks.
