Deep under the ground you find an ancient temple, where Haspids guard an artifact of great power.
Do you want to fight them?

After defeating the monsters and searching the altar of the temple, you find the legendary Horn of the Abyss!''

Ancient Altar is a Creature Bank located on the Adventure Map.

The guards are divided into five stacks (red hexes). There is a 50% chance of getting an upgraded stack in the lower left corner (C hex). All the guard stacks of the same speed attack in alphabetic order of these hexes. The hero's troops are located in blue hexes 1-7 (a tail hex for two-hexed creatures) according to stack positioning in the army slots 1-7. If the hero has less than 7 stacks, e.g. 3, they will be placed in hexes 1-3 no matter how they were placed in the army slots.

Though war machines are not present on the battlefield, they still provide their passive bonuses (i.e. the infinite shots effect from Ammo Cart and the First Aid/First Aid Tent health boost Horn of the Abyss Shadow of Death).

Slain enemies do not respawn (should the hero retreat or be defeated). The damaged stack's losses will not be redistributed among the others. If a stack was destroyed, it changes the guards disposition. Its place on the battlefield will be taken by the next one in the attacking order. (E.g.: If A stack was destroyed, B stack takes its place, C stack takes the freshly vacated place of B and so on).

Horn of the Abyss In Horn of the Abyss, the object's level can be preset by a map-maker and the upgraded stack option may be toggled on or off.

Ancient Altar is an adventure map location, and commonly known as one of the creature banks. It is guarded by 25 HaspidHaspid Haspids. The reward is the Horn of the AbyssHorn of the Abyss artifact.

The Ancient Altar differs from other creature banks as the combat layout is the same as if the Haspids were attacked normally on the Adventure Map. War machines are available for use.

NOTE: If the spinning horn is not visible, that means the Haspids have already been defeated and the horn is gone.
