With this immense Damage Reduction, Anub'arak has an effective HP of around 13000! And each Death Coil will heal an effective 4000 HP. What's more, as your Crypt regenerates about 5hp/s, that's equivalent to 50hp/s! In Short, Anub'arak is tougher than a Castle... he'll survive anything... well almost anything.

General Guide:
Your primary goal is to keep all your troops alive till the end. The easiest to do this is to not let them take part in fights. Use just Arthas and Aunb'arak till you reach the end boss.

The Crypt Lord has an effective HP of 16000, let him take the hits!

1. Crypt Lord takes the hits, Arthas Heals.

2. Against groups of enemies that managed to take down your Crypt Lord to yellow, use Locust Swarm

3. Keep Arthas out of direct combat, full stop.

Though the Nerubian City:
Simply follow the red line directed on the minimap. There's a few obstacles worth noting. Through the mission, there's 5 Gold Coins to be found, we've also detailed these on the minimap. Be sure to destroy every crate you see, and you can't miss them.

A: Don't go trough the Death Traps! Take the side passage on the right, kill the Nerubians. The lever floods and destroys the Death traps on the right. Now go back and destroy the Rock Chunks on the left. Switch the second lever, this disables the traps on the left. Allowing you safe passage. Before you go, don't miss the Gold coin on the bottom right side of this room.

B: Lots of Nerubians, Locust Swarm time. Rescue a Crypt Fiend, you'll get the second side quest, which requires you to rescue all the Crypt Fiends on the level. Destroy the crates to get the second Coin.

C: Kill the Mudcrabs. One of them drops a Ring of Protection +4.

D: Get the Belt of Giant Strength +6. Scorpions will ambush you, Locust Swarm, as usual. Now follow the trail to E, make sure you pick up the Gold coin as your pass the fountain.

E: As you stumble in, all the hatcheries will release Spiderlings on you... about 50 of them. Have your Crypt Lord take the hits while Arthas shuts each of the levers. Impale kills Spiderlings nicely. Break open all the Egg Sacks to reveal another Gold Coin and a Medallion of Courage.

F: Kill Nerubians, break crates, get the last gold coin.

G: You fight the faceless ones, they're quite powerful. Ignore the tentacles and kill the units, Locust Swarm helps. You can then bring your Crypt Fiends over and kill the Tentacles. At the South Side of the room, there's a lot of Crypt Fiends to rescue. Whenever they're rescued, the Tentacles will attack them. Burrow them immediately to keep them alive.

Forgotten One
A Forgotten One lies in the chamber beyond. He has 8000 hp, a 10hp/s regeneration rate, and around 15 tentacles at his command. In addition, he can cast Flame Strike and Breath of Fire, and attacks with Firebolts that deal nearly 100 damage (10 to your Crypt Lord!). In another words, he's tough!

To make matters worse, as soon as you attack him, he will call to his minions for aid. Level 8 Faceless Tormentors and level 6 Faceless Tricksters will continually stream out of the little cave at H. Soon, you'll get overwhelmed.

To beat him, gather all your Crypt Fiends, you should have at least 10. Place them outside the cave entrance at H. Their Job is to kill each Faceless One as he pops out of the Cavern, before they're numbers become unmanageable. Don't use your Crypt Fiends to attack the Faceless one, they'll just get destroyed by Breath of Fire and Flame Strike.

There a lot of Tentacles, avoid getting your Crypt Lord surrounded by them.

Now Engage the Faceless One with your heroes. Use Anub'arak to dish out the damage, and Arthas to heal him whenever he has lost over 400hp. You'll find yourself healing as much as cooldown allows. When Anub'arak reaches yellow health, use Locust Swarm. Move out of Flamestrikes.

There are a lot of runes all over the room, you need them! Whenever Arthas gets damaged to red... grab a Rune of Greater Healing. Whenever he's low of Mana, get a Rune of Greater Energy. Meanwhile, the Forgotten One will attack your Crypt Lord with all its Tentacles, then spawn one every 10 seconds or so. Don't bother trying to kill them all, since he'll just spawn more. Focus all attacks on the Forgotten One directly.

Don't let your Crypt Lord get surrounded. If all the Tentacles are attacking your Crypt Lord, you'll not be able to Death Coil him fast enough to keep him alive. Whenever about 8 Tentacles have gathered around Anub'arak, move him out and attack the Faceless one from another side. If he does get surrounded, kill a few Tentacles to get out.

If you're good with Micro, and pay close attention to your heroes, you can kill the Forgotten One before all your Crypt Fiends die... Good luck!
