Harald Hammerstorm is a mighty melee fighter who can be the ultimate curse on the undead in Total War: Warhammer 3. He is available as a free LC Legendary Hero and can be unlocked on your account. In this guide, we will tell you how to unlock and recruit Harald the Hammer during your Chaos Warriors campaigns.
Unlock with Total War Access:
Harald Hammerstorm can be unlocked through Total War Access, just like Ulriku Magdov.
- Click on the Hammerstorm notification in the lower right corner of the game's main menu.
- Create a new account or sync an existing one on the Creative Assembly website.
After entering your details and registering, Harald will be unlocked for use in the game.
If you already have a Total War Access account, then after installing Major Update 3.1, Harald will be automatically added to the game and ready to be unlocked in both campaign and battles.
Downloading additional materials is not required to gain access to Harald.
Unlocking Harald in Campaign:
In order to summon Harald in the game, you need to reach level 15 with your legendary lord. After that, the quest "The Hammerstorm Cometh" is activated, in which you have to destroy 3000 enemies in battle. Upon completion of this quest, Harald will appear on the campaign map next to your lord. It is important to note that Harald only joins the Chaos Warriors faction and is not available to other factions such as Chaos Daemons.
It is interesting to note that Harald Hammerstorm has a rich history dating back to the first edition of the board game Warhammer Fantasy Battle in 1983. Although the world of Warhammer did not yet exist, the game's cover, depicting Harald with his hammer striking a skeleton, became famous and was used in subsequent editions. He became the first Warhammer mascot and was subsequently included in the canon as Harald Stormhammer.
Harald has unique abilities that improve the leadership of the army he is in when it fights the undead. He makes his army immune to vampiric attrition, doubles the experience gained from defeating the undead. When Harald joins your army, he also imposes a 20 point penalty on your diplomatic relations with Vampire factions. It's important to note that Chaos Warriors and Vampires won't always be allies, so you'll need to consider your strategy when including Harald in your army.
Another interesting feature of Harald is his ability to disable the "Undead" effects of opponents he faces in combat. This causes the undead to flee in fear and also nullifies their vampiric healing ability. Thus, Harald remains immune to the psychological effects of the undead and continues to destroy skeletons and other enemy units.
Overall, Harald Stormhammer is a powerful and unique hero in Total War: Warhammer 3. His presence in the Chaos Warrior army brings significant advantages in battles against the undead. As a well-known Warhammer character and with an interesting backstory, Harald adds variety and depth to the game world.
He proves his worth and stays true to his roots, pursuing the goal of destroying the undead and continuing to be a fearsome warrior whose hammer brings doom to all who rise from the grave.
