    Ive read that you can go back to complete the battlesquares once nickademius summons you. However, once I was there in normal mode, the Ice golem was gone, and I couldnt trigger the staves to get the games started.

    Im in HOF, just passed the ice temple since I was tired of the squares after level 5.

    now before I step into oswolds airship later, I want to know if I had some kind of bug, or that going back later has been disabled in the latest official patch ?

    I havent been able to manage that either. I was most annoyed, since I left the squares, hoping to complete them once I had leveled a bit. I havent tried it on HOF, but it isnt a bug on normal.

    No Crom.
    Beating the Beastlord Harshom is the last thing you can do before you return to finish the squares.
    If you go to the outside of Black Raven Monastry map, you can't return to the squares.

    Oh i wondered about that to well anyways the battle squares never seemed worth it to me. The stuff you were supposed to get in HOF mod i never got so i just gave up on it.

    The dragonsbelt you get is a nice improved version over the one you got in normal mode.

    The Axe is exactly the same

    The armor is quite a lot better in damage reduction, not in AC IIRC

    The wisdom potion is the same, but very much worth it.

    I dont remember the other thing I got until level 5. The club of disruption is probably the same as well and doing level 7+ in HoF seems a bit hard to me.

    IIRC only the reward for the first two ranks change. The others stay the same.

    What do the ramdom treasures you get for finishing each level in a rank look like? Anything good?
