Level 1, Jandice Barov
Treasure: Black Whelp Tunic
Units: Abomination, Ghoul, Jandice Barov (clone), Meat Wagon, Necromancer, Vultures

Strategy:
Jandice Barov sends copies of herself to attack you. They have the interesting ability to change from ranged to flying units. Counter them with protected Witch Doctors, or Faerie Dragons and Whelp Eggs.

Take middle, left, then right tower.

You can take the middle tower early with Plague Farmer.
It may take more than one, but he's close enough to hit it while in the deploy zone.

Counter Abominations and Meat Wagons with Bat Riders and Faerie Dragons. You can use the middle lane to go over the bridge if

When you make it to Jandice, Faerie Dragons are going to do the most damage.

Level 2, Rattlegore
Treasure: Aegis of Battle
Units: Abomination, Ghoul, Necromancer, Plague Farmer, Rattlegore Spawn, Skeleton Mage, Skeleton Party

Strategy:
Like Legend of Zelda for the NES, If you bump into a gravestone, you'll trigger a ghostly response. Tanks with AOE support come though the graveyard pretty well.

This map will become more cluttered with gravestones as time goes on, so it's better if you can finish off Rattlegore quickly.

Stonehoof Tauren can be a bit problematic, triggering graves when they dart around. Plan their path carefully.

The goal is to build a large team and take the top-center meeting stone and launch as continuous an assault as possible from this point on. Plague Farmers and Bat Riders protected by tanks work best on Rattlegore.

If you lose the top meeting stone and need to refortify, send your reinforcements in a straight line to trigger less tombs. You can really get caught up late game if you lose that meeting stone.

Mine the gold on the move, once you take a meeting stone, deploy a Kobold to take the gold quickly.

Level 3, Darkmaster Gandling
Treasure: Chromatic Shroud
Unitis: Abomination, Meat Wagon, Ghoul, Worgen, Skeletons, Harpies

Strategy:
This fight is pretty straightforward, in spite of the teleporting trickiness.

Darkmaster Gandling uses portals to beam your units into a small arena with a chest and an Abomination inside. Once you dispatch the Abomination, your units can take the chest and attack Gandling directly. These portals appear at the steps just beyond the meeting stones.

If you can beat the first Kobold to the left mine, go for it.
The first portal

Counter Harpies with Faerie Dragon or Witch Doctor led by a tank.
Counter Abomination and Meat Wagon with fliers or Stonehoof Tauren.
Counter Necromancer with Stonehoof Tauren or supported AOE.

If you lose a good unit to the arena portal, you can drop Whelp Eggs into the arena, they'll do good against the Abominations.

Stonehoof Taurens and Faerie Dragons will do the most damage to Darkmaster Gandling.
