Can't resurrect Hero in my Crypt

[Ragic]

Hero in Crypt, have tons of gold and mana. Resurrect button is greyed out. What do I need?

[Raelic]

Are you sure they're in your crypt? They may show up under the crypt but be in another city. It says near their portrait what city they are in.

[Deo]

yep, this doesn't work for me either

[Pyro Penguin]

did you actually build the crypt? i believe the crypt menu is visible before you make the actual building, but you need to build it before you can revive heroes

also you can only revive your own heroes that way, to revive and control enemy heroes you need one of the necromancy tomes

[Ragic]

i do have the crypt built. It is one of my heroes. Not sure what difference it makes about the city. The crypt window is where the resurrect button is.

[GrandMajora]

Isn't the resurrect option only available through certain tomes?

I think you need either one of the Shadow tomes, or one of the high tier Order tomes to be able to do it.

How're you going to ressurect someone in another city?

if their remains were taken by another faction, then you can't really ressurrect them without getting those back.

You get access to the crypt without actually building the structure. But you have to build the actual structure (50 gold 50 mana) to get access to resurrection.

Anyone know how to move bodies from one city to another.

I have a crypt in my capital, and my dead heroes in my other town. Can't resurrect them whilst they're there.

Maybe I was wrong then. I always assumed it was because they were in another city, but if you control both cities and it's still greyed out, I'm not sure.

1) you can choose to have each faction keep a hero that is killed but if you choose to allow the combat winner get the dead hero then

2) your dead hero winds up in the throne city of the faction which beat you in combat. if AI apparently they will not sell the hero remains and hence permanently delete the hero. a human player on the other hand will almost surely sell the remains to make sure you never get this hero back

3) resurrection of this dead hero in the crypt of the other faction is not possible until you conquer that throne city. not sure if you also have to vanquish that faction

4) now that you have conquered the other faction throne city if resurrect is now enabled then it will cost you 300 mana provided you have built the WT crypt. the resurrected hero will appear in YOUR throne city NOT the foe throne city you just captured

5) if over the hero cap you will also have to pay 100 gold for the resurrection. usually it it best just to wait until that foe throne becomes just another city in your empire so you have one hero added to the hero cap and so the resurrection will only cost 300 mana. UNLESS the foe still has an active army nearby and it is possible they can retake their throne city. in which case it is best to pay the additional 100 gold and then try to prevent the foe throne city from being retaken before it is added to your empire. if the foe ruler was sent into the void when you took the their throne city the foe faction is vanquished and they can never recapture that throne city

if their in the crypt they are dead mate.

lol you need tomes with souls like tome of necromancy
