=================================
|    2: Methods of Mayhem    |
=================================
This section describes the various techniques and abilities at Skarin's
disposale.
-----------------------------------------
|    2.1: Hacking and Slashing    |
-----------------------------------------
Skarin wields two basic weapons. A sword and an axe. These are the standard
implements of death that Skarin will use to dispatch legion soldiers. Skarin
can purchase a variety of special attacks.
Special Moves
-------------
Njord's Wrath         - Weak jumping attack
Odin's Will         - Basic stun attack following a single attack.
Thor's Hammer         - Allows use of Slow Rage Level 1
Baldur's Curse         - Allows use of Fast Rage Level 1
Fenrir's Bite         - Quick stealth kill from a bit of range.
Fenrir's Might         - Allows use of Slow Rage Level 2
Freya's Chariot     - Medium Stun Attack that follows after a 2 move combo.
Nidhogg's Strike    - Allows use of Fast Rage Level 2
Hel's Fury        - Medium jumping attack
Spear of Odin         - Strong stun attack that follows after a 3 move combo.
Valkyrie's Stampede - A vicious counter attack
Baldur's Silence    - A close range stealth kill.
Odin's Doom         - Strong jumping attack
Might of Valhalla   - Allows use of Slow Rage Level 3
Valkyrie Strike     - Powerful stun attack that follows after a 4 move combo
Curse of Fenrir     - Allows use of Fast Rage Level 3
Rage Mode
---------
Rage mode allows Skarin to access stronger moves. Every normal attack will
add a rage counter. Rage moves will drain these counters in exchange for
unleashing a powerful attack.
Slow Attacks
Rank 1: Skarin leaps into the air and delivers a dual weapon attack.
Rank 2: Skarin executes a small twisting hop and delivers a powerful strike.
Rank 3: Skarin delivers a powerful double handed strike.
Fast Attacks
Rank 1: Skarin executes a quick forward stab.
Rank 2: Skarin unleashes a barrage of 3 hits against a single foe.
Rank 3: Skarin will rapidly attack all nearby enemies with 5 hits.
---------------------------------
|    2.2: Magic Runes    |
---------------------------------
Magic Runes line Skarin's sword. These runes allow you access to 3 elemental
forces. When called upon, Skarin's sword will be enchanted with the
corresponding element. Nearby allies will also be blessed with the same
enchantment which is extremely helpful in the large scale battles.
***Fire***
When used, Skarin's sword causes enemies to be immolated. Normal legion
soldiers will rapidly burn to death. Some of the more robust legion soldiers
will survive the flames but can be easily dispatched while they panic in
response to being on fire.
Skarin's unleashed fire magic causes him to breath forth flames in a forward
cone.
***Lightning***
Wreathed in lightning, Skarin's sword will electrocute his enemies.
The unleashed lightning magic throws lightning from his sword elevating
enemies into the air as they are electrocuted.
***Ice***
Skarin's sword freezes enemies. This causes their movements to become
sluggish. Further attack will actually cause the frozen victim to shatter.
The unleashed ice magic will freeze the area immediately surrounding Skarin.
Nearby enemies caught in the icy blast will become frozen solid and can be
easily shattered with a quick strike.
---------------------------------
|    2.3: Items        |
---------------------------------
There are several items that can be purchased from shops that will aid Skarin.
***Throwing Axes***
Skarin can carry up to 10 throwing axes. These are effective at quickly
dispatching targets from range. One thrown axe is enough to drop most legion
soldiers. Mostly, throwing axes are useful for stealth assaults to take down
sentries.
***Flame Pots***
Skarin can carry up to 3 flame pots. These are another ranged weapon.
However, flame pots are far more destructive than throwing axes. Think of
them as grenades as they will explode on impact, killing not only the target
but also damaging and often killing any other legion standing nearby. Flame
pots are an effective way of dealing with clusters of unsuspecting legion
soldiers.
***Meals***
Meals provide a temporary boost to Skarin's health. This boost increases your
max health. Any damage suffered will first be taken from this bonus.
***Potions***
Potions restore lost health. These should be saved for infiltration missions
for the most part since death isn't much of a set back in any other case.
***Health Upgrades***
Health upgrades increase Skarin's max life.
***Treasure Maps***
These maps add yellow dots to the mini-map showing the location of gold.
---------------------------------
|    2.4: Dragons        |
---------------------------------
During the major battles between Skarin's viking army and Hel's legion, you
have the ability to call upon your dragons to breath fire on the enemy. This
requires first gathering dragon runes during the battle. These are gained by
killing major targets such as legion champions and shamans. You can hold up to
3 dragon runes at a time. Commanding your dragons to attack requires either 1
or 2 dragon runes. Typically, 1 rune is required to attack groupings of legion
archers while 2 is required to target Legion shamans.
=================================
|    3: Walkthrough        |
=================================
---------------------------------
|    3.1: Nilfberg        |
---------------------------------
3.1.1: Brighthelm
-----------------
This is your home base. Your first task is to speak with the Shaman Asta near
where you begin. She tasks you with summoning a dragon. This won't be possible
until much later, so don't worry about it for now. There is a lot of gold to be
found within Brighthelm, so explore it well. Any barrel's of mead can be
brought to Torv for gold. The blacksmith will provide the first level rune
upgrades for your sword. Talk with Chieftain Haral and the gates of Brighthelm
will open allowing you access to the island proper. Before heading out,
proceed north onto the beach and search for more gold and some vikings to
rescue.
3.1.2: Hilltop Farm
-------------------
This is your first objective after leaving Brighthelm. The farm is found just
NE of Brighthelm. A group of vikings have been imprisoned here and the legion
presence is cutting off vital food production. Clear out the legion around the
viking's cage. If you free them, they will assist in clearing any remaining
legion in the area.
Once liberated, the Miller requires that you find his lost cargo and deliver
it to Brigthhelm.
3.1.3: Lost Cargo
-----------------
This is found just SE of the farm. Simply clear out nearby legion and pick up
the cargo. Return the cargo to Brighthelm. This will open up access to the
shop.
The shop sells a variety of goods.
Throwing Axes  - 5 gold each
Health Potions - 30 gold each
Meal           - 50 gold
Health advance stage 1 - 420 gold
Gold Bag Treasure map  - 190 gold
Urn Treasure map       - 280 gold
Treasure Chest map     - 360 gold
The treasure maps are invaluable and will pay off very quickly. The gold bag
one in particular since there are so many small bags scattered around the
island. The health advance should also be purchased asap.
3.1.4: Battle Horn
------------------
After returning the lost cargo, the task to retrieve your father's battle horn
will appear. The horn is held by a Legion Champion. These large foes radiate
a crimson aura and require a button pressing god of war style mini-game to
kill.
The champion roams the road near the Hilltop Farm Leystone. He will be
accompanied by a single legion soldier. A few more legion soldiers may be near
by. Take out the regular soldiers first and then focus on the Champion. The
trick to fighting champions is to use hit and run tactics. Attack after the
Champion attacks and dodge whenever the Champion tries to attack you.
Continue to beat on the Champion until he begins to tire. At this point, the
button pressing mini-game becomes available. Succeed at it and the Champion
will die.
3.1.5: Ancient Ruins
--------------------
The ancient ruins have been taken over by more legion troops. A viking clan
are being held prisoner here. Free them quickly so they can help clear out the
legion. After clearing out the legion, climb up into the ruins. You'll find
several gold bags on the way up. Climb across a vine covered wall to reach the
uppermost section where you will find the Hugin Gem. This is a dragon gem that
will be needed later.
Head back down and talk to the viking Cadby who will ask you to find a missing
viking named Havelock.
3.1.6: Battle Arena
-------------------
This is just NE of the Ancient Ruins. Skarin can purchase special moves from
the ancestral spirit found here. The first 5 moves are available initially for
purchase.
Njord's Wrath  - 0 gold
Odin's Will    - 150 gold
Thor's Hammer  - 300 gold
Baldur's Curse - 300 gold
Fenrir's Bite  - 700 gold
Fenrir's bite is one of the most useful abilities in the game. Learn it as soon
as possible.
After learning Odin's Will, Thor's Hammer, and Baldur's Curse, the next rank of
those abilities will be available to learn.
Fenrir's Might   - 800 gold
Freya's Chariot  - 300 gold
Nidhogg's Strike - 1500 gold
3.1.7: Warrior Havelock?
------------------------
This event is located north of the battle arena along the beach. After
completing the task, return to Cadby to get his clan to join your cause.
To return quickly to Cadby, drown in the nearby ocean and teleport to the Ruins
Leystone.
3.1.8: Gorge
------------
This requires that you first obtain the battle horn, train at the battle arena,
and rescue a number of viking clans. Once you meet these requirements, you can
send your army against the Legion stationed in the Gorge. This is the first
large scale battle. You will be surrounded by other viking warriors and face
a large host of various Legion soldiers.
Immediately head to the right as you enter the gate. Clear the ledge of archers
and rescue the two groups of vikings. They'll immediately take up arms and join
the fray.
Fight and kill all the legion soldiers. Once liberated, talk to Cave Gorge Army
Leader Amulf. Unlock the gate behind Amulf and proceed through the cave. Follow
on this path to cross over the second half of the island. Continue along and
up the cliffs. Legion here can easily be shoved to their doom. Along the way,
you'll find the Clifftop Path Leystone.
3.1.9: Clifftop Cave
--------------------
These caves are linear, so just proceed through killing any legion that stand
in your way. You'll get a brief cut scene midway through. Once through the
caves, you'll find a group of vikings held prisoner at a legion encampment.
Kill the legion. Free the vikings. Nearby, you'll find the Drawbridge Leystone.
3.1.10: Drawbridge
------------------
The Drawbridge consists of two small watchtowers guarding the bridge. As you
approach the drawbridge from the east, sneak into the open doorway of the first
tower. Three legion soldiers slumber here. Take them out stealthily if you
can. The second tower is barricaded by a spiked fence. Thankfully, it is in
disrepair and there is a section Skarin can climb over. Three legion await in
a group just over the fence. Sneak into the lower section of the tower and
kill the lone sleeping soldier. Loot the chest while you are here.
Head back outside and along the west wall of the tower is a bunch of vines that
you can climb. Once atop the tower, kill the archers and cross the walkway to
the other tower. Now you must drop down a few levels. You'll drop down into a
room with two shield soldiers. If you can, stealth execute one of them.
Regardless, kill both soldiers and use the hand crank in the corner to lower
the drawbridge. Open the door and head off to your next objective.
3.1.11: Quarry
--------------
The quarry lies just NW of the drawbridge. It can be approached from either
stealthily from the west or through the main gate to the north. The Quarry
Leystone lies to the north. If you do proceed to the north, be watchful for
a Legion Patrol heading into Darkwater. The patrol is 50 soldiers strong which
would probably prove a difficult task for you alone. Before heading into the
quarry be sure to take out the 3 archers along the eastern ledge.
Clear the upper tier of the quarry first. This wraps around from the north
entrance to the west. Head down to the bottom level and make your way to the
north. The viking clan is held captive in a bone cage at the far end. Once
free, they will help clear any remaining legion. Gather any treasure nearby
and talk with Quarry Master Kel. He will task you with leading an ambush
against that Legion Patrol that heads into Darkwater.
3.1.12: Ambush
--------------
This is a miniature army battle, Skarin and the Quarry clan vikings vs the
Legion Patrol. You'll attack from a small farm stead along the road. If you
have any magic, unleash it right at the start. It will enchant not only Skarin
but nearby vikings. The enchanted vikings will make short work of the patrol.
Once completed, return to the Quarry and speak with Kel again. His clan will
join your army. He'll also give you some explosives that allow you to enter the
Monastery Cave.
3.1.13: Shipwreck
-----------------
After finishing at the Quarry, take the west exit. There is a beach nearby with
a shipwreck and a group of legion soldiers. Kill the 5 legion soldiers and
gather the treasure here. The chest contains some medical supplies that will
be needed later.
3.1.14: Monastery Cave
----------------------
The entrance to the Cave is just north of the shipwreck. Use the explosive to
blow open the locked gate. The cave is pretty linear. You'll come to a gap that
is too large to jump, but there is a narrow walkway along the left wall you use
to cross. Immediately across the gap is another viking clan. Talk with the
Warrior Ingemar. He'll inform you that he and his clan are in need of medical
supplies. If you already visited the shipwreck, you'll hand them over and add
another clan to your army. The vikings will help clear the rest of the cave.
Gather any treasure along the way. You'll come out of the cave on the north
end of the mountains.
3.1.15: Cave
------------
Continue NE after exiting the Monastery Cave. There is another small cave where
vikings are being held captive. Kill the 3 legion soldiers and free the vikings
to add another clan to your army.
3.1.16: Monastery
-----------------
Proceed west from the cave and you'll end up having another vision. Continue
west and kill any legion in your path. It's fairly easy to shove them off the
nearby ledge. As you proceed, you'll see a Legion Champion push a viking to
his death. As you head under the overhanging monastery, there is a group of 8
legion. You can take several out through stealth if you're careful. Continue
along as the path wraps back to the east and you'll reach the Monastery
leystone.
Head into the Monastery when ready. The first courtyard is littered with more
legion to kill. Try to remain stealthy as long as possible to make things
easier on yourself. Freeing the vikings will provide aid in combat and at
the very least a distraction if you can reach them without being seen. The
NW archway leads to a spiral staircase the will take you to the next floor.
As you proceed, you'll see a legion shaman who will summon 2 soldiers and
run away. Kill the soldiers and give chase. Hug the wall at the first gap to
cross a thin walkway. At the second, leap across. At the third, use the
vines on the wall to climb across. As you chase the shaman into an archway,
a legion assassin will drop from the ceiling. Continue on into another
courtyard. The shaman will drop a gate preventing further pursuit. Several
legion soldiers will attack you. After killing them, make sure to activate
the Interior Monastery Leystone that is nearby. Turn the hand crank to open
the gate.
You'll now face a legion champion and several more legion soldiers. The
shaman will make an escape and once again block pursuit by closing a large
set of doors. Four legion soldiers will come up the steps. Two from the
right and two from the left. After dispatching them, proceed down in either
direction to find some viking prisoners. Releasing these vikings will aid in
the battle against the legion champion, 4 legion soldiers, and 5 legion
archers.
Its wise to take out the archers first. Skirt the outside of the area and
kill them quickly. Take out the legion soldiers next. Your viking friends
are likely mostly dead by this point but that should leave just the legion
champion. The champion is not really much different from the one you faced
previously. Just pick your attacks and dodge a lot. Execute the champion to
gain the ancient key which opens the grand doors. Open the doors to face the
legion shaman.
The shaman is invincible until the 5 glowing staffs that encircle him have
been destroyed. Each takes 3 attacks to destroy. Throughout this time, the
shaman will make sure 2 legion soldiers are alive. If one dies, he revives
it. Shove the soldiers away if needed and focus on those staffs. Once all 5
are destroyed, you can execute the shaman. From the dead body of the shaman,
you'll take the Dragon Amulet.
3.1.17: Viking Encampment
-------------------------
SE of the Darkwater leystone, there is a viking encampment along the beach.
Free the viking's here to increase your clan size further.
3.1.18: Darkwater Portal
------------------------
Before you can use the dragon amulet and summon a dragon, it must be charged
at the Darkwater Portal. This involves sneaking into Darkwater. This is a
difficult task given that there is a legion war host occupying the city.
The only way into the city that isn't through a gate guarded by half a dozen
or more soldiers is found along the eastern wall. There is a blanket that
has been slung over a portion of the spiked wall. Skarin can climb into the
town here.
After you cross over the wall, the first red skull is found just to the
south. Continue south and then west, stealth kill any legion in your path.
Head up the walkway that leads over the north gate. Ignore the 2 groupings
of archers unless you want to alert the entire town. Head down the walkway
on the other side. The portal should be within sight. Jump up the nearby
crates to reach the portal. Stand in the middle and charge your dragon
amulet. You can now head back to the ancient ruins and summon your first
dragon. However, if you want to find the other 5 skulls. Now would be the
time. They are far harder to acquire during the battle and after the battle
you will be moved to the next island.
If you do go after the skulls, you will probably die a few times. Just use
the leystone and continue coming back. Any killed legion will respawn from
the portal.
If you stand at the west edge of the portal and look north, you should see a
red skull sitting by some barrels. You can simply run over grab the skull
and then try to fight all the legion that engage you. You'll probably die
though.
Reenter Darkwater over the eastern wall. This time proceed north. Follow
this path down a few rocky steps and behind a building. At this point, head
west. At the road, watch for the patrol and cut across when its clear.
Stealth kill your way to the west. You'll find a single legion soldier with
his back turned to you as he stares at a reddish wall. The wall is in
disrepair and the top is broken. Skarin can climb over at this point. Watch
out for the 3 legion soldier patrol that circles the hut in a
counterclockwise pattern. One is a horn blower, if he sees you, he'll alert
the entire camp. Hug the northern wall. Next to a few nearby crates, there
is another red skull.
Proceed to the north and west. In the northwest corner is an alcove with 3
soldiers beating on dummies. Continue past this alcove to the southwest. As
you come around the corner, there is a group of crates. There is a red skull
sitting behind these crates.
Entering Darkwater from the east wall. Turn north, but don't go down the
rocky steps. Instead, head west and hop the fence. Looking west, across the
road you'll see a fence.  Just on the other side of the fence, you should see
a group of 5 legion soldiers. There  is a red skull sitting in the corner
near them. This will require a suicide run to get  to the skull.
If you go to the same point overlooking the road for the previous skull, you
can look to the northwest and see the north gate. Just to the SW of the
northern gate is a well.  There is a red skull sitting behind the well. This
will probably involve another suicide run.
You should now have all six skulls of Darkwater.
3.1.19: Ancient Ruins: Summoning a Dragon
-----------------------------------------
Now that the dragon amulet is complete and charged, return it to the Ancient
Ruins and summon forth your first dragon, Arl. You will then learn how to
summon the dragon in battle. Pick either the beached or grounded longboat to
burn it down.
3.1.20: Battle of Darkwater
---------------------------
Before the battle can begin, you must summon a dragon, lower the drawbridge,
and liberate enough viking clans.
Before starting the battle, be sure to turn in any remaining kegs of mead
for gold as well as stock up on any supplies. Its also a good idea to buy a
meal before the battle.  The health boost will be helpful.
When ready, use your battle horn to begin the fight for Darkwater. Your
viking army will march against the Legion war host. You will attack from the
south.
If you die during the fight, Shaman Asta will revive you.
The first task of the battle is to kill the shaman on the ridge to the
northwest just outside Darkwater. There is a legion champion you can kill
directly to the north. Killing the champion is advisable. He'll tear apart
your viking army if left unchecked. He'll also reward you with 2 dragon
stones that can be used immediately to burn the shaman or can be saved for
later use. If you don't use your dragon, charge up the hill and kill the
shaman just as you did in the monastery. Killing the shaman will reward you
with one dragon rune if done by hand.
The legion will retreat into Darkwater.
You must now kill two shamans. One is to the west and one is to the east.
Either can be targeted by your dragon. A group of archers at the north gate
can also be targeted by your dragon.
As you enter through the south gate, a legion champion will be coming up the
road. Take him down. If you target the eastern shaman with your dragon, it
is possible to catch the champion is the blast.
Regardless, proceed to take down both legion shamans. Each one killed by
hand will drop a single dragon rune. One shaman will probably be killed by
your dragon.
You will now face another Legion Champion at the Darkwater portal. This one
is Hel's Champion, Drakan. He will be fought one on one by Skarin. Dodge as
usual and attack when you see an opening. Drakan will push Skarin away if
you press the attack too much. Finish the champion as usual. Hel will appear
after you have bested Drakan, summoning him away and retreating to the Isle
of Galcliff. Watch the cutscene and rejoice in your victory on the Isle of
Niflberg.
---------------------------------
|    3.2: Galcliff        |
---------------------------------
3.2.1: Galcliff Landing Camp
---------------------------
This is your starting point for the Isle of Galcliff. You can buy second
level magic runes from the blacksmith here. You can also buy new treasure
maps from the shop here as well as another health advance. Begin by setting
out to the south and then the west to climb up to the ridges overlooking the
landing camp.
3.2.2: West Camp
----------------
This camp sits just south of the landing camp. There is a horn blower and
several sleeping legion. There aren't many legion here, so make short work
of them and free the vikings held captive.
3.2.3: Cave Camp
----------------
Southeast of the landing camp, there is another pack of legion soldiers.
There is a small house here and another clan of vikings being help prisoner.
Skirt the edge and kill the archers while in stealth if possible. A few
shield bearing soldiers patrol the area as well. Kill the legion and free
the vikings. Afterwards, Warrior Hrut will want to speak with you. He asks
you bring a legion insignia as proof of your leadership. A legion champion
holds the insignia within the Central Cave. For now, head southwest toward
the Distillery.
3.2.4: Distillery
-----------------
Approach from the NW and sneak around the west side. Stealth kill the few
legion you cross and when able head for the caged vikings. If you manage to
free them without being spotted, they'll make short work of the legion force.
Just NE of the Distillery is the Bjorrton Leystone. After clearing the
legion, Distiller Njal asks you to retrieve the flame pot recipe. It is
found in some ruins that you may have crossed already.
3.2.5: Ruins
------------
These ruins are located just east of the West Camp. There is a shield
soldier that patrols in a counterclockwise pattern around the building.
Another shield soldier and a regular grunt are inside the building. Kill all
3 and drop into the basement. Use the cellar key Njal cave you to open the
door. Kill the soldier and continue down to find the recipe in a chest. Head
back out and return to Njal. Flame pots are now purchasable from shops.
3.2.6: Mercenary Camp
---------------------
Southeast of the Distillery is a a mercenary camp. As you head for the cave
the mercs use as a base, you'll pass the Skirrafel leystone. The mercenary
leader Mani wants you to ambush a legion patrol and steal the chest of gold
they are transporting. Before beginning the ambush, you must first clear the
South Tower.
3.2.7: South Tower
------------------
Head east along the south ridge line to reach the tower. The Sutherine
leystone stands right next to the tower. All legion in and around the tower
need to be killed. Stealth kill soldiers outside if possible. A lone soldier
stands on the south side of the tower. Killing him nets you the tower key.
Use it to open the main door to the tower. Just inside the door await 4
legion soldiers. Kill them and proceed up the tower. On the 3rd floor, kill
the archers around the edge. You can shove them to their death easily. Along
the south wall on the 3rd floor is a door to open. Head outside through the
door and climb the rope riggings up to the 5th floor. Continue up the tower
killing legion as you go. At the top, kill the 3 archers along the west
ledge. Finish the tower by killing the legion shaman. If the tower objective
doesn't finish, there is still some legion alive somewhere. Head back down
and kill anyone you missed.
3.2.8: Ambush
-------------
With the tower clear, you can setup for the ambush. The legion get attacked
while they are on the bridge. Simply clear your way across killing all that
stand in your path. Use of magic to enchant your viking army will make this
a quick skirmish. When the legion patrol is dead, you receive the war chest.
Before heading back to Mani, head NE of the bridge to find the Brenna Grof
leystone. Use it to transport to the Skirrafel leystone near the merc camp.
Giving Mani the war chest adds his troops to your army.
3.2.9: Quarry
-------------
Use the leystone to go back to Brenna Grof. The Quarry is just SE of the
leystone. Circle around the quarry by heading south and then east. This
allows you to reach the upper ledge and kill some archers that are
positioned on the west side of the quarry. Circle back south and east
killing legion with stealth for as long as possible. Free the vikings when
it looks clear and finish up any remaining legion. Quarry Master Olen will
ask that you head to the east cave and free some workers.
3.2.10: East Cave
-----------------
This cave is located NE of the Quarry. A legion champion guards the cave
entrance. Killing him gets you a rusty key that is used to open the gate to
the cave. Cross the bridge and follow a small walkway on the left. As you
round the corner, stealth kill the archers to the right. Use throwing axes
if needed. Kill the remaining legion below and free the vikings. Head back
up and open the door. Return to Olen will net you another army size
increase. More importantly, Olen gives you two explosives. One is used to
destroy a gate in the central cave allowing you to reach the Plateau Camp.
The other is used to destroy the Holdenfort Barracks.
3.2.11: Central Cave
--------------------
Enter the cave from the west side. The entrance is just east of the Cave
Camp. As you enter a patrol of 4 legion soldiers should be heading away from
you. Stealth kill them all if possible. At the fork, head east until you
reach an open cavern with a legion camp fire. There is a wall ahead of you
as you enter this cavern with several ledges. Climb up and circle to the
left while hanging from one of the ledges. Climb up when able and continue
to move up. You'll end up facing another legion champion. Kill him and gain
the legion insignia. Return this to the Cave Camp later for another army
size increase.
Head back down and clear any legion in your way. Head north up some stone
stairs. At the fork, there is a captive viking clan immediately to the your
left. Free them to increase your army size. Heading down the right path will
eventually lead you to the Cave Leystone. Proceed NE of the leystone and
kill the archer on the walkway. You'll have a brief vision. After its over,
blast the gate open. Exit the cave and find the Flatturgrunnur Leystone just
to the NE.
3.2.12: Plateau Camp
--------------------
There aren't many soldiers here. You can stealth around and kill a few if
you wish. One the camp is clear, free the vikings to increase your army size.
While you're here, be sure to open the chest and gain the Mugin Gem Fragment.
Return to the Cave Camp to hand over the legion insignia if you have not done
so already. Next up is a stealth attack on Holdenfort.
3.2.13: Holdenfort Barracks
---------------------------
On the way to Holdenfort, you'll find the Holdenfort Battlefield leystone
just south of the city. Your task here is to destroy the Barracks of
Holdenfort that now house legion soldiers. The Barracks are at the west end
of town sitting upon the top of a cliff.
If you want to collect all the skulls, the entrance to start with is at the
SW corner of town. Its a broken down section of wall that has been replaced
by some planks. Climb over here. As you do, you will see a legion soldier to
the north looking at something in a corner. That something is the first red
skull of Holdenfort.
Having acquired the first skull, either sneak to the east or exit and head
to the broken down section of wall to enter Holdenfort from the SE. From
here, proceed northwest and down the ramp to the docks. After reaching the
bottom continue to the west and then head down the second ramp. You'll find
the next red skull here. Continue back to the west. There is a large
floodgate blocking the river. Jump up and grab onto the ledge of the
floodgate. Use the ledge to make your way across the river.
Drop off the ledge and head to the east. Don't take the ramp up. Continue
along the road to the NE. As the road curves off to the east, continue north
and look to the west. A red skull is hiding behind a wooden shelving unit.
Head back to the west and up the ramp you just passed. As you proceed to the
northwest, you should see a grand staircase heading up. Just to the left of
the stairs is a building. Hidden behind the building is another red skull.
Head up the grand staircase. At the top, turn to your right a bit and
continue up the ramp. At the top of the ramp, be watchful for a hornblower
patrolling. Jump the fence on the right and continue to the north. Continue
along leap over the fence wall. There is a red skull in the corner here.
Continue west along the road.
When you reach the bridge, head down to the east and go under the bridge.
You can then climb on the support structure. Hang from ledges and climb
around jumping between supports. Continue in this manner until you reach
the other side. It looks more dangerous then it really is. On the other
side head to the left and up the ramps. As you reach the top of the ramp,
turn to the right and in the corner of the fence is the last Holdenfort red
skull. All that remains is to reach the barracks and burn them down.
Looking NW from the skull, you'll see the barracks peeking over a walled off
region. Watch for legion moving from the summoning portal. When the path is
clear, run across the road toward the barracks. There is an opening on the
east side of the wall that will grant you access. Circle the barracks to get
to the north side. Climb on the crates to get into position to plant the
explosives. Once planted, they'll explode shortly completing the objective.
Flee or fight. Regardless, you should now be ready for the Battle of
Holdenfort.
3.2.14: Battle of Holdenfort
----------------------------
Your viking army approaches Holdenfort from the south. The legion have
already positioned themselves outside of Holdenfort's walls in battle
formation. Legion Archers are positioned to the west. To the north and east
is the host of the Legion Army.
The Shamans are immediately to your north and east. Fight your way through
the legion soldiers to kill them both. A legion champion lies directly
ahead. Take him down first to gain two dragon runes. They can be used to
take out the shaman to the east quickly.  The eastern shaman is atop a
fortified position which makes it a difficult climb to kill him. Having
killed the champion, you should be near the northern shaman already. Press
on and take him down. Killing the shaman earns you 1 dragon rune.
Use you dragon rune to clear out either the main gate or the broken gate
entrance quickly. One shaman is to the east down at the docks. The other is
up at the south side of the bridge. A legion champion is also down at the
docks. Killing the champion will earn you another two dragon runes. Use them
to burn down the western shaman. Proceed down the docks to kill the other
shaman and earn another dragon rune.
You'll now face another champion one on one. The fight occurs on the bridge
which can be somewhat cramped. Just dodge as usual and make use of slow rage
attacks to quickly move the champion into execute range. Finishing the
champion earns you two more dragon runes.
As you move north across the bridge you will need to kill two more shamans.
Use the runes you just earned to burn the eastern one down. He's farther
away from your position then the other shaman. If you have a spare dragon
rune, you can also torch the group of archers in the middle of the battle.
Proceed northwest up the stairs toward the remaining shaman. Some use of
magic and fast rage attacks can quicken the battle up these stairs. Kill
the shaman and earn another dragon rune.
One shaman is directly ahead as you press up the ramp. Fight through the
legion and take him down. His death earns you another dragon rune. You
should now have two runes to use and burn down the remaining shaman.
You must now battle your way to the summoning stones and call forth your
shaman. Fight your way up the last ramp and summon your shaman at the center
stone. You must now defend her for a short period while she cleanses the
stones.
3.2.15: Liberated Holdenfort
----------------------------
Having been victorious at Holdenfort, it is now a new base of operation for
your viking army. You begin at the Holdenfort Leystone. Head down and talk
to people.
Innkeeper Holmstein will accept any kegs of mead and give you gold in
exchange. The shop here will sell Health Advance Stage 3 for 980 gold.
Talk to Chieftain Honir to open the gates of northen Holdenfort. Talk to
Shaman Asta to open the North gate.
Head out the NW gate and travel along the path to reach the Drawbridge
Leystone. You can use the nearby crank to lower the drawbridge. Continue
west to reach the bridge camp.
3.2.16: Bridge Camp
-------------------
As you approach from the east, you should see a hornblower on patrol. Take
him out quietly. Clear the camp site and free the vikings for an army size
increase. Continue heading west and north until you reach another camp.
3.2.17: Bay Ruins
-----------------
Another viking clan is held captive here. You can stealth in and kill some
slumbering legion. Use the western cliff to your advantage and shove some
legion to their death. Clear the camp and increase you army size again.
Continue north to the Northern Watchtower Leystone. Head southeast of the
leystone past a small farm house and up into the mountains. Here you'll find
another legion camp.
3.2.18: Arena Camp
------------------
As you climb up the mountain side, stealth kill any archers. When you
approach the camp, be careful of the hornblower. Clear out the 10 or so
legion soldiers and free the viking clan. Your army grows ever bigger.
Continue south into the moutains. You'll soon reach the Holmgangdale
Leystone. To the north is a small group of legion to kill.
3.2.19: Battle Arena
--------------------
Just NW of the Holmgangdale Leystone is the battle arena. Several new moves
are now purchasable.
Hel's Fury        - 1200 gold
The Spear of Odin - 500 gold
Valkyrie Stampede - 1200 gold
Baldur's Silence  - 3000 gold
Baldur's Silence can probably wait since you should have Fenrir's Bite by
now. Valkyrie Stampedge should be purchased immediately. Its a vicious
counter that will kill most legion opponent's in one strike.
3.2.20: Watchtower
------------------
Head back to the north and down the mountains. Proceed toward the
Watchtower. As before, clearing the tower requires killing all legion around
and in the tower.
Hop over the broken part of the fence in the SW and proceed into the tower
through the basement. Climb the tower and kill all the legion you cross. At
the top, knock the archers from the roof and then deal with the shaman. Head
back down to kill any legion left and finish clearing the tower.
Head NE to find another legion camp.
3.2.21: North Beach Camp
------------------------
Another clan of vikings needs to be saved. Watch for the two hornblower.
Clear the legion and free the vikings as usual.
Just east of the camp is the Godholt leystone. Continue to the NE.
3.2.22: Lumber Farm
-------------------
At the west entrance to the farm along the cliffs, there is a legion
champion. Killing him gets you the crane key. This is needed to lower the
caged vikings. The crane used to release the vikings is in the NE corner.
If you are stealthy, you can drop the cage on some unsuspecting legion. The
vikings will clean up the rest of the farm.
Talk to Saw Master Bori who will ask you to retrieve his grinding stones
from the beach to the west. Return to the North Beach Camp. There will be a
chest containing a heavy grindstone. Return it to Bori to increase your army
size.
The Lumber Mill leystone lies to the south. From the stone head sw toward
the vineyard.
3.2.23: Farm Camp
-----------------
Just east of the vineyard is another Legion camp. Clear it out and free the
vikings to increase your army size.
SE of the vineyard is the Austerine Leystone.
3.2.24: Vineyard
----------------
The vineyard must be approached from the NW. The main gate to the south is
initially barricaded. The vikings are heavily guarded in the center of the
vineyard. You can charge in and fight your way to them. Alternatively, you
can try to sneak around and blow up 3 charges in the area that will distract
the guards near the viking cage. Either way, free the vikings and talk with
Farmer Blyn. He wants you to return to Holdenfort and request archer support
for the vineyard.
A quick jump to your death will put you back in Holdenfort. Vidar the
archery master is found just across the bridge by the NW gate. Return to
Blyn with the good word and increase your army size.
Return again to Holdenfort and take the North gate out of town. Climb the
rocks on the left and continue to follow the path until you reach the
Guerilla Camp.
3.2.25: Guerilla Camp
---------------------
Shortly after entering the Camp you'll find the Longboat Graveyard Leystone.
To prove yourself to the guerilla's you must find the second half of the
mugin gem which is supposedly in the nearby mine.
3.2.26: Mine
------------
The entrance to the mine is just east of the Leystone. Pull the lever to
take the elevator down. Make your way through the mine. At the back a viking
named Kali is found behind a locked gate. He tells you the key should be
nearby. Head SE of the gate and take the first right. Immediately to the
left in a dark alcove there will be a shield soldier guarding the chest.
Kill him and loot the Rusty key from the chest.
Return and open the gate. Continue deeper into the mine. At the bottom,
you'll be ambushed by Drakan and 4 legion. Drakan flees with the mugic gem
fragment and leaves you to fight the legion. After killing the 4 soldiers,
you'll have another vision.
When you awaken, the guerillas will task you with entering Caldberg and
retrieving the gem fragment.
3.2.27: Dragon Gem Mugin
------------------------
This gem fragment is hidden far within Caldberg. You must retrieve it to
convince the Guerillas to join your army and to summon another dragon. Begin
by teleporting to the Northern Watchtower Leystone.
Proceed south and back north to head under the massive bridge of Caldberg.
Follow the beach west under the bridge and then travel to the north. Follow
the path up to find Caldberg Stathe Leystone.
Head south to find your way into Caldberg via some rope netting. After
climbing the second set of rope, you will be facing west. There is a house
down across from you. Just to the left you can barely make out the first red
skull of Caldberg, the 7th overall.
Head back to the netting you came up. To the left of the netting, head under
the archway and across the wall to the south. At the end, turn to the right,
but not down the stairs. There is a long rope net hanging from the wall.
Head down the net. At the bottom, head west toward the building on the other
side of the grand staircase. A red skull is behind the building.
Head back up the net you just came down. Continue south when you reach the
top and down the wood walkway. Take the ladder down. Just as you get to the
bottom of that ladder, another ladder sits to the south. Take it down as
well and down the 3rd ladder after that. To the SW is a large archway. Head
there and down the stairs. Jump the crates at the bottom and head due west.
There is a net on the wall. Take it down and head along the docks. Just
after you turn to the right, there is a crate sitting against the wall. A
red skull is sitting next to the crate.
Continue to follow the walkway all the way around. At the end will be a rope
net to climb up. At the top, turn right. Dead ahead will be another red
skull.
Immediately turn around and head back toward the net. Continue west past the
net and head around the building to your right. Just up the grand stairs you
should see the Caldberg Leystone. Activate the stone and continue up the next
set of grand stairs to the east. Stay toward the right and take the small set
of stairs down. Continue straight ahead to find a red skull in the corner.
Head back a bit and take the grand staircase leading up. Straight ahead
continue up the next set of stairs. Turn to the right at the top of those
stairs and in the corner is the last Caldberg red skull.
With the skulls out of the way, head back to the Caldberg Leystone to
continue to find the gem fragment.
Head just down the stairs to the south and follow the dirt ramp to the SE.
As you come down the end of the ramp, you'll be practically on top of the
gem. Turn to the left immediately enter the small building and kill the
shaman. Turn around and take out the 5 legion soldiers who noticed you. Open
the chest in the small building to retrieve the 2nd half of the Mugin Gem.
Die or head back to the Caldberg leystone. Teleport to the Longboat
