-----do not talk to gandalf let him start on his own so you have time to prepare the catapults-----
---commanders
set all commanders to 2 handed
target priority doesn't matter
be sure to give the commanders all their orders after each side quest
---proper aiming of the catapult
upgrade damage and speed but do not upgrade distance
for enemy catapults the southern most catapult is turned 5 times to the right and cranked 4 times, loaded with grapeshot to hit both catapults
the northern catapult is turned 6 times to the left and cranked 4 time and loaded with grapeshot
-enemy catapult sets first attack 2 outside the north wall, second set 2 outside the south wall, third attack 2 outside each wall
(you must prepare for one of the side quests that uses the catapults the southern should be prepared first and the northern one after killing the enemy catapults)
---enemy towers
you take out the towers by destroying all 3 grapple hooks one the wall (by attacking them) then walking onto the tower and activating all 3 of the powder casks
you can wait to do the towers until after you have finished the side quest
-first wall one tower on the north part of the wall
-second wall one tower on the south part of the wall
-third wall 2 towers on the closest parts of the north and south wall
-----first quest-----
to prepare after about 2 minutes send 4 people to where the grim spawns the 2 that remain on the wall will fire the catapults for drummers
---Drummers of War
6 trolls appear outside the walls you must hit them with the catapults to kill them
-southern catapult 5 turns right and 3 cranks loaded with spread shell
-northern catapult 2 turns left from where you hit the enemy catapults and 3 cranks out loaded with spread shells
-for both catapults after the first shot load triple shell crank 3 times and fire to take out the last troll
---Epic Foe: Ughash the Unslakable
a fire grim epic foe will appear behind the wall all the way to the north there are stairs in the north most tower you should have people waiting ready to fight him as you only have 30 seconds to kill him for plat he will appear just north of the broken wagon in the street he has an induction so remember to have your interrupt ready
-----second quest-----
---Epic Foe: Masorgh, Cleaver of Heads
a half troll that appears in the tower under the southern catapult he hits hard and has very high mits whoever takes his aggro should drag him through the soldiers and give them orders so that they help you to kill him and if you have it hit him with the blue officer banner again you have 30 seconds to get plat
---A Brutal Reversal
you must deconstruct barricades, kill all the mobs, and extinguish the balista that catch on fire
-the barricades are deconstructed with 4 dismantle attempts it should say 10 barricades dismantled when you are done
-there are 5 ballista and extinguishing them should be your first priority they are lit on fire when you aggro the siege engineers
-you must kill all the archers before you kill the last boss
-the last boss is on the southern most tower and must die after all the barricades are dismantled and all the other enemies are killed
(the barricades can glitch and appear to be intact after they are dismantled if they do not get smaller after you use the dismantle skill leave it as it's already counted for you)
---Up from the Depths
you must enter the cisterns (the door is behind the wall slightly south of the middle section) and kill mobs and disarm the powder casks
-goblin sappers can not be cced and when they are aggroed they will run to light a giant cask the giant cask must be disarmed before it explodes if they are lit they will take at least 2 people to disarm it before it explodes
-the boss has 2 goblin sappers attached to him they can be aggroed without going to the giant casks as long as they aren't damaged so you have to just walk up to them and run away
the group should move as one for this quest from one giant cask to the next all helping to disarm the cask when you get to the last 2 in the back have one person walk up to the boss but not attack and kite him and the sappers with him around the pillers while the giant casks and all the smaller casks get disarmed (important note nobody can damage them until the large caskes get disarmed or they will light both at once and make if very difficult to disarm them) once all the casks are disarmed all players help to kill the boss and sappers
-----third quest-----
---On Black wings
5 spirits will appear attacking soldiers then after they die a fell beast will attack
-5 soldiers are standing around and a spirit appears and runs up to each and must be killed, if you get to and attack the spirit fast enough you will take aggro and that soldier will not be harmed
-when the fell beast drops he will fear people over and over he must be dpsed to about a quarter of his morale to make him fly off and finish the quest
---Broken by Fear
a group of terrified soldiers will appear behind the wall just north of the gate you must defend them while attacking the subjugated soldiers headed for the gate mechanism
-position someone with aoe dps north of the terrified soldiers where the path narrows the orcs that attack them come through there and if you hit them they will aggro on you so haveing 2 or 3 people to grab and kill them before they get to the soldiers is the best way to protect them
-the subjugated soldiers will either come out of the door in fromt of the gate or from the alley the orcs that attack the terrified soldiers appear from you must attack them and bring them to about 1/3 of their morale before they reach the gate
