Walkthrough Battle for the Northern Way

Unwelcome

This quest begins immediately after The Swan-Road Home. As you near Halfdan’s settlement, Eivor will notice that
there’s something suspicious about the camp; it’s too quiet. The sail will be lowered as the ship moves more cau-
tiously to the shore. Once there, a cutscene will begin, followed by a brief fight.
The warriors you’re fighting here aren’t exactly well disciplined, or well armored. More of a rabble than a unit.
However, they can do a fair bit of damage from range if you don’t close the gap. Begin the fight by charging the
ranged units further inland. These men will be easy pickings. As you fight, the only thing you really need to look out
for is their use of dirt. They have a tendency to throw this in your face, which will briefly disorient those who are hit
and make any form of block or parry impossible for a second or two. This isn’t nearly enough of a threat to cause
you any problems, so round up the rabble and then loot the surrounding area, before moving on to the longhouse.

Tip

If you did sustain any damage during the fight, you’ll find plenty of local berry bushes, namely raspberries, which
you can use to heal and restore rat
