(1 of 3) Free the imprisoned Danes for some extra warriors.

As might be expected, the Pikeman is armed with a pike, which provides a great advantage to its wielder. If you
have a longspear of your own, now would be the time to use it. Otherwise, you’ll need to be cautious when ap-
proaching the Pikeman, and time your attacks well. Be ready to parry at any moment, as the Pikeman can strike
swiftly and without much warning in terms of any visual cue. The Pikeman can hit for a great deal of damage with
one strike, so take note of the shrubs outside for healing if you need them.

Note
Alongside the main treasure chests, you’ll find some minor treasure, including at least 100 Supplies for your settle-
ment, in the small chapel behind the tower to the southeast.
Once you’ve killed the Pikeman, head southeast to the tower. You’ll notice a large group of enemies on the wooden
structure to the right of the tower, many of which are archers. You should get close to these as soon as possible to
avoid their arrows, but be sure that you have a few crew members alongside you to deal with any melee resistance.
Take them out in any way that you see fit, then enter the tower to find the Mark of Death ability from a Book of
Knowledge. If you already acquired this ability during Birthrights, finding this book will upgrade the ability, allow-
ing you to target more enemies with it.
