You are a viking and you start off in a battle dying. Freya comes down and you pledge to help her rid the world of Hel. She then uses her magic to kill all Legion in the area and you start your story and are given a new life. As I mentioned before really basic (too basic...That's one of the things that detract from the overall value of the game itself). ----------------------------- =- -= = - Game Play Information - =-(5.0) =- -= ----------------------------- I have provided some tips below on how to have an easier time during standard gameplay. - Tip 1: Buy the maps that are provided throughout each area at the store. This allows you to visually see on the mini-map the location of all of the chests and bags of gold on the map which can really help you when trying to scrape together the money for training or magic. It essentially pays for itself within a couple of minutes of actually hunting for money. - Tip 2: Buy all magic as you go through the game in each area. This is very important for being successful in some of the more difficult parts of the game. - Tip 3: Try to buy all of the arena moves that are available in the first area. Try to buy them all before leaving the first area. Same with the second area. Try to buy them all here before you get into the third area. This allows you to have an easier time trying to keep up with it. - Tip 4: I advise spending a lot of money in the game. I suggest buying things in the following order when you get to each new area: Health Upgrades->Maps->Magic->Moves in that order. The health upgrades are most important because the enemies in each area are stronger and you need the HP advantage to make it through safer. The Maps come second because without them it'll take you 4 times as long to gather the money for the other stuff. Magic is next...they are more important than moves. They are given to you at different intervals for the purpose of helping you through the game. After that start getting the Arena. I normally don't buy any extra stuff until I have all that is listed. I don't buy potions or any other weapons from there normally until I have all the other stuff I have listed to make sure I am able to get it (very rarely). Generally you will have enough money for all the things in that area + some extra stuff as well to help supplement you in battle. - Tip 5: Take a few minutes when the fatality button comes up to use it. This gives you 3 red orbs instead of 1. A red orb is what adds into your magic pool to allow you to use your elemental magic. Killing an enemy gets you one, but finishing him with the fatality instead get 3. - Tip 6: Don't always use your magic psychotically. Instead wait until you are surrounded by a larg-e group of enemies and use it when needed. In the meantime let it build up for awhile so it's more useful when you do need it in large groups. - Tip 7: Don't mess around with getting the skulls if your not using the X-Box 360 system because they have absolutely no purpose aside from the achievements. That doesn't exist on PS3 so the only point in getting them on that system is the right to be able to say you got them. - Tip 8: Here is something "Fun" and interesting I found. If you get your action bars (Those are the balls that allow you to use your specials) up to 1. Meaning to first use them all. Then hit an enemy, then do a thrust/impale move, then hit them once then thrust impale, and repeat. If you keep repeating this over plus changing directions you can do (Hit/thrust, Hit/thrust, Hit/thrust ) over and over again in a really rapid manner. It's not a whole lot useful strategically but it is fun and allows you to attack in a very very rapid manner. - Tip 9: The Special Attack that allows you to swing your weapon 4 times consecutively (The same attack that does the thrust. Basically if you have 1 action bar then it does the thrust if you have 2 then it does another move). That other move is really good against enemies with shields because it allows you to bypass the shield and start tearing flesh after the second consecutive hit. SO you can use that until you are down to one action bar or 2 and then do the thrust and start doing hit/thrust over and over again which makes it a lot better. ----------------------- =- -= = - War Information - =-(6.0) =- -= ----------------------- I have provided some tips below on how to have an easier time making it through wars within the game. - Tip 1: Unlock as many of the troops within the areas as you can before trying any of the wars. This'll give you more troops to fight with and less of a chance of being defeated. - Tip 2: You can go through the game and you'll notice you'll get Dragon Gems. You can either save them for when you really need them or use them as you get them and it won't really hurt anything in the end. This is what you use that allows you to call the dragons during battle. - Tip 3: This is a good time to buy/bring some potions with you. I have noticed many times that I will get over to a Shaman and I will destroy all of his defense totems and at the last minute get killed before I can kill him. This is frustrating because I have to go all the way back to the shaman to be able to kill him. A quick way to avoid this is to just gave some potions with you then you can just use a few after getting rid of the shamans totems. Then you can finish him off. - Tip 4: This war system isn't based solely on you. You'll notice your troops really play an active and powerful part of the battle process. They can gain ground and lose ground in any real battle. The thing is to make sure you use that to your advantage. For example during the battle just make sure you wait sometimes for your troops to get closer to the Shaman you are trying to kill before going to kill them. This gives you less side enemies to worry about because your troops fighting is taking some of the stress off of you so you can focus more attention on Shamans. - Tip 5: If there are archers, kill them before going after Shamans. With the archers gone this'll allow your troops to gain more ground and have less resistance. It'll also make them have an easier time getting to the Shamans general area to give you some kind of distraction from the enemy. - Tip 6: Throwing axes aren't really helpful during wars but they can get the Totems from a distance if you can get the right angle (Not really worth messing with though). - Tip 7: If your system lags don't worry about it. Certain battles are just hard for the system to handle. So sometimes it does lag, it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with your system or your game. - Tip 8: Use your elemental magic to your advantage. Especially frost. Use it around a large group of allies and everything they hit will freeze and pretty much take them out of the fight first thing. This can be really helpful to allow your troops to break out of the frontlines and get towards the back of the enemy troops. ------------------------- =- -= = - Achievement Guide - =-(7.0) =- -= ------------------------- * X-Box 360 Only * This is related to the X-Box 360 built in achievement system.

Viking Butcher-10 Points ------------------------ Description: Master the first new move at the Battle Arena. Advice: Simple go and learn the very first move that is listed at the Arena. It takes very little money and it's very simple to learn. Arena's can be located in each one of the different areas. Viking Slaughterer-12 Points ---------------------------- Description: Learn a total of 4 new moves. Advice: This is one you'll naturally get if you are at all playing the game. You just have to get access to the arena's. There is one arena in each area and to get the first 4 moves are very cheap, and very easy to master. And it would take a total of 10 minutes to gain all 4 of them if you had the money on hand. Viking Slayer-14 Points ----------------------- Description: Master a total of 8 new moves. Advice: This one is similar to the above. All there really is to it is to locate the arena (easy) and then to have the money to buy it (Not very hard if you spend just a few minutes picking up the chests and loot bags laying around all over the place). This one is a lot harder than the one above because the prices get a little bit more expensive, but it shouldn't be a problem. Viking Warrior-16 Points ------------------------ Description: Master a total of 12 new moves. Advice: This is one of the more difficult ones in the �master moves� chain. This time you have to buy 12. Most likely this won't happen until you get into the second area of the game. I don't even think you have access to 12 of them until you get into that other area. Same thing..find an arena. Work towards getting money together as you go along and you might not have to hunt down most of it when you are ready to do the achievement. Viking Blademaster-18 Points ---------------------------- Description: Learn all the moves in the game. Advice: Basically you would have to be the kind of player willing to put the time into it. It can take some time to do this. If you are playing it just to play it then I doubt you'll get this. If you really are actively trying to get everything unlocked and all achievement's then it's not too hard to get. Demon Hacker-5 Points --------------------- Description: Finish off 25 Legion with fatality moves. Advice: This one is very easy. Simply use your Special fatality on stunned enemies 25 times. It is almost guaranteed you'll get this during original gameplay. Secre-tive Rogue-20 Points ------------------------- Description: Complete the quest to sneak into Darkwater. Advice: There is a quest you can grab from someone that you liberated that isn't far from Darkwater. He gives you a quest to go into darkwater and purify some stones or something. All you have to do is sneak in and do it. This isn't real hard just head towards the right and stealth your way through the enemies. Any of the walkthroughs on the internet and on gamefaqs to go into detail about how to sneak in. There are 1-2 exceptional walkthroughs that I know of that'll get you right through it with minimal of annoyance. Should you decide to do it on your on just look up the section related to stealthing information. The Perfect Killer-20 Points ---------------------------- Description: Kill a Legion Champion without being hit. Advice: This one can be a pain. There are multiple areas where you fight them. The idea is to hit and run. They have multiple moves they use on you. One of them is where they spin around and get there weapon stuck into the ground. The safe way to kill them is to make sure all other enemies are dead before getting near it. Then when you are ready get it's attention and just stand outside of it's range. Go in close from time to time to try and taunt it into attacking. After a couple of minutes it'll spin and get stuck in the ground. When he does move in close and hit him with a barrage of safe attacks (don't overdo it. When he get's it unstuck then run out of his range). After a few minutes of repeating the above action it'll be fairly easy at that point. You'll see a signal key above his head with a button to mash. Mash it and follow the on screen button combo's. If it's flashing button it means rapidly press, if it flashes a solid button that means press it one time. If you mess up the combo then it releases the enemy and you have to repeat the above steps over again to make him go into stunned mode again. Killer of Champions-5 Points ---------------------------- Description: Kill 10 champions Advice: Not very hard and this is one you'll end up getting during general play through. You fight considerably more than 5 just in the main story. Killer of Giants-5 Points ------------------------- Description: Kill 5 Giants. Advice: Required to beat the game. You can't miss this one.

Advice: Required to beat the game. You can't miss this one. No Need for Immortality-50 Points --------------------------------- Description: Lead your army to victory at Hel's Fortress without need for immortality. Advice: I am not exactly sure how to get this one. I mean I am guessing just beating Hel's fortress without cheat codes will do it. I am not sure whether immortality is something related to a cheat you can use or something built into the game that you have the option of using. Feedback on this is appreciated. Thirst For Blood-10 Points -------------------------- Description: Kill 50 Legion Soldiers. Advice: Required to beat the game. You can't miss this one.

Slaughter Master-50 Points -------------------------- Description: Kill 500 Legion soldiers Advice: Required to beat the game. You can't miss this one. There is no-way you could make it through this game without getting it. ---------------------- =- -= = - Mead Locations - =-(8.0) =- -= ---------------------- I have had a couple of requests for a "Walkthrough" segment to be added that includes the various "Mead" locations throughout the game. I was considering doing this but I did some research online and there is a very good listing so far on the internet (which includes pictures of there locations and everything else). Based on the creators claims it may or may not be "complete" at this time but if it's not just add some new one's to it. With a couple of contributions added into that version then it might be complete within a short period of time. Not to mention that it's been there awhile and has had a few contributions to it already. If something ever happens and this link goes down or the creator takes it down let me know and I will consider writing one anyway. http://www.combatdesign.com/xbox-360-viking-keg-locations.htm - URL I don't want to just take what he has listed either and post it in my own walkthrough. The time required to generate a "Textual" list of meads would be very time consuming and not very helpful. However if I can get 4-5 contributions related to various mead locations then I might start putting something together within this guide using those contributions and start filling in the blanks. This is pretty much remains to be seen. I will keep this link here and if anyone wants to submit to me seperately a location of one of the "Meads" with it details enough for people to be able to locate it textually then I will start compiling Contributions and adding to them from my own research. --------------- =- -= = - Credits - =-(9.0) =- -= --------------- Anyone who contributs will be listed here along with what they contributed. ----------------- =- -= = - Copyright - =-(10.0) =- -= ----------------- This guide was a lot of work.

(The reason for this is because it's a service I am going to provide for my walkthroughs on one of my sites at a later date). - Rule 4: The poster of my walkthrough/guide must have the capability of checking gamefaqs.com ATLEAST 1 time per month for updated versions and update there version on there site(s) accordingly. If I locate a version of my guide that hasn't been updated within 1 month of a newer version on Gamefaqs then I will have to either ask that the guide would be removed or have the holder of the guide update it accordingly. Make sure if you take my walkthroughs that you have sufficient ability to check atleast 1 time per month on Gamefaqs.com for a new version and update it as necessary. - Rule 5: Not contact me everytime you Load it up to your site and update it. If I have 5 sites contacting me everytime I upload it then I will have a lot of extra emails that I don't need. - Rule 6: The site MUST remain free at all times. - Rule 7: The site must be clearly accessible to the public if it's listed on your site. It cannot be hidden behind a login form. If you have a site that requires members to be Signed up and Logged in to view walkthroughs then DO NOT use one of my guides on your site. I want whatever I write to be fully accessible to all who want to see it with minimal of trouble. ---------------- =- -= = - Bulletin - =-(11.0) =- -= ---------------- This bulletin is going to appear at the bottom of each and every walkthrough and guide that I write. The bottom line is a write a lot of walkthroughs guides. It takes a lot of time..so for those of you who would like to "Give Back" in some way I have listed a few things below that you could do that I would consider extremely helpful. - 1: Donations are always good. Any amount at any time can be sent to the email address at the top of the walkthrough. - 2: Helping me promote one of my 2 business's is also another good way (A really good way) to help pay me back for the time if you found good use in the guide. My main business Freelance Businessman (http://www.freelancebusinessman.com) is easy to help me with. If you know of someone who has need of my services send them my way. The other company I own is (http://www.businessmaninternational.com). The way you can help me with it is just let people know about. It's just a VERY small website that advertises all the sites in my network at any particular time. - 3: Another potential way you could help me out would be to keep my writing and if you know of a good publisher...or perhaps something else you could point them my way. I am wanting to write novels, and tons of other stuff but I would need a publisher who has seen my writing samples (these guides). They are not the BEST work I can do because I type them very fast and make a lot of mistakes..unlike when I am trying to write a book professionally. So the idea is basically that you are not required to give back..but if you want to then go for it (I can always use a little help here and there).
