Fight at the Forge

You take charge of Brokk’s forces as the armies of the two brothers approach the dwarven forge deep in the mines. You have one objective: capture and hold the dwarven forge long enough for Brokk to build Freyr’s gift.

Eitri’s forces control the forge, but it will take him fifteen minutes to complete the boar. Claim the nearby town center, start training additional troops, and use your starting Jarl to explore the caves.

Since you can’t farm in the caves, you’ll run out of food before long. The underground lakes are teeming with life, but Eitri’s boats have already occupied the best fishing spots. Leave the Fishing Ships alone and focus on destroying the single Dock at each lake. Once you destroy the Dock, the Fishing Ships will convert to your side.

After you’ve supplemented your starting army with fresh recruits, attack Eitri’s guards at the forge. You should be able to drive off Eitri’s forces without too much trouble. Now all you have to do is hold the forge until the Boar is complete.

Build up strong defenses around the forge – towers, walls, and a Hill Fort or three. Train troops near the forge too; if Eitri attacks with a large enough army, the forge might convert back, and you’d have to recapture it again and start over.

Expect a strong attack just before you complete the Boar. If the forge is well-defended, you should be able to hold off anything Eitri throws at you. Just ride out the storm and watch the clock tick down.
