In Ashes

Prerequisites

Complete Unfamiliar Lands

Walkthrough

1. 1You start with basic combat training—defeat 5 Black Bears using standard light and heavy attacks
2. 2Focus on taking down archers first to reduce ranged pressure on melee fighters
3. 3Naira is at the northernmost marker on your minimap with 8 enemies fighting her
4. 4Quick-time events follow each ally rescue cutscene—watch for prompts and react quickly
5. 5Myurdin uses heavy hammer attacks—dodge away when he jumps to avoid significant damage
6. 6Don't panic when your health reaches zero at Myurdin—this triggers a story cutscene, not a game over

Tips

• Use light attacks liberally—they cost no stamina and build damage quickly
• Heavy attacks drain stamina but deal more damage—save them for finishing enemies
• Prioritize archers to reduce ranged pressure during multi-enemy battles
• Watch for quick-time event prompts after cutscenes—missing them results in taking extra damage
• Myurdin's hammer attack has a tell: he jumps before striking—use this window to dodge
• You cannot die during Myurdin: losing causes a story transition, not mission failure
