Prepare for a grueling but ultimately rewarding experience as you push towards the campaign's conclusion.

Objective: Breach the Fortress

Your primary objective in The Final Assault is to breach the enemy fortress and defeat their commander. This typically involves several stages:

1. Initial Push: You'll begin by assaulting the outer defenses. This might involve clearing out archers on the walls, breaking down gates, or pushing through fortified positions.
2. Navigating the Courtyard: Once inside the outer walls, you'll need to fight your way through a courtyard often filled with enemy soldiers and defensive emplacements.
3. Ascending to the Keep: The final push will likely involve ascending to the main keep or central tower where the enemy commander awaits.

Key Enemy Encounters and Tactics

Throughout The Final Assault, you'll encounter several enemy types, each requiring a specific approach.

• Archers on Walls: Prioritize taking out archers on the ramparts early to reduce incoming arrow fire. Use cover and flanking maneuvers.
• Heavily Armored Knights: These enemies are tough. Use overhead attacks, thrusts to the unarmored sections (if any), or flanking attacks to bypass their defenses. Chambering their heavy swings is also effective.
• Shield Bearers: Their shields can be frustrating. Use kicks to break their guard, or wait for them to attack and then counter.
• Siege Weapons: If present, prioritize destroying any siege weapons like ballistae or catapults as they can inflict massive damage.
• The Commander: The final boss will likely be a skilled warrior. Observe their attack patterns, learn their tells, and exploit any openings.

Recommended Loadout and Perks

For The Final Assault, a balanced loadout that offers both offensive and defensive capabilities is recommended. Consider the following:

Weapon	Armor	Perks
Zweihander or Halberd	Heavy Armor (Legionary, Knight)	Bloodlust (for sustain), Fireproof (against fire pots), Friendly (for team coordination)
Spear and Shield	Medium Armor (Huscarl, Vanguard)	Scavenger (for ammo/bandages), Bloodlust, Friendly

Note: Experiment with what feels best for your playstyle. A ranged option like a crossbow can also be useful for clearing initial threats.

Walkthrough Steps and Tips

1. Secure the Gatehouse: Your first major hurdle will likely be breaching the main gate. Use any available siege equipment or coordinate with your AI allies to break it down.
2. Clear the Outer Bailey: Once inside, move methodically, clearing out enemy soldiers. Use cover effectively and don't rush into open areas.
3. Ascend the Walls: If archers are a problem, find a way to get onto the walls yourself or use ranged attacks to clear them.
4. Push Towards the Keep: The path to the keep will be heavily defended. Use your allies as a buffer and focus on taking down key threats.
5. Confront the Commander: The final encounter will be a challenging duel. Focus on defense, parrying, and striking when you see an opening. Don't get greedy.

The Final Assault is a true test of your combat prowess in Mordhau. By following these strategies and staying focused on your objective, you can overcome the final challenge and emerge victorious.
