CHAPTER V: EDGE OF THE WORLD

Slowly advance through the forest with your troops until you cross a wooden bridge.

Prepare to be attacked by minotaur men. Note their weapons: axe-wielding enemies require dodges with roll, dual-wielding enemies are best handled with Focus followed by rapid attacks, and shielded enemies require breaking their defense before attacking.

Eliminate all enemies in the initial area.

After a (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)), proceed through the forest, quickly tapping A to break through any traps encountered.

Continue onward, engaging horned enemies.

Collect projectiles and use them on enemies firing flaming arrows. Use large rocks for (cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects)) (a defensive position), peeking out to shoot before returning to cover.

You will encounter horned minotaur men burning soldiers alive and find a cage of your men. Use projectiles to eliminate as many enemies as possible before jumping down to the cage. More enemies will appear upon your descent.

Kill all remaining enemies.

Go to the cage gate and press X to free the soldiers.

Escort the freed soldiers to the next camp and locate another cage of soldiers.

Eliminate all enemies in the vicinity.

Hold LB to order your troops to open the cages.

A flag will appear in the center of the area; go to it and tap A.

Assign your archers: placing them left fires at enemy archers, placing them right targets moving enemies. Choose a position to cover your weaknesses.

Man the scorpion ballista and defend against incoming enemy waves.

After a few waves, another flag will appear. Go to it to advance through the ravine with your troops.

Push the stick forward, holding A to take defensive positions with your shields against incoming arrows.

Hold RT and release to have Marius and troops toss projectiles at enemies, killing them and continuing forward.

When you see soldiers in a cage again, they will be on fire. The number of soldiers you have is shown as a bar in the upper right-hand corner of the (HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap)) (Heads-Up Display). Killing enemies quickly conserves soldiers.

Minotaur men will attempt to set soldiers on fire, indicated by an objective marker. Prioritize these enemies immediately, using projectiles or (Focus) (a combat mechanic that slows time) if necessary.

After a period of combat, a boss battle with Glott will commence. Glott cancels (Focus) attempts.

Glott's attacks mostly require rolling to evade rather than countering. He typically performs two attacks, so be prepared to roll twice before attacking. Continue this pattern until his health is just below halfway, then complete the (QTEs) (Quick Time Events).

In the second stage, the strategy remains similar, but Glott becomes more aggressive and his attacks are harder to dodge.
