Complete walkthrough for the Angel Gate mission in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II. Learn how to activate generators, find guardsmen, and defeat the Tyranid finale.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Angel Gate mission is significantly easier with the Dreadnought. It is recommended to bring Avitus and equip him with health packs.
  2. 2
    The primary objectives are to find all the guardsmen, activate several generators, and then close the doors to the Angel Forge.
  3. 3
    It is highly advisable to clear the entire map before proceeding to the finale. This allows you to activate all generators and locate all Imperial Guardsmen.
  4. 4
    The guardsmen will distract enemies during the finale, and more activated generators will make the final defense easier.
  5. 5
    Expect minor enemy opposition throughout the level, with more significant fights occurring near the generators. Be cautious when approaching and activating them, as they may trigger enemy attacks.
  6. 6
    Once all generators are activated and guardsmen are found, head to the doors of Angel Forge to initiate the finale.
  7. 7
    To start the finale, send your Force Commander (FC) to capture the south side of the gatehouse.
  8. 8
    Position Avitus behind your FC, aiming at the Angel Forge entrance to engage approaching enemies.
  9. 9
    Have Tarkus stand near your FC on the left to provide rear cover.
  10. 10
    Position the Dreadnought slightly back and to the left of your FC.
  11. 11
    As you begin capturing the gatehouse, Tyranids will swarm your position. Use the Dreadnought's ranged special attack to control and eliminate enemies.
  12. 12
    As the fight progresses, larger and stronger enemies will appear. Maintain defensive abilities with Tarkus and healing with Avitus to manage the threat.
  13. 13
    Later in the finale, Carnifexes will attack. If the gatehouse capture is not nearly complete, use the Dreadnought and Tarkus' squad to charge and hold them off while your FC finishes the capture.
Tips
  • The Dreadnought is almost essential for this mission due to its power and survivability, especially during the finale.
  • Equipping Avitus with health packs is crucial as he can stay back and heal your forces, making him a valuable support unit.
  • Clearing the map beforehand significantly reduces the difficulty of the finale by providing distractions and making the defense easier.
  • Pay attention to enemy spawns near generators, as they can be a surprise threat.
  • Strategic unit placement during the finale is key: FC capturing, Avitus providing ranged support, Tarkus offering close-range defense, and the Dreadnought acting as a heavy hitter.
