Quest stages of The Saga Stone
1. Speak to Geadric
When you're ready to start the assault, talk to Geadric and select the "Begin the assault." option.
You will automatically move near the castle walls and the siege will begin.
2. Shoot Links to lower the Drawbridge
It is best to avoid close combat, just run ahead to the bridge. Avoid areas that are about to be fired upon, and shoot the left and right bridge links to lower the bridge. To do this, you have to approach the drawbridge from the sides, for example, by walking on a rope.
3. Open the portcullis
Run through the open gate and climb the castle walls in the place shown in the picture below.
Then enter the rooms on the right. Inside you will come across several opponents. Kill them or let your companions take care of them, and use the mechanism to open the gate.
4. Reach the inner courtyard
Go to the inner courtyard. You will find Eadwyn there and the fight against her will begin.
5. Defeat Eadwyn
On the battlefield you will not be alone, you can be attacked by one of the soldiers and Eadwyn can focus on someone else for a while. Eadwyn uses a two-handed spear, so she has a long range. She can heal herself, so if you see her drinking a potion, attack her quickly to prevent it. Watch out for mines that she will throw from time to time. You can disarm them by shooting at them from a bow. When you defeat her, the siege will end.
After the fight, Geadric will let you decide what to do with Aedwyn. Your decision will not affect the further part of the game.
- Let her be exiled. - You will deprive Eadwyn of everything and banish her. She will be mad at you.
- Let Geadric look after her. - You will respect her bravery and hand her over to Geadric who will promise to treat her properly if she renounces her friendship with King Aelfred.
6. Regroup with Sigurd, Basim, and Fulke
Get to the upper floor of the main castle building. There you will find Sigurd, Basim and Fulke studying the stone. Your conversation will be interrupted by Geadric who will inform you that King Aelfred and his soldiers have surrounded the castle. Sigurd will decide to go to meet the king.
As a result of the unexpected turn of events that will take place during the meeting, Sigurd will be made to hand himself over to the king as his hostage. This event will end this quest.
After completing The Saga Stone you will get or will be able to get Reporting on Oxenefordscire.
