The Lindisfarne Riches, Ulf Ironbeard - Viking Walkthrough Ancestors Legacy Guide and Walkthrough

Last update: 23 May 2018

This chapter contains walkthrough for Ulf Ironbeard's final campaign mission called "The Lindisfarne Riches". This is a very long and challenging mission in Ancestors Legacy.

Difficulty level of this mission: 9/10

You have finally reached Lindisfarne monastery. However, the path that leads to it won't be easy for you. You start the mission with a base and one village. Send troops to the carts in order to collect food - use this resource to keep your army's morale.

Head to your village (A), wait for the enemy to attack and then capture the settlement B (north-west). Send workers, replenish forces and then attack the village C (north). From there you have to move out and destroy enemy garrison on the north - doing this will stop enemy attacks from this part of the map.

You can now catch a breath - be sure that villages collect enough resources and focus on developing new technologies to increase resources income and to reduce army costs.

When you are ready, you can gather forces and attack the village D (north-east from your main base). Also, try to capture the village E immediately - it will allow you to replenish your troops. Build three watchtowers - the enemy will keep attacking this settlement regularly.

Order a few of your squads to defend the village and send 2-3 squads to capture the last village (F). Focus on defending the settlement, developing new technologies and upgrading troops. The enemy will keep attacking you with full force - this can cause you a few problems but it will allow you to level up a lot of your squads. This will be very useful during the later stage of this mission.

When you are ready, you can send your forces to attack the enemy base. Build one ballista to destroy towers from a distance and to set barracks and archery range on fire as fast as you can - the fight can drag out because the enemy will keep recruiting new units.

Remember to retreat experienced and upgraded units - don't let them die because more fights await you.

1. Soon, allies will arrive. Defeat the remaining enemies and use your ballista to destroy the wall's weak point (select the option that allows you to fire at a specific location and then order the ballista to shoot at the part of the wall marked by the game).
2. Enter the town - be ready to have a few battles with challenging enemies. Allied ships will arrive after some time - you can try to help them but potential loses may not be worth it.
3. Replenish troops and head to the top of the mountain. Win a few more battles (these ones should be easier). Remember that you can order troops to fall back.
4. The mission, and the entire campaign, ends when you reach the monastery. Ulf has raided Lindisfarne - he goes back home with ships full of gold!
