Boss Strategies: How to Beat Goodwin

• Attacking Goodwin from the front can be difficult because his heavy shield can deflect most attacks.
• Shooting his heavy shield with a charged arrow from a hunter bow can knock him off-balance.
• Watch out for the long-reaching attacks of his Great Sword.
• Always be prepared to dodge out of his heavy lunging attack. This deals heavy damage and may open you up to other attack combos.
• Goodwin can ignite his Great Sword on fire. Anticipate this throughout the fight.

Kill or Spare Goodwin?

Both choices ultimately lead to Goodwin's death. The difference is how Goodwin will die after the boss fight.

	Secure the garrison by eliminating as many Saxons as you can.

Hjorr and Ljufvina

	Approach Hjorr and Ljufvina near Chepeham's church. They will inform you that Aelfred escaped and Hunwald has suffered a grave injury.

Guthrum

	Guthrum is located in a building beside Chepeham's church.
	Climb the wall to cross to the other side of the barred door.
	Eliminate the guards. TIP: You can perform an advanced assassination on one of them from the beams directly above them.
