Turning Tides Walkthrough

  1. Fire Support
  2. In Ashes
  3. Hidden Fangs
  4. Reclamation

1. Fire Support

1.1 Speak with the Soldier at the Gunsite
Canon Soldier Location
Speak with the soldier by the broken cannon asking for help. Help him attach the wheels to the cannon.
1.2 Destroy the Black Bear's Watchtowers
Destroy the Smoking Watchtowers with the Canon
Speak to the commanding soldier at the center, then use one of the cannons along the wall to target the smoking watchtowers below. Destroy all four to progress.

2. In Ashes

2.1 Speak with the Soldier in the Outskirts
Speak with the Soldier in the Outskirts
Head down the camp in the outskirts and talk to the soldiers there. You will find them arguing about the soldier who got caught by the Black Bears.
2.2 Infiltrate the Black Bears' Base
Black Bear Elite Enemy
Exit the camp and head to the Black Bears' Base. You will encounter a lot of Black Bear soldiers, but you can ignore them and go straight towards their base.

The base is heavily guarded and walled, so try to avoid getting surrounded. Once the lessser enemies are thinned out, defeat the Black Bear Captain wielding a hammer to progress. Whistling Arrows to call in AoE canon fire where you shoot the arrow are excellent here.

His hammer deals heavy damage, so be prepared to dodge when he jumps in the air to strike.
2.3 Rescue the Captives
After defeating the Black Bear Captain, the game automatically transitions to a cutscene where you rescue the captive guards.

3. Hidden Fangs

3.1 Destroy Black Bears' Battle Weapons
Black Bear Siege Engine Tank Locations
Go to the battlefield and find the Black Bear tanks scattered along the battlefield. You can identify them on the map as the Black Bear Siege Weapon icons.
3.2
Shoot Whistling Arrow on Tanks
Use Whistling Arrows on the tank to call down cannon bombardments from a far, making quick work of the tanks. Once five tanks have been destroyed, a cutscene will play.

4. Reclamation

4.1 Defeat the Enemies Surrounding the Outer Bailey
During the cutscene, the Black Bears retreat all the way back to Calphade Castle, automatically completing Reclamation and transitioning to the next questline.
