Episode 1

Defeating the sea serpent

The sequence looks just awesome and the serpent is huge. There are basically three types of attacks from the serpent. One is that it will try and bit you, you press B quickly and break the grasp on you. The second is that it will dive and it’s tail will smash flat on the ground, the third is allot like the first but it’s neck is at ground level so you can use your rage ( RT ) and hit the beast. After draining it’s health to a 1/3 you will have to do a sequence where you hit the neck, it gets knocked out momentarily, you then are prompted to press B rapidly, then A once, doing this will lift the serpents head, you will then jump onto the head above it’s eye and grab a horn, press B rapidly when prompted and then randomly you will have to press a button, do this and you will grab the serpents horn and ram it into it’s eye in a spray of blood! The second act of this is now two serpent heads appear, quickly stun the right head as it will come at you first, do the whole process of insert horn in eye, if you miss this step you will most likely die as two heads are allot better for the serpent than one. So anywho, defeat the second head then the third and out to a cutscene and you gain an achievement.



Episode 2

After defeating the sea serpent you are in a boat heading to find the monster Grendle, the graphics that are here are simply amazing, the rising and sinking of the waves, rain pummeling you with lightening in the distance. What you have to do in this episode is survive four reefs. When you come upon a reef you are prompted to press you LB and then hit X. What happens is you lead you men in what can best be described as the beat to music. Pressing and holding Y for long strokes and X for short strokes, timing is really everything and in each sequence you can only miss 2 notes. Missing the notes and your ship will run into the reef, damaging the ship and draining 1/3 of your health. 4 Reefs and you can only take 2 hits really. The neat thing about this mini game episode is that when you are hitting the X and Y in time the music tempo increases and you can really feel the rhythm of the music.



Episode 2 Kings Road

This episode is a training episode (feels that way) you learn about issuing commands via the LB. Command are basically  Y for having your men all help with something, kind of like how in Overlord you used you minons to carry things, B activates your group powers which enables all your men with power, A tells you men to rally on you.



Defeating Grendle is a very easy boss battle really. Grendle jumps thru the door and kills all you men in one shot, all you do is press RT and go into a rage, grab a pillar from the wall with B and hit the Grendle a few times, when his health is depleted  1/3 he will goto the center of the room in a blue blaze around him, approach and it is time for timed button pressing again. Start with B, then follow the progression. Basically do this 3 times and you end the scene by ripping off the Grendles left arm and Beowulf screams alot like the guy in 300 :P
