Head through the open gates, into a bailey courtyard where the Dun Tynne troops are fighting off Damien’s forces. Continue along the paved pathway, slicing down one confused guard, and then a group of Nazairi Bandits. Watch out as one of them is a particularly tough Iron Borg! Check the lower stepped area so you aren’t attacked from behind. If you choose not to engage the Iron Borg, and instead hide, you will later find the Borg at the Dyn Tynne main square.
Continue your merry way along the buttress-walled battlement balcony, bringing down another set of Nazairi bandit troops. To the right of the balcony, some Nazairians work to free the dogs from a burning kennel. When you reach the circular veranda, a large number of castle crossbowmen waylay you.
A little unnerved by a flock of ravens landing on the tile roof, the Dun Tynne troops are surprised as a cloud of mist descends on their forces. Unable to see, the enemy hears only the screaming of their own. When the mist clears, the entire squad of foes lies dead, the last of the troops receiving a mauling at the claws of Dettlaff and Regis, who claim they are here to help.
This solves the problem of the troops on the veranda, allowing you to push into the inner courtyard. There’s little time to admire the purple shrubbery; engage around eight mercenary bandits, watching as your vampire friends make extremely quick and short work of anyone you’re not fighting. Turn north, advancing on the keep itself; expect around a dozen more troops (including some troublesome bowmen); amid the chaos and bloodshed, your friends provide invaluable support, so check your mini-map to ensure you’re mopping up foes without racing past any. Check the formal gardens and fountain and slay any stragglers.
