ANCIENT RUINS [0307]

Guide your hero through the Ancient Ruins in Asgard's Wrath 2. Learn how to defeat the mighty Champion, secure the Battle Horn, and prepare for the battle at the Gorge.

Alright, so you've made some serious progress! You've allied with the army at the Ancient Ruins, which is awesome. This means you've got enough power to head into the Gorge. But before we dive into that big battle, we've got one more crucial item to grab: the Battle Horn.

If you've been collecting Mead, now's a good time to head back to Brighthelm and trade it in for Gold. Also, make sure you've picked up Health Advance Stage 1 if you haven't already – it's a lifesaver. Once you're all set, use the Leystone to warp to Hilltop Farm. From there, just head forward, and you'll enter a place called Slaterdale.

SLATERDALE

As soon as you enter Slaterdale, keep moving forward, to the right of the Hilltop Farm Leystone. You'll spot a massive warrior heading your way – get ready, this guy is a Champion, and he hits hard with that huge blade. Before you even think about fighting him, take down all the smaller Legion enemies first. They're much easier to deal with and will only get in your way.

Once it's just you and the Champion, focus on dodging his sword attacks. He's got a few, but the most important one to watch out for is when he slams his sword down in front of him. If you successfully dodge this, his sword will get stuck in the ground for a moment. This is your golden opportunity! When you see the symbol appear over his head, press [B] to tackle him. Then, just mash [A] to stab him repeatedly until he's down for the count.

Defeating the Champion is a big win! You'll get the Battle Horn, a Skirmish Key, and a Dragon Rune. With these, you're cleared to enter the Gorge. But first, let's head back to Brighthelm one last time. Sell any extra Mead you're carrying and top off your health. When you're absolutely ready, select the Gorge on your map and press [A] to enter.
