Eyes of the Eldar

Master the 'Eyes of the Eldar' mission in Dawn of War II! Learn optimal strategies, essential loadouts, and how to overcome Eldar defenses with this expert walkthrough.

Alright, let's tackle the 'Eyes of the Eldar' mission. First things first, make sure you bring demo charges. Seriously, they make this whole stage way, way easier. If you've got grenades or orbital weapons too, even better! Our buddy Cyrus is also a great pick here since he can sneak in and use those explosives effectively. Keep an eye out for any supply crates you find along the way – you'll definitely want to stock up on explosives.

You'll start by engaging the Eldar forces in the immediate area. Don't be afraid to fall back to your drop pod to heal up if things get hairy, then push across the bridge to the north. Your objective is the beacon up ahead, where you'll find Ranger Nemerian. Don't worry, he's not a boss, just a regular tough enemy. Clear out all the Eldar in the area, then capture the beacon and heal up there.

With the beacon secured, you can advance across the bridge again. Try to leapfrog your units to maintain a strong offensive line while you take down the attacking Eldar. From here, you have a choice: head northwest or northeast towards another beacon. We found the direct route, pushing straight at the enemies, to be pretty effective.

Hold your ground right at the entrance of the next bridge. Wait for enemy reinforcements to arrive, then take them out. Once they're dealt with, send Cyrus in with some explosives to destroy the webway located just beyond the stairs. While he's doing that, have your other squads draw the enemy's attention. Use grenades liberally to thin their ranks. Keep a sharp eye out for any Shuriken cannons – these small tanks pack a serious punch and can easily knock your units back, so prioritize taking them out ASAP.

After you've destroyed the first gateway, you can push up onto the platform. Let your main squads keep the Eldar busy while you use grenades and demo charges on the webways. Focus on the ones further away with your demo charges. Once all four webways are down, you'll have completed the mission.
