This guide provides tips and tricks on how to beat chapter #10 Nermoster of the Cross of Vidar story on difficulty setting EXTREME. Introduction Many people in steam discussions claim, that chapter #10 Nermoster of the Cross of Vidar story is bugged (since ~02/2023). Actually it is not bugged, it is just difficult, extremely difficult (as the difficulty setting states). On normal setting the chapter is rather easy. On EXTREME setting, phase 2 after liberating all shores spawns 2 Draconic Jötuns with a small fellowship for each of the 4 gates of muspell located on the map. Thes waves walk towards your liberated shores and those cannot stand the attack at all. If one wave reaches on of your shores unharmed, you have lost. And on top these waves spawn VERY frequently. Here are some tips on how to beat it on EXTREME. It is a lot of fun challenging this chapter and finding a way to beat it. So I recommend to first try on your on and be creative. Once you don't make any progress any more and only want to smash your computer into pieces and never play Northgard again due to this damn chapter 10 - take a look at this guide. Hope it helps ;-) Phase 1 - Liberating shores In the first phase you need to liberate 3 shores from occupying enemy troops. You will receive reinforcements regularly to grow your army. Other enemy zones spawn waves regulary to attack your liberated shores. Use your troops with micromanagement, retreat wounded units and heal them regularly in your liberated shores. (Healing is super fast in this chapter) Make sure to avoid loosing any troops - you will desperately need them later on. Spam the hero abilites (Light of Idavoll / Ice Sword) during fights and REMEMBER to upgrade the skills once enough experience is available (I only noticed this has to be done manually at the end of the chapter...) Take out one enemy zone at a time, liberate the shore last. Liberate the shore only after all other enemy zones have been cleared - otherwise you will end up with too many enemy zones when liberating the next shore. When liberating a shore, clear all troops and damage the tower to be burning, but retreat before it is finished and the zone is captured. Send your troops back to an already liberated shore, heal them, position them at the front to the next story section and use one unit to finally liberate the cleared shore. This way you start into the battle for the next shore with fully healed units.Especially when liberating the 3rd (last) shore, make sure you HEAL your units (see hint 6.). Also make sure to upgrade all hero skills if enough experience is available. Especiall Wrath of Vali (Blood sword) should be available now and at least on level 2 (one star). Finally liberate the last shore and move on to phase 2 with a fully healed army. Phase 2 - Gates of Muspell This is the hardest phase of all 4 phases - and seen as bugged / unbeatable in some discussions on steam. TL;DR - Summary phase 2 Wrath of Vali (Blood sword) is key, just ignore Light of Idavoll (Frost Sword) Cluster waves together with micromanagement move Take out clustered waves with AOE damage Approach and take out each gate one by one Heal between waves The situationNew areas are revealed after liberating the 3rd shore with 4 Gates of Muspell zones and one final shore to be liberated. Each zone will send 2 Draconic Jötuns and a small fellowship towards your liberated shores. The shores cannot defend themselves and will be conquered by one wave only, so we need to support them / stop the waves before. Normal vs EXTREME difficultyOn normal difficulty you can directly rush the shore and enter phase 3. On EXTREME difficulty you will have to clear each and every single gate (see quick and lucky way for an alternative) to reach the shore zone and you will be busy for the next ~5 minutes every single second with alot of micromanagement. How to start phase 2You will start phase 2 with a fully healed army (if not re-check the hints to phase 1). Make sure to send Hildegard to support Liv and her shore directly. Wait until all units of the wave approaching from the western gate reached the shore and use Wrath of Vali (Blood sword) to kill it quickly using the heavy area of effect (AOE) damage. Meanwhile (yes in parallel to the fight in Liv's shore) move a part of your army (at least one unit) two zones east of Liv's shore (south-east of the western gate, at the entry of the "mountain valley"). All waves from the other gates will pass through this zone on their way to the other shores. How to cluster wavesYou will use the following micromanagement move to stop them in this zone and cluster them together. Micromanagement Once a wave of enemy units enters a zone with one of your units present, they will attack it. If you move your unit out of the zone before it is killed, the enemies will "celebrate" their "victory" with a short animation (~1.5sec). Make abundant use of it by moving in - out - in - out - ... - out of the zone until all incoming waves reached the zone and are ideally clustered all together. Now send the rest of your army in, especially with Hildegard and use Wrath of Vali (Blood sword). You will kill the wave rather quickly with the AOE damage, hence key is to have all waves clustered together. Enemy units celebration

敌方单位聚集

（注意：在此截图中已有部分单位逃至下一区域，请尽量避免这种情况；-））使用范围攻击击杀的敌方单位

注意截图中英雄技能上的绿色向上箭头了吗？你需要点击它们来手动升级技能。正如我之前提到的，我直到章节末尾才意识到这一点，结果一直用着1级技能战斗…… 第一波之后——快速且需要运气你可以尝试这种快速且需要运气的方法——在消灭第一波敌人后，尝试冲向东南方的大门，然后立即前往最终海岸。这对我来说在运气好的情况下是有效的，因为你必须在任何防守海岸的英雄死亡之前占领最后一个海岸。一旦最终海岸被占领，会立即触发过场动画并结束第二阶段，你无需再防守海岸了。值得一试！第一波敌人过后——漫长的征程——关闭第一道门你会在第一波战斗中损失一些单位，但问题不大，毕竟只有希尔德加德（群体伤害）是关键单位，其他单位主要负责抗伤害。第一波战斗结束后，迅速前往莉芙海岸北边的第一道门并将其摧毁，同样使用具有群体伤害的“瓦利之怒（血剑技能）”。关闭第一道门后你会获得援军，尤其是一名盖恩特冠军（不错的坦克，但速度较慢），以及其他一些部队，用于关闭后续的每一道门。关闭第一道门后别想着休息。正如我之前所说，你每一秒都会很忙，新的一波敌人很快就会出现（2-5秒内）。将你的（受伤的）军队移回莉芙海岸进行治疗。同时，再次运用微操技巧，至少调动一个单位至上次主战场东北方向的山谷区域。所有波次的敌人仍会经过这里，通过反复进出该区域来阻挡并聚集敌人。其余部队会快速恢复生命值，命令它们移动到聚集敌人的相邻区域。待所有敌人聚集完毕后，调动军队（利用新增的坦克单位）进入，并使用希尔德加德的范围攻击技能消灭所有敌人。关闭其他城门：重复此流程（军队返回治疗，单个单位阻挡敌人波次），逐个区域推进，直至距离下一个城门仅剩一个区域。消灭当前波次的敌人（使用范围攻击）后，立即清理下一个城门。将你的军队撤回治疗，然后再次阻挡下一波敌人接近下一个城门。有时将两波敌人聚集在一起是有意义的，这样在消灭聚集的敌人后，你将有最多的时间关闭城门。随着剩余开放城门的减少，敌人的波次规模会变小，这个操作会越来越容易。你总会损失部队（除非你是微操之神）——我最后只剩下4个巨人和希尔德加德来防守最后一个海岸，这已经足够了（坦克和一个范围伤害输出）。完成第二阶段：最终清理最后一个海岸。记住第一阶段的提示6，确保你的英雄在进入第三阶段前已恢复生命值。第三阶段 - 狼群之潮最艰难的部分已经结束了。第三阶段相当简单——即使在极限难度下也是如此。源源不断的狼会生成并向你袭来。控制你的英雄前往最终区域。通过连续释放英雄技能击杀狼群，才能进入下一个区域。注意躲避闪电。保持移动。你能做到的。第四阶段 - 芬里尔第四阶段是希尔德加德与芬里尔的一对一战斗。但你可以使用其他英雄的技能。这场战斗可能需要一些时间，但过程相当直接。频繁使用【瓦利之怒（血剑）】攻击芬里尔。当大量闪电来袭时使用护盾。使用【伊达沃尔之光（霜剑）】对付狼群，因为即使不主动攻击，它们也会快速失去生命值。如果生命值较低，退到外围区域并使用治疗技能。你能做到的。恭喜你，你现在已经在【极限】难度下击败了《Vidar之十字》的第十章“Nermoster”。
