Sell Extra Runes

Hints

Sell runes you don't want or need, especially if you have extras.

Stealth vs Running

Hints

Stealth is useful in some situations, but for regular travel, you shouldn't be afraid to run and attract attention. Your pursuers won't stick around for any missions you start, and they won't chase you forever. However, if you're having trouble with enemies blocking your path or just clustering in a large group where you need to go, try to pull them away by launching a power struggle between them and another group.

Gain from Death

Hints

Your death comes with a price: the enemy armies will grow in power. Use this to your advantage when you're targeting specific enemies, either ones you intend to kill so they drop higher level runes, or ones you intend to dominate so they are more effective as allies.

Warchief Bodyguards

Hints

A Warchief's bodyguards can stand between you and victory. Kill them in your early missions, and dominate them later on.

Use Intel Effectively

Hints

Intel can greatly help you. It will be displayed on the mini-map. You should find and use it whenever possible.

Use Combos Effectively

Hints

If you're fighting one enemy, you can unleash a combo sword move by stunning it and then attacking repeatedly.

Glitch During Clear the Skies

Glitches

During the mission to take out ten archers without alerting the stronghold, there are two archers near the front gate, but they are not quite near the overhang for ledge kills and will highlight red as you move about.

If you press the execute key while moving and it takes that archer down you will get locked in the wall, on a ledge you can not move on, drop from or climb up on.

It happened to me twice and on my third attempt (I had to restart the mission) I just went to the other smaller part of the stronghold to the right of where you start (smaller rectangular building across a chasm and/or bridge).

Fight a Warchief First

Hints

You shouldn't rush off in search of side missions until you've fought one Warchief. By that point, you've gone through enough of the story to have unlocked everything you need to begin playing at your own pace.
