Use the following trick to defeat the Saxon shieldmen in the last chapter. When using Arthur on foot, simply power attack a shieldman three times. He will be knocked to the ground. Finally, use your finishing attack. When using Lancelot on foot, use the A(2), X combo to destroy the shield. If the enemy does not die, attack him by pressing X. When using Bors on foot, always use the Knight's Wrath A(2), X combo. When using Tristan on foot, use Pagan's Head when using a bow or his A(2), B combo. When using Guinevere on foot, she moves very slow with melee attacks. Use Pagan's Head. When your characters are on a horse, simply concentrate on one enemy then try to run over him. That enemy will fall to the ground. Press Z to use the finishing attack. Note: You can attack with your sword while doing your finishing move on a horse.

Use your charge to break it open.

Upgrade the archery skill first to be able to shoot two arrows at one time. This makes it easier to take out archers and weaker units.

When someone is behind you on horseback, press X to have your horse kick backwards. This can break the shields or enemies.
