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 Circle to have your horse kick backwards. This can break the shields or enemies.

Use your charge to break it open.

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 X(2), Circle combo to destroy the shield. If the enemy does not die, attack him by pressing Circle. When using Bors on foot, always use the Knight's Wrath X(2), Circle combo. When using Tristan on foot, use Pagan's Head when using a bow or his X(2), Circle 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 L2 to use the finishing attack. Note: You can attack with your sword while doing your finishing move on a horse.

Equip Gwen with one healing item (such as Bloodring). Have Arthur kill any weak enemies. Then, have him go around the corner where he is safe and let The Shaman shoot a meteor. Remember to dodge. Finally, get behind the black circle and shoot. Because you are beyond his range, he cannot hit you. If he teleports, just let him shoot a meteor and continue from there.
