After rescuing Pyre Fierceshot’s warband, it’s now time to free the captured soldiers of the Ebon Vanguard. They are being held inside a heavily fortified Charr stronghold in Sacnoth Valley, where they are about to be sacrificed to the Charr’s false gods.

Outside the stronghold you’ll find two Siege Devourers, each guarded by Charr forces.

Defeat the Charr surrounding each Devourer to claim control of them.
Once captured, use the Devourers to bombard the Charr Rangers on the cliffs or near the gate.
Be aware that the Charr will periodically send groups to try and recapture the Devourers.

To manage this effectively, I positioned my team roughly between the two Devourers, just outside the Rangers’ attack range on the cliffs. This allowed me to respond quickly to threats coming from either side without being pressured constantly.


After some time, an armored Saurus will appear and begin moving toward the gate to breach it. Keeping this Saurus alive is crucial.

To protect it, I equipped Olias with Life Bond and Protective Bond, which I manually cast on the Saurus as it advanced.
Make sure these skills are disabled for automatic hero use by holding Shift and clicking the skills in the hero panel — a red circle will appear, indicating manual control.

If the Saurus is killed before reaching the gate, don’t panic. Simply wait until the next one spawns and try again.


Once the gate is breached, Charr respawns outside the stronghold will stop. From here, you can methodically clear the remaining enemies within the fortress.

Exercise restraint when approaching the stairs leading up to the Ceremonial Center. Leave your team at the bottom of the stairs and approach the enemy above cautiously. When the enemy hierarch Hierophant Burntsoul releases the Destroyers, retreat back to your team and allow the Charr and Destroyers to fight each other first.

Once the dust settles, clean up the remaining enemies to complete the mission safely.
