Walkthrough & Notes

The barricades are inside the fort of River-watch and many are defended by Dunlending Shieldbearers. Focus on the barricades, the Rohirrim will likely scatter. After destroying the barricades, summon Rohirrim allies by using the Rohirrim Banner near the entrance. At the top of the hill there is a large crowd of Dunlending Shieldbearers and Dunlending Archers, as well as Neilun. The Rohirrim soldiers can do most of the fighting. When Neilun is dead, the rest disappear, so either fight him first, or if you're up for a long fight and more xp, fight him later. More and more will appear and join the battle until their leader dies.
