Easy way:
Obviously, the trick is to avoid using the dwarf monument in the opening of the game. If you activate this monument you
will be hassled by increasing numbers of enemies which are extremely strong. The problem again is that your Avatar
does not have enough experience to withstand this kind of pressure (f.e. the dwarfs you build only have level 8).
However, there is some unexpected help in this level which makes it quite easy to do the level with your Avatar only.
Talk to Ragnar but leave the dwarf town as it is. Leave the town through the south entrance and as soon as possible go
west (to the south east you will notice a second part of the dwarf village on the east side of the road). Now go to the west
border of the map (there is a chest there, to the north). Walk southwards until you reach the south border. Expect some
enemies and slay them, one by one if possible because they may be pretty strong compared to your Avatar.
If you go eastward in the south of the map you will find a bunch of skeletons, level 27. There is no way to beat them, but
fortunately beating this horde is not necessary to complete the level. The trick is to reach the centre of the map without
activating this horde of skeletons. Go back to the road that goes south from the village. Now try to sneak to the east side
of the road without getting noticed by the enemies that are marching between the north and south part of the dwarf
village. You can handle a few of them but you should avoid being noticed by a group that is too large.
Meanwhile, enemies will gather in the dwarf village, and all buildings will have been destroyed. This seems an
impossible hurdle to ever win back the village later in the game, but the trick is to involve King Ragnar in the fight, and
he will slay all enemies for you. Talk to Ragnar. He will predict more enemies and he will inform you about Uram (the
lonely dwarf to the north). Leave the dwarf village again and go to find Uram. Follow the road to the south and before
reaching the south part of the dwarf village go east. No go to the north east slowly until you reach a small camp. You
could try to slay these enemies with your Avatar by luring them away from the camp one by one. However, the best way
is to run through the camp to the east (you will be followed of course). To the north east of the settlement you will find a
dwarf statue. It will send out flairs that will easily kill your enemies one by one. By luring your enemies here, you can
easily destroy their settlement without getting killed (you will notice that there are three of these statues in total; they will
be used again later in the game). If you go north of the dwarf statue, you will find a lonely dwarf; it is Uram. He will help
you to complete the second part of this campaign. Make sure to inspect the chest; it holds a rune.
Follow Uram to the south. He will go to the level 27 skeletons you met earlier. Protect Uram from enemies and he will
blow up some rocks which make it impossible for enemies to reach the dwarf village from the south. Now the time has
come to activate the dwarf monument. Go back to the village, activate the monument and the bind stone and then move
your Avatar to the dwarf statue in the centre of the map. Your enemies will take this route to go to the dwarf village.
However, the statue(s) will kill them. But if you do not protect the statues they will be destroyed after a while, and then
your village is in big trouble again. Your Avatar is strong enough to withhold all enemies with the help of the statue.
Build up the village again (remember to also use the south part of the village which has iron and moonsilver). Build a
strong army of dwarfs (I like the defenders and elites) and then proceed to the south-eastern part of the map. There are
several hordes of zombies, skeletons and death spirits. Your army should easily overcome all these barriers (make sure
to inspect all the chests).
Final part of the campaign:
After building up a strong dwarf army, move to the south east of the map through the center. East and south
of the second dwarf statue you will find two chests to inspect. Further south you will meet strong resistance
but you will need to destroy most of them. First there is a camp of slurpers; destroy it but be sure to leave
the level 27 skeletons behind it alone; they are far too strong. Net there is a camp of skeletons; destroy it.
You will also see some troops standing in two lines. Take them head on or use the dwarf statue behind
them. You can get behind the enemy lines by moving a bit further east after the skeleton camp. There is a
path north there. Simply lure the skeletons and slurpers to the statue and the statue will kill them for you.
Behind the statue is a bridge to an area where you will find a bindstone and a dwarf monument. Activate it to
replenish your forces in the upcoming fight. There is also a chest which you should inspect!.
Now go back to the skeleton camp you just destroyed. Further east you will meet Gorg, the giant who holds
the dwarf Windjalf prisoner. He is strong, but not nearly strong enough to withstand a large bunch of dwarfs.
Beware, he will summon 2 giants twice to help him. It will take some planning here to focus on the helpers
before killing Gorg but all in all you should have no particular problems with about 70 or 80 dwarfs to help
you out.
Once Gorg is killed, inspect all he bodies, go into the cave, free Windjalf and be sure to inspect the chest for
the last part of the blade soldier. Escort Windjalf back to the village and beware of wolfs that may attack him.
Talk to Windjalf and receive the Firebane (a magic scroll).
Note:
The level 27 skeletons are still living. At this point there is no way to beat them. You might want to come
back later when your Avatar is much (very much) stronger and when you can build much stronger dwarfs to
help you.
