Orcs Must Die! 3 - Mission 11 - Master's Courtyard

5-Skulling the Master's Courtyard using the Ice Amulet and our brand-spankin' new Ripsaw with Cold Damage upgrade!

You make that look easy. Going to take what you've done. Thanks!

Thanks for a fun and thurough example of a strategy for this level.

[@OldMan_PJ]

This was the most difficult map to get 5 skulls on for me. I found butterfly windows and dart traps critical for getting through the first 3 waves on this map (barricading only one side of the top of course), leaving each in place and building out all the entrances with more before starting to barricade the portal on wave 4. I also like to use the crossbow thanks to its stun ability to keep item slots free and not carry the ice amulet and mana trinket.

Yes I love how flexible this game is, allowing for an infinite variety of loadouts and setups! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more more about other people's approaches!

[@ggambidt7840]

you can just run barricades across the bottom of the main staircase (leaving 1 gap towards the side where the grinder is and run an offset barricade to push them up the down-ramp on that side.) because they can come back down the other side - meaning that there is only 1 hallway you have to defend. :) easy 5 skull. it totals 4 double barricades if placed properly (remember orcs can't get trough a place where two corners meet.)

[@alexb151]

If you put the barriers blocking off the bottom of the stairs it buys you extra time

[@denysdemianyk5236]

Depending on a map this strategy may prevent you from getting 5 starts because of finishing too late. But this is still a good approach if you straggle to complete a level.

The barrier strategy alone won us the game, thx a ton

[@Blz-ys3nr]

Thank you! My girl and I have been struggling

[@robd1329]

Maybe your not giving it hard to her

[@Phoenix22Ger]

Thank you for offering strategy how to win on this map.

[@flash3785]

Also I I have a question is there different characters in the game like unchained or is it just like beta RN

[@robertlyon]

There are more characters but we haven't fully unlocked them yet. I *think* that when you finish the game once all War Scenario playable characters become available.

[@flash3785]

Ok that's kinda weird that they did that but if you ever get more tips on tht let me know

[@jacobdickens3086]

@@flash3785 only two players available for the story. Not really that odd 😅

[@toversnoleu8769]
