Second Battle of Fort Fisher

**Fort Fisher** is the fourth mission in the Union side of the game *The History Channel: Civil War – A Nation Divided.*

## Walkthrough

You begin on the beach after apparently exiting a boat from coastal ships.
You are instructed by your commanding officer to secure the landing zone and
then meet at a breach in the wall for further orders.

CURRENT OBJECTIVE:
- Meet with the soldier near the wall breach.

You begin on the beach behind a wooden wall where your troops are firing at
nothing apparently. The smoke and dirt flying from cannon blasts is rather
thick here. Move to the side of the fence and carefully scan for the one or
two Confederate troops that are at the next wall then kill them. It's clear
to move once your fellow soldiers move.

Move up towards the next wall, but go along the water on the beach because
several Rebels will appear from around the wall, the fence to the right of
the rocks on the right, and from behind the rocks themselves.

Just approach and fall back to a spot where you won't take too much damage
such as the wooden fence where you started. You need to take out the troops
on the wall to safely move to the next wall...more or less safely. Troops
will continue to respawn on the right side of the map. This is a good spot
to rack up kills for your achievements and mission end score as well.

Once the wall troops are killed, move along the beach and water on the left
of the map. Again, as with that first wall, troops will appear at every
breach in the second wall as you approach. Move up until you see them and
quickly fall back to the previous wall to safely fire on the soldiers.

As your fellow soldiers die along the wall, you can replenish ammo as well as
pick up new weapons. A Colt Rifle is a fine addition into your arsenal as it
packs a good punch.

Kill the soldiers at the second wall and then advance up to it. Approach the
mostly intact third wall and be cautious of the troops that will run out of
the opening as you get close to it. A good way past this with your health
intact is to throw a grenade and approach the wall. That way, the troops die
from the blast as they spawn. Also, the troops die fairly quickly from gun
fire from your troops, but they can still easily take off a star of health.

Pass through the opening and then quickly go back through it. A line of enemy
troops are lined up to the right and will fire once you walk through. The
soldier from earlier will tell you that the attack is a feint and that you
need to follow him through the swamps.

CURRENT OBJECTIVE:
- Follow the soldier to the swamp meeting point.

Kill the soldiers and then follow your fellow Union man across the beach.
Approach the barricade and just wait there. A group of soldiers will run down
the hill and take of defensive positions. You got to kill them all to safely
move along the path.

Go past the burning wall up the soldier from before. He will inform you
that he has been hit and it is now all up to you. He will give you some
explosives just incase and will tell you to blow up the cannon emplacements.

CURRENT OBJECTIVE:
- Use the explosive charges to destroy the cannons.

Grab the ammo, grenades, and med-kits from behind the soldier and walk to the
left side of the swamp. As you come up to some wooden planks on the ground,
two Confederates will appear out of the swamp brush.

Kill them and continue down the path towards the burning wagon. Run to the
wall on the left because at least three soldiers will emerge from the brush.
If only two appear, be careful as the other one might still be hidden by the
plants to the right.

As you round the burning wagon, another three soldiers will ambush you. So,
quickly duck behind the wagon and take them out. As you walk up to those
three soldiers, another three appear and again when you approach those bodies,
three more appear from behind the wall in front of you. The best thing is to
throw a grenade ahead of you as you approach the bodies. This will kill them
while you keep your health. For the last guys, run up to the barricade and
they will be in the open while you have cover.

At the fork in the swamp, again, choose the left path and as you approach the
bend after going left, another three soldiers appear. So grenade or shoot
them up as you head there.

When you make the turn, you will find a tree with two ammo boxes at the base
of its trunk. Walk up to the ammo boxes and look to the left. Walk forward
to pass through the tall grass here and onto a path of wooden planks.

Run up to the wall on the left and take cover as three or so troops will emerge
from the brush and attack. You will be unable to shoot over the wall even
though it may seem like you can. Your shots will go straight into the wall and
ruin your accuracy.

Once those troops are taken care of, continue down the path past the second
wall on the right and you should soon see a small building above the brush.

Continue forward to a clearing where four soldiers run out of this building to
shoot you. Kill all four and proceed into the structure. Turn to the right
of the door to find a white square in the corner. Go to it and press the
A Button to find the hidden picture of Fort Fisher.

After entering the building, quickly turn around as another four soldiers will
attempt to ambush you. You got to take them out and then face the wall
opposite of the door. There will be another four soldiers out there in the
water and brush. Use the smoke to find the soldiers in the grass.

Kill everyone and then exit the building and return to the tree with the ammo
boxes. Once at the tree, go to the ammo boxes and look at the tree. Go to
the right of the tree and continue along the path around it. Once around the
tree, more soldiers to kill will appear from the brush. There will be a
med-kit and grenades here to pick up as well if needed.

Run down the left side of this path to avoid cannon fire. No enemies should
appear as you killed them when you were getting the picture in this mission.

Round the bend in the path and follow it until you see a small clearing with
some wood planks on your left. This area is where another three soldiers
will ambush you. There is no cover here to hide behind, so it's a straight
on gun fight.

If you go left, you will see some ammo and a med-kit on the path at a bend.
When you get close, four troops will run out from the bushes and shoot at
you. Thankfully, you will get some back up, but you can quickly loose two or
three stars.

Once they are dead, grab the ammo and health if needed and head left again
around the corner and quickly duck and crawl behind the barricade.

Take out the soldiers down the way from here and then move on to the next
barricade where more soldiers will spawn in front of you. So, kill them and
then move from barricade to barricade avoiding the cannon fire from the fort.

You will come to a wooden gate which needs you to plant some explosive charges
there. So walk up to the red transparent barrel and press the A Button and
move away a far distance. Let the barrel and gate explode and move to the
right of the gate.

Peek into this area and take out the four to five soldiers who are there.
Once they are dead, grab the med-kit to the left of the gate if need be and
move on through the destroyed gate.

Walk down the path and grab any med-kits and rifle ammo from the two holes
in the walls on the left and continue down the path and enter the third hole.

Down the path, through the tunnel, three soldiers position themselves in
defensive areas to stop you. Kill them and then walk through the tunnel and
run past where they were and turn up the hill to the right. Run up to the
next barricade and wait for three soldiers to appear and shoot them.

Run past where they were and turn the corner and continue along the path and
move past a burning wagon to find a lot of cannons, barrels, and a tunnel.

Enter the tunnel and go through it to find a cannon and its crew. Kill the
crew and then plant the explosives where it is designated to go and enter the
next tunnel.

When you turn the corner in this tunnel, you will find another cannon crew and
four soldiers charging at you. Take cover and kill all six men in this area.
Once that is done, you will need to plant the explosives at the marked place.
Once planted, make your way into the next tunnel to avoid the blast.

You can obtain a Sharps musket from any of the cannon soldiers for your
information.

Again, you will find a cannon crew and at least one soldier behind the crates
to the rears of the cannon crew. At the end of the next tunnel will be two or
three soldiers firing at you. Take them and the cannon crew out then plant the
explosives.

Move into the last tunnel and kill the cannon crew then plant the explosives.

Remove yourself from the area and when the cannons explode, the game fades to
black marking the end of the Fort Fisher mission.
