ALternately, kill everything yourself up to the part inside the castle walls BEFORE using the lever to let the guards in!

Also, (as stated above), the goblins on the castle walls that shoot ballistas can be killed quite easily by using the ballista on the external walls (the side where the gate lever is).

Just keep in mind that they CAN destroy your ballista even if you are sitting inside it, and they fire the EXPLOSIVE bolts, so the fire damage they cause will tick away at the ballista's health.

I'd recommend using "normal" bolts, as the only way to stop their shots from hitting you is to hit them with a bolt of your own, and since two will be shooting at you (and explosive bolts take SO much longer to reload than normal ones), even if you try focusing on just one of them, you both reload at the same speed, and will just have your bolts colliding constantly lol...

This is probably also like, the ONLY place where the "secret augment" Facility from the Dark Arisen expansion could be considered even the SLIGHTEST bit useful! n.nU

ANyways, clearing out everything beforehand makes the following section With the guards LAUGHABLY easy, as the goblins spawn out of the left and right holes VERY slowly, probably because they're presuming there will still be enemies left at the time! XD
