The first section serves as a form of tutorial. As such, the combat ahead is easy compared to what you'll normally face. Enter into the Legion mansion and explore the burning ruins. There are a few chests and weapon stands that contain new armor and weapons that will allow you to upgrade your equipment.

Fight through the small waves of mercenaries and you will eventually meet fellow surviving Legionnaire Marten Guiscard. He will help you fight through a few more enemies and act as a frontline tank. If you're using a ranged based character, feel free to stand back and let Marten take the brunt of the pain.

The armored knight will eventually lead you down to the basement where you may set a trap for the mercenaries. Light the three explosive barrels along the bridge and a cutscene will play. This will cut off the enemy's path and allow you and Marten to escape the mansion.

Once in the clear, speak to Marten to find out just what prompted the attack. With his information, head down the road ahead and take the bridge leading to the next Legion safe house.

You'll encounter one of the mercenaries' captains, Bogdan. If you haven't already, this is a good time to get used to building focus and using abilities. Attack the smaller enemies with normal attacks and launch your stronger abilities at Bogdan. Which ability works best differs on your character; Katarina's Heartseeking Shot does loads of damage, as does Lucas' Bladedash. Either way, Bogdan is just the first boss fight, so he shouldn't be much of a challenge.

After the fight, head into the building ahead and talk to Odo. He will thank you and let you know of some other survivors. Depending on your character, he may mention finding Lucas or Anjali next. Additionally, he will advise you to head to the nearby town of Raven's Rill.
