Walkthrough[edit]
Siegecrusher will run into the next area and stop near the entrance to the keep. He will lay down build sites for a catapult some distance away from the gate and a flame ram right at the gate. Each siege weapon will take only 5 supply to complete. The sites appear to be invulnerable until they are built, at which point they can take damage; if they are destroyed, they will not be replaced. The catapult is shielded for a time, but this won't last forever. Siegecrusher will remain near the catapult and tank enemies that approach until the gate it destroyed. After that, he will enter the keep to lead the attack on the keep's champion.
If Siegecrusher dies, the event fails, and players will either have to spend another 5 gold to recruit him again, or take the keep themselves.

Dialogue[edit]
- At start
- Champion Commander Siegecrusher: Follow me into battle.
- When laying out siege
- Champion Commander Siegecrusher: Work with me, and we'll crush them even faster.
- On success
- Champion Commander Siegecrusher: (roar) This is what I live for!
Notes[edit]
- The event is similar to Report to Commander Siegerazer, which occurs in the other WvW maps. Here, initiation is a separate event, there is no countdown or control phase, enemies you encounter will depend on the area instead of being the usual Veteran Guards, and the target is always the nearest keep.
- The Rock Dogs make attacking Arid Fortress particularly difficult, as they have great amounts of health, attack in packs, spam area knock down and damage, and turn invincible for long periods of time. It is vital to keep them away from the siege engines.
