When you get there, go up the main road leading to Solitude’s main gate.

Save the game here and only then approach the large gate to commence the attack on the city.

For starters, a few words on the fights you’re about to take part in.

This battle is quite similar to the Battle for Whiterun at the beginning of the Stormcloaks campaign.

The way to the castle is blocked by a portcullis which will force you to go around.

The battle begins as soon as you enter the city (the above screen).

PC

If your character prefers close combat, you could start killing the Imperial Legion soldiers right away.

Depending on preferences, stay close either to Ulfric or Galmar, or split and fight on your own.

Instead, head for the barricade ahead (the above screen).

PC

In both cases,Imperial soldierswill be regularly running out of nearby buildings.

Once again, decide how you want to deal with it.

Enter the small war room and stop beforeLegate RikkeandGeneral Tullius(the above screen).

PC

Don’t attack the general yet, but wait until his conversation with Ulfric is over.

Of course, the conversation won’t do any good, and as result the fight begins.

As soon as the fight starts, I suggest attackingGeneral Tullius(the above screen).

PC

Now it’s time to focus onLegate Rikke.

After the fight, listen to another conversation and wait untilUlfric Stormcloakapproaches you (the above screen).
