Crown Siege Guide
Crown Siege: Blockers, Map Gates, and Achievements
Wooden Wall gear check, Overgrowth Road crown farm, Trojan Horse, golem and cheese achievements — where I retreated and came back.
Last updated: October 12, 2026
Quick Answer
Skip Wooden Wall until Astral Beam; farm Overgrowth Road crown; Trojan Horse needs manual targeting and gives no crown; golem and tower fire-arrow achievements called out below.
Difficulty spikes, map gates, and achievements that made me leave and return — open this when the hub sends you elsewhere or an achievement never popped.

Wooden Wall (too strong early)
I tried this too early and got flattened — that is normal.
| Situation | What I did |
|---|---|
| First try | Troops overwhelmed — retreat. |
| Come back later | Clear Overgrowth Road for a crown, unlock Astral Beam. |
| Retry | Spawn many troops; use hero attacks to blast enemies quickly. |
Early wipe is not a wrong route — I farmed a crown on Overgrowth Road and bought Astral Beam before the second attempt.
Overgrowth Road (crown farm)
- Travel to Overgrowth Road on the map.
- Defeat the boss to earn a crown.
- Spend crown on Astral Beam in skill tree.
Farmlands lion (extra crown)
South farmlands lion boss — another crown pick when you need Astral Beam or other crown spends and Overgrowth is done.
Boulder gate
- Boulder blocks path — I could not clear it yet; come back with a tankier unit.
- Tank unlock requires corn and can be placed anywhere.
Swamp map gate
- Swamp area requires pedals to unlock.
- Farm pedals from swamp enemies; spend on auto gold pickup when available.
Trojan Horse
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Unlock cost | Three crowns. |
| Combat | Troops will not attack until directed — deploy knights manually. |
| Reward | Achievement unlocked on defeat. |
| Crown count | Does not award a crown — still at three crowns after. |
Golem achievement
Obsidian River — big rock monster.
| Part | Detail |
|---|---|
| Fight | Drop spells on multiple golems. |
| Achievement | Defeat big rock monster to unlock achievement. |
Cheese achievement (tower fire arrows)
- Tower fire arrows achievement — I grabbed it by unlocking tower fire arrows on the tree when sparks were available.
- Same spark line pays for fire damage on the tower.
Forest Cave (no upgrades)
- No upgrades available when I first walked in — I bailed, leveled at the settlement, then returned.
Sea rats (optional power spike)
- Go toward the sea; massive rats are unexpectedly strong.
- Consider banner invisibility or Tesla tower before pushing.
When to farm instead of push
I backtracked a lot for crowns, XP, or embers:
| Goal | Where I went |
|---|---|
| Crown | Overgrowth Road, farmlands lion boss, chunky mosquito fight. |
| XP | Settlement grinding. |
| Embers | Firelands return trips. |
| Corn | Farm south. |
