Castle sieges are the heart of Lineage 2 end-game. Winning one gives your clan a castle, tax income, clan-hall perks and serious bragging rights. Here is how a siege actually works.
Requirements
- Your clan must be level 4 or higher to register and to own a castle.
- Lower-level clans and individual members can still fight, but cannot claim the castle.
The castles (Interlude)
Five castles can be sieged: Gludio, Dion, Giran, Oren and Aden. Later chronicles add Innadril, Goddard, Rune and Schuttgart. Each runs on its own siege schedule.
Registration
- The clan leader registers as attacker or defender at the siege NPC in front of the castle before the siege begins.
- The current owner is automatically the defender.
- Registration closes once the siege is proclaimed, so sign up early.
Winning the siege
- When the siege starts, the outer gates and walls become attackable.
- Attackers push inside and destroy the doors to reach the throne room.
- An attacking clan member must engrave and take the Emperium.
- Holding the Emperium when the timer ends gives your clan the castle.
Tips
- Bring dedicated door-breakers (bows/siege golems) and a healer core for the throne room.
- Defenders should funnel attackers into choke points and reset the engrave.
- Coordinate with allies — most sieges are won by numbers and organisation, not gear alone.
Find a server with active sieges on the Lineage 2 server list, and give your siege clan a proper emblem with the crest maker.
