12 Feb 2023, Super Bowl Sunday (Eagles vs Chiefs)... This approach still works and I'm playing the Xbox version recently released. I had 5 cavalry horsemen that attacked my 4 priests, but they converted it quickly enough. Achievement unlocked on my first attempt.

For anyone attempting this now: If you go further past the gates from the left side, there is a small passage which leads directly towards the cathedral. You don't have to reroll for guard/monk RNG.

I find this mission pretty cool that you can complete it conventionally, or without any unit production or conversions of anything capable of making production buildings (so in Age of Empires, that means villagers but in other games there can be multiple units that do that).

Hard is literally hard, they would attack even without attacking them and Redemption tech was needed to convert. But I was able to get the achievement. Thanks, it was helpful.

only the stationary units attack you though. If you see a group of units marching towards you - they will ignore you as they are following a movement task :p

Since you need no resources to produce units, you can transport the monks and a +1 over while researching the Dock technology to increase transport capacity, then you can get the 10 remaining units in the second trip (or wait for the research and take 10 units on the first trip but don't bother with a second). The longer you take, the more horses will be waiting at the cathedral. I had my cavalry draw some off and the other guys covered the monks long enough for it to work though.

This can be done on Hard as well! You need to convert all Crema's soldiers and send them over to wreak havoc and distract Milan though because the Onager and the Scouts on Hard will attack you without provocation

I did it on hard the way he shows it in the vid. It is entirely possible, but it takes a few try. Also, you have to distract the mangonel with your knight while keeping it out of range of enemy monks. With the time you buy with that, you can convert it. It takes a few tries, but you eventually make it.

Yeah so rushing in just doesnt work. The mangonel moves in straight away, there is no sneaking past it. The three monks will convert the knight and/or monks, there are two archers next to the range, and three light cav by the stable. The only way i managed to get it, was waiting for ALL THREE MONKS to come get the relic, and converting them, then finessing some group converts on some random perple men at arms, and moving all but one at last second so only the one monk was on cooldown, then moving the 7 monks, the knight and the 5 men at arms i got to fight off the soldiers while the monks converted the cathedral.

Very hard to do now but still doable. You use the monk getting the relic to slip in the gates then you position your monks on the far side of the wonder close to the rocks, send your knight to attack the scouts and start converting. If you do it right your knight delays all the scouts, the mangonels can't get in range and need to walk around and both the scouts/gunners path upwards instead of around the bottom right of the wonder giving just enough time.

when I did this on hard difficulty, the mangonel that you snuck past attacked me. But this is fine - just make sure the knights walk into its attack range first and then "push" it back by standing in its minimum range while the monks pass. Then distract the light cav with your knights and pray that you get a fast enough conversion. might wanna spread out the monks a bit as well because that mangonel that you pushed back earlier will return and be very angry at the monks. ^^' oh yeah ... you should definitely get sanctity because it allows the wololo bois to live a mango shot Not exactly a particularly hard achievement, but boy is it annoying because it essentially comes down to conversion RNG

@@AL-jo2vp I just did it and yes, there are no more trade carts going through those gates. It's still possible nevertheless. I first focused on transfering all my starting troops as soon as possible and placed them in front of the door with the no attack command. When I was ready I hit the door with one of my troops which triggers 1 Man-at-Arms to come to fight you. Just wait until he opens the door and place one of your units in the middle of the door, then kill the enemy. Now you just have to bring all your troops inside the city. Then head for the cathedral, split up your units to defend your monks and convert the building. I literally did it in the first try within 5 minutes.

I have done it in the hardest difficulty, it was quite tricky but it's definitely possible. To get redemption you need to gather gold with a relic. I used the one on the starting coast (it's on the south).

You can actually get the gold you need by selling at the market. You can actually pick up careening (for the extra transport space), redemption, sanctity, and atonement (for whatever good that last one will be for) with just your starting resources.
