sorry to hear that. My game is for the PC so I wouldn't know much about the xbox. I'm guessing that the console is using auto-targeting? I don't know how the auto-targeting works in the xbox, does it function for the closest enemy to you or the closest enemy near the targeting reticle?
However, maybe you could use the dragon rush (dash or something) so that the balista is immediately closer to you thus for either case it should auto-target the balista.
BTW Zagan, that's the "oh bugger" last words wasn't it?
I had difficulty with that too (nightmare mode) but, the last time I played I went straight for the nest and it was manageable.
