More European Crusaders had arrived during the autumn, allowing Guy to blockade Acre by land.

News of the imminent arrival of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa reaches the Crusaders, which not only raises the morale of the Christian soldiers, but also compels Saladin to bring in so many more troops that he is able to surround both the city and the Crusade camp in two separate sieges.

Fifty Muslim galleys break through the Christian sea blockade on October 31 and supply the city with food and weapons.
