Baron's Quest

[rompier02]

Hi. I am like scratching my head. Think this is 1 major league quest. At normal & hard mode this is very very challenging. And the reward for finishing the quest is just a recipe oil? Sorry forgot the name. I battled some local enforcement forces which rocketed my notoriety to 100%. While trying to complete the quota some other troops whacked me & the final battle was in the forest north of Stormkapp. Battle starts & my guys/gals are in a blizzard storm with the enemy leader hidden in the fog ....again. Funny though the world map shows no freaking blizzard. The enemies leader staying hidden but able to snipe my peeps. During this battle I realized that their melee units have infra vision . They straight up went to my guys in the fog. NVG/HSG included for them? Sure I got some criminal achievements & that wicked 2 H Legionnaire Hammer but the fun part sure went south faster than Chiquita Fastpaws. I enjoy hard challenges but fair. Not Hard but unfair. Further please make the end quest reward more significant. Thanks.

I usually do this when I'm confident it's not going to be a problem. When they're all Lvl 6 or higher, guards aren't really that difficult.

I guess sleeping to regain VP after a battle is the hardest part.

There are a few strange things in the game - like how the enemy can see in the fog, why Wolves/Boars/Outlaws etc leave Merchants & refugees alone, and chase only you and the guard.

I think the guard run around 4 Tacticians, and because I use 4 Spears, they're generally wasted, as I don't have too many engaged. I try and hold them in Spearwall, or kill them. You can also dissengage them with Spearmen.

If you really wanted, you could start this with 3 Prisoners, then as soon as you'd fought 3 groups of guards, just turn them in. I end up fighting Harag Guards for drops & bears later in the game, so you spend a lot of time wanted - it just becomes the norm.

sometimes it's best to wait to complete the purple quests AFTER you've upgraded as high as possible; there is no rule of thumb on having to complete ALL the purple quests since there are ways to enter all the areas WITHOUT border passes or wasting 200 krowns.
