Removing all skulls from bandit camp?

[DaLagga]

Is it possible to remove all the skulls? I've gotten the one in Tiltren down to 1 skull but can't find another group to kill to remove their last reinforcements.

I couldn't even find a bandit to remove one skull. I felt like it's a waste of time wondering around so I just attacked the camp.

Yeah i'm guessing they're the skeleton head groups walking around the zone so they won't be at the same spot all the time

one is a group roaming on the map, the two other are tower you need to clean ^^

Which towers exactly? I think I cleared most everything else in Tiltren.

If you cleared everything you're probably missing the roaming bandits, they are in a forest next to a lake in the middle of the region

hey i have the same problem
i am not able to clear the last skull from that bandit camp
i cleared the entire map (exhept the bandit camp)
and i killed a raiding party with a skull attached to them close to the wood cutter camp
i also killed every other bandit party i came across
there are no bandit partys anymore on that map

i can't realy take on the bandit camp
because the moment the reinforcements arrive a bunch of my companions flee the field without taking any damage before
and me not beeing able to position my units together

The bandit groups associated with the bandit camp skulls can be literally anywhere on the map. You can only really get them all by chance and usually it's the last one that's the bugger to find. It would cost a fortune in food and wages to try to systematically hunt them down.

So this playthrough I've done them all with one skull left live. The effect of this is that the remaining skull manifests as reinforcements on turn 2 during the camp assault. On region locked I get 11 or 12 bandits to start with and then 11 or 12 more arrive turn 2. Since I've usually killed about half of the first batch on turn one at start of turn 2 there's usually a total of 16 or 17 remaining, but the 12 reinforcement start on the edge of the map so it's not as bad as it seems on paper.

I'd rate "one skull" bandit camp battles as pretty good fun, better than the average battle.

You can't clear all the skulls, I think. Every bandit lair has at least 1 skull on it. But I don't think these skull patrols respawn, so when you see one, kill one. It will make your bandit lair quest easier.

1 skull is easy compared to 2 skulls anyway. I attacked a 0 skull before but that was long ago in EA. Not even sure how I got it to 0 skull at the time, might even be I remembered it wrong as I was a noob at the time.

I think this quest is bugged, at least in Tiltren.
I've eliminated all the "external" bandit groups (the two towers and the one in the forest), and the Tiltren camp reads as three skulls, and I've even gone back to see if they've regenerated. (They haven't.) Pretty sure that's NOT how it's supposed to work.

There are always 3 skulls displayed, but as you defeat bandit groups more of them will become lighter and somewhat transparent. So either your game is bugged, or what you're seeing are 3 transparent skulls which means that there are effectively no skulls in effect.

Try attacking the camp to see if it says there will be reinforcements during the battle. If not, then there are no actual skulls and you're safe to attack.

I had 0 skulls in Tiltren, but a little later it was 1 skull again... Idk :D I killed 2 bandit lairs with 0 skulls, the rest with 1 skull. If you are higher level (even in adaptive mode) you have enough options to kill the camp with 1 skull.

I think they are inside the camp and you have to wait for them to randomly leave.
