Getting Charmed Humans to the Castle

[Grimm Spector]

How the heck do people manage this with anything later on in the game? They have so little health after the Kiss, and you can't transform, they always die to the most basic fights, no matter how quick you are to engage the enemies ... there's got to be some way?

[Suzaku]

Don't engage the enemies. Get on a horse and ride as fast as you can. The follower will keep up (or teleport if needed), and hopefully all of the enemies will miss the both of you on the return trip.

Anybody know if you can use waygates while leading a charmed human?

You can not.

Cave systems work, though.

Two strategies for solo:

Equip the slashers:
Run up to the enemy, do a well timed dash forward followed by slasher invisibility (and keep walking away from them). You can avoid 99% of all non boss fight this way. It takes a little while to get it down right, but practice makes perfect.

Use a horse:
Pedal to the medal

In both cases you will outrun your charmed follower and the game will spawn it in from time to time.

Of all the followers I brought home, I only ever lost 1 when using these tactics.
Even dragging someone from Brighthaven to the starter area is totally possible to do.

I basically try and kill everything around them, THEN charm them. Works MOST of the time. Then, as stated above, jump on a horse and ride like mad.

One way, if you have access to more castle hearts, is to carry around the materials to make a castle heart, a few plots of land, a prison, and a few Fat Goby fish. When you get a charmed human, put a heart down and the prison. put them inside the prison, feed them fish to heal them, then charm them back out, destroy everything and get 100% of the materials back because you did it quickly, then take them back home with 100% health.

However that only works if the server you're on allows more than 1 castle heart, and you haven't already used them all up. Also it's probably easier to do when you're planning to look for a human to charm as you need to take up inventory space with the resources. So might not be too convenient when you're just exploring/resource gathering.

If you can't do that method, then a fast horse is your best bet and try your hardest to avoid the fire throwing enemies lol

Firstly, enemies will get stronger and stronger, eventually that 30% hp is plenty to survive a few blows.

Most important is to bring a horse with the highest max speed you can find + wrangler's potions.
Charmed humans will move at your speed no matter what, so the faster the better.

Lastly is how you avoid arrows/charges. Give mobs a wide berth as you pass, then cut back into the road at the last second to dodge their attacks. If you can make them attack to the side, they will always miss your follower.

A horse is a surprise to me, thanks I'll give that a try folks.

That's a pretty interesting idea too.

Charmed humans will fight literally everything and die in milliseconds. Fighting through anything won't work, make sure the coast is clear before charming.

Fast horses are the best option, and basically the only option. Run at full speed through enemy patrols and don't stop until you reach home base.

You never know when you'll stumble upon someone worth charming, and the coast is literally never clear because things respawn quickly on the long road back to your castle.

Yeah get on your horse and haul ass and hope they dont run into some huge battle royale between different npc patrols. I once lost a 100% rogue to a huge battle between tristan, the alpha wolf, and a big bandit patrol.

Horse with high speed , wrangler potion and 100% worker blood and you ride so fast, that its hard to control staying on the path :) Since charmed humans always keep up with you they will warp most time and with that setup nobody is fast enough to threw anything at you and hit with it.
