Wolves at the door

[lecoqaveugle]

So, I just got an event quest "Wolves at the Door" where I am supposed to go and kill Vvulf even though I am not ready to face him. I read a guide about this event quest and it recommended to send 4 meatshields and immediately abandom the quest losing only one guy out of the four you really didn't need anyway.

I did exactly as it was written and the quest is still there, no weeks have passed, rooster is empty so basically, did this event quest got patched with the recent DLC and you are forced to do it anyways or am I okay to continue and ignoring it completely? Anyone knows a way I can skip it without losing building upgrades ?

Iirc, you can just skip the quest by going to do something else during the attack. But be warned that if you do "fail" the quest this way, you'll have two of your town upgrades destroyed as a penalty.

Weeks don't pass unless you do something more than simply walk into a dungeon and abandon the quest (for balance reasons) so you'll have to do something in the quest for a week to pass.

I think you just have to fight some enemies a bit or something? i've heard a lot of mixed things about what you have to do for a week to pass, and i remember the week passed when i lost a hero to vvulf's men and retreated.

Same thing. I lost a hero during retreat, but the quest is still there. Is it how it supposed to be? Do you have to actually involve in the fight? I've read that was not the case.

There are some criteria that you are required to meet in a dungeon before retreat will skip a week. I don't remember what they are specifically but the main one involves killing a certain number of enemy parties. Having a hero hit Death's Door works too. Since a hero doesn't hit Death's Door when they die from the Wolves retreat it won't pass the week.

A workaround is to just take a throwaway hero into the dungeon solo and suicide them into the first party (and maybe try to flee if they stick around on Death's Door for a bit). You still lose a hero but it will pass the week.

Thanks! I'll try that and let you know if it helped.
