Quest: Find the Bandit Seeress. Boast: Spare Bandits

[Tyranocif]

The boast is to complete the quest without killing a single bandit.

The Fable Wikia[fable.wikia.com] says to hire bodyguards and bring them to the Guildmaster, who "will then say that your bodyguard is now magically protected. Run around the bandit camp and let the bandits attack you and your bodyguard." Can anyone confirm whether or not this works? I don't think that it works after trying it as I still need to stealth around them at Clifftop Path.

What does the boast say exactly? Because it could be referring to one specific bandit?

[Tyranocif]

No - the quest flat-out says to not kill a single bandit and I can't even get past the part when I need to sneak around them, let alone follow the combat path to the bandit camp.

it is pretty easy tbh. combat path is doable by spamming "Slow Time" + "Physical Shield". in the camp there are non-lethal options.
u can do it without will spells too but u need to dodge a lot and picking good timings to open the chests.

Well I am having trouble sneaking past at Clifftop Path and I'm not sure if it's because of my Oakvale bodyguard or not. If he kills a bandit, I don't lose my boast. Is any of that stuff about talking to the Guildmaster before the quest legitimate or is it just some untested rumor posted online?

Well sneaking by them is a chore, but that's the hardest part when it comes to sparring them. After the sneaking part, just run along the path and open all the chests along the way to get the full bandit outfit (Slow Time could work wonders here). Once you're in the first camp easy to get the oass if you have the gold or patience for that gamlbing game.
Hire the body-guard, take him with you to the next area. Once you're in the next area attack the one bandit who has the girls locked up (you don't have to kill any bandit, didn't say anything about damaging tho). Just keep blocking and let bodyguard handle him. At this point you can keep the body guard or dismiss him, not sure if he'll be much help against Twinblade.

Easy

I can't do it! I can't sneak past them with this bodyguard with me! He just runs in and screams "ATTACKING" blowing my cover everytime! If I tell him to wait, then maybe he'll follow me after I pass into this non-stealth area alone. Let me give this another try...

[Tyranocif]

Oh that's just great. I can't even ask him to wait! ♥♥♥♥...not going to be able to get this Spare Bandits boast I think. Any hints as to Clifftop Path's stealth run?

[Tyranocif]

I got caught first, then ran to the other side here to shove both myself and Jol behind this rock like so, but this doesn't work because the third guard will always notice me despite my Rank 5/7 Guile. Any suggestions for this Clifftop Path stealth run?

I DID IT! It was stupidly hard, but I did it! I think that this rock-hiding spot helped because I was hidden for enough time to sprint out to the gate right after casting the Time spell. Right after entering the next area, it was a combination of the Magical Shield spell, precise rolling, and chugging mana potions to reach Twinblade's camp with all 5 pieces of bandit clothing!

Slow time 2, force push 3, lots of mana helped me to get in the camp avoiding damage and without killling a single bandit. Just don't forget to use mana potions, keep in mind cooldowns of xbowers, and push big parties of bandits with swords in their hands when you're about to open a chest OR run near them. Not that hard at all.
