Bandit leader AND Necromancer?

[Oni-Chan]

I just ran some 900 or so fetch X quest and when i arrived the enemy consisted of Raidrs with added slice of Necromancer and lead by a leader. I tried the fight for the fun of it and then noped out of there.

This is day 45, i cannot help but to think yet again that the game is build to have more "now you die or run away" contracts in this new DLC.

This event has been around since the base game.

I have seen one or the other, but this is the first time i see both happen at the same time, could be you are correct that it has been in the game all the while thought. One just wonders if the threath calculation has been altered somehow to make this kind of situation more likely.

Well i got that same battle with the two you mentioned above and was also surprised to see that there also were 2 Hedge Knights in the enemy camp.

Fun fight. Just by concentrating on killing the weaker mobs i managed to get a cascade morale failure and finally had the 2 hedge knights and bandit leader on the run before i even get in melee with them.

Had to pursue them with dogs just to prevent them getting away alive haha!

It was over day 100 thought...

Its kinda random, with a higher chance at higher skulls. Even then, if the reward is good and the enemies are low, best to be suspicious.
I've had 3-skull nomad contracts with relatively low numbers of nomads and nomad types that ended up with 'Twists'. 2-3k reward, Ifrits.
Or undead and a bunch of necromancers, that one was pretty fun though.

it was a camp, right?
Camps sometimes have more enemies as supposed when they are close to spawning a patrol.
My guess is the leader was part of the soon to be patrol while the necromancer was part of the contract.

If you still got a save file from that moment, do me a favor and wait 1-2 days in vision rang to the camp and wait if a patrol spawns from there and get back after that.

when you kill necros do you get better rewards post game? cause trying to kill those necro when there are bandits around is a pain in the ass, and the necro dont have good loot on him self. so..........

[Oni-Chan]

It was not a camp but open field battle, and last time i went the extra mile to kill the necromancer there was no extra reward, or even mention that the contract had been anything special.

This is linked to a quest when you have to "follow tracks and bring back blabla".
If the quest have 2 or 3 skulls you have a greater chance to meet a Necro with the bandits.

Yes, the point was there was a Necro AND bandit leader there.
