An Uninvited Guest is the worst quest in this game so far

[cheese.9898]

It's just a flat out garbage quest.
Completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, unfun, and frustrating.

Honestly, if this is the type of quests that this game has to offer... This game clearly isn't for me (I'm hoping this is the only one like this).
It just feels like the devs tossed this quest in the game without testing it to see whether it was fair or not.

I've seen a couple strategies to cheese this quest, but none of them seem to work very well.
To add to that, I'm playing as a mage... Which seems to be the worst possible class for this quest (my magic attacks are completely useless for whatever reason, and my physical attack with the staff is far too slow... So I can't stun him at all, as some have suggested).

It seems like this quest relies entirely on luck, and I'm really not a fan of that.
Your chances of catching the thief are incredibly thin, and you pretty much just have to hope that you land a lucky grab. It feels like a complete waste of time.

I'm new to this game, so I don't have one of those, nor know how to use it.
Would you need to throw it at him, or something?

There is an alley between the shops where he initially comes in from (Dashing down the stairs), wait for him in that small alley and hit him with your melee attack (from staff) then quickly pick him up. Took me 10 seconds on first try as a sorcerer.

Go to inventory and "use". I'll send you

Pretty sure I tried that, and the attack was still far too slow to land.

Oh, you can send friends items?
Alright, well, thanks.

You just have to click "use", and he'll automatically fall asleep?

Well, I did some other stuff, and then came back to this quest:
I found the alley you spoke of (It seems I was thinking of something else), and managed to glitch the thief into a wall on my first try there, so I hit him pretty easily.

This is still definitely the worst quest in the game though...
I'm glad I managed to get lucky with that glitch, at least.

You know I never even thought about hitting him I just ran around till I was able to grab him and the quest compeleted.

Wait, is that a quest in this game?
That sounds terrible, lol

Its a side quest, just don't do it?

No?
I would only (temporarily) skip a side quest if it was too difficult (likely due to being too low level, so I would just need to come back later), this quest was just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

However, if you'd read the comments, you'd know that I DID end up completing the quest...
It's still a TERRIBLE quest though. I stand by that.

I dunno. Wait for the Thief to run towards you, attack and thus stagger him, grab, done. Works like a charm for me, always. Even on level 1.

I'm assuming you didn't play as Mage.
Archer seems to be the best for dealing with him, while Mage is the worst.
A mage's physical attack (with the staff) is far too slow to hit him. I only managed to hit him because I got him to glitch into a wall (making it impossible for him to escape).

Class makes no difference for this quest.

He always starts at the slope to the church, gives you plenty of time to get into position for an easy grab.

Line up while facing him and grab just before he reaches you, if timed right he will run right into your grab.
