The quest called "Waldensians"

[Dayve]

Can somebody give me a clue here? I've read the book 5 or 6 times and followed the directions as best I can but they lead nowhere. I start at the inn, go past the church in the direction of the rising sun (east), when I get to the first crossroad out of town I've tried going left and right and neither of these directions leads to any of the clues in the book.

Whether I go left or right I don't see any wailing widows, I don't see any houses where he could have stopped to fill his belly. I found a tiny river with two bridges - one of the bridges was crumbled, but both of the bridges led to the exact same road, so it can't be this bridge he's talking about. I see no men of straw. I see nothing, no matter which direction I take.

The directions make no sense and I don't know where to go.

I don't know how to say where it is without giving it away. There is a clearing in the middle of a small-ish wooded area. The wooded area has a barely noticeable dirt path leading to the middle of it. There is a stream and a bridge somewhat near the woods but they aren't right next to it.

I saw a stream (what the heretic called the River Jordan), and in the book he mentioned two bridges and the devil tried to tempt him to go over the right one (which is broken) but he saw through the devil's deceit and took the left one (the left one isn't broken).

There is a dirt path beyond these two bridges, and it DOES lead in to a wooded area. But he says that after crossing the river he saw men of straw (which I assume to be strawmen in a field to keep birds from pecking the crop seeds). I see no men of straw. And on the way to this river with the two bridges I saw no house where he could have filled his belly, nor any wailing widows.

I did see three beehives sticking out of the ground, which MAYBE are the teeth of the devil he was talking about (or however he describes it).

Just tell me - am I correct in going east past the church, and is the first crossroads (the one right outside of town if you go east from the church) the crossroads he is speaking about in the book?

Yeah the direction do not make sense. Just look around north east of Ushitz

Hmm, I was going south-east. That's the only place that has a damn "river" (it's more like a tiny tiny stream).

[Rancid]

Yeah, Trust me its north east, near the end of the world

[Rancid]

I went all the way to damn skalitz trying to fallow those instructions haha

Here you go the full path explained.
start at inn go past church toward the shrine/ cross then past the beehives, head towards the ruins along the road. past them you find the fishing camp. continue along the shore to the weeping willows continue to the bridges cross the bridge see follow past the strawmen till you find a clearing in the woods.

The instructions make *perfect sense*.

The men of straw are the drying racks for hay.



The beehives are the army led by the queen -
The behemoth's teeth are the ruins.
The fishing spot and weeping widow are at the lakeside, following the path further takes you to a bridge over a stream.
If you turn back at this bridge you will see there are two of them, the right one is broken, and you should take the left one (the one you just crossed over).
Pass the haystacks 'guarding' the path and enter the Waldensian congregation.

Ah, so the instructions make more sense than I thought at first. I didn't make the connection between the beehives and the queen. Hehe.

What threw me is when I found the fisherman (Peter and Andrew) I went back to the road, so I when I came to the River Jordan I went the opposite way and into the woods.

Bandits. No strawmen of course. I finally was like, "Look, Jim, straw is out in that dang field behind me. Look for straw "men" "guarding" woods."

It was challenging.

The ending, unfortunately, to me, doesn't make any sense except that Henry has a specific mission.

One of my playthroughs I'm going to murder the Vicar. Hanush can keep his wack reward. Because ♥♥♥♥ that lame ass excuse for a Christian.
