Night Raid: How to Succeed

[DaRayRay]

I see many people have an issue completing this mission. First you need low noise and black colour armor so the enemy can't see you as well. I did this in full plate, albeit with about 23 Noise and less than 50 visibility.
You only have to subdue the 2 guards on the left once you get up on the wall, for the rest you just have to follow Lord Capon until you get to the house where you need to go inside and speak with the villagers. Next you need to get Yourself and Capon out of there, because you can't go into the castle where all the men are supposed to be. Even if you kill all the soldiers, the captives you're looking for ARE NOT THERE. You're meant to fail this mission and continue with the following mission you receive after this.
I hope this helps some of you.

Ok, and how do you get hans out of there surrounded by ten people who stand there the moment the loading screen is gone? Please explain this.

[DaRayRay]

Kill them? Hans won't die as far as I have tried to let him die in this phase. You run around and attempt to kill them as well as you can, nothing else to do. At the time I had a good longsword and very decent armor so this wasn't a problem for me. I didn't join the mission in BS silent clothes as my perks permitted me to have full plate armor and little noise, also dark armor helps, buying a black gambeson and hood will make you less visible.

He bleeds out eventually. I even switched to plate armor in the hostage room in a different attempt, but didnt make it out of the mob and got butchered. Just bad game design.

[DaRayRay]

Dunno about that. I had no problem whatsoever getting past. Improve your combat skills and maybe u'll be fine. Not just your in game stats, but your ability to handle the combat system and quickly finish off an enemy, it requires some getting used to, but you can do it.

I dont feel like I have real issues with that, but it is hard to fight 10 opponents at once, to the point that the only real way is to funnel them, which takes too long. Oh well, just failed it on purpose, no point in wasting another 2 hourse on that buggy mess.

Thanks for your help.

"but your ability to handle the combat system and quickly finish off an enemy"

please stop talking BS this mission is so bugged the locking system just doesnt want to lock on the enemy and also hitting the enemy is most of the time not posible because there is a system active blocking you from hitting the enmy a small red cross apears inside the center

[Richard Siegers]

also this mission is so bugged the bandits fight each other

edit: o wow for i my health is 0 and still dont die..... yeah its bugged

[DaRayRay]

I literally don't know what you're talking about Richard, but if this game pisses you off so much I suggest taking a break and coming back later, MB they'll fix it 'till then. I had no problem hitting the enemies, and it's not a bug that the "bandits" are fighting eachother. Your men dress up as their soldiers to look like the bandits in that mission, so it's your soldiers fighting the others.

The locking system locks onto the closest enemy and it works without fault for me. The button Tab re-locks your target, and if you have to it's OK to shift and reposition yourself, they usually don't have the time to strike you during that anyway.

True. Now i kill them all everytime i make an attempt. But i don't understand. As you can't kill them all, because Capon bleed and die, and as you can't run away with the ladders.... how do you "fail" it to continue ? Because all i see i this fight over and over, and this noble trash die and make me restart again and again and ....

you need to just attack the first gard to see and run for it.

[DaRayRay]

You're meant to fail in this mission, as I said at the very beginning. If you want to see all the cut-scenes however you need to play it through by first infiltrating the castle and then escaping with Capon.

i kill one guard and the another one just sees me . i have noise 0 .....

[NeoCortex]

sO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BUGGY !!!! I CANT EVEN FIGHT THOOSE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BCS ITS BLOCKING MY ATTACKS !!!!!!!!!!!!

[NotNice]

Its a destined to fail mission.I don't know whats the point of it even being in the storyline.

Best thing to do is just raise an alarm and fail in the beginning without getting Hans wounded and having to fight a garrison of troops like I did.

Good thing I didn't listen to Robard and got up there with my armor,or else I would have never gotten past that horde.
