Treasure Map 18

[Cendrake]

Okay... so I couldn't find anything about this... it's the map leading to the chest in the poacher's camp just slightly east of Talmberg.

The problem I have is: That poacher is there 24/7. Despite the fact that supposedly every NPC has a daily schedule... this one here is a demi-god that doesn't need sleep or food or anything. He can just stand there, fully awake for all eternity and guard the chest.

Furthermore, the whole area game-mechanic-wise seems to count as his 'house' and he's really quite territorial. So he will start to tell you to ♥♥♥♥ off, if you enter the area and soon will attack you.

As if that isn't enough... it gets even better... Although I am the flippin Master Huntsman of Talmberg in the flesh and that guy is a criminal, poaching in what supposedly is my territory, I'm not even allowed to knock him out or kill him if HE attacks ME, PLUS somehow there seems to be Jesus Christ sitting invisibly somewhere in the bushes, watching my every move and telling every effing soldier in Talmberg about it.

And because all of that makes so much sense and isn't broken at all: I can't even stealthily dispose that guy, because he seems to have superhuman senses...

Is there any way to get to the contents of that chest without becoming a killer, because bug-magic?

punch him! knock him out! open the chest and avoid talmberg for a little while if you have guard issues. the guards never bothered me. i regularly beat him up after becoming master huntsman to fulfill my duties. but seriously, it's very annoying that you can't arrest/converse with/legally reprimand poachers after becoming huntsman - a missed opportunity for the devs.

[Cendrake]

Ye... I let him attack me and ran away from him, without punching him back, all the way to Talmberg castle... Still it seems that was enough for the guard at the gate to stop me, because I 'broke into that poacher's house' ... I surrendered and didn't have to pay a fine or anything. So far my rep still seems to be the same, although in the next few ingame days anything could happen...

That's the reason why I didn't want to do it, because I want that achievement for having 80+ rep in all towns and I already made the awesome experience of how effing totally broken the stinking reputation system is. I'm really fed up of it. I don't want to spend another 10+ real-time hours on trying to repair a bad reputation that I didn't even deserve, because I didn't do anything... it's absolutely ridiculous.

The more I play this game, the more I hate it... usually it should be the other way around... so much broken stuff...

sneak up behind and knock him unconsious, he will never know it was you.

Please read. As I already wrote: It was totally impossible to sneak up on him. 1) He was turning around every 3 seconds, even when he had not even seen me. Looks north... 3sec later... turns around 180 degrees and looks south... 3sec later looks north... again... 24/7 he was standing there and doing it. 2) He would IMMEDIATELY notice me as soon as I stepped into the invisible barrier of his 'house', no matter which way he was facing and me making 0 noise and stealth 13.

Im - poss - ible.

He has to sleep sometime. If not then its a bug and should be reported in the bug section.

[Jordlberger]

I always kill him because he is just a lawbreaker.
Henry is the law.

This is a bit of a resurrection, but I'm workin' on this map as well. I found the poacher a long, long time before I started working on my pile of treasure maps, and while the map somewhat leads to this spot, I'm honestly not sure this is the right spot.

Why do I say this? Well, it's too easy. Generally, the treasure is hidden. This guy is just camped out here, and the chest near him seems to contain hunting equipment and supplies, not "loot" that someone would be tryin' to hide.

I killed the hunter, but then I couldn't open the chest because of the dead pig in front of it (I mean the animal and not the hunter). I assume it's a bug!

Leave the area (some considerable distance away) and come back. There pig will be gone due to the cell resetting.

Indeed. By chance I passed by there after some time and the pig was gone. Thanks for the help anyway.

You're welcome.
