Scouting Prizbylitz

[whizkids355]

I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Even in Cuman armor they still fight me. I thought Cuman armor would allow me to blend in. But it becomes a suicide mission each time I try to sabotage the camp.

Just fight them. Bring archery to lvl8 or 5 + bowman brew. Get a fairly usable bow and 40 random arrows, armor kits and jump on a wagon or rooftop, Lure 5 enemies each time. Loot corpses for more arrows and 74 cuman bow will need 14 strength. There are at least three locations outside/inside camp with
1. tall bush you can walk one
2. broken rooftop
3. wagon/tipped over wagon
Henry can slaughter the whole camp. That is how Henry 'scout'.

Alternatively, you can just go back to Sir Radzig and fight a slightly harder fight later on. As long as you have enough intel so that Sir Radzig would call both reinforcement from Rattey and Talmberg, you can sit in the back and doing nothing. Yes, even if you don't sabotage enemy camp.

I heard that Henry can also kill Timmy and join the Camp from Morcock's introduction. You can also scout that way if you are willing to load back to an earlier save and sacrifice Timmy.

its janky and terrible, just scout as much as you can then run past 2 things to poison/burn on your way out and keep running

Funny, you are at the place I JUST got to and am frustrated as you are. This game feels like a slog or I am doing something wrong.

If you're wearing a previously looted complete Cuman outfit you can just walk into the camp without any problems. Go up the hill where the bandits are and drop a bane potion into one of the pots. Check where most of the enemies are before starting, once the potion (or two) is dropped run to arrows and set them on fire. Then run to Cuman camp and set fire to all arrows, and poison the pot closest to the back entrance. Get out and escape ...

If you like you can also circle around the camp first to get some more details on how to approach the camp during the battle. Which doesn't actually change anything, you will always start at the same location, and go over the bridge into the camp. If you picked the second or third option on enemy numbers it won't be that hard to fight them later. But you have to sure that archers are killed as soon as possible.

They detect you once you poison/sabotage so you have to make a run for it.

Maybe wrong but I read that cuman armor wont work if its blooded or very dirty.

i originally tried numerous ways to Scout Pryb without cheesing the game, but it seems inevitable that Henry will be noticed and will be chased - that's just how it plays out

once i accepted that the game will not allow me to do this by stealth or subterfuge, as implied, i decided to cheese the heck out of the Scout Pryb mission

it's simply far easier to down the potion triplet, park yourself in the barn side entrance, and then just start killing them all - back-stepping often - arrows with Dollmaker for the win

then, i walk all around and "scout" the area while stripping the bodies - nobody notices, nobody cares except my overloaded horse, and all the cumans and bandits respawn for the battle - works every time

you can also dress as a Cuman and run through the camps - the bandits will leave you alone until you do something wrong (ur Cuman), and only a single cuman will follow Henry around at a walk until the interaction to discover Henry is not a Cuman, so avoid the interaction with the single cuman following Henry, and race about doing some arrows and pots, and then just keep running (since ur only in cuman gear)

That’s the problem. I put on the Cuman armor and they still keep attacking me. I will have to go the “just fight them” route as long as I remember to use a savior schnapps just before beginning. I am already killing the Cuman at the bridge area anyway. Tried sneaking in the back way and they just catch me. It was dark and can’t figure out how if I can’t see them I the dark to fight how they can see me well enough to wail on me like it’s broad daylight. Thanks for the reply and happy hunting. Oh and I feel a bit hungry. lol

One easiest no-brain spot at the skalitz side entrance:

It has all the advantage you ever dreamed about.

They will always attack once they see you poison their pots and destroy arrows. There is no way around that unless you kill them all first. Don't make it harder as it is. If you killed one of the Cumans at the bridge you can use their armor. Make sure you're light (weight perks) so you can easily outrun the enemies. This quest is over in just a few minutes, without killing anyone. It's a waist of time, unless you want skill points, they will still be there later.
