Saving private Bryan on Fearless

[4ltair]

Twice have i encountered this quest on Fearless difficulty and i have failed both times because of him having 800 HP, meaning that he's getting one shot-ed by pretty much everything (as comparison, the weapon delivery guys have both 20000+ HP).

So, a word of advice to anyone playing on a harder difficulty that normal: lower the difficulty when attempting this quest, otherwise you'll lose 1 attribute and 1 skill point.

Or you could just clear the path ahead of him by triggering the escort part of the quest then running far enough ahead that he stops moving. Once he's stationary, you can clear all the way to the gate without risking him.

Nine characters in Fearless or IO1 Mode playing this game, and I've only ever failed this quest once using that strategy. That one time was due to a bug that involved a bad trigger which got fixed in v0.0.3Beta.

That's one way of doing it but i think that his HP is not updated according to the difficulty level and maybe a dev is reading this and hopefully it gets addressed in a future patch.

Next time, i'll try your method and see how it works (i've had the same ideea on the second time but i didn't go too much in front of him out of fear of not being caught by one of the landing inkgates)

His Health is not set to scale. He's supposed to be the most difficult side quest for the area, which is why the quest provides such a high bonus reward.

In that case DEVs could have made some kind of indication for that...tried it on hard diffuculty level and one second after accepting quest it was failed. Didn't even have time to see where he went while fighting off those hordes of enemies that just came up from nowhere (on the path to where there are resistance soldiers waiting). It is my first playthrough so next time I know at least what to expect. :-S

They gave you an indication: enable the Health Bar options in the Options menu, and you can see that his health is crap and that he's delicate.

[GrumpyGusTheGrizzle]

his health being low isnt a proper indication, the lack of scaling and the enemies force targeting him is just bad design...

The most frustrating yet simple Quest in this fun game.

Read the area and make use of the design.
