[ Major Spoilers] Hunting the most Dangerous Game

[ultrapowerpie]

No, I don't just mean humans, I mean THEM. The Perenials. The Big 9. Well, 7 at the start of the game anyways. I'm planning on making a mini-guide on the more elusive aspects/achievements for the game, but I want to go through to get them first.

I found the following thread from a while back and it has most of the info I need: https://steamcommunity.com/app/437250/discussions/0/133256959384834523/?ctp=2#c133257636766718680

So Lady of Blades is in the main story, easy enough to kill, the Forgtton King is the old engineer and is also fairly easy to kill doing that quest, and Ashen's storyline eliminates another, leaving us with 4.

Now, the thread in question has how to off Ashen, though I'm hoping there's a... less violent route? As in, somehow kill the others and let Ashen know? Or it could be that it never got through.

What it doesn't really mention, is how to kill Dredger. I have 50 grit and it's still impossible to kill him, so I'm thinking I missed something in Ransack's questline. Possibly I didn't examine owlglass or something before I agreed to trot off to the jail?

You can kill it. I fiddled around with the save to have 999 Grit, and I was able to kill him.
You can also get a reward from him without any consequences.
He hurts you badly and drains a lot of your sanity.
You also gain favor from three deities and lose favor from one.
Also, the aspect of the trickster.
Apart from that, nothing. It seems that you can kill Dredger and Arthur in the same event.
That's two out of the list.

Yeah I did some fiddling myself, looks like Dredger can be killed with a minimum of 70 for a very high risk option.

I'll be writing the mini-guide soon about it, but thanks for the post!

Never got round to trying the alternative for Ashen (Stopped playing for ages after getting that achievement), but I'm going to guess you just choose to leave the house or wander away (Can't remember if this exists, pretty sure of a do nothing type choice) instead of the Immortality choice. It also occurred to me that she might attack you anywho in order to force a situation of her death, it's a fairly common trope for a friend to attack the protagonist in order to force them into killing them for justice or whatever. Thats just my 5 second interpretative guesswork though :P

Yeah, Dredger is wildly dangerous, possibly one of the top-ten hardest skill checks in the game.

When I took him on I had over 100+ Grit, and I still remember it was described as a "coin toss".

Killing Arthur is also a bit of a weird situation, because you don't actually kill him. If you let Dredger kill him with his own sword, then you get credit for the kill. If you personally kick Arthur off of his watchtower, then you don't get credit for the kill (maybe he survives?).
