Tavern Barkeep

[trijjicon]

Been months and months since leaving Conan. But then I hear about Chpt.3. B4 I jump back in, how r u guys spotting the Barkeep in a rather large Purge b4 my Thralls kill 'em? And jog my memory of how to capture a Thrall? Too many other games played in-between and I honestly don't remember exactly. Thnx

You need to kill the Hand of War once you've defeated all purge waves first. Take the keys and open the cages in the enemy camp.
There's a chance you get the tavern keeper or the mercenary trader who will sell you items for the purge such as mercenary banners, munitions and explosives.

You have to free the barkeeper from a cage after the purge is over.

Normally you would capture a thrall by bonking them over the head with a truncheon. You cannot do this with purge thralls and in any case there are too many to bother doing anything but kill them.

my problem is how to start the purge in the first place. I tried with a friend a few hours ago on three different spots, but a error said they couldn't find any spot for their camp... currently figuring out if this is one of these bugs they patched in recently, or if every spot was really unlikely to work in the first place

Make sure your surroundings have space for a natural camp build. The game tends to pick whatever space seems "vacant" enough to build on when you start a purge. It also has to check if they can reach your Treasury before and during a Purge.

Wow.... truncheon was the word I needed to hear. Oh my goodness, the things I have forgotten :) And oh how things have changed. In the past, I never opened cages after a Purge. Never had a treasure vault. So, it is likely my current base is in a bad location? And these 2 hotfixes that correct the demolishers and the camels, they do work? Or should I just wait till Funcom s...l...o...w...l...y comes and does the right thing to begin with? I do thank you guys for politely responding. I see a very troubling trend beginning here about content release that is not ready and this money money money tie ins. The players shouldn't have to pay for mods. Funcom should pay the modders...for doing the work that Funcom should've done to begin with. Just my thoughts.

And how should I proceed if the purge on the server where I play is disabled?

[[Ar]Curry]

Have you tried asking your server-admin about that?

hmm... given the current purge system, why should you disable purges at all? oO

Overall the new purge system is kind of fun if you haven't figured it out yet, Id advise moving your base location if that error still persist, A good spot if your playing solo or with friends is setting up in the desert near The black galleon, As there is a treasure cat there worth 5k to build up your purge wave # fast or slow, depending on the amount of gold you fill in the coffer. The treasures can also be converted to gold for easy transfer as the cat you carry you have to walk slow. The Demolishers still 1 shot my doors. Idk whats up with that. So i just build a door maze that leads to my coffer. And put thralls by each door to slow them down. Add a thrall to dump oil on people from above off your wall. that will help slow them down coming in also. Like someone said build in a really open area. And make sure there is a clear path line that an npc can fully walk to throughout the purge base. I don't recommend doing it close to your main base either. As for the camels. I have no idea. Also what mods do you mean the players pay for? I can subscribe to all the workshop mods for free. Do you mean the building skins and such they added as a paid dlc?

Thanks for the tip on door maze strategy, I haven't built my maze yet so any more tips are welcome!

One question though, if there's some sort of traffic jam, will the second wave of purgers spawn while the first still has not been killed? How many waves are there in total?

That little mod really helped me with the 1 shot demolishers.

@Maddogiv no offense but hitting the enter key from time to time while writing really improves the readablity. ;)

@Hodor that sounds a little like a dps issue for me. what about a thrall or two more for the defense or upgrading their weapons?

we're still in the planning phase, just wondering what happens if we don't kill fast enough so we can plan accordingly

ahh, allright. afaik there are 5 waves with multiple spawns each. iirc you need to finish off one wave before the other starts.
I would do another purge and play around a little, but since the last patch has broken the game for me, I can't. -.-
