Bandit Hideout

[101Titan101]

I got given a mission to destroy a bandit hideout by a lord of a town now I don't know what to do.

Do I just run around looking for a hideout or...?

[M.A.X.]

yeah you have to look around, it can be kind of stupid if you don't get lucky and can't locate it

If you tell us the town, someone will likely know where you can find that bandit camp.

check your map, it should show up there...

You can track bandits to find their hideouts. If your tracking isn`t upgraded, check their usual patrol routes, then look around that area and try circling near the unknown small party tracks.
Either that or aimlessly wonder around till you run into it, the size of the map is only so limited...

If you can`t be bothered by that, you can find the locations of hideouts online. It`s slightly different for everyone but they`re always in the same regions and once you`re near the region shown on screenshots taken by other people , wonder around in that area, you`ll run into it fast.

What I've noticed in my games is that bandit camps have set locations. Each type of bandit has a primary camp, then they move to the secondary camp, etc. As you take out camps, they move but they always move to the same predetermined spots.

By this point, I pretty much know the first couple of camp locations for every type of bandit.

That's why when I see a thread asking about bandit camps, I ask. After giving the information, the OP disappears and the thread goes silent.

If you don't know where they are, you can do it the hard way. Watch bandit groups and note their status. It will tell you they are "Patrolling around bandit camp", for example. Bandits congregate around camps so there will always be plenty of activity when you get close.

Keep checking the world map for bandits of the specified type. Find a group which is "traveling" and follow them BUT don't get close enough to change them to "running away from ...". They will lead you right to their hideout.

Then go West, up the valley past Fedner. Near Etrosq Castle in the foothills, you'll find the first Mountain Bandit Camp...I think.

If you don't see more and more bandits as you head up there, then you'll know that the internet has let you down again.

Every day at dusk, roaming bandits will return to their camps for the night.
You can follow them at long range without them noticing you if you have decent spotting .
