Vendavel Prison

[scavenger]

Was I, was I suppose to lose against the guy with the big club, then the 2 gaurds that came in after that? I am basically walking around, being called a prisoner, but...I am fully capable of killing everyone here because I got the keys from the guy who tried to club me.

Pretty sure you can kill all of em. I went to the prison so i could get more iron scraps to make explosive charges. The area is odd as i just asked to help around the prison, picked up my pack and left.

[scavenger]

Yeah, I think this area might be...a little...underdeveloped. I get the idea of the whole captured and force too mine and etc but, the fact you just ask to work elsewhere, open the door, and boom, practically free.

Turn YOUR prison into THEIR prison. Lock them up and tie them up in the basement

Then use the big club in the guards butt. Thats what I did... he definitely wont be messing with me anymore

Right? When i picked up my gear i was expecting to get curb stomped but nothing. Pay no attention to the mage with the giant glowing staff.

Will admit, the whole red themed guy was a tad difficult, I am a melee build, no magic yet. But apparently you can get him sorta locked if u simply go up the stairs and get behind that chest. Sometimes he combo swings himself back there if your unlucky.

I was captured and eventually asked to help around. I thought there’d be some narrative about working out an escape plan. Then I found a room with all my stuff. It sounds like people could just leave, but I thought I had to kill the guard with the key. I spent several iterations of losing, getting my stuff, being defeated again and so on. Each time they would just let me out to work again. I managed to kill one guard but lose, so there was one less guard the next time, but then all the other guards rushed in. At that point they beat me down and someone rescued me and I ended out on the mountain.

Ok this is what i have so far :

1 - Outside main entrance shield guy. I climbed up on the nearby rock formation with my bow and shot him to death. He can't reach you.

2 - After entering, do not talk to the guy on the left. He will immediately imprison you. Talk to the 2 guards on the right, and select kill them.

3 - After the above, there are 2 bosses with 2-3 henchmen. You will know when you see them....they only become hostile after talking to them.

4 - 1 boss is melee. After talking to him, immediately run back to narrow passageway you came from. I used a damage potion and a fire rag. The narrow passageway makes it easier to handle him or his henchmen. I managed to kill him shortly after 1 of his goons reach him.

5 - The other boss is a caster. Repeat what you did above...kite them back to the "elevator" area you came from, boss cannot aim you properly due to line of sight. Kill the goons that come after you, they are easy. Melee rush the caster boss after.

All other NPCs in there that I found, are non hostile. There is also an ornate chest locked behind pulley rings puzzle. I have not figured it out yet.....fail and it will drop you into a pit leading to a lair belonging to those glowy spear mushroom guys.

This area highlights an issue with the game where you have to initiate dialogue to start combat, since the game prevents you from sneaking around and murdering them.

Yeah, I was in the mine and a prisoner taught me how to backstab with a shiv. I tried backstabbing the guards but it does nothing because you have to basically demand to fight, then it seques into a fight.

[scavenger]

actually, I think I had solved the ornate chest one, all you have to do is simply pull just the correct pulley and it works, I didn't notice the door open and pulled another, but, landed on the side rather then the hole xD

You can also lay traps around the place and they won't stop you.

Ok, major question...do the enemy/npc/etc respawn?
I have walked by the 1 wendigo corpse I ended up killing (with obvious help of wandering bandits) on day 3 sooo many times, and even the shrimps on the coastline through the storage path are still there, they spawn from the distance but just drop to the ground dead when I get closer.

Churchy on Youtube actually recommends getting imprisoned for infinite silver. You can return as many times as you want with a stockpile of life potions and bandages to sell to the nurse for a ridiculous profit.

Vendeval just became my #1 pre-faction trade route. I hope I can keep trading with the nurse after the mission where you can befriend the warlords!

I think enemies respawn after 7 hours of you being out of the area or something like that, maybe 7 days.

There's 2 things going on in this dungeon. On the one hand is the quest to kill the warlord (Crock -the armored guy with a club - being one of them). On the other hand is a sort of mini-quest thing where you can become a prisoner and do some various things to escape, and potentially unlock a skill, etc.
