You need to kill a character who named a Tickler in this party, and he will give you book. If Tickler will not be killed but knocked uncosious, he will escape and quest should be ruined. To actually kill him you need to do this yourself, your other troops will only knoch him down.

How can you find them? I've looked and looked. Everytime I end up with nothing. I need some sort of lead on this quest! I understand that he must be outright killed (according to EugeneBush comment), but how do you find this guy? What is his party's name? I just don't know how to do it...

Thank you! I wish we didn't have to cheat to complete it. The quest should be tweaked a little in the future.

Dang it! Found the Tickler (and his "Lanister Raiding Party") finally with the cheat option. Now I can't complete the quest. Can't figure out how to kill the Tickler. He just falls unconcious after I hit him a few times and then Beric Dondarion thinks I'm lying about beating him. There doesn't seem to be a way to beat this quest right now. Anybody else have any luck actually completing the quest and killing the Tickler?

I can't complete this mission as well, and i made sure i actually KILLED Tickler (loaded save few times to kill him over and over). I still didn't get the book and Beric is accusing me of lying.

I had the same problem mate. Ride a horse and use the "speed bonus" when you attack him. Also, I used a valiryan sword so in some way that's an advantage

I tried again and i found out that i didn't have to kill Tickler. I just made sure that no enemy escaped.

I tried that method of not letting any troops escape. Still fails with Brotherhood! Also tried to kill Tickler many times. Still no sucess. This one broken quest is very frustrating. First you almost have to cheat to even find the Tickler's party. Then it's a guesing game as to how to figure out the correct formula to trigger a successful quest completion. The quest needs to be fixed in the next update. For now, I'm having trouble continuing to play this game after so much time trying to get past this one quest. I've gotten my money's worth after donating a little bit to help Produno, but now I'm at the point with glitches and cheats that this game probably won't be played again for a long time. Damn this quest!

Okay, 15 retries. (where i got them all, fair few more where a lone rider or 2 got away..)
13 where i killed the tickler, 2 where someone else got to him.

1 of those was a long ass battle where i dismissed everyone so it was just me, took near 30 mins but killed em all, still called a liar by dundarion.. Seems theres something up.

Maybe you knocked him

To be honest: i finished this quest with cheats on, i just used ctrl+alt+F4 to knock down all enemies. You may try it that way... It was the only time i actually managed to achieve anything

Knocked and killed, mostly killed.

Yeah i just tried that, same again. "Liar"

Dunno if theres a specific issue some people are hitting so the quest bugs. I guess i`ll try a while new play through again later on. see if i can get the quest done, then back track andforce it to bug out, figure out whats up.

Its breaked now, no way to finish. Waiting for fix.
