Learn how to complete Search and Destroy quests in Crusader Kings III. This guide details enemy groups, how to identify targets, and the rewards you can expect.

Search and destroy quests are the most common type of quest in the game. In these quests, a citizen will inform you about a group of enemies causing trouble in a specific area. Your objective is to locate and eliminate all of them. These enemies always appear in groups and are identified by distinct names.

Here is a list of common enemy groups you might encounter:

  • King Game Club: A Korobokle with many Meloncholies
  • Super Escargoo: A Giant Escargoo
  • Wolfsbane Trio: A Cockadoodledoo and 2 big Turnipheads

These quests are randomly assigned and may differ between players. While there are a limited number of quest locations, you will eventually become familiar with them. Enemies you need to defeat will have the word "target" displayed in blue above them. Completing any of these quests guarantees a treasure reward. Since there appears to be an unlimited supply of these quests, they are a good source of income if you need money. You can also choose to skip them later in the game if you have accumulated enough wealth.
