Band of Bastards

After travelling south of Merhojed, ride slowly and listen to your companions. You will find a burnt farm. Search the farm for traces of attackers.

Evidence can be found inside the house directly in front of the farmyard entrance. Go inside and enter the first door on your right. Find a dagger, a House Zoul shield, and a note to Sir Radzig on the wall.

Take the items to Kuno and speak with him. He will ask you to report to Sir Radzig. You can choose to do this immediately or volunteer to look for the raiders.

If you volunteer, head east of the farm until you approach a small outhouse. Nearby, you will find the corpse of a horse. Inspect it to initiate the next phase.

Head into the woods further east. In a clearing of grass, you will find an open sack of apples. Inspect it.

Walk toward the path to your left until you find a tree with a piece of clothing hanging from it. Inspect the clothing.

Continue along the path and find more clothing on the edge of the road. Inspect it.

Cross the road and follow traces of blood until you approach a wooden keg. Inspect it.

Continue further into the woods, following the traces of blood. Look for a birch tree with a patch of blood on its bark.

From the birch tree, continue into the woods until you hear voices. You will enter a clearing; the raider camp will be visible on the other side.

Equip the shield you found as evidence before attacking the camp. Use your bow to take out as many raiders as possible from the trees before they reach you.

Once the raiders are dead, report to Sir Radzig to finish the quest.

After speaking with Kuno about the message for Sir Radzig, ride north with the gang to the forest northwest of Uzhitz. You will encounter a mill menaced by raiders.

Kuno will suggest waiting until the raiders are intoxicated. You can agree to attack later that night, or persuade Kuno to attack now to prevent harm to innocents.

If you agree to wait, follow Kuno and his men to the village under cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) of darkness. Keep an eye on Kuno’s shield crest to avoid losing them.

After defeating the raiders, the gang will sit at tables outside the mill. Speak with some of them.

Sit at the table with Kuno and indulge his stories until the dialogue options end, or choose not to and drink the night away.

You will wake up with a headache and need to speak with Kuno at his encampment.

After speaking with Kuno about where to go next, a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) will initiate as the gang travels toward Sasau. The gang is ambushed at a ford in the river northwest of the monastery. You must fight your way back to the river bank to find cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects).

After speaking with Kuno, you will have the option to volunteer to find Jakey. It does not matter which option you choose; Kuno will insist that each man leaves the area on their own.

Kuno has discovered Jakey is at the Inn in the Glade. Make your way there to accost and question Jakey.

Speak with the owner, Andrew, at the inn. Andrew can usually be found outside the tavern entrance.

If you have good relations with Andrew from previous quests, he will tell you where Jakey was last seen without trouble. If you have scorned Andrew, you will need to use your strongest persuasion skill during dialogue to get the information.
