Master combat training with Captain Bernard and ace the archery contest against Sir Hans Capon. Learn how to impress the Bailiff and start your journey in Rattay.
Alright, so you've just finished chatting with Sir Radzig at Pirkstein Castle. It's probably getting late, right? Before you jump into training with Captain Bernard, I highly recommend getting some rest. Your best bet is to head to the Rattay Mill and grab some sleep. If you're closer to the lower gate, the refugee camp has beds you can use too.
When you wake up, you'll likely be feeling a bit peckish. Make sure to find a cooking pot to whip up some grub, or just grab some supplies from the vendors in the town center. Once you're fed and ready, it's time to find Captain Bernard.
You'll find Captain Bernard chilling at the combat arena, which is just outside the Upper Gate of Rattay. Just a heads-up, he doesn't show up before 8 AM, so if you slept in a bit, you might have to wait a little while.
When you finally get to chat with Bernard, he'll want to talk about Rattay and its lords. After that, it's time to get down to business with combat training. You can choose to go through the absolute basics or jump into something a bit more advanced. Whatever you pick, pay close attention to his instructions and try to nail each technique. This is your chance to prove you've got what it takes!
Once you've had your fill of drills with Bernard, he'll lead you over to the archery range. After you take a few practice shots, get ready because Sir Hans Capon is going to show up, and you'll find yourself in an archery contest with him. No matter how you do in the archery, a sword fight is going to kick off right after. When that's all done, you'll need to report to the Bailiff. He hangs out in lower Rattay, so head that way. Oh, and don't forget to wash up at a trough on your way – gotta keep up appearances!
- Archery: If you want to impress Sir Hans and keep your dignity, aim a little higher than the actual target when you're shooting with the bow.
- Sword Fight: During the sword fight, focus on keeping your defense solid. Remember all those fancy moves Captain Bernard taught you? Now's the time to use them!
To find the Bailiff, head to the stairs to the right of the Tailor shop. Go up them, then walk down the hallway and into the main room. You'll spot the Bailiff working away at his desk.
When you're talking to the Bailiff, don't be shy about asking if there's any other work available in or around Rattay. You can always come back to him later if you need more quests.
Speak to the Bailiff and ask to join his service. Your first duty will be to assist the town guard on patrol.
