The Tale of Rowland Oakes Tips and Strategies

You Don't Need to Fight All Goblins in Outpost

Outside Korrow Ruins is a goblin outpost. You can just use your broom to fly directly to the entrance of Korrow Ruins, located in the northwest corner of the goblin outpost. If no goblin sees you, then you can just enter without having to fight.

If you are spotted by a goblin, just defeat them and any others surrounding the entrance, before heading in. No need to fight all the goblins in the exterior of the outpost.

Use Ancient Magic

To defeat the goblins quickly and efficently, it'd be best to use Ancient Magic to throw boxes, barrels, and other objects at them. This deals more damage than the basic attacks.
