There is only one quest that will become unavailable after the warning during this quest. It is the side quest Warble of the Smitten Knight.

Combat Strategies

Dun Tynne Guard/Nazair Bandits (Humans)

  • Coat your Steel Sword with Hanged Man's Venom to deal bonus damage to them.
  • You can cast the Signs, Aard, Igni, and Axii to either knock them down, burn them, or turn them into your allies to give yourself an easier time dealing with multiple enemies at once.
  • Throw bombs like Grapeshot, Nothern Wind, Samum, and Dancing Star to deal with multiple enemies at once.
  • Whenever combat starts, we recommend that you start by taking out the bowmen and crossbowmen first before dealing with the other guards and bandits.
