Walkthrough

It will be a great idea to bring a mage with Anodyne to keep not only your party’s HP up but also the ox that’s pulling the cart with the Hydra’s head on. You’ll have to make your way first to the Waycastle where Ser Mercedes is waiting. Expect to encounter pack of wolves and bandits along the way.

The first mountain path is filled with harpies and goblins. Ranged and fire-based attacks works best against these pests. Remember to stay close to the caravan and rest if healing is needed. After the first turn in the mountain trail, you’ll encounter more harpies along the way. Be careful in the second turn since there’s a large boulder there that will start rolling down once you get near. There’s a mountain cottage here but you can just ignore that and continue down the path. You’ll eventually reach a small hill infested with harpies. Take them out and make sure the group’s completely healed before venturing forth.

You’ll be halted by another waycastle that’s been taken over by goblins. Defeat them all then pull the lever nearby to proceed. You’re almost near and it’s possibly evening by the time you reach this point. Continue carefully and take out the goblins, bandits or undead that will ambush you from the foliage and the darkness. The quest will be complete once you reach Gran Soren’s gates safely.
