Fight Fire with Fire [MQ] - p. 2 | Chapter 12 - Mors and Alester Game of Thrones Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Riverspring Castle
Point 1
During conversation with Wex be gentle, and he we'll be pleased and won't get suspicious. He get to know that Maester Harwyn lives and is taking care about one of Wex's men.
Point 2
When you meet Harwyn, tell him to heal the wounded. Thanks to that your way will be much easier. Otherwise, you'll have to kill people in Harwyn's office and find other way to open the castle gate [point 4].
Point 3
What is optional, you may save one of nobles who is forced to dance and sing for Valarr's men, and she is going to be killed by them. Try to buy her.
Point 4
If you killed soldiers in [point 2], killing Jorah let you get a ring needed to open the castle. Kill him whatsoever, because he tried to please himself with beheaded body of Elyana. At sister's body you find also Gawen's Medallion and Codex entry.
Point 5
In Alester's mother bedroom Valarr's men are mollesting servants. Kill the thugs. This part isn't obligatory.
Point 6
Return to Wex who is in the good mood as you helped to heal his man. First, ask for Ravelle as a reward. For saving her like that you receive a statuette of Crone, required to the quest The Faith of Our Ancestors.
Then ask for permission to leave the castle. Wex won't oppose.
Point 7
Get to the closed gate and tell the guard that Wex is sending you to the city and they let you exit. If you didn't help heal Wex's man, use the Jorah's ring to convince them.
After opening the gate, Ryman with his men enters the castle. He joins you once again - you'll easily beat guards. Follow your known tactics.
Point 8
Time for tactic decision comes after the encounter. Take the left hall, it's more challenging. You and Ryman will handle with this easily, his man won't do that.
Fight begins on the stairs. Adjust your weapon according to enemies' armors. Use Rymar as a tank.
Point 9
In the dining room the bigger encounter awaits. Ryman's healing will hold him standing, while you'll be eliminating enemies surrounding him.
After cleaning up this room, enter the kitchen and eliminate remaining enemies.
Point 10
Go to the first floor, to your father's office. Three enemies there shouldn't be problematic.
Point 11
Then go out on the terrace before the throne room. Choose blunt weapon, because enemies will be heavy armored. If you have a distance weapon, you'll be able to soften approaching enemies. It's even possible to attack them from the other side of balustrade. As usual, your best friends are stunning, knocking down and bullying.
Point12
After finishing last enemy you meet Greydon and his people, who cleaned up the right wing.
While going to the throne room, loot the rooms which Greydon cleaned.
Point 13
Wex is waiting with his thug in the throne room. The biggest fight in the castle begins!
Luckily, you have equal number of men. Focus on stunning Wex and use area skills when you can. In case of need, use the Wildfire. Greydon's men will get rid of weaker units, so you don't have to bother about them.
After battle pick up Wex's weapon, the Splash. Almost certainly it upgrades weapon of Alester or Mors.
Point 14
Talk with Harwyn again to consult strategy of battle with Valarr's men. You can assign three groups of soldiers to Ryman, Jon and Greydon. For the best result assign like that:
- Ryman - archers
- Jon - armed citizens
- Greydon - pikemen
You lose the game if you assign armed citizens to Ryman, pikemen to Jon and archers with Greydon.
Point 15
At the end of chapter go to the courtyard, find Mors' body. When Alester gives a ritual R'hllor's kiss to him, he revives!
