The Maggot in the Apple [SQ] | Chapter 10 - Alester Sarwyck Game of Thrones Guide

Castlewood courtyard

You receive this quest after meeting Gawen in the Castlewood cellar, but only if you chose his side.

Point 1

After equipping Gawen in guard's suit (part of the main quest) get out on the exterior of Castlewood. If you didn't make a shopping, now you should do so. I recommend buying a castlewood armor.

Talk with Domeric about Ser Ethan. Domeric sends you where Ethan and his people are training.

Point 2

Meet with Ethan and propose a duel. Wildfire will be useful in the following battles, so buy it if your supplies are small (alchemist is on the other side of the exterior).

During the dialogue with Ethan choose the battle with his men. There are three of them, but you'll have to face, initially, one of them. Knock him down and regenerate energy when he is lying down. The encounter will be long, so you have to keep him on the ground - especially that you won't regenerate before the next encounter.

After defeating him, you face two next of Ethan's men. Use wildfire on the crossbowman, to get rid of him ASAP. Then use group stunning and energy regeneration. When one enemy lefts, knocking him down.

At the very end you'll fight the Ser Ethan himself. This time you'll get regenerated. If you interrupts his skills and hold him on the ground, the encounter shouldn't be problematic. In case of troubles use Wildfire.

After the victory return to castle and go with Gawen to save Mors.
