Last update: 06 August 2020

This chapter contains a complete walkthrough for the quest Traitor's Bounty. Here you will find advice that will help you complete this quest in the best way possible.

Beginning the quest

This mission appears in the journal only during the main quest Deep Secrets of Earth. In order to start it you must first reach that point of the main story. During the quest, Vanash will show you a place where you can speak privately. Go there.

Course of the quest

Vanasha will explain to you that Uthid is innocent. She will ask you to help save him.

Go to the place pointed by Vanasha. There you will find three trees shown above. Activate focus and follow the trail. After a while you will have to climb some rocks. On the top you can highlight more trail, but it isn't necessary as the path is rather linear.

You will reach the tent of the traitor. Examine it to push the quest forward. Activate Focus after the interaction and highlight more tracks. Follow the trail.

While tracking, you will find a few defeated machines with all useful parts removed from them. You will also need to defeat three Glinthawks that will surely notice you. Use burning arrows.

Once the fight is over, activate Focus again and follow the trail. Soon you will reach the remains of other machines. Then a short cutscene will trigger. Once it is over, you will be ready to speak to Uthid.

During the conversation you will be surrounded by head hunters. Hide behind cover and eliminate all enemies. Once the fight is over, collect all items and walk towards your companion. Interact with the wall next to him.

After you climb on the ledge, you will discover that there is much more hunters and a Bahavas priest is accompanying them. Fighting him will be much more challenging than the last time. Take care of the first wave of archers. Then climb into the niche shown on the picture. There you will find a disc launcher. Use it to shoot the enemies that will ride down the rope on your left. Once you eliminate all opponents, resume following Uthid.

Now you must fight the guards of the priest. There are only three warriors, but they are very resistant to damage and very dangerous. Perform many dodges and try to face them in melee combat. Keep the arrows for the one that uses heavy weapon.

Finishing the quest

Once the fight is over, climb with Uthid's help on another wall. You will see a short cutscene after which a dialogue with Vanasha will start. Once it is over, the mission will end and a new quest will appear in the journal - Queen's Gambit.
