Last update: 28 November 2016

The following chapter contains a detailed description of gameplay in Scarlet Chorus Camp (M3) and Remote Settlement (M6) locations, associated with The Way of the Horde quest. Here you will find everything you need in order to complete the mentioned side quest.

Certain aspects were described in separate sections.

• Start the quest
• Ambush
• Reclaim your reward

Start the quest

The Way of the Horde is a side quest that isn't directly connected with the story of Kyros' Edicts. To be able to start it you must go to the Scarlet Chorus Camp. Once you're behind the walls, you must find Death Knell (M3) near the main square of the camp. During the conversation bring up the topic of the amount of recruits that reinforce the armies of this faction. You will then be asked to help the settlers from the Remote Settlement. The outcome of this quest will affect the reputation with the Scarlet Chorus group.

After you've accepted the quest, a new location will appear on the Vendrien's Well map - Remote Settlement. You can travel there from any place of the district. Depending on the amount of time remaining until the Day of Swords you can go there immediately or wait with the quest until you've completed all of the actions associated with Taking the Outer Valley quest. Once you're ready, head to the location.

Ambush

After you arrive at the location you will be presented with the view shown on the above screenshot. The settlement seems to be abandoned, but as soon as you get closer to the building you will see a dialogue screen informing you that you are being watched. There will be multiple choices available in the conversation window, but none of them will affect reputation in any way and all of them will end with the same outcome.

Ultimately, it turns out that you've been ambushed by Vendrian Guard. A group of four rebels will appear immediately and you have to face them. They aren't the toughest enemies you've faced, but depending on the moment you've decided to complete this quest they might still pose a threat. Focus on taking out the enemy mage and send one of your characters on top of the nearby building to engage the enemy archer in melee combat. Use active pause and control the encounter and you will be able to emerge victorious.

After the encounter ends, a group of Scarlet Chorus soldiers will appear in the area. One of the members of the group will start mocking you and will thank you for your help. You can have a short conversation with her, but the outcome of it will always be the same - she will direct you to Death Knell.

There's nothing more to do in this location. There's a number of containers in the area that you can search for valuables. The exact location of all of the treasures in this area can be found on the map associated with the Remote Settlement location. After you're done exploring the area and collecting items, head to the Scarlet Chorus Camp to reclaim your reward.

Reclaim your reward
