If you have questions about a puzzle that aren't answered anywhere in these hints, you may contact the author.

Why do I get a "quest ping" sound when I kill the bandits NW of the village?
  • 1 of 3: Because killing them off is part of a quest.
  • 2 of 3: If you're not on the quest yet, it's okay to kill them anyway. You can always get the quest and finish it later.
  • 3 of 3: In case you want to know, the quest is the Fighter to Crusader promotion quest, which can be gotten inside the city.
