it was my last trophy was losing my mind trying to achieve it:p
after i trained my strength in rattay i knew it had something to do with the crime/ reputation rate
but you only have to do a minor crime otherway’s erik gonna have a 20+ level
because if you hit someone 2 times or you get got by a guard
it will lock your trophy
You should not wear fancy and shiny clothes and you should have blood stains on your clothes and weapon.
Sorry but how the hell do you do that? you need fancy clothes for the charisma check + my sword was bloody from the battle defending the catapult. it´s def a bug if you have to stab a bathmaid in rattay for it to work.
Tried workaround posted by Gabonica and it works.
You need to decrease reputation with Rattay by killing few npc ( I killed 2 guards + 1 civilian = from 96 rep to 50) and Erik stats were lowered. Then jail time 10 days and after I was able to win all 4 speech checks against Erik.
Hope they will fix this bug along with others in 1.4.
the lower rattay’s reputation is
the lower erik strength
but the higher his charm and speech will be
