Get 3 cuman disguises

Fortunately I’ve gotten pretty good at the eye shots in “most” of the helmets. The ones with the tiny tiny slits I just have to go back to my best friend Pointy Stick.

Yew longbow with better piercing arrows works for me. One shot in the head for most, No more than three for the heavy armored foes.

I’m like Legaless from Lord of the rings lol

You can just do nest of vipers and while the battle is going on you can loot the cuman bodies

Does poisoning the food or burning arrows actually impact the battle of priv? Does the number you give to radzig impact how many men he brings? I always skipped the poisoning because I wanted a bigger longer battle, so I never found out if it did anything

It does make it a much easier fight but it also doesn’t matter to the larger story how many men you bring. merhojed is attacked regardless because the main quest and pestilence has to happen.
