same…i poisoned the pot in the Skalitz refugee camp and waiting for every…never saw anyone eat for the whole day so I just kept doing whatever it was I was doing. Playing more of an assassin this time around, definitely gonna poison literally every pot in town here eventually

#7

Dang you’re evil! What did the Skalitz refugees do to piss you off haha :sweat_smile:

#8

nothin…just wanted to watch a bunch of people get sick/die all at the same time…it didnt work though. This time around I’m gonna try to make a bunch of that doll potion or use Bane potion instead of regular poison…havn’t decided yet.

#9

Hopefully the Bane potion works for you. Like I said above I dropped some in a pot and it didn’t seem to have any effect.

Who knows, maybe bandits are unaffected by Bane, whereas Skalitz refugees may be more susceptible

I never got that camp to work. But then went back to main story just to test, and the 2 bandits that are looking for Ginger. I found there camp att night, sneak in and put poison in there food. Then in the morning I came to see, and they was gone. So I waited to arround mid day, the next time NPC normaly ealy. Then 1 came back and he died after eating from the pot. Then came up objective completed. So what happend to the 1st bandit I dont know… Maybe he had breakfest then died in the forest somewhere… But atleast then it worked.

So not sure if it was just a problem with that first camp or what

#11

Not convinced it works. Not in lead up to battle with Runt and otherwise

#12

When the bandit died from the poison, did he die die immediately after eating, or did it take some time?

#13

Pretty much immediately, not long time atleast

Good to know, thanks

1st playthough I poisoned 1 pot and burned 1, maybe 2 arrows, but when I talked to Sir Radzig it said mission failed but I had already told him I sabotaged them so I dont know what’s wrong…probably just a quest bug vs poisoning pots not actually working.

I will either poison a pot in a camp or I will buy a room and poison the food at that Inn and sleep, wake up for breakfast and just sit at the tables and watch. I wish you could poison the wash water so you could watch them all get in line, get poisoned and then die right in front of you

#16

Did you hit all the pots? If you miss one arrow barrel or one pot, think you fail the objective

I didn’t do a non-poison pot play through. in my play through, killed everybody, poisoned all the pots, burned all the arrows. Per the number of enemy NPCs that showed up for battle, it didn’t seem like the camp was suffering from bane-poison combined food poisoning and a diminished number of arrows

#17

yea see I couldnt hit them all before I ran out of speech options and had to run, the enemies would just see me even if I was in complete black and start walking towards me to confront me so idk. I’m on that mission now actually so unless I can do the master huntsman quest before raiding Pribyslavits then I will probably stop here for now, if I have to wait until Questions and Answers quest then I will have to raid Pribyslavitz…idk for sure though

#18

Tried to go stealth but after second kill, it went south. They descended upon me. Luckily, I got in a position to reduce flanking. Grinded away with mace. Then when they let up, came out with Cuman bow. Perhaps by killing all, the pots and barrels reset along with NPCs

Mace is OP…especially if you wear light armor so you can pump out swings faster.

#20

The mace jab (stab) is over the top powerful. 2 clean jabs with ceremonial mace to Runt’s chest… over

I use a bailiffs mace but yea, it’s not much better then the ceremonial. A little time spent with Cpt Bernard and when I went to do the bandit raids for him I was 1 shotting the minions and maybe 2 shots to kill the leader…it was easy mode from there on out. Had to take my armor game down a bit because it got too easy.

Sticking to axes, bows and stealth this play through as much as I can

#22

One time I dropped some sleeping potion into the pot of those famous executioners from Kuttenberg . Boy, the executioner even ate two bowls of the poisoned stuff without any effect. Greedy bastard.

#23

Hmm, I even poisoned a rotten fish (0 health) with bane and gave it to a dog without effect. I tried my best to be a beast, but it seems that this poisoning thing is only simulated in the Pribyslavitz quest.
A damn shame for sure.

#24

Damn anorexics.

Yes, it looks like its very unpredictable. Sometimes works, sometimes not.
I used to use bane, which usually kills 1-2 people from a camp. It looks like the NPC eat from pot very ocassionally.
Sometimes only 1, the other 3-4 are passing the meal.

Even if the Cumans says in Hungarian the “I’m gonna get drunk, what else should I do”. No-one ever drinked from my poisoned wine yet…

So my conclusion is that you could poison 1 or 2 from them and have to kill the rest in regular way. Also prepare for a long time wait if you would like to use poison.

The only one which do wonders for me, is dollmaking poison on weapons. Slows down the enemy immediatelly, and prevents them from running away.
