Patriot, Mission 6: Pathfinder A
very weak entry in the campaign. Yes, the first five missions were stellar,
but this is so far below in quality that it actually leaves a bad taste in my
mouth. The locations are uninteresting, the plot incomprehensible, the
distances unbearable, and not to mention clues to cryptic puzzles being
completely non-existent. I just want to forget about this mission and move on
to a (hopefully) better continuation. To be honest, I wish this one had been
deleted during beta. I
had to locate evidence that the major had been taken, along with finding a
guide to take me across the quicksands. That was
it. Not
much to mention other than I never used the westernmost tree in the starting
forest. It required the taking of a tree branch to get back, which was
unnecessary for Supreme. I used the dark forest route instead. It was a
longer trek, but eliminated the pickup. Snuck through the valley with the
frogs carefully. It was the only area that required any kind of sneaking.
They didn’t hear me dropping into the water close to the bridge. Saw
the pagan and went all the way back to grow the lupine. I don’t think dousing
the firefly swarm should be a Supreme bust, despite it removing a light
source (image below). The objective mentions growing the plant in a dark
spot, so it obviously implies the necessary preparations. I tossed the
glowing lupine across the forest a few times, in order to more easily avoid
the treebeasts’ gaze. The
shaman didn’t see me at any point, as her hut was dark. Killing her and
dealing damage directly followed the objective. Returned the lupine and the
useless bottle on my way back, then followed the pagan to the end. Easy.
Statistics: Time: 42:37 Loot: None Pickpockets: None Secrets: 3 out of 3 Locks Picked: 0 Damage Dealt: 10 Damage Taken: 0 Innocents Killed: 1, and others Killed: 0 Consumables: 1 Water Arrow Ghost: Success! Perfect Thief: Success! Supreme Thief: Success! Perfect Supreme Thief: Success! Notes: -
The water arrow was used to remove the light source
where the lupine grows. This is heavily implied by the objective, so I argue
no Supreme bust. -
The kill and damage dealt is from downing the shaman.
This follows the objective directly, so no bust. She was not alerted in the
process. |
