1414 Barraging Cannon 1: Three enemies in one shot. Lure a group close together and fire into the center. Bandit camps with enemies sitting around campfires are ideal targets since they cluster naturally.Barraging Cannon 5: Watchtowers appear in enemy fortresses and camps. You need to destroy two within 10 seconds, so scout the location first and position yourself where both towers are visible. Fire at one, reload, and immediately fire at the second.

1616 Cannon ammo is limited compared to arrows. Keep an eye on your supply and restock at merchants before attempting challenges. The Steelbane I passive from Barraging Cannon 1 increases your damage against structures, which directly helps with Barraging Cannon 5.

2222 Barraging Cannon 3: The tricky part is the "without destroying surrounding objects" condition. You cannot hit barrels, crates, or other destructible environmental objects while fighting. Find an open area with enemies away from any destroyable props. Open fields and roads work better than camps for this challenge. The Greater Swift reward increases your movement speed during combat.
