Overview
House Celeste is the governing noble house of the Hernand region. Their faction quests revolve around the bounty board system. House Celeste runs the bounty notices posted on lightposts and wanted boards throughout Hernand. Each bounty targets a named outlaw that you must track down, capture (or defeat), and surrender to the guard station alive. These quests reward Silver currency and are one of the most consistent money-earning activities in the game.
Bounty posters start appearing in Hernand once you reach Chapter 2 of the main story. Look for wanted posters on lightposts around the City of Hernand and in surrounding settlements. Each poster you interact with adds the corresponding bounty quest to your log.

How Bounties Work
Each bounty follows the same basic flow: find the bounty poster, track down the target, subdue them, and deliver them to a guard station. Some targets try to run when you approach, while others stand and fight. Lower-value marks like Jeffrey and Billy can be subdued with a simple tackle and three punches. Higher-value targets like Alessio and Blix require actual combat, as they have health bars and may be surrounded by guards or fellow bandits.
Find the poster : Interact with a bounty poster on a lightpost or wanted board. The target's rough location is marked on your map.
Track the target : Travel to the marked area. Some targets move around, so you may need to search the vicinity.
Subdue the target : Tackle them (sprint and press the interact button) and hit them a few times to force them to surrender. For combat-capable targets, deplete their health bar first.
Deliver to the guard station : Carry the captured target to the nearest guard station in the City of Hernand. Surrender them to collect your Silver reward.
Bounty Walkthroughs
Jeffrey (1 Silver)
Jeffrey is the introductory bounty that serves as a tutorial for the system. Pick up his poster near the constabulary outside the city, to the left of the Plaza exit. Guard Captain Pedro can point you in the right direction. Jeffrey wanders the streets of the City of Hernand. Once you spot him, sprint toward him and tackle. Three punches will subdue him. Carry him to the guard station to collect 1 Silver and a Mask.
Billy (2 Silver)
Billy hangs around Rhett's Shop in the City of Hernand. He may try to hide or run when you get close. Sprint after him and tackle him down, then deliver a few hits to force the surrender. Carry him to the guard station for 2 Silver.
Bianca (5 Silver)
Bianca is found exploring the Hernand countryside. She is quick on her feet and will attempt to flee immediately when she spots you approaching. Use your sprint to close the gap fast and tackle her before she gets too far. Subdue and deliver for 5 Silver.
Simon de Montfort (8 Silver)
Simon de Montfort is located in Scholastone at the Everfrost Basin, further from the city than the earlier targets. He will attempt to run once you enter his vicinity. Chase him down, tackle, and subdue for 8 Silver.
Alessio (12 Silver)
Alessio is a combat bounty found in the Greenfield Highlands near the Ironwood Bandit Camp. You need to fight and defeat Alessio in actual combat before you can capture him. He has guards nearby, so be prepared for a multi-enemy encounter. Once defeated, bind and deliver him alive for 12 Silver.
Salvatore (12 Silver)
Salvatore is located at Sunset Valley in the southernmost part of Hernand. Like Alessio, he requires a fight before capture. Tackle and hit him several times to force the surrender, then deliver him for 12 Silver.
Blix (15 Silver)
Blix works under Hornsplitter's Guards and can be found near their main camp at Unicorn Cliff. This is a genuine fight; Blix is a capable combatant with backup from camp guards. Defeat him in combat, carry his body to the City of Hernand, and surrender him to the guards for 15 Silver.
Warren (25 Silver)
Warren is the highest-paying bounty in the House Celeste pool. He becomes available later in the game. Warren is a dangerous target and should be prioritized once the quest unlocks, as the 25 Silver payout is significant. Come prepared with good equipment and recovery items.
Tips
Warren at 25 Silver is the single most valuable bounty. Prioritize unlocking and completing this bounty for a large payout.
Tackle targets from behind for a guaranteed knockdown. Approaching from the front gives them a chance to dodge.
If a bounty target dies during combat, you can still deliver the body, but you may receive a reduced reward.
Bounties contribute to your Faction Reputation with House Celeste, pushing you toward Friendly and eventually Alliance standing.
Check lightposts regularly as you progress through the story. New bounty posters appear as you complete chapters.
