How to Unseal
Pick up the artifact to register the challenge. Wait until nighttime in Hernand, then locate and destroy ten banner pikes scattered throughout the city while remaining undetected by guards and enemies. Stealth is essential for this challenge.
Notes
Cannot be sold to vendors.
This is a stealth-focused challenge. If detected, the attempt does not fail, but the destruction of that specific banner pike may not count.
Banner pikes are large flag-mounted spears visible throughout Hernand's streets and outposts.
