Walkthrough

Meeting Naira

Find Naira southwest of Hernand Castle in an open yard. Speak with her, then travel with Duane to the archery grounds.

The Archery Contest

The contest is a timed shooting competition against an AI opponent. Rules are straightforward:

• Shoot 10 targets before your opponent does.

• Targets appear randomly on the left or right side of the range.

• You have unlimited arrows. Fire as fast as you can.

Winning Strategy

Keep your crosshair centered between the two target positions. When a target pops up, make a small adjustment left or right and fire immediately. This center-biased aim gives you the fastest reaction time since you never have to pan across the entire range. Do not wait for perfect accuracy; getting an arrow on target quickly matters more than hitting a bullseye.

After the Contest

Once you hit all 10 targets before your opponent, the contest ends. Find Duane waiting outside the archery grounds by the road and speak with him to complete the quest. He is eager to take credit for the win, naturally.

Tips

• Unlimited arrows means you should spam shots rather than aim carefully. Speed wins this contest.

• The targets are not randomized every time. If you lose, retry with the same general left/right pattern in mind.

• Duane's dialogue after the contest provides some character development for the Greymane companions. Worth paying attention to if you care about the story.
