Location

The camp is hidden in the dense forest of the southern deepwoods, making it difficult to approach unseen. The thick canopy and undergrowth provide natural concealment for the bandits' operations.

Quick Facts

Approach and Terrain

The Southern Deepwoods Bandit Camp is concealed in the dense forest south of the City of Hernand. The thick canopy and heavy undergrowth provide natural cover, so the camp is easy to miss on first approach and easy for bandits to defend. Sight lines are short inside the forest, which tilts the fight toward ambushes and melee skirmishes rather than ranged exchanges.

Like the other bandit strongholds scattered through the Hernand countryside, the camp is a discretionary combat objective. Clearing it removes a hostile patrol zone from the map and typically rewards loot from chests, food caches, and enemy drops.

Enemies

• Bandit melee fighters with swords, clubs, or axes

• Bandit archers positioned on rooftops, watchtowers, or ridges

• A camp captain in the central structure who usually carries the better loot

Rewards and Loot

• Crafting materials from wooden crates and barrels scattered around the camp

• Silver coins and bandit gear from enemy drops

• Occasional recipe scrolls, food rations, and lockboxes

Tips

• Scout the camp from cover first. Counting archers before engaging lets you decide whether to pick them off with ranged skills or charge in melee.

• Stealth takedowns on outer patrols thin the numbers before the alarm is raised.

• Clearing the camp pairs well with collecting any nearby Sealed Abyss Artifact or shrine resources on the same trip.
