Walkthrough
Start from Riverside Province and exit northwest. There will be a group of White Mantle immediately closeby when you appear in Twin Serpent Lakes, which can aggro if you leave them on their own long enough. Head north, going right when you reach the lake, and follow the lake shore north. Go northeast from the lake, and turn left after you pass the mountain, avoiding the large group of White Mantle to the right. Valis and his group will be atop a hill.

Casters can take shelter beside the hill or under the bridge to the right to prevent getting hit by any ranged attacks. In general, going under the bridge gives your party a greater advantage, provided that no party members depend on projectile attacks. A tank can bodyblock any melee foes at the bend of the hill. Valis' group contains two potent healers. The White Mantle Priest has Signet of Binding, so be careful using spirits. Deep Wound helps with defeating the healers quicker, but be sure to have cover conditions.
