Yet another 300 refference
As you are sneaking through the charr encampment, one of them yells "Kryta will burn to the ground!", spun off from the well known persian quote "Sparta will burn to the ground!" I'unno where to put it in the page, or if it even belongs in this specific page. Trivia section? --Knux 09:40, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. Because something as generic as that is completely original to 300. Yes --Blue.rellik 09:45, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Chances are that it is indeed a 300 reference. Ask Emily if you want to be sure. [[Image:Riven-sig.png]]   15:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow... no. -Kumdori 09:55, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's generic enough that if it was the only possible reference to 300, it would be reasonable to doubt if it really was. But if the same expansion contains several other references to the same movie, it becomes mind-bogglingly unlikely that this is not a reference to it.  It'd be a pretty damn big coincidence for this one not to be when others quite obviously intentionally are.  --68.187.144.197 11:46, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Loop to equipping different weapons
As any character(Saul, Gwen etc), pressing F9 or I does nothing, but the other inventory related F-Keys, F8 for example, work and your normal inventory comes up, letting you change the equipped weapon. Id guess this is a bug, but just wondering if i should add it/someone else wants to? Id assume its the case with all the bonus missions. not tried yet though - Xav 13:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, interesting, that'd mean that you can use consumables, too I'm guessing. [[Image:Riven-sig.png]]   15:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You can use consumables, but they have no effect. Used a Candy Apple, but I didn't get any health or energy bonus.--Murdoc the Mad 21:25, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * That is because your health and energy numbers are set in stone. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (s)talkpage 21:26, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Run in right away, and stand on the far side of the well, but far enough away to not aggro the enemies. When they come in, they'll go after your "party" instead, but one group (of two) at a time.

More specific please? a screenshot would be helpful. 66.32.57.12 16:01, 2 December 2007 (UTC) forgot to log in-Cnk3
 * id like to know to cause i was just 4 or 5 more charr away with no villagers killed, then all of the sudden 1 ran in and died randomly...Raisu 20:26, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

This is how I did it. Honestly it was nothing special. I immediately ran and picked up an explosives and ran and stood at the SE corner of the well, between the well and the stack of boxes on your right. One group of axe fiends runs by you on the left hand side of the well, leave em alone. Another group runs through you on the right hand side of the well. Drop the explosives on em, and then immediately use your stance and ward. Turn your focus onto the casters directly in front of you. The white mantle knights and your allies will take care of the axe fiends behind you. By the time the axe fiends are all dead, there should only be one or two casters left in the middle. At this point, the Krytan villagers will run in and start attacking (stupid little villagers...), so run in yourself (try to stay ahead of them to draw focus of the charr) and start mauling the casters in the back, the ones still standing against the south wall. If there were any casters in the middle remaining, your allies and the white mantle knights should be able to handle them. If things are looking ugly, don't hesitate to use a rations bomb (for healing everybody 100 hp) or a balm bomb (for condition removal).
 * Jeez directly running to an explosive is like instant death XD And there's at least one villager that runs into the mob from the start -.- --Birchwooda Treehug 05:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * How many villagers are there? Now I see no dead villagers but also nothing new in my log, and 8 alive villagers. --Birchwooda Treehug 05:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If a villager dies, you'll see "Historical Debate blah blah." If none of them die, you won't see that and you'll get the bonus once you complete the mission. I have no idea how many there are. --Macros 05:31, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah thank you, noticed it at the end too that the bonus applied. Bit weird to have to discover the bonus in this way, without any help in game. Also I got 500 gold again (article says you only get it the first time per character). At least the chatscreen says so. Screenshot: http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/215/saultl7.gif *click* I already did this mission with that char before. Oh and I can't give any tips. Was mere luck. I hid at the corner of the well that more to the villagers and then I just called the evil Firecharrs as target and healed with the skills given and the things to drop. Was messy and chaotic. --Birchwooda Treehug 05:56, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Now I did it a third time (same 2 bonuses) to check if I get the 2.5k again but I didn't. Got 500 gold again tho. --Birchwooda Treehug 06:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

What i NEED to know is how to do the second bonus of finding the 5 most dangerous places Saul could have passed through. I can't make it into the camps. I get hammered down by hordes of Charr, even if I proceed slowly. Once that Charr alert bar gets filled and groups start spawning, things become impossible. Has anybody successfully completed this bonus?

Ive Beaten the second objective, but it took me over an hour. It involved much running the hell away and use of the elite signet. I dont remember where the map points are, maybe ill do it again and upload to wiki. I do remember also that you pretty much need to kill everything on the map either due to needing to go through them to get to a point, or to prevent them from ambushing/sideswiping you.--Mike The Psycho 10:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Map
Here's a path map, if anyone wants to add to main article or edit as you please. The three wait spots are where you can wait to avoid a charr patrol. There may be more. RoseOfKali 10:33, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Added a Walkthrough map. If someone wants to edit it, the PSD file can be downloaded here (911 kb, packed 7zip archive). Open it in Adobe Photoshop 6 or higher. --Birchwooda Treehug 03:11, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

charr groups that need to be killed
Which groups need to be killed for the discovery? Can anyone make a map or some sort of description of where they are? Thanks. RoseOfKali 19:28, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Try killing everything. It takes a long time, but it's relatively simple. Just remember to use your elite as often as possible, run away with "Form Up and Advance!" whenever needed, and remember that your party will resurrect on its own fairly often. Here is a map in which the yellow dots show the locations. Make sure you get the green text before moving on. Oh, and don't forget to finish the level! --Ryssa 02:20, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
