Tips

• The mounted bandit is a ranged enemy — use arrows to eliminate him without hitting the horse
• Harming the horse triggers a bounty system penalty — always use ranged attacks or crowd control
• A progress bar on the left tracks enemy control percentage — aim for 0% to complete the quest
• If you can't find remaining enemies, check the encampment off the side of the bridge
• This quest introduces location capture mechanics used throughout Chapter 2
• The floodgate and bridge are key to Hernand's survival — this mission sets up the town's fate
