Harper Branthos Convoy Ambush Strategy
Navigating the ambush involving Harper Branthos and Kar'niss's convoy requires tactical awareness for optimal outcomes.
Initial Approach
When encountering the convoy, the most advantageous initial move is to stay hidden and observe. This allows events to unfold naturally. Kar'niss, the drider leading the convoy, will become enraged by a questioning Goblin and eliminate them. This action effectively removes an enemy from the subsequent fight before it even begins.
Initiating Combat
Once Kar'niss has dealt with the Goblin, you will be prompted to make your presence known. At this juncture, you should signal to the Harpers to indicate your readiness to attack. This coordinated strike is key to gaining an early advantage.
Harper Contingencies
- Branthos's Survival: While protecting Branthos is ideal, the quest can proceed even if he falls during the ambush.
- Lassandra's Role: If Branthos is killed and Lassandra is present, she will take the lead in interactions with your party and ensure the quest's continuation. Lassandra, Karrow, Meygan, and Yonas are notable level 5 Harpers in Act Two, making them more resilient allies.
Post-Ambush Rewards
Successfully assisting the Harpers in the convoy ambush has benefits. For instance, if you are seeking the Moonlantern, continuing to aid the Harpers will lead to its recovery relatively quickly.
