Background

Odo has called upon all the descendents of the Legion to gather at the Montbarron Estate. He hopes to build a new Legion and restore the fallen kingdom of Ehb.

Walkthrough

Travel to the Montbarron Estate

For this objective you’ll just need to follow the patch from your starting position (#1) to the estate entrance (#2). Nothing will attack you during this trek, so take the opportunity to examine your character and get used to how the interface works.

Look for Survivors

As you explore the estate, you’ll find some dead legionnaires and some discarded letters, plus some treasure containers ($) that you’ll be able to loot for improved gear, plus some barrels and urns that will drop gold and health orbs when you destroy them. You’ll also encounter some enemies, always in groups of two or more, and so you should make sure that your character is prepared for group attacks.

Eventually, when you approach the Escape Tunnel (Exit A), you’ll meet up with Marten Guiscard, another survivor of the attack. He’ll tell you that he’s set up some explosives on the bridge (#3), and that you’ll be able to use them to cover your escape.

Destroy the Bridge

You’ll find three powder kegs on the bridge (#3). You’ll just need to light all three. Nothing will attack you during this time, and you’ll automatically protect yourself from the explosion.

Note: Before lighting the third keg, you might want to travel to the southern side of the bridge and break open the barrels there.
