Appears in
Forge It AnewIn this quest Coen reforges a broken sword from three scattered shards and its hilt. The result, the Imbued Sword of St. Mihai, is one of the strongest weapons in the game and worth the long chase.
Military CheckpointsMilitary checkpoints are guarded soldier posts on the roads of Vale Sangora. They get in your way once Brencis's men start watching for you, so it pays to know when to fight and when to slip past.
Good to know
- Some soldiers wear chainmail, and some are heavy soldiers.
- Guards return to their posts once you break off a fight.
- Swordmastery manuals can be found on soldiers.
- A soldier camp on the road in north St. Tyna's Grove is one place to find the Artery Strike manual.
- A guarded soldiers' camp in the Tantari swamps holds a shard of Saint Mihai's sword in Forge It Anew.
Behaviour
They work in groups at checkpoints and camps. Heavy and chainmail-armoured soldiers soak more hits, so plan your damage abilities for them.
How to beat them
Read the direction of each attack and block to match, and look for perfect blocks to open counters. Break off and they head back to their posts, which gives you a way out of a fight going badly.
Drops
Swordmastery manuals turn up on soldiers, so loot every body. Their camps also hold quest items, like the sword shard in the Tantari swamps.

Kobolds are cannibal creatures that live in burrows, mines and caves. They can speak human language. They are cowards alone but dangerous in a pack, so never fight them in a narrow spot.
