Military Checkpoints
Military 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.

Found in
- Carpathian MountainsThe Carpathian Mountains are the range that surrounds Vale Sangora. You never leave the valley, but the peaks frame every view and hide places like the Uriash village.
Vale SangoraVale Sangora is the valley in the Carpathian Mountains where the game takes place. Brencis's vampires rule it, and you have 30 days to free your family from them.
Good to know
- Checkpoints appear across the valley with the second Infamy Edict, and the sixth Edict adds more.
- Getting caught at a checkpoint costs a time segment.
- Patrol commanders recognise Coen from Edict 4, and every soldier does from Edict 7, when Headhunters also start hunting him.
- Clearing one moves time forward.
- Enemies you sneak past can be left behind.
- Soldier posts often hold a lootable chest. Sweep the area with Focus Mode to spot it.
What you do
You meet soldiers posted across a road. You can fight them, sneak around them or take another route. Fighting costs time, while slipping past does not commit you to a fight.
When they appear
Infamy Edicts are announced a day before they take effect. Once the second one lands, expect checkpoints on the main roads. Defeating each of the three vassals raises Infamy by a full level, so the roads get busier after every boss.
Worth knowing
If you only want to travel, going around is usually the cheaper choice. If you want loot, clear the post and check it with Focus Mode. After Edict 7, stay away from military groups on the road.

In 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.

The Firebrand

A Lone Wolf's Hunt
A Lone Wolf's Hunt is the ending you get by storming Greifberg Castle on your own, without Crake's or Lacra's help. It ends in the final fight with Brencis, so save before you go in.
