Full Walkthrough

01 Defeat the Enemies Around Springtide Mill

Head southeast from the City of Hernand, past Muckroot Ranch, to Springtide Mill. The place is packed with Bleed Bandits. There are a lot of them, so try to pull enemies away from the group and deal with them in smaller numbers rather than getting surrounded.

Watch the green occupation bar above the quest title near your minimap. Every enemy you take down chips away at it. You don't need to kill every single bandit: once the bar empties, the remaining ones will scatter and the quest ends.

TipIsolate enemies from the group rather than charging into the middle of the camp. The Bleed Bandits will swarm if you give them the chance.

Tips and Notes

Depleting the green occupation bar before killing every enemy will cause the rest to flee, ending the quest. You don't need a clean sweep, just drain the bar.
