The Onyx Watchtower Dry Steppes Stronghold

In-Game Description

A trader’s way station overrun by thieves and murderers.

Objective 1: Explore the Onyx Watchtower

This Objective simply requires you to run into the first group of Bandits.

Objective 2: Purge the bandits and raze their encampment

You will see many diamonds all over your mini-map, these are structures that can be destroyed and will add to the bar. Likewise, defeating bandits in general will also fill it, you won’t need to destroy everything to complete this objective.

Objective 3: Slay the Captain’s lieutenants

You will get this Objective along with Objective 2 and you must defeat all of the ‘boss’ enemies in this area. Of special note is Tilda to the north, who will drop the Storehouse Key when defeated. Take this to the cavern to the east and open the gate to find another lieutenant along with a Resplendent Chest.

Once both Objectives have been completed, you’ll obtain the final one.

Objective 4: Slay Captain Ezmin

Captain Ezmin is the final boss of the Stronghold, and acts like a tougher version of the assassin style bandits. The largest threat, however, are the large number of reinforcements that Ezmin will call out, especially the Firebrands. Once she’s below half health, she will conjure flaming circles around the arena, keep on the move to avoid getting damaged by them.
