The main objective of this quest is to recapture the Caer Bronach stronghold from highwaymen. Completing this mission will not only earn you experience, Influence, and Power points but will also grant you access to the dam, which is required to complete the Still Waters side quest.
It is recommended that you complete this quest when you have reached at least level 12. The enemies inside the stronghold are tough, and you will have to fight their leader.
When you approach the stronghold’s main entrance, destroy the gate using either your melee weapons or offensive spells. You can either head straight into the first yard or defend outside of the keep at the destroyed gate. You will encounter Highwayman Foot Soldiers, Highwayman Archers on rooftops, and Armored Mabari, which you should slow down before they reach your weaker party members.
After eliminating the first wave of enemies, start moving across the keep. You will encounter more enemies and additional reinforcements. Setting traps on their routes, such as explosive runes, is recommended. You should also prioritize killing the enemy archers. Attack Highwayman Guardsmen from the side.
Take the stairs to the upper level, where you will encounter the last group of opponents (M13,5a). The Highwayman Chief will join this fight after a while. Make sure to avoid the boss’s stronger melee attacks and rely on electricity-based attacks as the boss is vulnerable to them. After defeating the Chief, loot his corpse, where you should find a legendary weapon, The Last Stand Maul.
To officially seize Caer Bronach, take the last stairs to the North-Western part of the fort. Find the interactive point and press the appropriate key/button to set the Inquisition flag.
Since you have already seized the keep, you can now resume the Still Waters side quest.
