Walkthrough

  • Gain your mission from Hieronymus.
  • Talk to any Gate Sentry in any area currently under control of your nation. They can be found at the gates to other zones.
  • This will trigger a NPC "Reinforcement" to appear. You will have 30 minutes to bring him to the stronghold.
    • Talk to the Reinforcement to start him moving. He will follow you whereever you go, so try to avoid aggro.
    • The NPC tends to run away. Before running, he will always say something like "Huh? Was that an enemy scout?!", "I am worried about the soldiers back at the garrison. I have to see if they are all right" or "You are all slower than turtles!".
    • The person he is currently following should keep eye contact. It's best to run ahead a few yalms then turn around, and repeat this. Obstructions and terrain elevation sometimes make this difficult (especially in Grauberg (S)). Keep your cursor on him at all times, so you won't waste time targeting.
    • To get him back to following you, just click on him again.
  • Talk to the NPC at the stronghold to end the escort.
  • Report back to Hieronymus to complete the mission.
Note
  • Only one group can do this Campaign Ops at a time (i.e. only one reinforcement NPC per zone) so you may have to wait for another group to finish. In this case the Gate Guard will say "The troops you are to guide to the stronghold have not arrived yet. Please wait a little longer.
  • May be difficult for Grauberg (S) due to difficulty to see because of height elevations.
  • If you are at a low level, you may want to have Sneak up to avoid aggro in Grauberg (S).
  • It is speculated that doing this Campaign Ops influences the number of Campaign Battle NPC's that appear at the outpost fortifications.
  • Rewarded exp and allied notes are the same for any area.
  • The Reinforcement runs faster than in Vanguard-X I (B), Sprinter's Shoes are reccomended.
