Better late than never but a small tip, if you're in need of eggs you can use a pick or a hatchet to harvest large quantities. They're hard to hit and you have to crouch as soon as you swing but it is possible and gets you a ton of eggs really quickly.
thank you for your videos, I'm new to Conan exiles and learned a lot from them 🙂 You could have reset the named taskmaster by recalling back your companion and running all the way to the entrance of the cave just enough for it to break pursuit, don't go too far out or it will respawn it in a different thrall, they reset back to original position with full health. Had to use this trick many time when my Greater Shaleback aoed the named and I wasn't doing enough concussive damage to capture without they at full health.
Another goody. I think it took me at least 8 Seths to get that dang truncheon - died once doing it too! Later, I got the legendary weapon called Lovetap from the scorpion bosses chest.
Recently bought this game and love your videos!!! The game is so much fun and so versatile with what you can do. I bought Ark first and I like it, but this game is much more forgiving in the sense that you don't spawn in and are immediately met by a Spino or something haha Love the thrall system and haven't quite got into building just yet, but seen some videos and the builds can be really creative. Would be great if you could actually command a small army though. Thanks for the videos and I've learned a lot from this series and your walkthrough series. In fact, the authority perk tree could have been better if each perk just allowed you an extra follower
The big 3.0 update was to make the thralls less OP, so you can be more of the hero. But they still give you the Authority stat that you can max out to make either 1 thrall really strong, or have 2 strong'ish thralls with you. There is a mod that allows you to have 10 with you but for a survival game designed around 1 follower I think that is way to "cheaty".
@@AngaarUK I'd agree that 10 would make it too easy. I think 3 could have been a good balance. However, 1 with well trained is very strong. I've heard there is armour that boosts followers attack by 50% and so I'll look out for that. Great game though and enjoying your videos :) Been learning different things and struggled when I first started. Your base looks amazing!!!
in my guide and play i show how to use H. gifts to make variable elixirs....concussive damage is one of the variable effects. also blunted arrows work very well for me compared to truncheons especially when you are corrupted.
@Angaar the gas orbs are slow, but you aren't pulling any aggro, honestly using a blunt javelin seems faster than any truncheon I've seen. Mind you, I max out my authority really quick.
@kevinmeyers7821 according to the wiki the blunted javelin does 20 concussive damage. Szeths Truncheon does 45 light or 50 heavy, and an Advanced blunted mod adds +30!
Could you log off then log back in to bring Tessa to you? I have killed Seth 10 times in a row and not gotten the truncheon. I've captured two named dancers in different playthroughs, great fighters. The First was in the north and her name was Dances-with-Bears. I haven't found her since. She was fantastic and ended up with close to 6k hp. The second was Steps-on-Toes and I'm developing him now.
If you log out your follower goes to Scouting and will just stand there, weirdly she was just treading water in noob river when I got back to her. Them getting stuck in the water is something I have seen several times 🙁
11:56 is why I have decided to say "fuk it!!" to followers. If you're going to have crappy pathing and no teleport-to-player, then thralls are way more trouble than they're worth. I have even gone around the map in the South and created bridges in pathing issue spots where I travel a ton and STILL they find a way to get stuck EVERYWHERE!!😠 Climbing or taking shortcuts. Jumping off mountains, swimming, Hauling A on a horse means they may catch up by tomorrow and may bring "frirnds" with them.They cannot do anything. Frustrating to say the least. I unintentionally farmed him after dying 3x to the boss and a few other times prior, and never got the truncheon after at least 6x. You lucky bar Stewart. 😝✌🏼 19:22 You're going to have to build a bigger ship, the highest stage crafting benches are humongous!! High and wide.
While they do sometimes get stuck, it is few and far between. However the good thing about 3.0 is you can just make yourself stronger and ignore followers. The ship is purely a starter base, I will make a much bigger base further north soon.
@@AngaarUK Well, you're lucky, brother, it happens constantly to me. Going into the Wine Cellar was frustrating for instance. My thrall would not go in no matter what I did and then she disappeared. As I was going through she would level up, too. I had her marked and it showed her at the Cellar, but when I went out she wasn't. Anyway, it happened way to much to be worth it for me. I'm an archer, so most things are dead before I get close enough to fight, anyway.✌🏼
No buffs or blunts or points in authority you can take out tier I - III. Its has to be your character not a thrall they don't do anything oh named thralls with the gold border are are tier III it seems. Ones with the skull are tier 4 and you just end up killing them. With full points in authority my character and a thrall just go though Sinners Refuge knocking them all out with steel trudgens and blunts
Great video Angaar! so the bunt fittings have +4 cd for simple, +8 cd for normal and +12 cd for advanced (cd = concussive damage). Also i read on a forum that +cd % on armors is bugged and dont add for players but only for thralls, so idk if it was patched as i didn't do any testing in that regard but just wanted to add this info maybe someone can correct me.
@@bullwyrk I didn’t look at numbers but compared to wearing the encumbrance armor vs the concussive armor, I was able to knock them out faster and with less damage to the target. That is still sub level 60. I’ve taken numerous t4 thralls as well as a relic hunter. I also use light armor and no thralls most of the time. I’m still using an iron truncheon.
@@thorsforge2905 Ok man, i believe you. They did patch some stuff since the 3.0 droped ... I saw that the horse is much easier to mount now. But didn't get to test the other stuff thats why i was looking for some numbers.
I got Seth's truncheon on the 3rd or 4th attempt. Since then I have killed him more than 50 times and I have not had another truncheon. I got 3 truncheons prior to 3.0 from far fewer kills. Maybe they have adjusted the RNG to make it less frequent! 😒
Just wondering if when looking at recruiting it's best to equip your thrall with a low offense shield and truncheon? That way wouldn't the thrall take the aggro but block and then you can whack away from behind and cause the more concussive damage?
Tessa the Blade shenanigans 🤣 Coming out of the wine cellar and seeing her just leg it made me laugh out loud! 🤣
Wait a second, I missed some episodes and now you have a ship?!? I need to go back and get caught up. Will watch this later!
Everyone needs a ship 😂
Last episode, friend.✌🏼
Well done, Angaar! I enjoyed this episode. Soon I will start looking for better Thralls! Thank you for the video!
that moment when Tessa was like "nope, not doing this again, I'm out" xD
The ship looks really cool with the lights. 🙂
You have an agility build. Make blunted arrows with the lowest level bow. You will do lots of concussive damage without killing them
Can’t wait till the next one! Excellent as always! Thank you!
As a new player to Conan these videos are really helping me out. Thx so much!
That's for the awesome video

Respawns for NPCs by default is 15 minutes. Respawns for chests by default is 30 minutes.
What about NPCs with chest?
@@tyrendian8738 15 times 30?
Go ahead and add a fitting to your iron truncheon and assist in the knockout. It will go even faster. After you kill all the other adds of course.
It turns out it was much more efficient to set Tessa on Attack Nothing, get her to pull but not attack and use Szeth’s Truncheon myself
@@AngaarUK Ah! Noted...
*g* this never happened to me that they punched and let the weapon stuck ^^ What a great thing :D
Great video.
Nice Vid Angaar, Thank You

You should try Szeth's truncheon... so much faster!

I don't think I have EVER gotten the truncheon in the first try!
Defo a first for me! 😎
@Angaar where did you fine Tessa thrul please?
She is one of the random named fighters you get on noob river, she happened to be the spawn across the river from my base
I got Seth's truncheon on the 3rd or 4th attempt. Since then I have killed him more than 50 times and I have not had another truncheon. I got 3 truncheons prior to 3.0 from far fewer kills. Maybe they have adjusted the RNG to make it less frequent! 😒

Worth a try, or just set them to attack nothing. Command them to go in to pull agro, then command them to stop, leaving you free to do the knock out.
@@AngaarUK with well trained I managed to get a named thrall with a level 1 fighter. Both me and thrall armed with steel truncheon though
@@daveyfunk Yeah once you have 10 points in authority and an iron truncheon with the blunted mod it is all good from there
Why have your thrall knock them out? Easier to do it yourself isnt it?
Just wanted to see if it was doable. Turns out I can knick them out quicker myself, but good to know Tessa can do it too 😎
The big statues aren’t on my game the sentinels?
Guessing you are on console? Hearing from a few people they are missing on console, mainly PlayStation
@@AngaarUK Xbox
@@AngaarUK might download for my pc
If i place a shield in my thralls inventory, will they use it?
They will but the AI isn’t clever enough to use them properly. They will stand blocking when they shouldn’t and not block when they should 😂
Angaar I can't get into the server. Write down the name of the server, maybe that's how I'll succeed.
Details are in the DM
Were that on the map
North side of G4
Nice one 🙂 waiting for the next ark video.
How on earth u craft a ship? Can teach us?
IIRC he built this in episode 7. The entire episode was how he built the ship.
As Randall said, I built it in Ep.7 😃
@@AngaarUK Thanks mate
No way, i killed seth maybe 20 times, never dropped the truncheon😡😡
