Walkthrough
- 1Head north from Hernand toward Karin Quarry, marked on the map
- 2Locate the Excavatron arena gate north of the city — the main gate is locked
- 3Climb the hill and enter the arena from the west or south side to bypass the locked gate
- 4Approach Marni's Excavatron and engage the boss fight
- 5Defeat the Excavatron using patience and dodging — stun it with Force Palm for openings
- 6After the boss is defeated, head into Karin Quarry proper to face the Bleed Bandits
- 7Clear bandits in the four areas: Infirmary, Timber Warehouse, Barracks, and quarry center
- 8Reduce the green progress bar from 100% to 0% by dealing damage to enemies
- 9Use explosive barrels scattered throughout to efficiently clear groups
- 10Once the bar reaches 0%, Karin Quarry is fully liberated for House Roberts
Tips
- Before entering, upgrade your sword and armor at Turnali blacksmith in Hernand
- Stock plenty of food and Palmar Pills before facing the Excavatron
- For the Excavatron: stun with Force Palm when drills light up, then use heavy combos
- Don't use shield against Excavatron drills — they bypass defenses, dodge instead
- When Excavatron goes underground, sprint away from its position rather than dodge rolling
- For Karin Quarry: enter from high ground to target archers first
- Detonate explosive barrels near grouped enemies for massive area damage
- If you die before defeating the Excavatron, your progress resets only for the boss
