Blood on the Sand [SQ] | Chapter 8 - Alester Sarwyck Game of Thrones Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

King's Landing Sewers

Point 1

This quest is available after ending the main quest in 8th chapter and you can complete it only in this chapter. It's worth it, because you get no less than 8 golden dragons. When you add money from the bets, you have a big amount of money for an equipment. Before you begin the quest, buy wildfire oil and healing potions, they may be useful.

Go to the arena and talk with Ossifer. He'll offer you the first encounter, and you agree. Moneys are bad, but it'll be better.

First encounter is an unpleasant surprise. You'll have to fight against three enemies and one of them has poison weapon. It's the short sword, so focus on the enemy with it and kill him quickly. Stun them and knock down. Also fire will be useful. In this battle good solution is to use skills with area damage.

After fight demand half incomes from bets instead of the pay you agreed before with Ossifer. He'll agree.

Point 2

After the first fight, Rupert shows up in the preparation room. You can bet (and arrange) fights with him. Listen carefully to his instructions. No matter if you want play good or dirty, you can bet 20 silver coins to multiply your money. Rupert will also advice you how to get a support of the crowd, what is useful when you lose the fight on the purpose. Before every fight you can check how much the crowd likes you and what the bets are.

Point 3

Your second opponent is Ser Symon. Tough warrior, who will be healing often during the encounter. If you interrupt it, you'll defeat him easily. Use the standard tactics. If you spare him after the fight, he'll pay you well for it, when you talk with him later.

Before the third fight, you'll be accosted by the arena guard, your opponent's brother. If you agree to spare enemy (when crowd wants his blood) you get another 20 silver coins. Bayard isn't too difficult so classic tactic fire + stun/knock down should be enough. If you let him live, talk to his brother later and you get money.

Fourth enemy is a water dancer, Alequo. He likes to stun so do it as a first and interrupt his skills. If you avoid stunning the battle will be easy. If you spare him, you will be able to talk with him later.

Fifth fight is a team battle. You can choose a partner from those enemies you spare. Ser Symon is the best option - he is strong and thanks to healing is tough to get rid of. Of course, other guys have other values - choice is yours.

You stand against two warriors from the Iron Islands. As usual in team fight, try to focus on one enemy and then finish off the other.

Before the fight with Lucifer, last opponent, Rupert tells you that crowd bets 4:1 against you and Ossifer double the max bet. Put 40 silver coins on you and enter the arena.

Lucifer is the toughest enemy in all game so far. Key to the win is quick knocking down, stun and Wildfire. He has crazy amount of health and the Wildfire may take 1/4th of it at once, so do not hesitate. Save energy for knocking him down, to practically immobilize him. Heal yourself if it's necessary during the battle.

After victory get your gold from Rupert and Ossifer. Everyone will be astonished, and the organizer, thanks to money he made, get retired. Rupert joins him.
