The Man Trapped in the Mire is another Hernand in Chaos request. It is shorter than Trial After Trial, but it reinforces the same Chapter 2 investigation loop: talk, track, fight, inspect, and report.
Screenshot Walkthrough
Speak with Ibano
Start by talking to Ibano in town after taking the Notice Board request. His testimony points you toward a bandit camp connected to the growing unrest around Hernand.
Clear the Bandits
Ride to the marked camp and remove the enemies before searching. Do not sprint through the camp after the fight; the important clue can be easy to miss if you only follow the road marker.
Recover the Elixir
Use Visione on the memory fragment and collect the strange elixir in the area. Bring the information back to Ibano to finish the request and push the larger guild plot forward.
Quick Tips
- Search after combat, not during it.
- Use short counters if bandits surround you near camp tents.
- Make sure the quest log updates before fast traveling away.
