One of the most frustrating quests in Conqueror’s Blade is the quest or mission to destroy X amount of large artillery pieces (picture below).
Even after playing many hours and destroying dozens of various cannons and other artillery a player is shocked to discover that they have destroyed still zero!
I don’t know if this is a bad English issue or simply the game doing a terrible job in guiding the player…
What the game’s definition is for Large Artillery pieces:
So for the game these are, essentially:
- Battering Rams
- Siege Towers
- Trebuchet (see note below)
- Catapults (harder to find)
- Special / my solution (see below)
I have seen a lot of players complain that it is impossible or extremely difficult to do this because, as a castle defender, most of the time your cannons are destroyed very fast giving you no chance to shoot down Battering Rams and Siege Towers.
Using own cannon:
Some players recommend putting your own green cannon a bit far from the wall and shoot with it, which is definitely one way of doing it, although, still, depending on the castle and battle this can also be destroyed or you may simply not have the time to do the job alone until the Siege Tower reaches your castle wall.
About Trebuchet:
The Trebuchet has a huge amount of Health and if you have the idea to run to them and try to destroy one with your bare hands (and weapon) then forget about it – it can be done but would take a VERY long time.
Other Structures
I also saw recommendations that certain town structures may also be considered “large pieces”, but I could not get a confirmation if destroying these works because I blew up a dozen of various buildings and overhangs and still did not get a point for this quest.
An Awesome Solution: My discovery / recommendation!
Just by luck I noticed these anti-arrow protective siege unit structures outside the castle walls. They do nothing at all and are there only for hiding perhaps (or decoration), but I have never seen any player use them.
So I thought would these fall into the category of “large artillery piece”? So I went ahead and destroyed one which was not too difficult and I was very happy to discover that they do count!
Therefore I totally recommend destroying these for this specific Conqueror’s Blade quest and that way you:
- Will not waste a cannon.
- Will not lose too much time.
- Will not be forced to abandon your team and go to the enemy siege area for this quest.
- AND you can get multiple points from one battle (since there are a bunch of them outside)
And here the confirmation that it indeed works:
So there you have it – this post hopefully covers everything you need to know to complete this quest and if someone has any additional Conqueror’s Blade tips regarding this topic of Large Artillery pieces, or knows the name of this artillery piece, please feel free to post in the comments below.
