Introduction

Challenges is a side tasks in game. They not required to complete storyline, but can give you extra xp and fun. But they required to finish game on 100% and to achieve “Inconceivable!” achievement.
I wrote this guide because items, required to complete challenge, is hard to find and they not marked on map, unlike other tasks.
I split a guide on locations, because if write everything in one pass, it will too big. Maybe I combine everything into one later.
Items are listed in the order, which they are encountered throughout the game. Of course you can always go back to the desired location and to find the missing items.

Challenge overview

Challenge: Firestarter.
Location: Geothermal Caverns.
You need to find sacks, hanging in different places of this level, and burn them by shooting with flaming arrows. There is 6 sacks and you need find and destroy them all.

I separate this level on three locations: big cave with many caverns, tunnel with cages and cave with praying enemies.

Big cave

You just escaped and now you need cross these caverns and find your friends.
On your way you will find a big cave with 6 caverns (exits).
Caverns clockwise:

  • 1 you just arrived
  • 2 dead end
  • 3 dead end with sack
  • 4 & 5 connected by corridor with sack
  • 6 exit with door, which you need to blow

Sack #01 Ceiling

Go in center of big cave and take a look on ceiling. Sack hangs on ceiling between 1st and 2nd caverns.

Sack #02 Third cavern

Go in 3rd cavern. Attentively observe ceiling of this cavern, because this sack is hard to sight. He is hangs above wooden ceiling.

Sack #03 Fourth and fifth cavern

Go in 4th (or 5th) cavern. Sack hangs near 5th exit.

Corridor with cages

Blow the door and proceed your path.
Soon you find a room with closed door, which you can’t open. You need solve a little puzzle and climb on catwalk above this door.

Sack #04 Above door, below catwalk

Now you standing on catwalk above the door. Sack hangs below catwalk and above door. Jump down and turn on door or just go forward and try shoot sack from catwalk.

Sack #05 Far corner

When you reach end of this corridor you find a high climbable wall. Turn back and observe ceiling. Sack hangs high and far, so be attentive.

Sack #06 Chapel

Climb on wall and soon you find a cave with praying Solarii. Passage, you just coming, separates on two and sack hangs right on point of separations.
