About Bonfires

Successfully lighting a bonfire and clearing out all of the enemies awards Takkar with a varying amount of XP and Population (depending on difficulty), a Fast Travel point, a Spawn Point, and access to his Stash.

The level of difficulty does not change in respect to the player’s current level or progress in the story. For example, a highly leveled and well-equipped player can easily accomplish a Hard rated bonfire, while a newer player with a less diverse skill set may struggle.

Securing the Bonfire Camp

Scout the area out with your Owl making sure to locate the Elite Slingers first. These are the priority target as taking them out prevents reinforcements from being called.

If you have learned Owl Attack II from the Beast Master Skill Tree, you can take down the Elite Slingers without even entering the camp!

You don’t need to kill caged animals and enemy Villagers to complete the bonfire.

Bonfires have fewer enemies guarding them in comparison to Outposts, making night or day raids fairly easy.

Lighting the Fire

You can light the fire at any point during your attack, but doing so attracts the attention of the enemies. This is the easiest objective of the raid, and in general should be accomplished once all enemies are eliminated.

Light the tall pillar of wood by carrying fire with any of your melee weapons over to the wood. Hold (R2/RT) to hold your weapon out and light the Bonfire. You can also light one of your arrows on fire with Animal Fat or one of the local fire sources (lit torch or campfire) and shoot the lit arrow into the stack of wood. Using an arrow prevents you from causing damage to your melee weapons.
