Game of Thrones Guide Walkthrough Chapter 7: Stray Dog
Chapter 7: Stray Dog - The Gift
The Gift
Scout The Area Around Yohn’s Camp Without Entering The Center
Objective Point A
You track Yohn down to his camp. From up on the hill overlooking the campsite, you and Patrek discuss an attack strategy. You have two choices: You can rush in and begin the battle immediately, or you can opt to sneak around and take out the perimeter guards first. If you don’t choose the sneaky route and eliminate the outer guards, you’re in for a very difficult battle against Yohn.
Objective Point B
Stay clear of the campfire and sneak around the paths that surround the camp. There are three sets of sentries. Use Dog to silently take out the first one from behind. You also notice that this an excellent vantage point for an archer, which will prove advantageous for the fight against Yohn.
Objective Point C
Repeat your tactics on the second sentry. If you approach from the main path, his back is to you. Rip his throat out without alerting the others.
Objective Point D
The last sentries are a pair. You can use Dog to locate them, but once you get close, switch to Mors and charge in. Once you slay the last two sentries, the campsite no longer has reinforcements. Return to Patrek on the first hill.
Get Rid Of Yohn And His Men Once And For All
Objective Point E
If you found the archer position, order Wat to the overlook for extra support. Let Patrek know you’re ready and confront Yohn and his handful of remaining men. Before you come to blows, Yohn reveals he’s working for Ser Valarr Hill.
It’s a much easier fight if you take out all the sentries first. Keep your party close to Yohn and rotate powerful attacks against him. If you throw a variety of stuns and damaging effects on him, Yohn won’t strike back hard and his men will die in short order without their leader’s powerful presence.
While searching the bodies after the battle, you find Jeyne’s missing valuables, including a ring engraved with a crowned stag, the royal sigil. Jeyne eventually confesses that she’s King Robert Baratheon’s mistress, and you figure that’s a likely reason why these men are out to kill her.
Book Watch: King Robert Baratheon
After the battle with Yohn, Jeyne Greystone reveals that she had an affair with the king. She met Robert Baratheon on one of his hunting expeditions. Jeyne describes him just as we find Robert Baratheon in the novel A Game of Thrones : jovial and tempestuous, always eating and shouting, and yet, he has a deep sorrow inside. Jeyne wisely speculates that he’s unhappy with his marriage to the queen and started their fling as a way to escape from his kingly duties. That same impulsive behavior gets him into trouble in the book.
Speak With Jeyne When You’re Ready To Leave The North For Good
You bid Patrek, Wat, and Myles good-bye as they return to Castle Black. As you head south, it will only be you, Jeyne, and your hound.
After a long march, you camp in the Riverlands for the night. You talk with Jeyne for a while, and you can share stories about your pasts if you choose. You tell her that you’re heading to Westford Cottage, a secluded home that only a few know about. Your wife and daughter hid there when you took the black, and you figure it’s as safe a place as any while you’re on the run with Jeyne. You also desperately want to see your family after 15 years.
