Go through the front entrance of Raedric's Hold. We are trying to rack up as many kills as possible for the Super Murderer achievement, so there won't be any sneak tactics here. Kill the guards out the front and move in. There is a pretty tough battle here, so make sure to use tactics, spells, skills and potions to win the battle. This was the first time I was challenged in regard to the health of one of my companions so be wary. There is another battle just up the steps as well so be prepared for a challenge. If a party member falls during battle, they will get back up at the end of it, but their endurance will be lower. If this falls to zero, the party member will be dead, so make sure to camp between battles when you can to restore lost endurance. At this stage, you might be running out of room in your inventory and stash. Although you could only pick up the worthwhile things, it's going to be important to have as much money as possible, so I would suggest the painfully annoying task of going back and forth to sell things off when you're full. Make sure to collect the meat in one of the barrels around here, because now you can craft a savory pie:

Savory Pie (food 4/5)

Don't go through the big stained glass; instead go through the smaller door to the left of the stairs. This will take you up to the next level of the exterior for more fighting and looting. There is a door you can enter up here to find some locked chests and loot, then head around and clear out this upper level of the exterior of enemies and loot. At this point we are going to head inside, so I first recommend heading back to any area that has a merchant and sell off all of your useless items for a nice haul of money (I chose the Black Hound Inn at Gilded Vale and had a nice sleep for some important buffs). Then return to the front of the castle, but don't cross the moat bridge. Instead go around to the right and enter the interact with the grate around the side of the castle. You should have a prybar in your stash so use it to bend the bars and swim through.

This dungeon has quite a few traps so it's best if you stay in scouting mode the whole way through this level. In the room with containers 6 and 7 is a set of ladders that you can go up to collect some more loot and fight some more people on the exterior, then return through the same trap door back to the dungeon. Keep fighting and collecting everything you can. When you get to a set of four jail cells around the center of the map, leave them locked for now. We'll come back here once we've cleared the dungeon of enemies. Move northwest from here through two rooms and talk to Osrya. Choose the [Honest] option, then ask about Waidwen's Legacy.

[Honest 2 – Level 1]

Also ask why there is no cure yet, then attack. Collect everything in the room (including a cat that can replace your dog companion) then go back to the locked cell if you've cleared out the rest of the dungeon. Unlock the northern cell door and speak to Giacco. Make the assumption that he ended up here by storming the keep, and then ask him about Osrya. Tell him that Osrya is dead and that he is free and should make a run for it.

Now head in a northwest direction and take the stairs to the next level of the keep. Don't do anything on this level. Instead, take the next set of stairs right next to the last to go to the final level of the keep.

Although the chests in this room contain some robes that can be used to blend in, don't do that; we want to keep our kill count rising. Continue around in a circular fashion until you reach the southwest corner. There is a door here that leads to the final exterior area and also a table containing, importantly, an egg. If you have been collecting everything up to this point, you should now be able to craft the Farmer's Spread food for our next achievement:

Chef
Created 5 or more different food items

That leaves us with only one crafting achievement to complete (apply 5 different enchantments), so let's start (and hopefully finish) it now. If you enter your inventory and press Y over an item you have equipped, you will see an option to enchant; select it. Now select an enchantment that can be applied. I chose "Burning Lash" for my weapon. I was also able to apply "Fine" to my shield and "Of Constitution" to my armor. I was able to apply "Damaging 1" and "Accurate 1" to one of my other character's weapons. For some reason my achievement didn't drop, so I applied one more ("Of Dexterity" for my ranger's armor) and then the achievement dropped.

Enchanter
Applied 5 or more different enchantments

Just an important note: The enchantments MUST be different so although it may be tempting, don't apply any enchantments that you already have. If you can't find 5 (or 6) different enchantments that you can apply right now, keep track of which ones you have applied and come back later.

At this point, I was pretty full in the inventory department, so I took a quick break to Black Hound Inn, then came right back to this same point. Now continue out of this room and to the northeast to encounter Nedmar. Suggest that he doesn't like Kolsc very much. Ask how he knew you were here on behalf of Kolsc, then tell Nedmar you're here to face Redric. Ask to know more about Giacco and Osrya's experiments, then tell him that Giacco is safe. Ask him what the key opens and that you thought he would favour Kolsc, then tell Nedmar you need to rest. When you wake up, choose the [Honest] option.

[Honest 3 – Level 1]

You can unlock the door to the northwest with your new key, but we aren't going to go this way. Instead, go back to where you first entered this area and back down the steps to the previous level of the keep.

SCOUTING – Container (contains Fine Scepter, Peridot and Amethyst x2)

Raedric is in the northeast corner so check out all of the other rooms first if you are collecting everything (again, I suggest that you do for the money we will need later). In the east (just below the large room that Raedric is in) you can find the body of a woman and a trapped chest.

I was pretty full again at this point, but chose to push on, as we only have the one room left. I also chose to camp out at this point, to make sure everyone was full health and spells for the battle. You can open the door in this eastern room to gain access to this last room and confront Raedric.

Ask him if Kolsc is his cousin, ask him what he's lost, then choose the [Passionate] option, then the next [Passionate] option to start the fight.

[Passionate 6 – Level 1]

Focus on the spellcasters first then on the knights. This is a really tough battle, so you will need to concentrate on pausing, casting spells and skills, and healing. You may lose a few party members during the fight but keep on the assault and you should prevail. Don't forget to loot what you can (leave behind any cheap items like hoods and capes if you can't carry everything). There is a secret compartment on the throne with some extra loot too.

If you move to leave this room through the large doors to the south, Kolsc will arrive. Speak to him to complete this long side quest. Take this opportunity to speak at length with Durance. Exhaust every conversation option you have. We can now leave to the Black Hound for some much-needed rest and selling of loot. Now head to Caed Nua (you will need to travel to Black Meadow first, then exit to the east of this map).

Summary

Passionate: Level 1

Honest: Level 1

Benevolent: Level 1

Diplomatic: Level 1

Companions: 3 of 8

Food Crafting: Complete

Scroll Crafting: Complete

Potion Crafting Complete

Trap Setting Complete

Enchantments: Complete

Total Enemies Defeated: 295 of 1200

A few notes:

From now on, I won't be listing the crafting in the summary, as they are all completed
I will begin to write a goal for the total number of enemies defeated as a reminder of the achievement. At this point in time, I have 295 of 1200 required kills.
From now on, I won't be listing how many points I have sunk in to each disposition; I will only list the level they have reached out of the required 3 (we need 3 different dispositions level 3 for the achievement).
I also won't be listing what is in every container, unless it is important or rare. There are heaps of map guides on the internet that list these things, if you want to collect everything. We've completed all of the crafting achievements at this stage, so collecting everything is more a matter of money than anything else.
