Skyrim: Saints And Seducers – Bandit Camp Location Guide

The Saints and Seducers content from Skyrim‘s Creation Club will require you to find several camps so that you can gather more information about a rogue conjurer. These campsites contain journals that give clues about Thoron, a powerful mage who needs to be tracked down over the course of two quests.

The quests relating to the Saints and Seducers’ content in Skyrim are “Balance of Power” and “Restoring Order,” which you can commence by talking to the Khajit trader Ri’Saad. If you cannot locate the trader, you will be able to locate the Khajiit trader between Whiterun and Markarth. Since the trader is a part of a caravan, they will often be found traveling between the two cities. If you are unable to locate the Caravan, you can wait outside Whiterun or Markarth for them to show up. Once you speak to Ri’Saad, you can begin Skyrim‘s Saints & Seducers questline.

How to Beat Saints & Seducers

Best Weapons & Strategy

You will first need to complete the “Balance of Power” quest by traveling to the locations of the four bandit camps. However, only two camp locations will be marked on Skyrim‘s massive map. Head to the two camps and clear them of enemies to get more information about the other two campsites. However, it is worth mentioning that these camps contain some tough enemies. Therefore, it would be prudent to be well-prepared and use some of Skyrim‘s Best Armor & Weapons.

Skyrim’s “
Balance of Power”
quest for yourself:

While it’s possible to start Restoring Order without clearing out the other pair of either Saints or Seducer camp, you must vanquish the bandits in all four campsites to complete Balance of Power fully. This will require some good weapons and a clean strategy to complete. The Chillrend Sword, shown in the video below, is an excellent weapon to help you get through the early hours of Skyrim, but players should be aware that it scales with the player’s level, meaning if you grab it early, it will not be as powerful as it would be if you get it later.

There are other interesting weapon choices early on as well. If you are not relying on many spells, looking at the various Bound weapons, like the Bound Battleaxe and Bound Bow, can be excellent choices for doing a lot of damage without taking up any inventory space. The Bow might come in handy for the bandit camps in particular, as there are several archers in each camp, and being able to take them out early and from a distance will be quite useful.

Another weapon that can be found and used early and deals a lot of damage is the Mace of Molag Bal. It can be found in a different bandit camp by rescuing a Boethea worshipper and returning him to Molag’s Shrine. It deals a lot of damage and can be effective for a large part of the game. It will help you beat the Bandit Leaders who are tougher and bigger than their bandit friends. Additionally, having heavy damage may mitigate some of the danger of the bandits with heavy shields.

For ranged damage that is not as reliant on magic, you should check out the Elven Bow. It can be found in Jorrvaskr and can either be acquired through expert-level lockpicking, or you can just steal it if you get the right angle on the display case. This can be helpful for clearing out the archers and taking out some of the lower-level bandits from a distance before they all rush toward you. Clearing out as many as you can at range will help you in the long run.

Skyrim’s Saints & Seducers Bandit Camp Locations

All Four Bandit Camps Revealed

The first bandit campsite is located between Fort Kastav and Yorgrim Overlook, northwest of Windhelm. Before heading to these campsites, take out the archers first to easily battle with other enemies. Once you have dealt with all the archers, you will eventually fight a Bandit leader at each campsite location. After beating the leader, loot their body and read the Journal. This Journal will reveal the Svarig’s location, the next Seducers bandit camp. Svarig’s encampment can be found east of the first Seducers bandit camp in Skyrim, directly below the Forsaken Cave.

As for the Saints’ first bandit camp’s location, it is near North Brittleshin Pass. To get there, follow the road from Whiterun and head southwest towards Lake Ilinalta. After looting the leader’s journal, Skyrim fans can find the next named boss of the Saints, Kinthal, whose camp is located east of Skyrim‘s map between Karthwasten and Broken Tower Redoubt. Check out both Saints and Seducers camp locations for yourself in the 30-minute playthrough from SpaceEagle below:
