Once the cutscene ends, exit the tower and go north towards Twinedwood. There are three separate outcast camps in the region, but you have to go to Amalia's camp to negotiate with her.

As you approach her camp, Amalia will quickly dismiss all chances of a peaceful negotiation. Your only option now is to infiltrate the Cave camp and the Outcast Tower camp to acquire her banners, forcing her hand in the process. There are two ways of going about this task: either kill all the outcasts and retrieve the banners or stealthily infiltrate and escape without killing anyone.

If you choose to kill all the outcasts, be prepared for a lengthy and tough fight. You have to deal with numerous enemies, including priests, reavers, and ironbreakers. Once the area is clear of all threats, you'll find the banner under an overhanging rock on a wooden platform inside the cave camp.

Meanwhile, the Ruined Tower camp's banner is placed right on top of the tower. You'll have to defeat the outcast wardens below, climb the tower, and retrieve it. Return to Amalia after collecting both banners.

Once Amalia gets to know that you have killed the outcasts, she will turn hostile, and her followers will attack you. Clear the area of threats, eliminate Amalia, and then return to Warden Radut.

Unfortunately, the news about Amalia's death disappoints Radul, and he will ask you to leave. This marks the end of the mission and you'll be rewarded with 10,260 XP.

4) Infiltrate and escape

If you choose not to kill the outcasts, you have to complete the quest stealthily. Approach the Ruined Tower from the rear and make your way up a few wooden ledges. Soon you'll come across wooden platforms that will take you all the way to the top, where you can retrieve the banner.

Escape the tower using the same route, but be aware of the outcasts below as they might spot you. If they do, you will have to run away from the vicinity and hide.

The best way to get into the Cave camp without anyone noticing is to jump from the opening above. To get there approach the camp from the southeast, from where you'll be able to climb on top of the cave.

With both banners in your inventory, return to Amalia to negotiate with her. This opens a dialogue scene in which you convince her to speak with Warden Radut and end her mutiny. Once she agrees, report back to Radut to complete the quest and earn 10,260 XP.

Whether you choose brute force or stealth, each path presents its own set of challenges and rewards. Completing the mission grants 10,260 XP, but the impact of your choices extends beyond the XP gain. Choose wisely, and may your journey through Galawain’s Tusk be a victorious one.
