Band of Bastards puts Henry on patrol with Kuno's mercenaries, and there are a few things worth knowing before riding out. This walkthrough covers the whole DLC, including the final confrontation and the choices that affect it, so expect spoilers. Start by finishing Baptism of Fire in the main story, then speak to Sir Radzig about the mercenaries. He sends you to Kuno's camp, west of the road between Rattay Mill and Ledetchko. Follow Jakey's introductions and speak to Kuno. Before you can join, you have to beat Dangler in a duel. Bring bandages. They use real weapons for this little qualification test, and losing can leave Henry badly hurt. Kuno allows another attempt, so a loss doesn't lock you out. Heal before trying again or heading straight into a patrol. I'd also repair equipment, bring healing supplies and Saviour Schnapps, and make room for loot before starting. These missions involve several group fights, so getting comfortable defending yourself matters more than carrying an expensive sword you barely know how to use. Once you're accepted, talk to the men around camp before asking Kuno to leave during daylight. Their conversations introduce the optional Ring of Bacchus activity, which I'll cover before the finale.
