What Are You Trying to Fix?

QUICK ANSWER

How Do Court Activities Work?

01

Choose a vassal

Work on the Court route you actually want to advance.

02

Complete their activities

Finishing an encounter alone may not complete its journal step.

03

Check the Court screen

The in-game state is the authority for current Anger and pressure.

04

Start the confrontation

Open the boss quest when it appears for that vassal.

Use the in-game Court screen to judge current Anger and whether a confrontation is ready.

STATE CHECK

Why isn’t my Anger increasing?

  1. CHECK 1

    Correct owner

    Confirm the activity belongs to the vassal whose Court state you are checking.

  2. CHECK 2

    Actual completion

    Finish the full journal objective; discovery or clearing one encounter may not resolve the activity.

  3. CHECK 3

    Correct Court state

    Read the selected vassal’s live Court state. This checklist is not an Anger meter.

  4. CHECK 4

    Branch resolution

    Complete any remaining interaction, dialogue, release, destruction or pickup shown in the journal.

  5. CHECK 5

    Possible issue

    If the final objective completes but the Court screen does not change, check version-specific troubleshooting.

CONFRONTATION CHECK

Why won’t the boss quest unlock?

  1. CHECK 1

    Select the right vassal

    Court pressure is not treated as one shared bar.

  2. CHECK 2

    Confirm ownership

    Count only activities explicitly tied to that vassal.

  3. CHECK 3

    Check the live Court screen

    Use the in-game Court screen for the actual threshold; checked items here are only your manual checklist.

  4. CHECK 4

    Look for the confrontation

    Confirm whether its route or quest has actually appeared.

  5. CHECK 5

    Do another activity

    If it has not appeared, filter this page to the same vassal and continue with an unchecked activity.

  6. CHECK 6

    Escalate carefully

    If the game reports readiness but no quest appears, then check prerequisites or known issues.

COURT ACTIVITIES & THE CLOCK

Do Court Activities Use Time?

The exact time cost for each Court Activity is still unclear. Read the in-game prompt before committing instead of assuming every cellar, transport or outdoor event costs the same amount.

ANGER VS INFAMY

Are Anger and Infamy the same?

Anger / Court pressure
Tracked for the relevant vassal’s Court route.
Infamy
A broader regime-attention system; it is not presented here as automatically filling a vassal’s route.

ROUTE CHOICE

Which Court route should I work on?

The exact universal route order is still unclear. If you are already pressuring one vassal, filter to that route and finish nearby unchecked activities. For a fresh route, grouping stops in the same area is recommended, not required.

PLAN AN EFFICIENT ROUTE

How to Plan an Efficient Court Route

FAQ

Court Activities Questions

How many Court Activities are there?+

This page lists 34 activities tied by name to Ambrus, Bakir or Xanthe. The complete in-game total is still unclear.

Do I need to complete every Court Activity?+

The exact number required for each confrontation is still unclear. Check the live Court screen and continue with another activity for the vassal whose boss quest has not appeared.

Why is an activity still unknown?+

The activity may still require discovery, or an exact marker may not be available yet. Filter for Search area entries, keep the activity active, and follow the in-game objective where direct navigation is unavailable.

Why is Anger not increasing?+

First confirm the activity belongs to the correct vassal and that its final journal objective completed. Only then treat a missing Court-state update as a possible issue.

When does a boss route unlock?+

The exact universal threshold is still unclear. Check that vassal’s live Court state and whether the confrontation quest has appeared.

Do Court Activities use time?+

The exact cost of each activity is still unclear. Read the in-game prompt before committing instead of assuming every activity costs the same amount of time.

Which Court route should I work on?+

Continue the vassal route you have already advanced, or group nearby activities to save travel time. The exact universal order is still unclear.

Do Court Activities increase Infamy?+

Do not assume they do. Court Anger belongs to a vassal route, while Infamy is your broader notoriety; no exact Infamy gain is listed for these activities.
