So yesterday I only did the bear training mastery challenge, I got a bronze as I didn't achieve all the requirements. Ok

But on the wolf challenge said : kill all guards and kill by indirect casualty or indirect kill.
The fact is I kill the vast majority of them by indirect kills,exploding jars,spreading fire,dropping nets etc. But every few seconds my counter was reset to zero. I had almost fulfilled it very soon ,then something happened and the counter was empty. I don't know if this is intended but sounds like a bug to me. Of course I only got a bronze when should have been a gold as I killed most of them indirectly.
I would appreciate an explanation in case it was something am missing?

Thank you

@garbo3
at the moment I won't help you a lot but here what i did for Gold :
Killed all guard by indirect kills (took for me several minutes...) and the last one was on a platform : I killed him using the Non-armed left hand attack to make him fall and had the Gold.

I will do a test to see if I have the "Counter Reset"

@garbo3
I just did a run : there is something I don't understand =
No "Counter Reset" seen , but I made all kills "indirectely" = Bag Fall + Oil Jar explosion :
seems that 2 ennemies who died by fire from oil (not from explosion) didn't count....

At the end of the run 2 ennemies were alive = 600pts , "left-hand" killed them = 660 + 280(killing all) = 940 pts = Silver

@azullfr
new test :
same as before (also 2 "Left-hand" attacks) > Total = 970 Pts ... No single direct kill, seems that 1 died from Oil Jar Fire...

@Ubi Burning Fire from oil jar is a Direct Kill while Oil Jar Explosion is Indirect Kill, am I missing something ?

@garbo3
Another test :
Multiple Direct Kills after Indirect Kill = No Counter Reset

Note :
I did this test after 16h05 = 5 minutes after Daily Reda Reset (Sometimes Ubi does silent gameplay changes at the Daily Reset)

@garbo3 Did the counter jump up to the next level? I can't remember clearly, but I thought at each transition from bronze > silver > gold, the counter appears empty again. I will double-check it later today.

For this challenge, I got impatient and found that you can just stand next to a firepit bowl, use it set each arrow on fire, and then pop them in the head. As long as the arrow doesn't kill them, the burning damage counts as indirect kill. Even the ones taking body shots die from the fire damage. They are extremely flammable. I think they must be using that oil for baths, why else do they need so much??

@lemmie88
I confirm :
each Medal starts with an empty bar

as anyone had this or I am the "lucky" one ? : https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/99155/skadi-blade-is-mythical-but-at-level-1?lang=en-US

@azullfr Mine is lvl1 as well.

@kormac67
Great Thanks for confirming

Have a nice day

@azullfr

This whole mastery challenge thing is the most frustrating game element I have ever encountered in any game. It simply does not work.

Eivor gets stuck or enemies start running around you with incredible speed. While trying to assistants they suddenly have eyes in their back. Customized controls don’t work, so now I always press the wrong buttons. Also because you can’t choose where the abilities are, you get them mixed up all the time. It is just horrible.

@lemmie88 I don't know but I got a bronze,so should be a silver?? Is so confusing .
Will do as you said. Try to set them on fire instead of shooting to kill not loading the bow fully.

@garbo3 if you had enough points, the counter started counting points for the next medal
so, you were probably somewhere around
0 | bronze medal | HERE | silver medal | gold medal (i.e. 1000)

@bielik01 oh,I understand now,thanks. That means I was close to the gold,damn!!

@garbo3 it's not the counter that resets, it's more like progress bar

@garbo3
I'm here for the same reason. I've done the challenge three times. All three times I didn't directly kill anyone but I had 910 points by the end. If everybody is dead and you don't directly kill anyone, by definition everybody got indirectly killed. I closely watched the indirect kill count for a flash during my third try. Sometimes it wouldn't flash when I dropped weight on them, blew them up, and lit them on fire. So it seems that all forms of indirect kills are glitched and sometimes just don't count. If even one did, I could try to kill everybody using that one specific indirect kill that always counts. But no method of indirectly killing does. So what do I do?

@todd_the_troll For what I understood killing them with oil jars or dropping nets doesn't count. I didn't play the challenges again as I found myself quite unskilled, but I gathered fir what people posted here that the best way is shooting them with flaming arrows on non vital body parts so they die by fire,not by the arrow.
I hope I explained myself good enough,English is not my first language.

I tried the method of lighting an arrow on fire and I got my 1000 points. I also tried using the other methods multiple times and never got to the 1000 points. My suggestion is using any open fire to light your arrow and shoot the guards with it, but only body shots. Sorry if this is repetitive but I want to be as clear as possible.
