Quest stages of Foothold in Connacht
1. Speak to Bárid
Bárid is waiting for you in the yellow tent at the top. Head there and talk to him. After a while Flann will join you and together you will discuss the plan of attack. Eivor will suggest acting discreetly and his suggestion will be accepted.
2. Find and Speak to Flann's scout
Head to Cashelore. The scout that Flann mentioned to you can be found under the stone bridge.
The scout will tell you how you can get inside the fortress.
3. Open Cashelore's gates
You must get inside the southern part of the fortress, destroy the lock on the gate and open it. To minimize the amount of open combat, and if you are lucky avoid it completely, you can use the tower entrance which is located on the southeast side of the fortress. To get to the tower you only need to destroy the weak wooden door. Climb the ladder inside the tower and then climb down or jump down into the interior of the walls.You can even not enter the tower just climb through the hole in the wall.
Then, being careful and silently eliminating the guards patrolling inside the wall, proceed to the opening near the gate, jump through this opening, hide in the haystack and at the right moment assassinate the soldier by the gate. Then quickly destroy the lock and open the gate. Flann and the others will already be waiting on the other side and the attack will begin.
4. Take the Southern Ringfort / Help Flann open the door
Together with others, eliminate all the enemies in this part of the fortress and then approach Flann who is trying to open the gate to the bridge leading to the northern part of the fortress.
5. Take the Northern Ringfort
When you get rid of all the enemies in this part of the fortress then the fortress will be conquered.
During the feast after the battle, Flann will ask you to talk to Ciara.
After completing Foothold in Connacht you will get or will be able to get Potion of Blood.
