Quest Talk:Epic Battle: Helm's Dike

A Stone Obstruction (Archers) in Solo Helm's Dike

This quest is buggy and may not be worth bothering with if solo. If you're playing duo, then it works fine, but in solo, the RNG may decide that the archers almost never hit their target, so after a long time, you may still be at 4/15 targets hit and the quest ends as "failed." In another solo instance, a dunlending appeared, ran directly to the center archer, did apparently nothing, no damage, and ran back to the western side of battle. He did that repeatedly. He did it so fast it was almost impossible to see him. I set a trap and he stopped, but there was no body left behind, so I don't know if he died or just was bugged and some bug fix got him. In any case, I couldn't protect the archers from him, and he seemed to stop the archers from firing within one second of my telling them to fire. It killed the quest entirely. There seem to be several bugs in this particular quest, so you might want to ignore it (if you're solo), focus on the mobs, and expect Statue of Helm Hammerhand as your next side quest.
