Conan Exiles is an open-world survival game, in the brutal lands of Conan The Barbarian. You are an exile, one of thousands cast out to fend for themselves in a barbaric wasteland swept by terrible sandstorms and besieged on every side by Enemies. Here you must fight to survive, build and dominate.
Hungry, thirsty and alone, your very first battle is that against the harsh environment. Grow crops or Hunt animals for food. Harvest Resources to Craft Weapons and Tools. Build a shelter to survive. Ride across a vast world and explore alone, or band together with other players to build entire Settlements and Strongholds to withstand fierce invasions.
When strong enough, march forth into battle and wage war against your enemies as you fight to dominate the exiled lands. Sacrifice enemy Players on the Altars of the gods and shift the balance of power your way. Unleash your fury in savage, fast-paced Combat and execute bloody and bone-crushing attacks that will see heads rolling and limbs flying.
Isle of Siptah is a massive expansion to the open world survival game Conan Exiles, featuring a vast new island to explore, huge and vile new creatures to slay, new building sets and a whole new gameplay cycle. Fight the elder races in new underground dungeons. Defeat demonic monstrosities that spawn from a storm of pure chaos. Dominate the surge to secure the island’s only supply of thralls.

I do things a little different. Bring a bow and a few nox gas arrows (a bunch if you wanna cheese the boss). Same corner to jump over the first wall, but if you climb the rock platform running directly from the wall you don't get tied up in the corner where you had your WAK moment. Shoot the two archers and when the gas kills them, you're free to climb to the top right there. You can jump back into the bomb cart to drop agro. I go to the same place to break through, but I've found that using the battering ram first until it breaks (all heavy attacks) and two bombs takes me through smoother. After the kill I usually go straight out from the tower and jump onto the outer walls run through the little water source and only have to fight a couple that chase. I have been using this strategy and it's made staffing my purge building so much nicer. On a side note the modders have saved the game for me, I've been using two mods one that returns the old combat movement, the other fixes camels and demolishers. YEA modders!

[@jesustrejo356]

Come on bro, don't give funcom this info they gonna fix it before the important things to fix

[@wak4863]

I fully expect everyone to have a huge army of level 20 thralls well before they patch this.

[@bradiklongsword335]

Hell ya time to level

[@bradiklongsword335]

Levelling thralls in this game is mundane and slow boring I’m sick of it so ya this is excellent thank you

[@Mighty_Mr_B]

From what I hear they ain't in any hurry to fix anything.

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

Here's my take: This is a good idea for guaranteed thralls like Bersekers, but bad idea for rare thralls like Dalinsia Snowhunter or Thralls with very favorable level up bonuses. Why? Because they won't benefit from food. Example: I have a Dalinsia Snowhunter with 80% vitality level up and 85% strength level up. I leveled her up using nothing but savory steaks and exquisite stew, and the only time she missed a vitality level up, she leveled strength twice. Final result? She's got 46 strength and 57 vitality, 19 agility and 17 grit. Multiple duplicate level ups due to the insanely high chances. And then I used 126 rebirths on her so she's now got 15 + 15 + 10 vitality from her perks with no detrimental effects, putting her at 5400 base health. She's a monster. She can solo the Arena's Champion and Rotbranch even at base Authority. Strongest thrall I've ever made. It was worth the slow grind because you'll never get a thrall like this without using the right food. That said, if you're just looking for quick thralls such as for outside your base, this is an excellent method.

[@Bubbles99718]

Food pushes 3 to 5 pts into a stat. Hardly a game changer.

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

@@Bubbles99718 You're right, not a game changer, but definitely more optimized. If you can choose between 5% damage and 10% damage and 5k health and 5.5k health, why not choose 10% and 5.5k?

[@roy2x257]

@@TheStraightestWhitest Time sink and RNG. You are not exactly sure to get the optimum anyway with how thralls calculate a 2 stat roll.

[@Psy-Krow]

As people seem to be hemming and hawing over the loss of the "food buff" from leveling, I'd like to remind everyone that the food buff does nothing more than provide an increased CHANCE at gaining a stat point during the "dice roll" for that stat when gaining a level. so for example, if you feed your thrall gruel you get a bonus 14% to the CHANCE to get a strength point. You are not getting 14% more strength, you aren't getting 14% more points, or whatever other misconceptions you might have that I've heard over the years. can it make a difference? certainly. but remember to weigh that small tilt in the odds that you get against how much your time is worth. which... I'd admit might be a silly question since we are still playing Conan here.

[@anma7272]

did they fixed it? tried now 2 times and it doesnt work

[@IvanSchukow]

I don't hate it. Definitely not intended for the experience given but after the rocky start to Chapter 3, its good to see something that helps us out lol. Thank you kindly!

[@clnetrooper]

Honestly it's kind of okay. You can go in and sneakily kill alone or take it on with a party of players. Two playstyles, one goal.

[@sesimie]

well in my little impromptu series, I build a tavern at the Weeping ruins (where you have your thrall). I'm going to try this as i just got a T4 Bearer on a Level 1 Purge with Isscar the Sellsword. I will credit this to your guide here Wak. Also it will be my 400th video upload! Thanks for all these excellent guides!

[@ccshrimp91]

Doesn't work anymore.

[@Shieldbearer]

Oh, I shall make good use of this while it is available. Thank you for showing us this, Wak.

[@Sadeithefennec]

I just want to add, if you're running a mod that raises the thralls level cap, I'm using one that allows thralls to level to 100, it still hits the cap even with that. I murdered him with 2 level 0 thralls 'following' me, and they hit level 100 in one fell swoop.

[@Bubbles99718]

To all u peeps saying losing the food buffs makes it not worth it; that 14% only pushes 3 to 5 pts into a stat. That's hardly a game changer. They still get the same number of pts over all, they'll just not get those 3 to 5 targeted ones.

[@ciberzombiegaming8207]

well, you could have worded it better, its not loss in stats, just less chance that point goes into desired stat

[@zapgun]

It looks like they have fixed this in the April 2 2024 update.......... damn it!

[@Theodoric3]

Ty, I will check this out for sure. Power leveling, I love it!

[@semi-useful5178]

If they fix this I at least hope that they make thralls easier to level in Chapter 4. If they're going to make thralls disposable make them actually disposable.

[@monoxzx1]

Tried this, worked. But the second time i tried it the explosive jars and battery ram didnt spawn so i guess im gonna have to build my own explosive jars, is the battery ram necessary if it doesnt spawn ?

[@user-qu7jc8ht5q]

I'd love to give this a try but the amount of lag involved on looking at that building was enough to make me walk away empty handed

[@erjoh305]

Also FYI. two bombs and 1 ram is all you need for my agility build. Place bomb, during burn, use ram (10 hits seem to be what the burn last), place next bomb and repeat. 2 bombs and 19 hits from the ram is what the wall can take.

[@TippyGunman]

Thats awesome. Going to give it a go this after noon. I need all the tralls i can get after doing purges on the weekend

[@alan4309]

One thing that does happen is as you are leading the guys away from al-whatever it's called AFTER you kill the boss on an official server, the whole thing respawns and all those guys just drop dead.

[@andreigiurgiu9168]

Fastest way to climb is the right tower near the castle gldoor. Just climb and destroy the wall in front of you. 5 min .

[@Setnja92]

Bring some explosives, magic staff, bandages and cleansing brews; summon demon; fly on top of the roof; drink ten cleasing brew; heal yourself. The rest is the same as you described and you need more stuff for it, but the entry is way more cool in my opinion! 😀

[@cheezuscrust6868]

the npc's having perfect rotational target lock on the player is dumb, i've never had trouble as a new spawn taking down demon crocs with stone daggers. Completely different story now that they can't miss attacks.

[@markvargus6519]

Not a strategy I'd ever have thought of, but definitely interesting to watch.

[@InstinctiveGaming_]

It’s patched, unless someone has another method. I wish I could still insta level my thralls

[@chriscb]

I've been breaking the wall on the opposite side and just running in to collect the gold. But I like the side you are on. Much easier to kill the boss using gas arrows from a distance. Will definitely try this to level up my thralls. Thanks.

[@statesrights01]

This is sweet!! Thanks Wak :D

[@minimemyth6910]

If you have a mod to increase the Thralls max level it appears they go to level 55, I'd say he gives a balanced amount of experience...

hi, still working bro ?

[@MadnBlondie]

Sorry Wak . Yes the insta thrall leveling does work we figured out the problem . On ps5 it has to be solo for it to work . 1st time we did it as a clan two of us it spilt the leveling somehow between us and broke the thralls but when we tried it solo it worked flawless ! Thanks for the tip’s and info have a great day…

[@ciberzombiegaming8207]

broke thralls in what way?

[@chuckfulci11]

Thanks Wak....worked like a charm. I'm having trouble finding the musashis black blade that you can pick up in al meryah stronghold. I could have sworn you showed it but can't find video

[@R20set]

One of the buildings next to the cart with bombs. The one bit to the side, not the one right next to the rear of the cart, that building has a ram in it sometimes. It leans againt the barrels on the left when you enter.

[@ciberzombiegaming8207]

bigger building , one that is not part of wall. if you seen several beds in it then its that one

[@MrDelerium]

This did not work for me on my first 2 try's. Then it did work after i saw the clip a 2nd time. You have to stop the followers by pressing the E button 2 times fast after echother. Then you order your followers to stop. What i did wrong was the 'stop following' option. If you use this option it does not work. But if you tell your followers to 'stop' by dubble pressing E this works. Make sure you get the message that your followers stop. First post: I managed to get to the boss and kill it but i never got the xp on the thralls and horse who i stop followed. The first time i 'stop follow' in the same spot as in the clip. The 2nd time i set the thralls closer. Both time no xp for the thralls. When i came back tot the thralls after i killed the boss they where still scouting on the spot i left them. My second try was really quick aswell. I killed the boss with with gas and explosive arrows. The 10k gold loot in the boss room is nice tho. I play on an official PvE server.

[@ciberzombiegaming8207]

yea, scouting or placed to guard thralls or pets do not get experience from your kills

[@solson223]

I just lost my lvl 19 follower last night after a slow grind. I'm going to fast level another (or a few) before they patch this method. Thx for the vid!

[@user-Jim499]

Does It Still Work ?

[@InstinctiveGaming_]

[@clarkabrpi3428]

I got here just because I was looking for your new videos...but came back here after seeing your new one that said dont instant level your thralls up. lol

[@filipef895]

On console it works too. Thanks for the tip I have lot of thrall to max up and also the gold is a good plus too

[@AveSPARTAK]

благодарю! ты показал проще, чем русскоязычные обзорщики! )

[@Magiusiam]

The issue with this is that the thrall doesn't get the food bonus for Stat increases. So they can get max level quick, but their stats could suffer.

[@wak4863]

Yup no food bonuses so they level however the system want it to, but you can roll the dice a lot this way.

[@seamusoconaill8265]

That's the tradeoff. If you are leveling something for purge defense that is likely to die it's definitely worth that. one thing I've been doing is killing a few patrolling troops to level 'properly' for the first couple of levels before I tell them to stop. Plus I have been stacking hardened steel because every single enemy here drops a hardened steel weapon.

[@wak4863]

You’re not losing any points. They get the same amount of attribute you’re only losing the ability to have a better chance at a certain stat when they level but the end result will be the same number of attribute points.

[@Bubbles99718]

​@stradzarovich9381 LOL, what a banana. That 14% gives 3 to 5 extra pts to a stat. Hardly a big game changer.

[@pinball2076]

@stradzarovich9381 for your main thrall companion, I agree with your assessment; but for an army of level 20s to deal with level 10 purges, totally worth it.

[@Knucklehead501]

[@Biese91]

i tried it today. DIDNT WORK at all :C i dunno if i did something wrong but i dont think so. was there with a cimmerian berserker and a horse. both havent gained ANY xp and i placed them even a bit closer than in the video o.o Any ideas??

[@devilsmessanger]

Wak ,does thrall get bonuses to stat based on food or is it full random due instant level ? might be a bad thing unless its a expendable thrall .

[@wak4863]

The food bonuses are not accounted for on multiple level gains. But the bonus from food is only to grow in that category. The more rolls of the dice the better the thrall you could get. This is like a 10 minute interaction versus the amount of time it takes to level a thrall properly. So there is a trade off but I think it's worth it.

[@devilsmessanger]

@@wak4863 funny enough in this place could be good spot to level thralls up due infinite spawns. but human enemies do give less xp ...

[@Troldefar94]

Instead of leaping across from the front, I just climbed on their exterior carts on the left side, killed the archers, then leaped across from the cart. After that, proceed to the same area where you got the battering ram/explosives.

[@ciberzombiegaming8207]

i don't even bother with defenders, i just run thru. less engaging then , less chance to get surounded into death box by rest of defenders (when can't jump nor anywhere to dodge and get interupted on attacks)

[@Lost_Elfgirl]

Nice bug, but if you want to get the best health of your thrall you should not do this. He only gets ONE TIME the % chance leveling buff and not 20 TIMES.

[@TheOnion12]

Level up a few Dalinsia and Berserkers and you’ll be plenty tired of the process

[@brucetucker4847]

Not true, if they go up multiple levels they get the % to gain an attribute point once for each level. Notice that his Berserker has 60 vitality at the end even though it got all 20 levels at once. All you lose is the food bonus, which as many have said is significant but not a game changer. And you save many hours of grinding.

[@wak4863]

It just gives insane xp. You can take the thrall with you if you want.

[@filopat67]

You can dismantle the whole castle after you have killed the boss and get a stupid amount of hardened bricks, steel reinforcements and shaped wood. I don't know if it works like that on servers, but it works on single player game. Abuse it until they change it.

That only works when in admin.

Is there a thrall distance setting or something? My thrall was following, I told him stop inside the Weeping Ruin as in the video, and as soon as I got over the castle walls he teleported to me.
