Herminia the Huntress.
The next part of the Master of Wealth is called Herminia the Huntress.
Speak to Bargello
Back in Valore, you can find Bargello in Taviani’s bar.

Speaking to him will start the quest. Watch Herminia’s nightmare as the quest starts playing out. Watch the next cutscenes play out. Bargello is trying to unite all of Taviani’s men – there are split in 4 factions. You will have the option to go with Bargello.

Pick Yes. Watch the next cutscene and head out with Bargello to negotiate with Rosso.
Go to Rosso’s Hideout
Head to Rosso’s hideout. Note you can start a sidequest here. It’s called “The Last Cask”.

The Last Cask
Speaking to the distiller will start the quest.
Search for a buyer for the brandy
Head to the Theatropolis tavern and speak to the man inside.

Use Inquire on him and then hire him.
Take the noble to the distiller
Head back to Valore. Meet with the distiller and watch the cutscene play out. This will get you 1500 Leaves and end the quest. Back to the main quest.
Go to Rosso’s Hideout (continued)
Go inside the hideout. Watch the cutscene develop into into a fight – as usual.
Boss: Rosso

Rosso is weak to Swords, Axes, Staves, Lightning and Wind magic.
Rosso will pump up all his weapon defenses – other than that its not that difficult to take his hp down. Once the fight is over head to Bargello’s hideout.
Return to Bargello’s Hideout
Once you get there, you will see Tiziano’s missing. Bargello will decide to go without him. You will now end up outside Herminia’s Manse. Save at the save point nearby.
Look for Lady Herminia
Enter Herminia’s Manse. Go through the door on the western side of the main hall. In the next area go up the stairs. There are three rooms to the right. In the third room, you will find an elite enemy: Herminia’s Mighty Soldier II

Elite Enemy: Herminia’s Mighty Soldier II
He is weak to Swords, Daggers, Axes, Lightning and Wind magic.

Once he goes down pick up the Iron Fan from the chest.
Head back down and enter the room next to the save point.
Search for the key to the locked door
The key is on the second floor up the stairs.

Once you pick up the key, a string of cutscenes will trigger. Rosso will hold off Herminia’s goons while you head down with Bargello.
Unlock the Door
Go back to the door in the ground floor. Once the door opens go in.

Confront Lady Herminia
Head down into the cellars. Take the right path and pick up the chest. At the end of the path is another elite enemy: The Menacing Sticky Slug
Elite Enemy: Menacing Sticky bug

The bug is highly resistant to physical damage. Its weak to Swords, Daggers, Bows, Fire and Wind magic.
Once its down, take the loot from the chest. Follow the path from the cellars around back to the manse. Go up the stairs and save. Eventually Herminia will show up and speak to you. After the cutscenes end, you will fight Lady Herminia.
Boss: Lady Herminia
Phase 1
The weaknesses for the Lady-In-Waiting are Axes, Bows, Fans, Lightning and Staves.

Herminia herself is weak to daggers, axes, tomes, lightning and dark magic.

The first phase is pretty easy and she goes down pretty easily once you take out her attendant.
Phase 2
In this phase her weaknesses are the same as before.

In this phase she will summon a countdown bomb called Manifestation of Mental Decay. It is on 4 turn counter. She will also cast sleep on the whole party. It doesn’t have a lot of HP so focus damage on it when it shows up.

Watch the cutscenes to conclude Bargello and Herminia’s story.
