How to Perform the Rusty Impale Execution

  1. Reach the Telephone Pole setup

    Use the Telephone Pole environment object. A nearby weapon kill is a different action.

    Execution

  2. Trigger the environment execution

    Use the object’s own contextual prompt. Do not use a regular weapon attack beside it.

    Execution

  3. Confirm the Rusty Impale animation plays

    The Challenge only has a chance to count after this specific contextual animation, not a generic kill.

What Counts for Smith's Grove Challenge 3?

  • A different environment object or setupExecution

Why Isn't the Telephone Pole Prompt Appearing?

  1. 01

    Are you at the Telephone Pole?

    The Challenge names this object. A different contextual prompt does not substitute for it.

  2. 02

    Are you using the environment-execution prompt?

    A regular attack next to the object is not the same action as the object’s own prompt.

  3. 03

    Does the object still offer a prompt?

    If this setup no longer offers its prompt, return to a state before it was used only when that one-use behaviour is confirmed for this execution.

Why Didn't Challenge 3 Count?

  1. 01

    Did the correct contextual animation play?

    If a generic kill played instead, the environment execution did not trigger.

  2. 02

    Did Challenge 3 require this exact execution?

    A different context execution in the same chapter does not satisfy it.

  3. 03

    Everything matched?

    Open Challenge 3 for Challenge tracking notes. Performing the execution is not the same as marking the Challenge complete.

Rusty Impale FAQ

Is a normal kill next to the Telephone Pole enough?
No. The environment execution needs the object’s own contextual prompt. A regular weapon kill beside the same object is a different action.
Does marking this execution as performed complete the Challenge?
No. The local execution checklist is only for context executions you have performed. Challenge completion is tracked separately.
