* ThatOneLevel: The "Bandits Are Attacking!" quest in Judy's story is typically where a new player will encounter their first rut; and highlights one of U-Saga's main issues: communication with the player. The set-up is presented in such a fashion that the player would assume "kill enough bandits to save the village." In reality, you have to defeat two or three groups of bandits ''within a pre-set time-frame.'' Every turn spent in battle is also a turn spent in the Adventure Map. Bandits re-spawn onto the map once per turn. So, approaching the quest as your typical "complete the objective" fare doesn't apply here. It's very easy for a new player to simply roam the map not knowing any better, whittling themselves down to a loss by proxy of fighting the battles methodically; not being aware of the added-in time-limit that can potentially cause Bandits to spawn forever.[[note]]The quickest way to complete this quest is to equip someone with the Opal Armlet Judy takes with her when the game starts, using the "Shock" spell to whittle down massive waves of enemies while Kurt and Armand pick off the stragglers. Following the Red and Orange markers instead of using the HP Recovery function can wrap this up in about ten-or-so turns.[[/note]]
