9 Objectives
Objectives introduce an additional goal for the Pack to accomplish beyond defeating the Adversary. Each Objective details any changes to the Game Setup and special rules that only apply when playing with that Objective, and how Renown is earned or lost due to the Objective.
There are 10 Objectives and these have been numbered so they can be randomly introduced into a Hunt by rolling a d10 prior to play. Any setup required for an Objective should always be done before deploying Models, including Foes.
The Renown rules for each Objective are always used in The Eternal Hunt, but can also be used on their own to help link together multiple games by introducing consequences for the Pack’s successes and failures. Renown earned or lost is always calculated at the end of the Hunt.
Renown and the Adversary
When using the Renown rules for Objectives, Renown is also always earned based on the degree of damage done to the Adversary:
- Gain 1d5 Renown for each of the Adversary’s Hit Locations that have been exhausted (reduced to 0 WNDs). If the Adversary is defeated (all Hit Locations reduced to 0 WNDs), gain an additional 1d5 Renown.
1. Assassinate the Vessel
Objective: Kill the human Vessel Model linked to the Adversary. To do so, the Pack must reduce the Vessel’s WNDs to 0.
Game Setup: Deploy the Vessel at the centre of the table, then deploy all Foes using Scatter Rolls from the Vessel.
Special Rules
Vessel
Area 1-sized Model. This model is considered a Hostile Model to the Pack. The Vessel has the following Attributes:
| SPD | ATK | RNG | DEF | TER | WND |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| - | - | - | 6 | 5 | 10 |
Passive: This Model cannot execute any Actions.
Disruption: When the Vessel is defeated, the Adversary immediately suffers the Knocked Down Condition.
Renown
- Gain 1d10 + 2 Renown for assassinating the Vessel.
- Lose 1d5 Renown for failing to assassinate the Vessel.
2. Banish The Well
Objective: Pack Model must succeed at a Cast Ritual Action (DT 5) within 1” of the Cosmic Well and while no Hostile Models are within 1” of the Cosmic Well.
Game Setup: Place a Cosmic Well (Area 2) from the centre of the Play Area with a Scatter Roll.
Special Rules
At the end of each Round, all Foes recover d5 Wounds if the Cosmic Well has not been banished. Roll once and apply the result to all Foes.
Renown
- Gain 1d10 + 2 Renown for successfully banishing the Well.
- Lose d5 Renown for failing to banish the Well.
3. Capture the Beast
Objective: Pack Model captures the Adversary by succeeding at an Attack Action with a Net, then the roll to subdue the Adversary succeeds. Game Setup: None required.
Special Rules
Net: Net Weapon as described in Gear. 1 Pack Model can temporarily take the Net into the Hunt at no cost, exchanging it for one of their Weapons if necessary to remain within the 3 Weapon limit. After the Hunt, the Net is removed from the Model’s Gear and, if needed, the exchanged Weapon is returned. Additional Nets can be purchased and are treated as normal.
Capturing the Adversary
When a Pack Model succeeds at an Attack Action with the Net against the Adversary, resolve the Attack as normal. Then, at the end of the Round upon which this Attack succeeded, immediately make a Subdue Check (DT 5) using the number of the Adversary’s Hit Locations exhausted as the Rating (e.g., 3 Hit Locations reduced to 0 WNDs = 3d10s against DT 5).
- If successful, the Adversary is captured and considered defeated.
- If failed, the Adversary breaks from the Net and another Attack Action with the Net must succeed to trigger this roll again on a future Round.
If the Adversary is defeated (all Hit Locations exhausted ) before the Capturing the Adversary roll succeeds, then the Objective cannot be accomplished.
The Pack gains Renown as normal for the Adversary’s Hit Locations that are exhausted when it is captured, although they cannot gain the Renown for defeating the Adversary in the traditional manner (i.e., exhausting all WNDs).
Renown
- Gain 1d10 + 5 for successfully capturing the Adversary.
- Lose 1d5 for failing to capture the Adversary.
4. Escape the Ambush
Objective: Flee from the Play Area with as many Pack Models as possible.
Game Setup: Deploy all Pack Models with Scatter Rolls from the centre of the Play Area. Next, deploy The Adversary using a Scatter Roll from a random Pack Model. Deploy all Foes in this manner, each time using a different Pack Model as the starting point for the Scatter Roll.
Special Rules
None.
Renown
- Gain 1d5 + 1 Renown for each Pack Model that successfully Flees.
- Lose 1d5 Renown for each Pack Model that does not Flee.
5. Exterminate Foes
Objective: The Pack must defeat all Foes during the Hunt.
Game Setup: None required.
Special Rules
If a Minion can be continuously “respawned” by the Adversary, the Pack only needs to defeat three Minions to consider the Minion defeated for the purposes of the objective.
Renown
- Gain 1d10 + 5 Renown for defeating all Foes.
- Lose 1d5 Renown for each Foe that is not defeated.
6. Forge The Seal
Objective: Pack Models must apply Warding Talc to three Warding Points by succeeding at a Cast Ritual Action (DT 5) while within 1” of a Warding Point.
Game Setup: Place three Warding Points (Area 1) from the centre of the Play Area using a Scatter Roll but using a d10 instead of a d5 to determine distance of the scatter. All Warding Points should be placed at least 3” away from each other.

Warding Talc (Lore Check, DT 5): Warding Talc does not count as Gear, therefore Models cannot exceed their Max Gear allotment due to carrying Warding Talc. Warding Talc is considered to have unlimited Ammo.
3 Pack Models can start with Warding Talc in their Gear at no cost. Additional doses of Warding Talc can be acquired for 1 Renown each.

- Lose 1d5 Renown for each Warding Point not successfully warded.
7. Raze Habitat
Objective: Destroy the Adversary’s Territory Area by placing an Explosive Barrel. To do so, one Pack Model with the Explosive Barrel must succeed at a Use Gear Action while within the Area. At the end of the next Round after it is placed the Explosive Barrel detonates and the objective is accomplished. At least one Pack Model must be alive and in the Play Area when this occurs.
Game Setup: Place an Area 3 counter representing the core of the Adversary’s territory with a Scatter Roll from the centre of the Play Area.
Special Rules
Explosive Barrel (Hunt Check, DT 5; must Ready): Area 1. 2-handed. Models within 5” suffer a Rating 5 Shooting Attack when it detonates.
The Explosive Barrel does not count as Gear, therefore Models cannot exceed their Max Gear allotment due to carrying the Explosive Barrel. Each Model can carry 1 Explosive Barrel and it is considered to be Ammo 1.
The Explosive Barrel is dropped within 1” of a Model reduced to 0 WNDs. Models can also choose to drop the Explosive Barrel at no cost but must succeed at a Hunt Check (DT 5) within 1” to pick it up.

Game Setup: Place three Artifacts (Area 1) from the centre of the Play Area with a Scatter Roll.
Special Rules
Artifact: Area 1. Artifacts do not count as Gear, therefore Models cannot exceed their Max Gear allotment due to carrying Artifacts. Each Model can carry up to 3 Artifacts.

Game Setup: Place three Icons from the centre of the Play Area using a Scatter Roll but using a d10 instead of a d5 to determine distance of scatter. All Icons should be placed at least 3” away from each other.
Special Rules
False & Genuine Icons: Area 1. Icons do not count as Gear, therefore Models cannot exceed their Max Gear allotment due to carrying Icons. Each Model can carry up to 3 Icons.
Models that reach 0 WNDs drop their Icons within 1” of the Model. Models can also choose to drop their Icons at no cost but must succeed at a Cast Ritual Action (DT 5) within 1” to pick them up.
