Wights?

[golan4840]

So while travelling in Essos, I spotted a party of 70 dothraky raiders. Didnt look at their troops, just ran into them and sent my 100 something knights into them.
Then after the raiders died, I saw on my screen that my knights are  being killed by Wights and not killing anyone, I didnt encounter any Wights anywhere before that. I called the knights back and killed the Wights by myself.

I'm confused, I thought Wights were suppose to be with the White Walkers invade? What are they doing in Essos?
also, shouldn't I require a Valyrian steel in order to kill them? My sword is the one I took from Thoros of Myr when I hired him as a companion, not Valyrian steel as far as I'm aware. I was also able to kill them with bow and arrows just fine.

Edit: There was also 1 Wight giant in that encounter.

Thoros sword has fire, so can kill them. Where you using fire arrows/obsidian arrows?

And in regards to the Wights being there to begin with, they were taken as prisoners and recruited most likely, Produno is looking for a way to fix it, and I imagine it will be in the 2.3 or 2.4 hotfix.

Hope this helps.

You're right, I was using fire arrows and Thoros sword is fire too, makes sense.

So if they were defeated and recruited, does that mean the white walkers have invaded already and I'm not aware of it?

No no, Night King turns up on day 600 with ALOT of WW. These you see bow aren't even a fraction of the number, they come from up north past the free folk lands in the land of never winter. There's about 100-200 at any time before the invasion.

I'm running 2.2 and i've seen 1-2 wights in Free Folk parties still. (Though it is a considerably smaller amount)

Crap I had Thoros as one of my companions but when I checked his inventory he had a regular looking sword. Then he was upset and left my party.

they should fire arrows right?? i dont see any fire... but i see fire in the Thoros sword

[H3YimDR3W]

There's a specific type of arrow that you can buy called fire arrows. That damages wights (but not white walkers)
