The Kingdom Inc decurse quest bug causes mages to perish repeatedly during the Decursing The Library mission because the objective increases in difficulty on subsequent completions, demanding dozens of squads and rapid potion supplies.
What Causes the Decursing The Library Failure?
The Decursing The Library objective is an escalating mission that increases in difficulty after each successful clear. Players encountering the issue report that early runs finish without incident, but later attempts require dozens of mage groups for a single completion.
In a discussion on the Steam community forum, a participant described the steep difficulty curve encountered during the mission:
my poor mages were dying en masse in the Decursing The Library quest.
According to observations in that thread, the stage mirrors the behavior of the Mine Sweep mission, where repeated attempts scale up enemy resistance rather than remaining at a static baseline. Players also note that the roster filter interface permits selecting basic conscripts but fails to display higher soldier upgrades, making squad cycling difficult when dealing with the filters bug.
How Can You Manage Decurse Squad Attrition?
Squad survival in late-tier library runs is tied to consumable logistics and attrition planning on your quest board. Players attempting to sustain fragile spellcasters have tested feeding health potions to adventurers, though rapid consumption creates severe supply chain strain.
| Expedition Strategy | Best Scenario | Resource Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Mass Mage Squads | Initial clears of Decursing The Library | High casualties per clear |
| Health Potion Support | Sustaining existing squads during battle | Potions consumed faster than quest rewards generate |
| Conscript Cycling | Absorbing high-damage enemy phases | Conscripts diverted from other tasks |
According to player testing in the forum discussion, adventurers consume healing items faster than the quest provides rewards to replace them. Managing the assignment through wider missions requires budgeting for multiple party replacements when clearing repeated runs on the Steam store page version of Kingdom Inc.
