Local Heroes Scenario / Valeros Solo

[Hector Garza]

So I am currently playing Local Heroes solo with Valeros. The scenario states I must close all locations to win. (No villain; allies are considered henchman since they burn blessing deck if you fail to acquire)

My question is specifically for the Woods location. Since there is no villain in this scenario the only way to close it is by succeeding at a wisdom or survival 6 check which is impossible since Valeros only has d4 wisdom. Even with a blessing 2d4 it's a tough roll.

So does it not get closed and lose the game? I'm considering at least clearing the entire location as a victory.

What do you guys think? At least in normal scenarios I could trap villain in woods and close via combat.

The developers have basically said that, if you're playing solo, feel free to replace any location you can't actually close with another one that you can. It's basically a house rule, so follow it or don't; amend it slightly if you want/need to; OR play the game with the normal rules and hope you can get an ally/other card that helps you with the check besides just the blessing.

See "Advice for solo play" on page 19 of the rules for what to do in this situationl.
