Having Thralls can help to make the game more accessible and enjoyable. Although it’s possible to progress through the game without relying on Thralls, the truth is that this approach makes the game significantly more challenging and limits access to certain areas. Now, I have to say that while Purges are harder to actually manage when you’re playing on your own, they are quite a necessity as they will help you get the best Thralls in the game.
Purges are a really interesting mechanic in Conan Exiles that are not typically explored by those who are on a single-player server and instead on a multi-player server with a good amount of players. If you’re a regular in my Twitch Community you may have been able to witness my catastrophic decision to do a never-ending wave of Purges for 4-hours straight resulting in me trying to figure out if this was even a good decision or if I had made a fatal mistake that I should regret.
