The Great Stag is an exclusive dilemma for the Wood Elves race introduced in Total War Warhammer. It enables the player to chose between the unique armour item Great Stag Helm and a huge albeit temporary charge bonus buff, recruitment cost reduction and recruitment rank upgrade for Wild Riders and Great Stag Knights units.
In-game description[]
The Great Stag is a revered and treasured creature of Athel Loren; renowned for its magical, ethereal properties, many say it represents the soul of the forest itself. On a hunt one day, you come across of the majestic creatures, presenting you with a unique opportunity. It is the way of the forest to hunt, a part of the natural cycle of life. If you could claim the antlers of such a great beast, you would be honoured as true master of the Hunt. Yet there is much to be said for staying your hand, and leaving the beast in peace...
