The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide Witcher Contracts Contract: Mysterious Tracks

More Fiendish Than a Fiend

Objectives:

  • Acquire fiend dung to use as bait.
  • Prepare some bait based on the Alchemy Formula.
  • Pour the bait around the hill (4).
  • Wait in the cave for the chort to catch the scent.
  • Kill the chort.

You automatically receive the chort llure potion formula. Now combine the following ingredients with your alchemy knowledge to concoct this potion:

ITEM: Formula: Chore Lure

Chort Lure

IngredientAmount
Fiend Dung (1)
Crow’s Eye (2)

Return to the hill above the Fiend’s Cave. Look at your minimap for the four nearby locations (which surround the hill all the way down to the river), and spray some bait around (accessed by placing the potion into your Potions slot). Now return to the Fiend’s Cave, dropping in from the top opening, just like before.

An immense and frightening creature with huge bulky forearms and a horned head that could pierce granite leaps down and lunges at you. Prepare to fight Howler, the hardiest of chorts!

End: After Making Remains of Howler

Objectives:

  • Take a trophy from the chort.
  • Collect your reward for killing the chort.

Slice sections of chort away from the main corpse to add to your trophy collection, and clamber out of the cave, whistle for Roach, and ride triumphantly back to Lindenvale where the hunter is both worried at the fiend incursions, and happy the monster has been slain. Collect your reward as the quest concludes.

ITEM: Chort Hide, Chort Trophy, Crowns
