Bringing Home The Bacon

Venture back to Lurtch, and before speaking to Yontek, quickly dash uphill to deliver a killing blow to a trio of wolves intent on eating the piggy villagers. Now speak to Yontek, inquiring why he wasn’t cursed if you wish, and finally getting the whole story from him. Fortunately, he’s hidden the stolen gold rather than selling it for a bag of magic beans. While he gathers the valuables, you’re to round up the cursed pigs in front of the village windmill.

Enter the three village huts indicated on your map, and cast Axii on any of the pigs inside. This effects all the swine within a single location, and then slowly waddle over to the ground near the windmill. Continue this another two times in the other huts, then move to the piggy congregation area and wait for Yontek.

After meeting Yontek and being assured he has the loot, start the process of chaperoning the nine pigs along the winding road down the road to the hog hut. Fortunately, you only need to reach the crossroads at the bottom of the hill to succeed in this task. However, along the way, a group of Nekkers tumbles out of the undergrowth to snack on your herd. Be sure the herd doesn’t suffer more than four deaths; watch for attacks from the right (east) and head them off early, as soon as the Nekkers appear. Expect six Nekkers to kill with speed; area-of-effect Signs are a help here.

Back at the hog hut, the treasure is restored to the shrine, and the villagers are transformed back into their human form. Understandably, they’re rather annoyed at Yontek, and plan something suitably violent for him. You can:

Choose to step in, prevent Yontek from being harmed, and tell the imbecile to be on his way. Naturally, he doesn’t thank you, or give you anything close to a reward. The quest concludes.

Choose to leave Yontek’s fate up to the villagers, and you receive a reward from them before the quest concludes.
