I Think, Therefore I Ham

Objectives

  • Find the hog hut.
  • Go inside the hog hut.

Roughly east and a little south of Lurtch, across the undulating grassland, is a cave cut into the hillside. Three bandits are waiting to greet you at the entrance. Make short work of them, then venture into the cave tunnel. Pass the corpse of a bear, and listen for a second trio of bandits attempting to break through a walled-up archway. They aren’t interested in helping your cause, so wet your steel blade with their blood. Inspect the stone wall; use the key and it disappears, revealing a magical barrier that opens up into the interior of a strange temple.

Objectives

  • Look for clues in the hog hut using your Witcher Senses.
  • Talk to the pig.
Igor the Herbalist (Pig form)

Progress slowly down the temple tunnel, stooping to examine the floor with your Witcher Senses to uncover the following:

  • Markings to indicate a lot of people came through here, carrying something heavy.
  • Something was dragged out of here.
  • A set of clothing stained with grass; this must belong to the village herbalist, Igor.
  • A pig. Through rudimentary snorts, you manage to strike up a conversation with the animal, and discover it to be Igor, the village herbalist!

Further into the chamber is a sunken altar surrounded by statues of swine. The largest of these statues peers down into a giant ornate offering container, which seems to have been stripped of all its gold and valuables; there’s only a single coin left.

Return and converse with the pig. Answer as you wish, and you formulate an idea of what happened. Of course, to prove the greedy villagers of Lurtch were cursed for stealing from this shrine, you need to confirm your suspicions with the idiot Yontek.
