Step into the wilds near Lindenvale and hunt down the ferocious Howler, a deadly Chort (Czart)! This contract is packed with tracking, alchemy, and a brutal boss fight in a tight cave. #MysteriousTracks #WitcherHunt

Objectives List 📝🌲

Accept the contract from Lindenvale’s notice board and talk to the village hunter

Use Witcher senses to examine the dead wolves and follow the monster tracks

Investigate the tree with claw marks, then sniff out the scent trail

Find the hidden cave entrance near tombstones on the hill and drop inside

Examine the fiend’s corpse and deduce the killer is a Chort called Howler

Craft Chort Lure using Fiend Dung and Crow’s Eye found near the cave

Spread the lure at four marked spots around the hill

Return to the cave and wait for the Howler to appear

Defeat the Chort, claim its trophy, and collect your reward #ChortSlayer

Secrets List 🕵️‍♂️✨

Both Chort Lure ingredients (Fiend Dung, Crow’s Eye) are right outside the cave

The cave entrance is a rocky hole north of the tombstones—dropping in may cause fall damage

The Howler is stronger and faster than a standard Chort, so prep with potions and oils

The fight takes place in a cramped cave, making dodging more challenging

After the battle, loot the Chort for mutagens and rare alchemy parts #HiddenFinds

Boss Fight Guide 🐗🔥

Apply Relict Oil to your silver sword for bonus damage

Cast Quen before the fight to absorb heavy hits

The Howler charges and swipes—dodge to the sides and counterattack its flanks

Use Devil’s Puffball bombs to poison the Chort for extra damage

Dancing Star bombs can burn the Chort, exploiting its weakness to fire

Keep moving and avoid getting cornered in the cave’s narrow space

After victory, take the Chort trophy and return to the contract giver for crowns and glory #BossBattle

Enemies Guide 👹🦴

Howler (Chort): Fast, powerful, charges headfirst, swipes with claws, resistant to Aard

No minions or adds—focus all attention on the boss

Watch for sudden charges and heavy paw strikes

Bestiary entry

Chorts are smaller than fiends, true. But still big enough to kill.
– Agnes Thistle, herbalist from the Black Forest
Chorts are the somewhat smaller kin of fiends and bumbakvetches. Yet any witcher who thinks their diminutive stature means they present no danger commits a grave error – the kind that can end his career permanently. These denizens of dark and ancient woods are some of the most dangerous monsters known to man.
Legends often mistake chorts for sylvans, ascribing to them the ability to speak, stand on two legs, gobble up cabbage, play pranks and work mischief around the household. The arrival of a true chort in a region soon puts an end to such tales. The creatures do not speak, at best communicating with each other through grunts, snorts and moans. They get about on four legs and as for their "mischief"... they destroy farmsteads, devouring anything that can be devoured, including cabbage, if such is available, but also extending to poultry, pork, the family dog and then the family itself.
Chorts fight with little finesse, running straight towards their opponent and trying to knock him to the ground with the force of their charge. After downing their foe they bite, kick and strike with their claw-tipped paws. Due to their size and four-legged posture, they are mostly unperturbed by the force of the Aard Sign, and the regenerative powers of their body allow any wounds they receive to heal at a rapid pace.

Combat tactics
Tw3-chort

Chorts are speed and brute strength personified, rivaled only by fiends among relicts. They use their arms to pummel, claw, and smash their prey. They also charge with such speed they can barely control themselves as they smash head first into their unfortunate victims.



A less direct tactic involves using Devil's Puffball bombs to poison the chort. If you can drag it through the toxic fumes, it will breathe in the poison and ideally, help resolve the fight sooner. Although, not weak to fire itself, it is very weak to being burned.
