The Peasants' Revolt is a short task in the
Kuttenberg region. Locals push back against Sigismund's army. The journal entry is quick, but the payout stacks: top-tier potions from Herbwoman Vlasta plus Otter's riverside stash (see interesting sites checklist).
How to unlock The Peasants' Revolt
Finish Speak of the Devil (
Speak of the Devil). Visit
Devil's Den and speak with Kubyenka. Ask about the rebellious peasants and offer help.
He shares the password “The fox is in the henhouse.” and points you to Herbwoman Vlasta, who lives in a lone hut hemmed by hedges and trees southwest of Miskowitz. The marker updates accordingly.
Say the password
Find Vlasta and speak the line “The fox is in the henhouse.”
- Optional: pass a skill check first for easy reputation.
- Then be honest about your ties to Zizka; she trusts you immediately.
She backs the young fighters and hands you supplies: bread and Marigold Decoctions for the woods camp farther southwest.
The rebel camp
Follow the objective deeper southwest into the forest. The camp was ambushed; rebels are already dead.
Saving Otter
Only Otter survives, badly wounded on the ground. Patch him up with a medium Survival check.
Right after a successful heal the game skips one hour and four wolves raid the site.
If you are chasing Lent (no weapon kills on enemies), do not cut or shoot the wolves. Use kicks to shoo them or let Otter land kills while you avoid weapon credit. Full route notes: Lent guide: The Peasants' Revolt.
Finishing with Vlasta
After the wolves, talk to Otter again. He admits the revolt is finished for him and offers his hidden coin stash as thanks.
The stash is not the journal step. Your active task is to return to Vlasta and report. Visit her hut, close the quest, then chase the treasure below.
Otter's treasure location
The haul tracks as Otter's Treasure. Otter pins it on your map.
Sit along the river running southeast from Miskowitz, east of a roe deer hunting spot.
How to get the money
Coins sit in a ceramic jug on a cliff you cannot climb. Shoot it with an arrow or throw a stone. The jar shatters and a money bag (~850 Groschen) splashes into the water below. Wade in and loot it.
Completion and rewards
Once Otter is handled and wolves cleared, loop back to Vlasta near
Miskowitz with the bad news. She still pays you for trying and for keeping Otter alive.
Vlasta's payout:
- 2× Strong Aqua Vitalis (Aqua Vitalis family)
- 2× Strong Marigold Decoctions (Marigold Decoction)
- 2× Strong Painkiller Brews (Painkiller Brew)
Add Otter's ~850 Groschen from the jug route for a strong early Kuttenberg windfall.
The Peasants' Revolt FAQ
Can I fail Otter?
Yes. If Survival is too low, grind a few levels, buff with food or potions, or reload before the check.
What if I lose the bag in the river?
Quick-save before the shot. The pouch can drift; scan the shallows or reload and try a cleaner angle.
Is the treasure missable?
You need Otter's map ping. Finish his dialogue chain so the interesting site unlocks.
