How To Put Out The Pigs Divinity 2

Alright, settle in folks, grab your lattes (or your dwarven ale, I'm not judging), because we need to talk about something serious. Something pig-level serious. I'm talking about those poor, flaming porkers in Divinity: Original Sin 2. Yeah, you know the ones. They're running around Cyseal, screaming bloody murder, and frankly, it's a bit of a mood killer. Nobody wants crispy bacon screaming at them while they're trying to loot some ancient ruins, am I right?

Why Are They On Fire Anyway? (And Why Should I Care?)

Okay, picture this: you're just chilling, munching on some grub, and suddenly BAM! Fire from the sky! That's basically what happened to these poor oinkers. Some mischievous sourceror (probably named Kevin, because it's always Kevin, isn't it?) decided to have a little fun with some cursed fire. Now, these pigs are super flammable. Like, "lights up like a Christmas tree" flammable. And the best part? They're cursed. So just splashing water on them won't do. It's like trying to put out a grease fire with more grease. A spectacularly smelly, screaming grease fire.

But why should you care? Well, besides the obvious "it's just plain cruel" factor, these pigs are actually tied to a quest. A pretty important one, in fact. Free them from their fiery torment, and you might just get a reward. A reward that could involve loot, experience, or maybe even a lifetime supply of...well, not bacon, hopefully. That would be a bit morbid, wouldn't it?

The Pig-Extinguishing Playbook: A Step-by-Step Guide

Alright, time to get down to brass tacks (or should I say, brass tacks?). Here's the fool-proof (mostly) method for putting out these porcine infernos:

1. Get Blessed: This is the key. You need the 'Bless' spell. If you don't have it, you can either learn it (check with some vendors or trainers) or find a scroll. Seriously, don't even bother trying anything else until you have Bless. Think of it as the fire extinguisher for cursed critters.
2. Find the Pigs: They're usually hanging out near the beach in Fort Joy. You can't miss them; they're the ones running around like tiny, bacon-flavored comets, screaming in agony. A true spectacle for the ages.
3. Cast Bless: Now comes the fun part! Target the flaming pig with your 'Bless' spell. Watch as the cursed fire is extinguished, and the pig…well, it's still a pig. But now it's a grateful pig. (Allegedly. They don't actually say "thank you." Pigs are rude like that.)
4. Rinse and Repeat: You'll probably have to do this a few times. There are multiple pigs, and they all need a little bit of divine intervention to cool off.

Important Note: Make sure you're close enough to the pig to cast the spell effectively. Range is crucial. Nobody wants to waste a precious Bless scroll on a pig that's just slightly too far away.

Pro-Tips for the Aspiring Pig Savior

Okay, so you've got the basics down. But here are a few extra tips to elevate your pig-saving game from "meh" to "magnificent":

• Positioning is Key: Keep your party members spread out. Those pigs might be small, but their flames are surprisingly contagious. You don't want your entire party turning into human torches.
• Use the Environment: If you can lure the pigs near a source of water (even a puddle!), that can help a little. It won't put out the cursed fire completely, but it can at least reduce the damage they're taking (and dealing). Think of it as a pig-sized swimming pool.
• Be Prepared for a Fight: Sometimes, things don't go according to plan. Certain enemies might try to interfere with your pig-saving operation. Be ready to throw down if necessary. And for the love of all that is holy, don't accidentally set the pigs on fire again during the fight!

What Happens After? (The Grand Finale)

Once you've extinguished all the piggies, congratulations! You're a hero! ...Sort of. Now it's time to find the quest giver, who will appear near the pigs, and claim your reward. What reward? Well, I'm not going to spoil it for you! But let's just say it's worth the effort. Plus, you get the satisfaction of knowing that you saved some innocent (and delicious-looking) creatures from a fiery fate. You might even unlock some hidden secrets in Fort Joy. The place is full of them, like a dwarven beard is full of crumbs.

So there you have it, folks! The definitive guide to putting out those pesky pigs in Divinity: Original Sin 2. Now go forth and spread some blessed water (metaphorically speaking, of course). And remember, even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference. Especially when it involves saving a bunch of screaming, flaming pigs. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm suddenly craving bacon...
