  • Once you have got the crafting materials, you need to craft the Extinguish with the Sling.
  • You need to use the sling to put the fire at the entrance of the church. We suggest staying put and hidden until the two guards get in the range to attack.
  • As one of the guards wanders a bit to left, use an Extinguish with the sling to extinguish his torch.

  • Upon doing so, the hordes of rats will eat the guard alive.
  • Now, this event will be followed by another guard investigating the guard leaving the Herbalist alone.
  • As he goes there, you need to shoot another projectile with a sling to extinguish his torch. This will result in the other guard getting eaten by the rats alive.
