How to complete Boar Hunt Quest?
Wild Boar is a giant animal found grazing in the Northern Plains. To unlock the quest talk to the old man at the entrance of the village. You will unlock the quest by talking to the person, later you will have to find the Wild Boar.
Exit the village and walk to the east, cross a wooden bridge and you will be in the Northern Plains. You will find a lot of sheep grazing around. This is where you will find the Wild Boar, just explore around and the wild animal is fairly visible. It won’t do anything unless you attack. It is not easy to defeat the boar, it will use a charge and throw attack. It is almost not possible to tackle this boar from the front. Here are some quick tips on how to defeat the boar in Nier Replicant?
- Use Magic instead of Sword.
- Lure the boards towards mountains or rocks. It will charge and hit the rock, this will stun the animal.
- You will have to dodge its charging attack and then hit from the backside.
- Avoid tackling the animal from the font, let him charge and then the Boar will stop.
The boar will take some breaks before he goes with the second charge. This is your window to hit the animal. Do not stand in the front of the head, target the back legs and you will be able to easily hunt the Wild Board in less time. If you get caught in its charge attack you will lose a major chunk of your health in one blow.

Collect the above rewards after defeating the boar. To unlock the boar riding ability return the old man back to the village. You will have to return one item to the old man and you will unlock the boar riding ability. Next time when you visit Northern Plains you can grab a ride. You can also use the board to attack smaller enemies. So this is how you can complete Boar Hunting quest in Nier Replicant.
