They head out and Hamish tries to shoot it but misses. The boar flees up the mountain and the protagonist chases after it. After meeting up with Hamish, the pair follow the boar's trail on their horses before splitting up.
Hamish finds the boar first and it chases him. It eventually overpowers Hamish and gores him. The protagonist finds Hamish dying, who tells them to take care of his horse Buell for him.
