Okay, maybe I am missing the obvious, but when I try to do this quest, I always fail at the instruction "Run the Slalom". How on earth do I do that?

make sure you are on the OUTSIDE of the markers when you pass them.

Marth Reynolds · Aug 26, 2007, 07:52 AM // 07:52

that and it's bugged, giving almost a 50% chance to fail the quest even if walking correctly

(tip: walk under the little pointers of those stones, that's the proper side)

You're probably are doing what I did at first and cutting the corners too wide.

You need to make sure to keep away from the post you just passed, otherwise you fail the quest.

You need to zig-zag between all the poles. I almost missed one once because I didn't turn my view enough, so make sure to stay a bit zoomed out.

What's strange is that my run was bugged. After repeatedly failing the slalom, I restarted and:

Drank from both barrels
Moved the three barrels
Drank from both barrels
STARTED the slalom (didn't even go past the first post)
Quest updated, saying it was complete.

And I got the reward for it.

It's so easy if you just turn off Post-Processing Effects.

I found it all easy, with exception of pigs.

Just dont have enough time in the end to herd those damned things.

Make sure you also keep moving forward

Great fun, forgot to lower graphics tho, so was kinda nuts. The time I managed it, I think one of the pigs wandered in on their own, making it easier

The problem is that the first flag has to be passed on the side that you come from.

So you should move to the riight of the first target and then turn left starting the slalom

You can see on which side you have to pass a flag by the small ropes (or something) hanging on that side. (Check this out before you start the quest so you know what i am trying to say here

)

it helps if you sorta 'pre-herd' the pigs before you start the quest. At least make sure 3 are near the entrance before you begin.

Um, I just did the herding first without taking the quest. Once you get three different pigs in there (which is the hard part), the quest will update and you can take the reward. Also, you the pigs do not actually have to stay inside the building, you merely need to get them in there once. After that, the pig can wander out of the building on its own (This was confirmed by a guildmate while she was attempting to do this quest with semi-horrible lag). Just make sure you get three separate ones in there.

Happy Questing! =)
