Meet Lord Capon at Dawn in the Courtyard of the Upper Castle
Head back to the Rattay Mill and sleep until dawn. Follow the objective to the east side of Rattay to meet Hans Capon. You can fail this if you don’t meet with Hans on time.
Follow Hans Capon
Talk to Hans Capon and choose either option as Henry will have to follow behind Hans on foot either way. After a while, the game will fast travel you to your destination. Continue to follow Hans Capon to a campsite.
Bring Capon Wine and Bacon from his Saddlebag
Head over to Hans’ horse and grab the wine and bacon from Hans Capon’s horse.
Wait Until Dawn
Sleep until 7 am.
Compete with Sir Hans at Hunting Hares
Search the woods for rabbits and bag as many as you can. I’d pick up as many arrows as you can scavenge from around your kill, because let’s be honest, you’re (most likely) not going to bring the animal down in one shot. At noon the quest will automatically update.
Go Back to the Camp
Follow the objective back to camp.
Wait for Sir Hans
After some time passes, the objective will automatically update.
Talk to Sir Hans
Talk to Hans to trigger a cutscene. If you managed to beat him at the hunting challenge, he’ll give Henry 100 Groschen.
Follow Hans Capon
Follow Hans northwest. Eventually, he will get off his horse and a cutscene will trigger.
Run Down the Boar
This objective will automatically fail if you don’t have a horse to chase it on. Otherwise, follow the boar until the objective updates.
Find Hans Capon
Follow the objective to find Hans around the northwest corner of the search area.
Rescue Hans Capon
There will be two captors you will need to defeat. One is an archer and the other has a sword and shield. It is possible to free Hans without alerting them to your presence. It’s best to create a new save in case you do get spotted.
Untie Sir Hans
Find the tree that Sir Hans is tied to and untie him. This will trigger a quick cutscene.
Talk to Sir Hans
Talk to Hans Capon to trigger another cutscene that will complete The Prey quest.
