Drunken Boar quest walkthrough
1. Find the Yellow-Robed Squire in Rockrest Flat and talk to him

Chatting with the Yellow-Robed Squire reveals that he’s suffering from a hangover and needs a sobering antidote. Keep talking with him until you exhaust all dialogue options; he’ll mention Windrest - a hint on where to go next.
2. Obtain a Sobering Stone
To get to the hamlet, the closest Shrine is the “Windrest Hamlet” Shrine. If you haven’t unlocked this Shrine yet, you’ll need to defeatTiger Vanguardat the Crouching Tiger Temple and then go past his bloody pool up the stairs. Follow the path and tackle the enemies along the way until you get to the “Windrest Bridge” Shrine, and then keep going straight until you enter the village proper.

3. Give the Sobering Stone to Yellow-Robed Squire, and then find him again at Crouching Tiger Temple
Return to Rockrest Flat and give the Sobering Stone to Yellow-Robed Squire. He’ll finally get off his rear, but now he proclaims that he’s hungry for some meat. Head to the place with the most bloody rat meat in all of Chapter 2 - theCrouching Tiger Temple.

The Yellow-Robed Squire can be located in the second righthand alcove on the stairs leading up to the Crouching Tiger Temple, opposite where you’ll find a Meditation Spot. Speak with him and he’ll complain that the meat quality isn’t very good. Once again, he’ll make a request, asking you bring him some vegetables for his diet.
4. Give Jade Lotus to Yellow-Robed Squire
After you give the Jade Lotus to Yellow-Robed Squire, the boar will murmur that he once gave a piece of gold to a senior brother. He then disappears.
5. Obtain the Arhat Gold Piece from the First Prince of Flowing Sands
If you’ve begun the Yellow-Robed Squire’s questline, chances are that you’ve already defeated the First Prince of Flowing Sands. If you haven’t, you need to beat his father and brother first. Go to Sandgate Village and venture beyond the double doors where the two-headed Rat Captains patrol. You’ll enter an arena where you must fight theRat King and the Second Prince of Flowing Sands. For an easier combat, beat the Second Prince of Flowing Sands first, as the King will flee once his son is a goner.
Following this combat, head down the left-hand path from the arena and you’ll come upon a crevasse where the First Prince of Flowing Sand lurks. If the King fled, he’ll show up here and summon his first son to attack you. If you happened to kill the King, toss thePungent Flesh Chunkinto the crevasse to bring the angry First Prince of Flowing Sand upon you.

6. Return to Rockrest Flat and defeat the Yellow-Robed Squire
Once you’ve got the Arhat Gold Piece, return to Rockrest Flat and you’ll see Yellow-Robed Squire patrolling the area. He will challenge you to a fight immediately as he senses the gold in your posession. To make short work of him, avoid the sand clouds that hide his movements and ovewhelm him with Immobilise and A Pluck of Many. Thrust Stance is great to use in this battle to avoid his sand clouds.

7. Enter the Kingdom of Sahali and defeat “Tiger Vanguard”
Welcome to theKingdom of Sahali, a vision right out of Yellow Wind Ridge’s past. This is a small, self-contained area, but one that gives you a chance to see some of the events that have shaped the setting of Chapter 2.

“Tiger Vanguard"is the first boss of the area, and shouts a warning at you as soon as you appear. Unlike his terrible progeny, who you’ll have already battled to get this far, he’s far easier to defeat and boasts familiar tactics like a parry and a roar. Once he’s down, talk with him to receive permission to walk through the gates to the sandy dunes beyond.
8. Defeat Fuban

Despite its intimidating size, the fight against Fuban is a breeze compared to the other boss battles in Chapter 2, and feels the least Soulslike of the bunch. Attack the beetle’s legs while dodging its slam attacks, and when enough damage has been done, climb onto its back and interact with the Buddha vessel there. The Yellow Wind Sage will then join you in combat, allowing you to make short work of the insect - and finally bringing this long questline to its proper end.
