Another recent thread discussed how Perception of 11 or 12 will see pretty much the best-hidden traps; if I were a betting man I'd lay money that perception 9 is just not enough for the Witch's chest.
You may be right. The thing is, I just thought that this boar saving thing is an alternative for the need of having high Perception stat. It would nicely go along with the general quest structure in the game (and many other games fot that matter) - I can choose go the easy way in a quest if I have the right tools and if I don't, I must go the hard way. As in, if I don't have high enough Per to find the treasure myself, I can save the boar and he will dig this chest up for me. But if I still must meet the Per requirement... well, this defeats this subquest's entire purpose. In fact, this isn't an alternative at all. It's very unlike Larian to do such thing.
And I thank the both of you for the help with the SparkMaster quest. I'll go back to Cyseal right away and check the Legion basement.
