Prologue - Boar Hunting

  I have been having major issues with this. I never ever lag but in this mission I lag like crazy. I load up rock throwing and click on a boar to hit it, as I run up to it a bit to do so after clicking my screen freezes for a second and I am suddenly right next to them and they hit me. Sometimes I can still get away while in deadly to go up the ladder (Which is also a pain to click on cause half of the time it doesn't respond), but it is needless to say that the same thing happens the second time and then while already in deadly I am of course hit to death.
  
  Anyone else having this issue and how do you deal with it? This is really frustrating. :gloom3:

  throwing rock itself is a glitchy skill that will frequently result in position lag.
  
  I had to throw rock by the ladder and if the ladder glitched, I simply went behind it.

  Yeah, it's like crossing a loading zone right there in the mission.
  
  I ended up loading throw rock, inching forward, clicking on the ground, not the enemy, and waiting for the lag to happen and subside before throwing the rock, if they hadn't aggro'd me, or running away and luring them slightly closer for the next attempt.

  Yeah, but the lag didn't happen for my friend. Not as bad as I have it in this mission. I showed him via screenshare and he could also see that as soon as I went to hit a boar I literaly had my screen freeze before I am right next to the boars getting beaten up. Also even if I can make it to the ladder, it doesn't always respond either when you click on it.
  
  I finally managed to get it done though, but they seriously need to fix that awful lag for this mission because outside of this mission I rarely ever lag, except a bit whenn I go to Belvast on trade channel. This mission was a lot more frustrating than it should have been.

  I have some advice. To be honest, the factors that were giving me issues was that one, rock throwing will prevent me from moving after I use the action for ~1 second, two, the angle of the camera makes me click a different ladder that I did not intend for, three, the boars can one shot me, and four, lag hurts.
  
  After messing around for a bit I found some solutions.
  
  1. Keep the camera angle low, and perpendicular to the ground.
  2. Stand near a ladder before attempting a rock throw.
  3. Throw a rock (AND ONLY ONE) to the closest boar, as far as possible.
  4. Get back to the ladder. There should enough time due to distance for you to get back to the ladder.
  5. Come back down.
  6. Repeat steps 2-5 three times.
  7. Find a new boar, and stand next to a latter that is close to the boar. You may want to switch ladders every 2-3 boars depending on spawn location.
  8. Repeats step 2-7 until you drive off all the boars.
  9. Fight the boss, by alternating smash and defense. Also possible to learn counterattack, but be careful when doing so.
  
  If you follow these steps, it should only take you around ~3 minutes to finish the mission. It's possible with lag, but it'll be a bit harder. As long as you stand close to a ladder when throwing a rock and keeping your distance, you should be fine.

  Just do it the lazy way(my way) and continuously re-enter until they're glitched :)))

  Also helps to click the floor multiple times since sometimes it doesn't register your visual location
