WHERE SHOULD I GET THE MEAT TO BAIT THE WOLF TO GET MUTT kcd2

You don’t actually need to buy meat anywhere special for this step of the Mutt quest in KCD2—the game provides you with what you need, and there are a couple of valid ways to bait the wolves.

Quick Scoop on the Bait

When you reach the part of the Mutt quest where you must “bait the wolves,” the shepherd (Siegfried) explains different ways you can lure them out. The quest area is near his hut on the slope with birch trees, and the game recognizes several bait options.

You are not locked into a single source of meat, and the quest is generous about what counts as “bait.”

Where to Get the Meat

You can use any ordinary meat item in your inventory as bait. Common options include:

  • Meat looted from animals you’ve hunted (deer, rabbits, etc.).
  • Meat bought from an inn, trader, or cook earlier in your playthrough.
  • Meat scavenged from carcasses you encounter while exploring.

If you already have meat in your inventory, you can simply use that; the game doesn’t require a specific vendor or location for “quest meat.”

In other words: you don’t have to go to a special shop just for this step—any meat item works as long as you can drop it in the quest area near the birches.

Alternative: Using Ignatius the Ram

The quest also offers a more “scripted” solution: using Ignatius the ram as living bait.

  1. Talk to Siegfried, the shepherd north of Tachov / Kopanina area, when the quest sends you to him.
  1. He tells you about Ignatius, the not‑too‑bright ram, and suggests leading him up the slope.
  1. Give Ignatius a carrot so he follows you, walk him to the marked spot by the forked birches, and leave him there.
  1. Hide in the nearby dense bushes and wait for the wolves to appear.

Ignatius is technically one “bait” option; regular meat you place on the slope is another. Both satisfy the quest’s “bait the wolves” objective.

How to Actually Place the Bait

Once you’re at the correct hill below the shepherd’s hut:

  • Walk to the slope near the jagged/forked birch trees marked by the quest.
  • Use the interaction prompt to drop meat in the designated area (or position Ignatius there).
  • Then move to the thick bushes nearby and hide until a short wait triggers the wolves’ arrival.

The game checks the bait and your position; if you’re too far away or haven’t placed the meat near the right birches, the wolves won’t spawn.

If You’re Stuck / No Meat in Inventory

If you reach the hill and realize you have no meat at all :

  • Backtrack briefly to:
    • Any nearby village or inn and buy meat from an innkeeper or trader.
* Hunt small game around the fields or woods and butcher it for meat.
  • Return to the quest marker and drop the meat by the birches as described above.

This is usually faster than trying to find some specific “quest-only” meat source, because the game doesn’t insist on one.

After Baiting the Wolves

Once the wolves arrive:

  • Kill or drive off at least one or two; the rest often flee if enough are wounded or killed.
  • You can save Ignatius if you’re quick, but there is no hard fail state if he dies —the quest continues.
  • After this step, Siegfried sends you on to the gamekeeper Vostatek, and eventually you follow the last wolf trail to the cave where Mutt is.

So for your exact question—“Where should I get the meat to bait the wolf to get Mutt?” —the practical answer is:

  • Use any meat item you already have or can easily buy/hunt,
  • Place it on the slope by the jagged/forked birches near Siegfried’s hut ,
  • Or skip meat entirely and use Ignatius the ram as bait instead.

TL;DR:
You don’t need special quest meat—any meat in your inventory works, placed by the marked birch trees near Siegfried’s hut, or you can use Ignatius the ram as bait to trigger the wolves and progress the Mutt quest in KCD2.
