• Once you get the crafting materials, you need to craft Extinguish with Sling.
• You need to use your sling to put a fire at the entrance to the church. We suggest staying where you are and hiding until two guards are within attack range.
• When one of the guards moves a little to the left, use the fire extinguisher with a sling to extinguish his torch.

• After that, hordes of rats will eat the guard alive.
• This event will now be followed by another guard investigating the guard, leaving the Herbalist alone.
• While he is walking there, you need to fire another projectile from your sling to extinguish his torch. This will cause the rats to eat the other guard alive.

While rescuing the Herbalist doesn’t earn you any achievements or narrative changes, it does retain a piece of dialogue that Amika feels guilty about.
