Mad Cow triggers when Brint puts on the armor found in the Harvest Valley Hollow. If left unattended, the armor transforms him into Brienne, unlocking new content but locking the player out of Brint's content forever.
This quest has an un-signposted ending trigger. If the Champion enters the Khor'minos Outskirts before completing the quest (even if it is in-progress), the quest ends, whether or not Brint is in the Champion's party. If Brint is mid-quest upon entering the Khor'minos Outskirts, the armor falls off, negating the transformation; if Brint has never put the armor on, the hollow in Harvest Valley caves in and the armor becomes inaccessible.

| 3 complete |
Go to Brother Sanders to remove the armor | You had Sanders halt the changes occurring to Brint. He employed enough power to destroy the armor entirely. All you have left of the experience is a confused — but whole and grateful — minotaur friend and the assurance nothing further will happen. |
| 4 complete |
Take no further action | The cursed armor has transformed the former minotaur stud into a knockout cowgirl. She seems to have retained all of her power and knowledge and is thus still suitable as a companion. All's well that ends well...? |
| 5 complete |
Arrive in the Khor'minos Outskirts mid-quest | The armor seems to have fallen off of its own accord. Brint is back to normal, and to your knowledge nothing more will happen. |
Acquisition Conditions
The quest is acquired if Brint equips the armor found in the Harvest Valley Hollow.
Once the Champion enters the Khor'minos Outskirts, the hollow collapses, rendering the armor and the quest inaccessible. If currently active, the quest will end prematurely with no changes to Brint. See Quest State 5.
Quick Summary

- 2. Tell Brint to equip the armor found in the hollow.
- 3. After 12+ hours, enter the Frost Hound. Regardless of how many days it's been since first equipping the armor, Brint tells the Champion that he cannot remove the armor, and that he's having narcissistic, gender-bending sex dreams anytime he closes his eyes.
- 4. Ends quest. Take Brint to Brother Sanders, who will remove the armor with a ritual, freeing Brint from its influence. Available any time before Quest State 4/"Wait and See" Step 6.
- 4. Do nothing. After at least two in-game days, Brint collapses in seeming heat the next time the Champion enters the Frost Hound.

- 7. The Champion comforts the cowgirl when she wakes up, and helps her pick a new name, test her stamina, find a new outfit, and, if they want, explore a new sexual relationship.
- 4. Ends or blocks quest. The Champion enters the Khor'minos Outskirts before Brint's transformation is complete. If Brint is in the party, the armor falls from him, melting into the ground. If he is not, the next time the Champion returns to the Frost Hound, they'll find Brint happily back in his old clothes, free of the armor. If the Champion has not started Mad Cow when they enter the Khor'minos Outskirts, the Harvest Valley Hollow will cave in, making the quest inaccessible.

Detailed Summary
Acquisition
The Harvest Valley Hollow
When exploring the Harvest Valley past northwest of the Marefolk Village, the Champion can find a large cliff with lush greenery hanging from its edge. The Champion notices that something is off: the roots hang perfectly down. The Champion can Investigate and enter the hollow hidden behind the greenery if any of the following conditions are met:
- Brint is in the party, giving the Champion a boost up;
- The Champion has an Agility range of at least 50%, allowing the Champion to acrobatically climb up;
- The Champion has Camping Supplies, allowing the champion to scale the cliff.
Once inside, the Champion notices a faint glowing on the cave walls from a series of inscribed runes in an unknown script. If the Champion is a Mage, they note the presence of passive magic within the area; if not, and Cait is in the party, she does. The Champion makes their way to a darkened room deep in the cave, which the Champion can enter or not.
If the Champion enters the cave, more wall runes flare, illuminating a large mannequin wearing a set of ceremonial armor, glowing and covered with additional runes. Party members can be asked if they'd like to try it on; all decline except for Brint, who eyes the armor carefully and states that the armor could fit him. The Champion then has two options:
| Option | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Brint | Tell Brint to equip the armor. |
| Exit Cave | Go back the way you came. |
The quest begins if the Champion selects Brint. If the Champion selects Exit Cave, they can return to the tile, select Hollow and begin the quest unless they have entered the Khor'minos Outskirts. See Quest State 5.
Putting on the Armor
The Champion tells Brint to go ahead, but be careful. Brint inspects the armor and notes that the armor is made of bronze painted gold, and begins to don the armor, which automatically straps itself to him, fitting him perfectly. Despite this strangeness, Brint equips the remaining pieces until only the neck-piece, a solid golden ring, remains. Brint states that he knows how to put it on and pushes the ring against his neck; the ring seems to pass through his body, solidifying on the other side. Brint immediately staggers, but recovers once the party makes their way outside.
Brint's Troubles
Routes
After at least 12 in-game hours, Brint approaches the Champion at the Frost Hound the next time the Champion returns to the inn. He shares two problems he's been having since he put on the armor: he can't remove it, and every time he sleeps, he has strange dreams in which he's a female cowgirl being fucked by himself. The Champion suggests that they ask Brother Sanders if he can help.
The Champion now can choose to take Brint to Brother Sanders to be examined or wait and see what happens. A hidden third route is triggered by Champions who enter the Khor'minos Outskirts mid-quest.
If the Champion brings Brint to Brother Sanders anytime before Quest State 4, an option to ask about Armor appears in the priest's menu.
| Option | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Armor | See if Brother Sanders can remove the magical armor from Brint. |
If selected, Sanders explains that the armor is severely cursed, and comments that it seems like an old method the marefolk used to handle their stallions in times gone by--the armor would have completely changed Brint within a matter of days. However, Sanders removes the curse, and the armor falls harmlessly from Brint. Sanders, relieved, asks if Brint is all right; Brint replies he's feeling fitter than ever. Sanders asks Brint and Champion to keep the situation a secret before becoming unavailable for the next six to seven hours to rest.
The quest ends here. See "Wait and See" and "Enter Khor'minos Outskirts" for alternate routes.
Brint's Heat
If the Champion decides not to bring Brint to Brother Sanders, Brint collapses the next time the Champion enters the Frost Hound with Brint in the party after at least two in-game days have passed. It looks like he's somehow gone into heat, panting and unfocused, and leaves the Champion with the following options:
| Option | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| Ask Arona | Get the orc studbitch to 'help' Brint out of his predicament. |
| Fuck Him | Bring Brint home and 'help' him yourself. He's looking pretty suggestible... |
| Ask Whore | Look for a whore in Hawkethorne to 'help' out your minotaur friend. There's gotta be at least one pretty girl in the town that'd leap at the chance to sleep with a real bull. |
| Wait It Out | Sit down and wait until Brint is better. You don't want to do anything that might exacerbate the problem, and if it's getting worse then you need all the time you can get to solve it. |
Arona eagerly takes Brint up to her room in the Frost Hound; several hours later, she comes downstairs, smug, satisfied, and smelling of sex. She tells the Champion that Brint was "like a girl:" moaning and begging for it. It occurs to the Champion that the armor may, in fact, be turning Brint into a girl--an idea Arona is deeply into, of course. Brint comes downstairs sometime later, feeling much better and grateful them both. The Champion worries the sex may have exacerbated Brint's problem, and about how quickly any further changes might progress.
The Champion gets Brint back to their room, where they discover that although they can't remove the armor, it can be adjusted aside as needed. They have two options:
| Option | Requirement | Tooltip | Variations |
| Fuck Ass |
|
Pound Brint nice and hard until he's better. |
|
| Ride Cock | - | Take Brint inside you and make him pop until he's better. |
|
The Champion fucks Brint anally, reaching around to help him orgasm, which he does very quickly; Brint then begs, in a soft, high-pitched voice, for more. The Champion notes that his cock seems like it may be smaller. After finishing, the Champion leaves Brint to sleep it off, and, downstairs at the bar, concludes that there's no question: Brint's becoming more submissive--and girlier. Some time later, Brint comes downstairs, feeling much better. He is grateful to the Champion, who thinks the sex may have exacerbated Brint's problem, and wonders how quickly any further changes might progress. This route returns control to the Champion the next evening, locking them out of visiting Sanders until the next day.

The Champion helps Brint find a prostitute, who takes him back to his room at the Frost Hound. Half an hour later, she comes downstairs and tells the Champion not to worry about payment. Some time later, Brint comes downstairs, feeling much better. He is grateful to the Champion, who worries the sex may have exacerbated Brint's problem, and wonders how quickly any further changes might progress. This route returns control to the Champion the next evening, locking them out of visiting Sanders until the next day.
The Champion and other party member, if there is one, sit down with Brint, who sleeps through the night with his head in the Champion's lap. He wakes in the morning, refreshed, grateful, and able to walk. This route returns control to the Champion the next morning, adding a day of Sanders' availability.
An in-game warning appears, stating that the Champion should visit Brother Sanders to prevent any further changes. See "Brother Sanders" route for the options and results of visiting Brother Sanders.
Brint Is Brienne
In Brint's Room
If the Champion does not ask Brother Sanders to remove the armor, the next time they enter the Frost Hound after at least two in-game nights AND with Brint in the party, the minotaur collapses. (The Champion can enter the Frost Hound without Brint in the party without triggering Brint's collapse; they can visit not-in-the-party Brint in the Frost Hound without triggering Brint's collapse; and they can sleep elsewhere without triggering Brint's collapse, so it is possible to 'extend' the time before Mad Cow's final stage, however, the end of Mad Cow will take priority over all other Frost Hound scenes if all conditions are met.)
The Champion and other party member, if there is one, drag Brint onto his bed at the Frost Hound, and the Champion stays to monitor the comatose minotaur. Suddenly, the cursed armor glows so brightly that the Champion has to look away. A noise like rattling chains regains their attention: the armor is dissipating into dust and light, leaving Brint unconscious in his regular clothes. After a moment, he begins to transform into a cowgirl. Once completed, the girl awakens, stating that she had the weirdest dream. The Champion has two options:
| Option | Requirement | Tooltip |
|---|---|---|
| Comfort | - | Make sure she's okay. This might be hard for her. |
| Plow Her |
|
Pound the fuck out of the amazon cowgirl as a welcome to her new role. |
The champion explains what happened, and the cowgirl--as laid-back as Brint--takes in the news calmly, even cheerfully. She chooses Brienne as a new name, and declares she'd like to make sure she can continue being an adventurer. She and the Champion fashion the bed sheet into a temporary top and head downstairs. The Champion talks to Garth about chopping some wood, who directs them to a head of logs in need of chopping just outside of town. Brienne and the Champion make their way to the logging site, away from any prying eyes.
Chopping Logs
Brienne thanks the Champion for coming with her and, wielding her axe one-handed, splits a log with conclusive force. She suggests that maybe she should test out her stamina as well, to make sure she's up for more than one swing. The Champion can suggest:
| Option | Tooltip |
|---|---|
| "Stamina Test" | There's another way to check if her stamina's up to snuff, and you've already got a pretty good idea of how you want to do it... |
| Cut Logs | - |
The Champion suggests another way to test her stamina, and Brienne grins. She admits she was getting worked up and was about to ask the same. After massaging Brienne's milky tits, the Champion realizes it's Brienne's first time, and it's up to them to choose a style of lovemaking that would suit her best:
| Option | Tooltip | Result | Variations | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rough | Give it to her hard, exciting the cowgirl's instincts and overwhelming her senses until she's cumming her brains out. | The Champion spanks Brienne before taking her vigorously from behind. She then happily suggests they return to the Frost Hound. |
| ||
| Loving | Usher her into femininity with gentle, sensuous sex and enough mindblowing orgasms to make her legs wobble. | The Champion kisses and fingers Brienne to her first orgasm, and she goes down on them. Mutually excited, the Champion fucks her to orgasm; finished, she wishes they could stay in bed the rest of the day. |
|
Back at the Frost Hound
When the Champion and Brienne return to the Frost Hound, Garth notices that Brienne is using one of the tavern's bedsheets as a bra. He tells them to ask Gwyn for help finding an actual bra--and for Gwyn to wash the bedsheet. Brienne finds a red leather bra that which once belonged to Gwyn's mom, Gweyr, which fits. Once Brienne has fitted it and given it some experimental squeezing, she asks for the Champion's thoughts.
| Option | Tooltip | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Looks Good | She looks nice. | The Champion compliments Brienne, who responds happily to the praise. She and the Champion return to the Frost Hound bar to eat, and look forward to their coming adventures. |
| Looks Hot | The sight of her walking around in a loincloth and a bra makes you want to ravish her. | The Champion admits her outfit makes them hot, and Brienne says she'll just have to help them with all that pent-up lust... After an exchange of heated kisses, Brienne requests a bite to eat. The two go to the bar to eat, and cheer their coming adventures. |
Should Brienne continue cutting logs, she keeps a steady rhythmic pace for a while until she suddenly stops. She shyly asks the Champion if they would like to have sex, as all the physical labor is getting her pretty worked up. The Champion can respond:
| Option | Tooltip | Variations | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sure | Why not? | - | |||
| ↳ | Rough | Give it to her hard, exciting the cowgirl's instincts and overwhelming her senses until she's cumming her brains out. |
| ||
| ↳ | Loving | Usher her into femininity with gentle, sensuous sex and enough mindblowing orgasms to make her legs wobble. |
| ||
| No | Not interested. | - | |||
The Champion spanks Brienne before taking her vigorously from behind. She then happily suggests they return to the Frost Hound.
Back at the Frost Hound
When the Champion and Brienne return to the Frost Hound, Garth notices that Brienne is using one of the tavern's bedsheets as a bra. He tells them to ask Gwyn for help finding an actual bra--and for Gwyn to wash the bedsheet. Brienne finds a red leather bra that which once belonged to Gwyn's mom, Gweyr, which fits.

The Champion kisses and fingers Brienne to her first orgasm, and she goes down on them. Mutually excited, the Champion fucks her to orgasm; finished, she wishes they could stay in bed the rest of the day.

At the Frost Hound Bar
Brienne sends the Champion back to the Frost Hound alone, and finishes chopping the wood herself. When she meets the Champion in the Frost Hound bar, Garth calls her over, and she sheepishly goes to get a top from Gwyn. Dressed, she makes her way back to the Champion, and raises her mug to further adventure.
Without waiting for an introduction, the Champion fucks the cowgirl to orgasm. After the Champion's own orgasm, the cowgirl says she doesn't remember them being such an animal, and they reply they couldn't help it. The cowgirl dresses herself in the bedsheet, and says she's going to go see if she can still fight. When the Champion asks what her new name is, she shrugs, chooses "Brienne," and leaves.
At the Frost Hound Bar
Half an hour later, Brienne finds the Champion in the Frost Hound bar. She says she might not normally have forgiven the Champion--except they made her come her brains out, so she considers them even. She reports can still fight, and is still up to be one of the Champion's companions. The Champion suggests she find a real top instead of a bedsheet, and she goes and gets a leather bra from Gwyn. Dressed, she settles down in the bar with Cait, and tells the Champion she'll be around when they need her.
The quest ends here. See "Brother Sanders" and "Enter Khor'minos Outskirts" for alternate routes.
If the Champion enters the Khor'minos Outskirts with a mid-quest Brint in the party, the golden armor shimmers, cracks, and falls away to disintigrate on the ground, to Brint's evident relief.
If the Champion enters the Khor'minos Outskirts with a mid-quest Brint staying at the Frost Hound, the minotaur, in his regular clothes, will happily greet them at the door of the Frost Hound the next time they enter. The armor disappeared one night while he was asleep, around the time the Champion head out for Khor'minos. He's happy to be getting uninterrupted sleep again.
If the Champion enters the Khor'minos Outskirts without beginning the quest, if they return to the Harvest Valley Hollow tile, they'll find that a recent mudslide has made any further exploration inaccessible. If there was a cave with loot in it, it's lost to them now.
Result
If the Champion does not have Brother Sanders remove the armor from Brint and does not enter the Khor'minos Outskirts before the final quest stage, Brint transforms into Brienne. The effects are irreversible.
