11 Eavesdrop on Beighen Villagers Conversation
22  
33 The Bared Fang main quest in Chapter 7 introduces the eavesdropping mechanic for the first time. You need to listen in on a conversation between two villagers in Beighen. The in-game tutorial is somewhat misleading about how eavesdropping works, which leads many players to get stuck on this objective.

1818 Do not go to the back of the barn and try to look through the window using L1/LB. Even though the tutorial mentions holding L1, looking through the window does not count toward the objective. You must lean against the wall on the windowless side first. The lean action (L3) is the step that most players miss because the tutorial does not emphasize it clearly enough.

2222 If the L1 prompt does not appear, reposition yourself along the wall and try leaning again. You may need to be closer to the center of the wall.Eavesdropping is used again in later quests, so it is worth learning the lean-then-listen sequence here.After completing this objective, you receive information that advances the Bared Fang questline.
