The Hellhounds and their leader Hemon Beindel, who were occupying Fort Hellwood, were defeated. The terror they inflicted faded, and the fort found its peace once again.
Check the faction quest board regularly, as available quests rotate over time.
Completing faction quests increases your reputation with the local faction, unlocking access to better vendors and rewards.
Fort Hellwood sits west of Glenbright Manor in Hernand, south-west of the town of Senia. The fort is overrun by Hellhounds led by Hemon Beindel. The Rabid Hound of Hellwood is the first leg of the larger Hellhounds questline that also covers the inner and outer gates.
Access to the quest requires clearing most of the prerequisite House chains. Sources confirm you need:
Complete the House Alfonso questline.
Complete the House Roberts questline.
Finish 10 of 13 House Serkis quests, which includes defeating the Staglord.
Hemon Beindel wields The Hound, a unique two-handed sword. The fight plays out across three staged encounters as he retreats through the fort. His signature is a multi-hit slash combo that chunks your health bar if you try to out-trade it.
Focus Parry his slash combo. Activate Focus Mode (LS/L3 + RS/R3) and press LB/L1 just before the first hit connects.
If you prefer to skip the earlier two encounters, scale the mountain behind the fort and jump over the wall directly to the final encampment. This bypasses the staged retreat fights entirely.
Bring anti-bleed consumables; several Hellhound adds stack bleed.

The Hound is a strong two-handed sword option for builds that like wide-arc cleaves. Equip it straight away if you are coming out of early-game weapons.
After Beindel falls, do not leave. Continue into Hound's Gate (inner then outer) to finish the larger Hellhounds liberation and collect the remaining reputation and loot.

House Serkis (prerequisite faction).
