To complete this quest, the Courier must either kill all of the White Legs at Bighorn Bluff, or steal their war totems. The White Legs are split into two separate camps that are rather close to each other. Each camp has roughly three White Legs, and one war totem is located near the front of the camp. As the totems are relatively separate from the living area tents, choosing the nonviolent option should allow for a relatively easy time sneaking in to take them, so long as the White Legs' movement patterns are taken into account.
Once all of the target White Legs are killed, or both of the totems are obtained, the quest is completed, though if the White Legs discover the player character while stealing their totems, the quest will complete but they will continue to attack. The method of quest completion chosen has no impact on the add-on ending.

Optional: Wipe out the White Leg encampments at Bighorn Bluff.
Notes[]
According to Waking Cloud, the White Legs consider the loss of a war totem prior to a battle to be a bad omen. She believes that if the totems are stolen, the White Legs in the camps associated with the missing totems will likely refuse to participate in the looming attack.[1]
It is possible to complete both optional parts of the quest, but it requires good timing. When the Courier kills the last of the White Legs, it is possible pick up the last of the White Legs war totems.
Stealing the war totems has no effect while fighting the White Legs.
Sometimes up to two yao guai or two giant green geckos will appear and attack the White Legs at one of the camps.
Similarly, they may be found under attack by cazadores when approaching one of their camps.

↑Courier: Any advice on how to deal with the situation? Waking Cloud: You might rush them and take them by surprise. We would be badly outnumbered then, though, and these will be strong fighters. We might also use their superstition against them. White Leg warriors believe that to lose their totems on the eve of battle is a terrible omen. Waking Cloud's dialogue Courier: So the totems are sacred to them somehow? Good to know. Waking Cloud: Yes. If their war totems were to... "disappear," they would likely lose the will to fight.
