I was in hell today and there was a very unhappy piggy and there was nothing I could do, couldn't even drop food for the poor guy.........this isn't right :(
I know! You can't even feed him because he's too sad ):
As far as I know, though, there's not any way to rescue him. A staff member would probably have to do it, or he'll just die eventually.
Once I conducted a tragic experiment with piggies in hell (never again! perish the thought!), and discovered you could hogtie them with a little piggy bait. But people rarely die prepared for a piggy rescue I'd wager.
I have some unused piggy bait in my inventory--if I happen to die and see him there, I'll grab him... more likely than not, he'll "ascend" before that happens. Don't worry--he's going to a better place.
I had some bait and couldn't rescue piggies in hell either :/ Sad piggies in parties, however, can be rescued! (Although I don't understand why they'd be sad at a party :P )
