To complete this quest, you must help the Deer recover from these injuries and take revenge on that unknown winged creature. To repay for your help, the deer will guard your campfire from the cultists and other wild animals.

Follow these steps to complete this quest faster:

Step 1: Locate the Deer

While moving towards the east direction from your campfire, you can find the Deer's near-dead body lying in a clear patch of land.

Step 2: Heal the Deer

As you approach, you'll find the animal with a broken antler and twisted leg. To heal it, you must use a med kit to fix its leg and apply a bandage to attach the antler. Furthermore, you must provide the Deer with food like carrots, soup, etc., to help it recover faster.

Step 3: Save it from attack

During the recovery phase, wild animals like wolves will attack the Deer. You have to defeat these attackers.

Step 4: Give it Purple Fur Tuft

Once fully recovered, you can give it the Purple Fur Tuft that will help track down the mysterious creature. Follow the trail behind the Deer to find its cave. The cut scene will show their fight, after which you can enter that cavern to find a chest and unlock it.
