For anyone still wondering, I got the 3* like so:

In NG I fed the cyclops and then killed the male bandits, it gave me 2* and I was bummed.

On NG+ I only killed the male bandits and returned the quest and it gave me the third star. I'm not sure if you can still feed  the Cyclops when killing the banditos first, and frankly I can't be arsed to test this.

As it is quite early in the game I suppose you can easily just reset the quest progression with hard mode swapping, as it keeps everything but your questline and puts you back to Cassadis with the torn out fisherman's outfit. It's kinda like New Game + without the benefits of New Game +.
