The mountain overlooking the village of Svorlag to its west contains a Place of Power.
Nearest Signpost: Svorlag
Sign: Igni
The climb to the Place of Power is relatively peaceful, with no serious monster threats. The challenge is first reaching the island
where Svorlag is located, then making the climb to begin with.
You’ll have to pass through an abandoned building as you follow the path up the mountain. You need the to get a key to unlock the doors of the building, and once you are inside you need to use Aard to break through debris blocking your path.
The real obstacle at reaching the Place of Power is this jump. You must first break this barrier with Aard, then survive your attempt to jump across the gap from the abandoned building to the far ledge. From there, it’s a relatively simple climb up the mountain path to the Place of Power.
The road north from Redgill leads to a Place of Power, and the resting place of a powerful monster.

Sign: Aard
The biggest obstacle to reaching the Place of Power is a cyclops.
However, you can bypass the big guy by traveling to farther north beyond his courtyard, and climbing up a series of ledges, safely out of the cyclops reach, to reach the Place of Power inside the cave.
Following the mountain path south of the abandoned village of Fornhala, Geralt may come across this Place of Power.

No monsters or complicated climbing puzzles await Geralt at this Place of Power. You can see it to the west
of the road if you are traveling south from Fornhala, or on your right. You simply need to make the jump from a ledge to reach the raised hill overlooking the west side of the mountain, where the monument stands.
This Place of Power rests near a monument to Freya, west of Harviken on the isle of Faroe.

Sign: Yrden
The path to this Place of Power is not difficult to follow by itself. It’s the packs of white wolves and a forest infested with endrega that make
it difficult. If you want to avoid a fight, ride Roach at a full gallop following the rough terrain of the road up a mountain to where the Place of Power awaits.
At Yngvar’s Fang, overlooking Urialla Harbor, stands the final Place of Power.
Nearest Signpost: Yngvar’s Fang
Sign: Quen
Starting from Urialla Harbor, travel north west to the ‘Trail to Yngvar’s Fang’ signpost. From here, the long hike to Yngvar’s Fang begins. Your first threat on the path is met only a few dozen paces from the signpost, a maddened rock troll.
Continuing west on the trail forces you to start making risky jumps across some gaps, and climbing up ledges. Sirens and harpies control this area, so be prepared with your crossbow.
Continuing west, you cross another gap and reach a castle ruin. Look for a way to climb up outer area of the castle and reach a continuation of the trail.
You will know that you are on the right path when you enter a fog-shrouded portion of the trail. This is where the climb becomes far more precarious, with limited visibility making the jumps across gaps feel even more dangerous.
The fog never dissipates, regardless of the time of day. Be mindful of your climb during this last portion. Never run recklessly in the fog, it’s thick enough that it can blind you from lethal drops until it is too late. Concentrate on making the jumps and climbs as safely as possible, and you will eventually reach the peak, where the Place of Power awaits.
