The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide Quest Walkthrough: Act I (Novigrad) Secondary Quest: Redania's Most Wanted

The Perfect Hideout for an Owl

Objectives:

  • Open Philippa’s hideout.
  • Search Philippa’s hideout.

Drop down the hole, and descend into the tunnel the witch hunters have excavated. The stairs lead down to a barred gate archway with a magical barrier beyond.

Go back up the stairs a few paces, and examine the indent in the ivy wall (Witcher Senses help find it). Press the tile into the wall, and the barrier is removed. The gate swings open.

Descend to a junction chamber with two arches on either side. In front is a sheer drop into a cavernous lower chamber where you must go (without falling and killing yourself, of course). The right arch leads to a ledge and a nasty drop). The left arch leads to a portal, which is actually working. Step into it.

You enter a stone chamber with rocks and rubble, and a few scattered barrels. Use your Witcher Senses:

  • There is a remex (an owl feather) with its edge frayed.

Head up the stairs to the southeast, turn left, and engage a group of nekkers down some more steps. After slaying both of them, descend to a deactivated portal on a stone ledge. Approach the power cell (an activation crystal), and use your Aard Sign to spin it into activation. Then step into the portal.
