Yennefer dismisses the wretched carcass of Skjall the Craven. Her ritual has caused a great destruction in the garden, and you are visited by the Priestesses of Freya, who are both betrayed and enraged at her. Yennefer expresses little remorse. Answer the priestesses as you wish. Afterwards, you focus on the information the dead Skjall told you. Speak to Yennefer about the following:
- The fact that Ciri isn’t in Skellige.
- The ugly creature is linked to Ciri somehow. It could even be Ciri herself, cursed by forces unknown.
Depending on how much of the adventure you have completed, this quest ends with the following options:
If you have completed Main Quest: Family Matters and Main Quest: Hunting a Witch (Velen), you reckon exploring Novigrad, and starting Main Quest: Pyres of Novigrad, is in order.
If you have completed Main Quest: The Play’s the Thing (in Novigrad), you think Main Quest: The Nilfgaardian Connection is a good plan.
If you haven’t completed up to either sets of quests in Velen or Novigrad, you are 
at a loss at what to do.
If you’ve completed Main Quest: Family Matters and Main Quest: Hunting a Witch (Velen), as well as Main Quest: The Play’s the Thing (Novigrad), Main Quest: Ugly Baby automatically begins.
In addition, Yennefer recommends you seek out Jarl Donar (who took the creature under his care) and ask him to whom exactly he sold the… gnarled lump you saw on the beach. Secondary Quest: A Mysterious Passenger automatically begins.
Finally, as Yennefer parts company with you, she hopes you’ll meet her in Larvik, as she has something to tell you. Secondary Quest: Last Wish becomes available. This quest will not start, however, if you already found Uma at Crow’s Perch.
