The door behind the arguing jarls is open, allowing you to head downstairs (southward) deeper into the keep. Yennefer is here to visit Ermion’s laboratory (without an invitation). Follow Yennefer, keeping behind her so you don’t attract any guards, and speak to her about the Mask of Uroboros (which she intends to steal). This stairwell stroll and a pair of doors are guarded by a murder of crows—Ermion’s spies.
Simply head to the nearby window, walk outside, cross the outer balcony to the next window, and open it. You appear past the door, with more stairs down, through a portcullis and into a mysterious room. It is filled with stuffed animals. Use your Witcher Senses and uncover the following:
- There are four bears, ten wolves, and four deer. All motionless.
- There is a roughly hewn altar with a basin of water for teleprojection.
- A door to the side is locked, and you cut yourself opening it. The room is filled with an eerie glow. Those animals aren’t stuffed, they’re alive!

Does this room smell like mushrooms? Weird. No matter. Brandish your sword and begin to slash at the three animals attacking you (usually a bear and two wolves). Once they’ve been removed, expect three wolves and a bear. Slice and dice them, before the last foes (a wolf and two bears) must be defeated. Then you collapse in a heap, unaware that you were hallucinating and the animals were still stuffed! Still, the side door is open now. Head on through (to the west).
