Objective:

The exterior view over the Isle of Undvik is as beautiful as the interior of the forge is grotesque. Open the main door into the forge, where more than twenty of Hjalmar’s men are butchered and hung like sides of beef in this giant’s pantry.
If Folan is with you, he remarks on this horror.
The horror is further exacerbated by an ambush from three rotfiends (devourers) bursting from a side chamber to the north. Cut them down (or better yet, lob a bomb into the enclosed antechamber they spring from, before they spread out), then exit the building to the east. Use your Witcher Senses:
- There are a number of old tracks; the giant comes here often to feed.
Follow the trail of giant footprints down the pathway from the forge, across the gully and northeast to a cliff you aren’t able to climb. You need to find another way around.
Step back to the path, then head downhill (northwest), following the path down toward the lake, passing some human-sized footprints along the way. Run past the lake (on your left), between a fishing hut and small boathouse, and begin to climb a wooded hillside gully. The footprints lead up the hill path, toward what was one of the main villages on Undvik—the Dorve Ruins.
Head through the village threshold gate, and you encounter a Skelliger battling against some sirens. Help the fellow see off two of these flying foes, after which you’re introduced to Hjalmar himself. He knows of your adventures, and you can speak about your task (to help him), and quickly check on his crew-mate (who sadly didn’t survive the siren attack). After that, the bull-headed Hjalmar decides a dash up to the Giant’s lair is in order.
If Folan is with you, he and Hjalmar speak about Cerys’ decision to head to Spikeroog alone. They also banter back and forth as you climb the hill to the giant’s lair.
