The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide Secondary Quests Secondary Quests: Kaer Morhen (6)

Monster Slayer

Locations: Lakeside Hut, Troll Cave

Characters: None

Enemies: Drowners, Rock Troll

Post Mortem

Objective:
  • Find out what’s killing drowners near the lake.

The tumbledown Lakeside Hut (signpost) north of Kaer Morhen is the scene of a strange discovery. The corpse of a drowner, mutilated by hands that weren’t human. You are tasked with finding the massive hands that crushed and tore at this body, but your objective area is somewhat gigantic. Shorten the search area by heading northeast, following the lake bank and watching for drowners. Look for the triangle-shaped island (on your world map), and the gully to the east, which ends at a small cave where one of the oldest trolls you’ve ever seen is shambling about.

End: Dissident Aggressor

Objectives:
  • Kill the troll.
  • Search the troll’s lair.
  • Read the letter.

Defeat this worthy adversary and begin to search the cave, using your Witcher Senses. Aside from more drowner corpses, you uncover the following valuables (including an old letter that you must read), and shine a light on past battles… as the quest concludes.

ITEM: Maniscript Page, Runestone, Quest Item: Old Letter
