The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide Secondary Quests Secondary Quests: Skellige: Ard Skellig (27)

A Bard's Beloved

Locations: Palisade, Troubadour’s Cave

Characters: The Troubadour

Enemies: Water Hag, Drowners

Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places

Objectives:
  • Find the troubadour’s “beloved.”
  • Defeat the Water Hag.
  • Nearest Signpost: Northeast of Palisade.

In southeast Ard Skellig, journey eastwards from the Palisade, following the woodland path before breaking off to the northeast and finding a secondary path leading to the cave entrance pictured. Enter the cave, where you’ll hear the plaintive cries of a troubadour. He begs you not to wake his sleeping “beloved”. He seems agitated. And possibly simple.

End: A Sweetheart! Fresh and Scrumptious!

Tread deeper into the cave tunnel, under there’s water under foot. At the end of this cave, something saggy and grotesque awakens. It seems the troubadour’s object of affection is a water hag. Perhaps it’s her personality? No, she wants to kill you. Slay this foul monster, and collect the ingredients she carries as the quest concludes. The bard disappears.
