Descent Into the Dragonslayers Grotto

You may have heard whispers about a place just northwest of Downwarren, and west of Reardon Manor, the Dragonslayer’s Grotto. The clues fit this place so travel there now. It’s a slog across forest and hills, and the entrance to the grotto is hidden in the woods (and shown in the picture). Slay any endrega at the entrance, then use your Witcher Senses to uncover the mark of the witcher’s wolf Sign at the entrance itself.

Enter the catacombs, and you’re immediately set upon by three wraiths. Expect further incursions from these foes as you search the first chambers for loot. Light any candles or torches you see, so you know where you’ve been. Go roughly north down a narrow passage, face more wraiths, and blow apart the crack in the weak stone wall using Aard. Venture into the more natural cavern, heading east and south along the tunnel, and remove a rock block with Aard. This wakes up a nasty ekimmara, so battle this vampire with skill (and Yrden), and venture up into the tomb itself.

Loot the weapon’s rack, climb the stone steps (lighting braziers if you wish), until you find the stone tomb of witcher George himself. Next to it is a “glimmering” chest with a real find—all four of the remaining diagrams for the Griffin School! Also in the chest is George’s journal. Read it to uncover some of his thoughts regarding a “green dragon” and peasants taking refuge in elven ruins. Perhaps more diagrams are in one of these forgotten places? But now, this treasure hunt concludes.
