A Devil with a Jealous Fury

Reading a notice on the board in White Orchard points you in the direction of Odolan, who wishes someone to drive away a monster from a well in the nearby Abandoned Village. Odolan’s cottage is on the western outskirts of White Orchard. Head inside, barter a price for your services, and listen to his tale of woe.

Journey south along the woodland path and through the threshold of the Abandoned Village to the infamous well. After your quest updates, finding out what is haunting the place is achieved in one of two ways:

Using your Witcher Senses to spot the following:

• Scorch marks on the grass around the well.
• A body dried to a crisp close to some bushes.
• Visiting the well between the hours of 12 and 6 (day time) and meeting the noonwraith personally.

Assuming the noonwraith hasn’t shown yet, your quest updates, enabling you to read the Bestiary entry (under “Specters”) regarding the habits of these foul creatures. This noonwraith is bound to the village for some reason—time to find out why!

Three smaller objective areas appear on your minimap. The most promising is to the east, leading to the following discoveries once you use your Witcher Senses once more:

• The remains of a man stabbed with a knife.
• A yellowed diary on a bed, which should be read as it references a bracelet—the key to this haunting.
• A set of drag marks. That of a woman who fought for her life to no avail.

Travel back to the well and inspect the traces of blood on the taut well rope. Peering over the edge of the well, you discover the corpse of the woman who wrote the diary. The skeleton is missing an arm. Perhaps the bracelet she loved weighed down the arm so it fell into the water below?
