The Road To Hell Is Paved With Curiosity, P---Klicker
Objective:
Search the nearby fields.
Run roughly northwest out of Midcopse, and slow down as you reach the objective area in the pasture land being turned over by villagers. With your Witcher Senses, examine the ground under foot. Locate the following:
The footprints of a woman running through here barefoot. Follow these in a winding arch to a large splattering of blood.
Inspect the blood splatter by the copse of trees. The woman couldn’t outrun the pursuer, so her throat was slit, and the knife left behind. Take the knife, since the dried blood on it may prove useful.
ITEM: Quest Item: Assassin’s Knife
Head along the grassy path, following it roughly northwest, checking the ground for dragging marks where the body was pulled. This ends at a thicket, check the ground nearby, it is a shallow grave. Inspect the grave closely for a letter sticking out of it. Beware, you may have to slay a deserter roaming the area as you search.
ITEM: Quest Item: Letter Found in a Grave
Objectives:
Read the dead girl’s journal.
Ask the ealdorman about the lovers.
Find the lovers’ meeting spot.
The note details fear the girl (Zula) had regarding a man named Bokhai, who wouldn’t leave her (and her new beau) alone. You deduce a scorned lover killed the woman. Report your findings to the ealdorman back in Midcopse (head southeast). He explains they both disappeared about a week ago. You believe Zula to be the restless spirit, and Bolko tells you to travel to a clearing west of the village, where the young’uns used to frequent.
Objectives:
Burn Zula’s letter and the dried blood from the knife.
Kill Jenny o’ the Woods.
Equidistant between Micopse, the Refugees’ Camp, and the Forest Hut, is the objective area where the clearing is located. Trek northwest first. There is a small campfire and straw bedding close to the woods. Optionally check the woods for a small deserters’ camp, and slay any of them that might interrupt your ritual. Then prepare to summon a nightwraith!
Access the campfire if it is after nightfall. If not, meditate until after the sun sets (just before midnight is ideal). Something dark flits behind you, then approaches the light. A dark specter of pain and suffering. Unsheathe your silver sword, and set about defeating Jenny o’ the Woods, being aware of all her cloned forms and combative cunning.
End: After The Wrath of the Wraith
Objectives:
Take a trophy from the nightwraith.
Collect your reward.
The pile of ethereal essence has frightened her last villager! Stoop down and inspect the remains of “Jenny” (Zula), gathering an ingredient, as well as the skull and bones of the foe. Then mount Roach with the sack containing this evidence tied to your saddle, and canter back to Bolko. He hands over the agreed payment as your reward, and the quest concludes.
ITEM: Ingredient: Dark Essence, Quest Item: Nightwraith Trophy, Crowns
