Travel mostly west, and a little north, towards the forested region of this part of Velen, and trek into the woods to reach a small cluster of structures. The easiest route is along the river bank with Novigrad’s walls on the north side, to the right of you. Dismount, and begin to inspect the yard. Locate the following, using your Witcher Senses:
- Deep ruts where loggers’ wagons stopped.
- Follow the wagon tracks roughly westwards from the buildings along a winding wood trail close to the water, then into the woods where intermittent nekker attacks may occur. Fend at least three off.
Eventually, you reach an abandoned wagon. There was a fight here between two dwarves and something… big. Use your Witcher Senses to uncover further evidence:
- Opposite the wagon is evidence of a wounded dwarf trying to flee, while bleeding heavily. There is a rock close by with claw marks—the monster must have been enraged and strong.
- Follow the blood trail to a dead dwarf with deep wounds on his back, who bled to death.
- Follow the footprints to a nearby campfire, where a second dead dwarf lies, strangled by roots from the earth.
After all these discoveries, you realize this is the work of a leshen. You must find its totem, and destroy it to lure it out.
