The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide Witcher Contracts Contract: Lord of the Wood

Tracking and Waiting

Objectives:

  • Destroy the leshen’s totem to lure it out.
  • Lure the leshen out by destroying its totem.

Inspect your World Map, and four possible totem locations appear. All are easily found, but only one is necessary to reach. Some are false leads, such as a murder of crows that aren’t the leshen’s. Expect wolves to face as your search continues. You’re looking for a skull-topped bone weaving at the base of an old oak tree. Conjure a blast of wind using Aard, and the totem clatters to the soft earth. Striding from the dark shadows of the forest is a ten-foot tall, skull-faced giant. Prepare to battle Kernun, Lord of the Wood!

End: After Kernun’s Collapse

Objectives:

  • Take a trophy.
  • Collect your reward from Brean Hotsch.

You felled this mighty woodland spirit, and can gather ingredients from its corpse, as well as its skull as a trophy, which looks rather stylish tied to Roach’s saddle. Gallop back to The Cunny of the Goose, inform Brean of a job well done, and receive a reward to match. The quest then concludes.

ITEM: Leshen Mutagen, Leshen Resin, Leshen Trophy, Crowns
