Solving a Drowner Problem with a Silver Sword — The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide

Locations: Kaer Trolde Harbor (Ard Skellig), Kjerag Cliffs

Characters: Bjorg, Rurik, Tove

Enemies: Drowners, Abaya (Water Hag)

Recommended Item: Formula: Drowner Pheromones

Objectives:

Talk to the shipbuilder near the Kaer Trolde bay.
Nearest Signpost: Kaer Trolde Harbor.

Bjorg the master boatbuilder has a task for you. According to a notice, the muire d’yaeblen (or “drowners”) in Kaer Trolde bay are multiplying and have grown so fierce, they are encroaching on travellers leaving the harbor. Speak to Bjorn by the boatyard, and he explains the drowners are meaner than those on the Continent. Rurik (Bjorn’s apprentice) and Tove (widow of a man killed by drowners) have seen the ferociousness first-hand. Barter a price for your services if you wish, then begin to search or witnesses.

Objective:

(Optional) Talk to witnesses of the drowners’ attack.

Close to Bjorg is Rurik the boatwright’s apprentice. He tells you of the time him and his cousin were gathering crab traps off the Kjerag Cliffs, and the dreaded muire d’yaeblen flipped over his boat and drowned his companion.

Along the dockside is Tove, a Skellige woman tending to a tanning rack. After her son was lost, her husband donned his coat and went looking for the boy along the cliffs. He never came home, and was found with deep claw marks all over his corpse.
