The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide Quest Walkthrough: Act I (Novigrad) Secondary Quest: Redania's Most Wanted

The Perfect Hideout for an Owl

Objectives:

  • Open Philippa’s hideout.
  • Search Philippa’s hideout.

Drop down the hole, and descend into the tunnel the witch hunters have excavated. The stairs lead down to a barred gate archway with a magical barrier beyond.

Go back up the stairs a few paces, and examine the indent in the ivy wall (Witcher Senses help find it). Press the tile into the wall, and the barrier is removed.

Descend to a junction chamber with two arches on either side. In front is a sheer drop into a cavernous lower chamber where you must go (without falling and killing yourself, of course). The right arch leads to a ledge and a nasty drop). The left arch leads to a portal, which is actually working. Step into it.

You enter a stone chamber with rocks and rubble, and a few scattered barrels. Use your Witcher Senses:

  • There is a remex (an owl feather) with its edge frayed.

Head up the stairs to the southeast, turn left, and engage a group of nekkers down some more steps. After slaying both of them, descend to a deactivated portal on a stone ledge. Approach the power cell (an activation crystal), and use your Aard Sign to spin it into activation. Then step into the portal.
