The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide Quest Walkthrough: Act I (Skellige) Main Quest: Echoes of the Past

Only Ignorant Fools Belittle Myths

Related Quests: Main Quest: The King is Dead—Long Live the King; Main Quest: Nameless

Locations: Redgill, Druid’s Camp, Cataclysm (Ard Skellig)

Characters: Yennefer of Vengerberg, Ermion

Enemies: Foglets

Objectives:

  • Meet Yennefer at the site of the magic cataclysm.
  • Nearest Signpost: Druids’ Camp (Ard Skellig).

Sail to the deserted port village of Redgill on Ard Skellig’s eastern coast. There’s little here now but steps up to a winding beach pathway that meanders vaguely westward, and finally ends up at your destination—the Druids’ Camp. Or, trek up the coastal hills and into the woods, heading directly for the camp. When you arrive, Yennefer is already having a rather heated discussion with Ermion. You can:

  • Join in the conversation, reminding the two of them that their behavior isn’t appropriate.
  • Wait for this initial salvo in the argument between Yennefer and Ermion to subside. Then begin a proper conversation.

Make conversation choices as you wish. Ermion is furious that Yennefer has taken the Mask of Uroboros, and fears another cataclysmic explosion if it is used. As he recalls the history of the device, and you answer Ermion in any way you wish regarding Yennefer’s thievery, there’s an ominous sound, and you fail to see Yennefer. She has snuck away during your talk with Ermion! She used the mask!

Objective

  • Talk to Yennefer. Help Yennefer kill the foglets.

Quickly head downhill in a roughly southerly direction down the path, in sight of the cataclysm, where acres of forest have been stripped to skeletal remains from the previous blast that Yennefer seeks to investigate.

Ermion and the other druids descend too, starting a spell in the hopes that they might halt any disaster the Mask of Uroboros would cause. You find Yennefer engaged in electrical combat with a group of foglets. Engage in combat with them, helping her slay these tricky foes.

Afterwards, the wind whips up as Yennefer explains the mask summoned the foglets. The device apparently reveals the past, but only in certain places with a strong magical imprint. She hands the mask over to you. She wants to read your mind and see what you see. There’s little point in arguing.
