The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide Quest Walkthrough: Act I (Velen) Main Quest: Wandering in the Dark

A Bridge Too Far

Related Quests: Main Quest: Hunting a Witch; Secondary Quest: Magic Lamp; Secondary Quest: An Invitation from Keira Metz

Locations: Byways, Elven Ruins

Characters: Keira Metz, Nithral, Eredin, Caranthir

Enemies: The Wild Hunt, Drowner, Water Hag, Rats, Wraith, Duplicate of Geralt, Duplicate of Keira, Golem, Gargoyle, Hound of the Wild Hunt, Nithral

Objectives:

  • Follow Keira.
  • Go through Keira’s portal.

Enter the cave, which opens up into a vast cavern with the ruins of an old elven bridge stretching out in front of you. On the opposite (north) side, a group of Phantom Riders—members of the Wild Hunt—are spotted! Keira conjures a portal and steps through. That screaming can’t be good. You have two options:

Rush forward into the portal; alas something has distorted Keira’s portal, and you’re teleported to a distant cavern, surrounded by drowners. Slay these watery fools, then dive down into a flooded corridors, swimming back roughly south to the main chamber, before you continue your search.

Ignore the portal, which disappears. Remain in the main chamber, and descend to the watery cavern ground below. Deal with half a dozen drowners (and a water hag) before starting your search for Keira. Again.

Objectives:

  • Use your Witcher Senses to find Keira.
  • Destroy the rat nests with Signs or bombs (2).

Keira’s screams are coming from the east (use your Witcher Senses to “see” a pulse of sound indicating the direction). Climb the stairs and head through the archways from the central pit, and follow the chambers (watching for foes along the way) around until you reach a rubble-filled room. It seems Keira isn’t a huge fan of rats; produce a bomb (Grapeshot, Sumum, or Dancing Star), or use Igni or Aard, and remove the two large rat nests in this area before she drops her protective shield. Speak to Keira, and convince her to keep going.
