The supposed entrance to the underground lair of the tectonic terror the Witcher set off to search for is north and a little west of your current location in Flovive. Set off across the Tufo Vineyard, before descending into the lightly-wooded Marcescent Forest. You may have a couple of Bears (what else?) to contend with en route to an idyllic and shallow body of water known as Filament Stream. On the north side of this pond is a cave entrance. Time to see if the Witcher left any tracks.

Drop down the cave hole, and check the area to your left (northwest), unless the spittle from the Giant Centipede on your right (southeast) sends you into a blood-rage, and you need to slay this creature first. You’ll face this insect anyway, so clear the area of foes.
Backtrack to the northwest part of the tunnel, and blast apart a collection of rubble (or climb over it) to reach a dead-end. However, there’s some bedding and a letter written by the Witcher himself. It tells of buildings around here collapsing, and that Witcher Junod has daubed symbols of his school on the interior cave walls so he can navigate his way through this cave complex.

Objectives

Turn and head deeper into the cave system, passing the Giant Centipede-slaying chamber, and using your Witcher Senses to spot bear head symbols along the walls. It isn’t necessary to find all of them (or any of them). Cross the cavern, into some narrow burrowing tunnels. The left fork leads to a short dead-end so head right, following the tunnel to a main junction (and bear symbol). There’s a tunnel left of you, leading to a dead end. Drop down at the junction, as the tunnel continues left and right. Head left, into a Giant Centipede cave. Fight the disgusting beast, as it is burrowing around the remains of the Witcher, along with the remainder of the diagrams!

Items: Junod of Belhaven’s journal, Diagram: Grandmaster Ursine trousers, Diagram: Grandmaster Ursine steel sword, Diagram: Grandmaster Ursine boots |
This concludes the quest for the Grandmaster diagrams. You can read more about Witcher Junod’s final moments facing the great beast in this cave. Then retrace your steps, as the last tunnel (right at the main junction) leads to the massive lair of the Tufo Monster. Be sure the Contract of the same name is active if you wish to face this creature. Otherwise, retrace your steps back outside.
