The castle in question is due east of the Border Post, on the Pontar River; a fortification known as Hindhold. Head across the swampy ground to this imposing stone structure, slaying a couple of Endrega Workers and a Warrior at the entrance. Enter the castle, and work your way through the ruins and gloom to some interior stone steps, through some cobwebs and all the way up onto the wooden roof of the fortress.
A flock of Harpies (and their monster nest) are the reason for all the excrement in the area. Clean them up, optionally destroying the nest as well. Make a quick inspection of the area. The wooden ladder and scaffolding can be explored whenever you wish (there’s skeletal remains on an upper crenellation). For now, remain on the wooden roof.
On either side of the wooden scaffold is a doorway. Use either to enter a ruined chamber with a hole in one wall, a chest, and a slumped skeleton in rags, by the main wooden wall support. Search the skeleton for the final Griffin diagram, and a letter. As this scavenger hunt draws to a close, feel free to open any other chests, including the “glimmering” chest to the left of the corpse, which holds Witcher George’s confession.
