Serpentine Silver Sword: Cryptic Notes

The notes also make mention of “that old mill,” and involves Kolgrim, a Witcher of the Viper School, who was wrongly accused of a kidnapping, and ended his days in the Verrieres family crypt. With this information, you can focus your searching on the relevant areas mentioned. Gallop northwest, across the river north of Woseong Bridge, and pass the Mill.

Continue northwest along the road, which ends at White Orchard Cemetery. Aside from the humming of a Place of Power, expect a spectral ambush as a wraith appears to attack when you cross the cemetery threshold! Slay it, kneel at the Place of Power to acquire an Ability Point, and then “knock” on the chapel door using Aard. On either side of the entrance are hand prints; spot them using your Witcher Senses.

Descend into the crypt under the chapel. Optionally light the wall torches with Igni. Defeat a second wraith within the crypt, and check the area for a few chests and corpses. Some bodies are fresh, but Kolgrim’s remains, slumped on the eastern wall, are skeletal. Search Kolgrim, gathering the diagram, and read the letter addressed to Ivar Evil-Eye, giving a minor hint that there are other diagrams to find across these lands. The scavenger hunt now concludes.
