The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide Secondary Quests A Hallowed Horn

Assault At Another Obelisk

Locations: Holmstein’s Port, Kaer Muire, Arinbjorn, Eldberg Lighthouse, Thieves’ Camp and Obelisk

Characters: Holger Blackhand, Mathios

Enemies: Pirates

Objectives

  • Track down the thieves and retrieve Holger’s horn.
  • Nearest Signpost: North of Arinbjorn.

Along with the other notices on the board just outside Kaer Muire fortress on Ard Skellig, is one that reads “Contract: Stolen Horn.” A letter from the leader of this settlement, Holger Blackhand. It is regarding the looting of a horn by some shamed warriors. If found, the horn should be returned to Blackhand’s steward, Mathios. It seems the horn has been smuggled onto the Eldberg peninsula, north of the port of Arinbjorn, and south of the Eldberg Lighthouse. Sail or trek there, to the western side of Ard Skellig, at your earliest opportunity.

Journey along the treacherous bridges linking the three islands, and search for a group of pirates on the middle land mass.

Carefully view a single tent close to the rocky shores where the horn may lie (second picture). Expect seven more foes at this tent, close to a jutting rock obelisk. Tackle each of them, and then search the corpses. Two hold a journal detailing the guilt and disgrace he felt at stealing the heirloom. The horn is in the chest by the tent.

Items: Quest Items: Journal of a Thief, Part I, Journal of a Thief, Part II, Holger Blackhand’s Horn

End: Giving the Horn, Having the Hump

Objectives

Mathios

Trek back to Kaer Muire, and visit Mathios who waits close to the building directly above the Notice Board. You mention you’ve retrieved the horn, and he’s less than happy at you slaying the men who took it. Oh well. The quest now concludes with a modest reward.
