Old Bones Of A Young Child

Location: Keep

Enemies: Wraiths

Objectives

  • Find a tool that might help you investigate the old bastion.
  • Use Keira’s lamp to investigate the old bastion.
  • Use Keira’s lamp to find out what happened to the boy.

Travel west from Kaer Morhen, to the old keep where a group of four wraiths must be faced. Something has bound them to this place, but you can’t see what it is. That is, until you utilize Keira Metz’s magic lamp, and use it where you see a faint glittering of light. The lamp reveals the trials of a young boy, given no mercy by his Witcher master. There are three such ghostly reminders of the past on the lower and upper levels of the Keep. Location and climb the wooden steps and ladder at the southeast bastion tower, and head north across the battlements. Atop a short ladder and ruined north tower are the bones of a small child. Use the lamp for a fourth ghostly revelation.

Items: Quest Item: Boy’s Remains

Objectives

  • Pick up and bury the boy’s remains.

Gather the boy’s remains and climb back down from the battlements. Three additional wraiths appear to thwart your progress to a small antechamber where you must place the remains on the ground, burn them, and watch the fifth and final conclusion to the boy’s short and brutal life (using Keira’s lamp). Afterward, the spirits are now at peace within the bastion, and the quest concludes.
