Toussaint: Applied Escapology

A Skillful Skeleton

A skeleton lies in the long grass, hiding a secret close to Toussaint Prison. Fortunately, you don’t have to be an inmate, or even enter the prison fortress to obtain the necessary clue from this pile of bones. Instead, venture around the perimeter island the prison sits on, until you find a small tree on a grassy outcrop of rock, and obtain the following diary from an impressive prison escapee. Read the book to learn where a necessary key is located.

Before this valley was flooded, there used to be a lower holding area in the northwest part of the prison, and the chamber can still be seen on your mini-map. Dive into the water around this point, and search for a cave entrance in the silt and sand. Swim along the narrow tunnel, into a submerged prison area, and quickly use your Witcher Senses to ascertain the location of another corpse, glittering in the muddy waters. Claim the following from the body:

Turn And Face The South

Sunken ruins and elven treasure sound intriguing, but the exact location of the ancient flooded temple is more of a mysterious. Head to the southern shore of the lake, or take a boat toward the southern shore southwest of Toussaint Prison. When you reach the approximate location shown in this picture, wade out a few paces, and dive down into another world!

Of course, this world is still populated with foes you’ve met earlier; around three Drowners need to be culled before you can properly explore this wondrous place. The main structure, which looks like an X, is north of where you need to explore, and you venture through a portal there during Secondary Quest: Turn and Face the Strange. Instead, search for the huge archway in a submerged structure to the south. Swim in, then down into a large flooded cavern of silt, and ransacked treasure chests at the far end. One requires the key to open, so snag the valuables and backtrack before you drown!
