The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide Witcher Contracts Contract: Missing Brother

Horrors At The Old Mine

Objectives:

  • Find the missing brother in the mine near the Inn at the Crossroads.
  • Explore the mine using your Witcher Senses.

Summon your trusty steed and gallop roughly northwards (and a little east), staying to the roads if you don’t want some fights with roaming nekkers and other unpleasant monsters. Head down to the edge of the river, and locate an old wagon and small workman’s hut at the mine entrance. At this point, use your Witcher Senses to spot the following:

  • An extremely splattered array of human remains requiring great strength to pulverize in such a manner.
  • Some monster tracks leading into the mine entrance, right of the hut.

Enter the mine, pausing to light the torch with Igni if you wish, then drop down into the waterlogged lower tunnel. Turn to face east, and wade to the dryer part of the tunnel where the monster tracks are visible again. They wind down a tight tunnel, passing a crate you can loot, to a junction chamber with scattered wood and large splatters of blood everywhere. The blood is fresh, but no bodies can be seen.

Continue onwards down the tunnel in a roughly northeasterly direction, following the tracks until they split into two separate routes. One continuing left along the tunnel, and one to the right, leading into a small pool of water. That water looks interesting…

Dive into the water, swimming through an underwater tunnel with some crates to loot along the way. Follow the tracks up to the surface, up into a grotto area. Advance into the middle of the chamber, using your Witcher Senses to spot a mass of blood, flesh, and digestive juices. This must be food for its young. You surmise this is a venomous Arachas!
