The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide Witcher Contracts Contract: Shrieker

Not Just A Pack Of Peasants With Pitchforks

Locations: Crow’s Perch, Burned Ruins (Cockatrice Cave)

Characters: Chet, Symko

Enemies: Shrieker (Cockatrice)

Shrieker (Cockatrice)

Objectives:

  • Talk to the contract issuer.
  • Nearest Signpost: Crow’s Perch.

Chet from Crow’s Perch is having a terrible time with a shrieker (a monster that has woven its nest nearby) and has taken to killing those that venture too close. Head to the lower village within the walls of Crow’s Perch, and find Chet by his cottage. Barter a price for your services if you wish, listen to the hapless attempts the local (and now deceased) huntsman named Borzoy made to kill the creature. Now agree to slay it.

Objective:

  • (Optional) Talk to the witnesses to the shrieker’s attack.

Symko, son of Borzoy, is the witness to the shrieker’s attack, and he’s gazing at grass on the eastern side of the cottage. He is resistant to your talking, but continue to ask him questions and he describes the shrieker as a huge rooster with a lizard’s tail, and how his dog Ruffler ran away too. Calm the kid down with soft words or soothing Axii magic, and depart.
