The Witcher 3 Sidequest - The Lord Of Undvik
20The Lord Of Undvik
Recommended Level: 17
Location/ Obtained From: Conversation with Crach at the end of story quest - The King Is Dead - Long Live The King
Objective: Explore the ruins of Urskar and search for signs of Hjalmar's presence using your witcher senses
Well, first things first. Geralt will need to travel to the correct island. The one you're looking for is a big triangular one to the South-West of Kaer Trolde. Hop in a boat and avoid the sirens and other water based enemies as you make your way to it.
After landing on one of the two beaches of the island, you'll need to head inland to discover the demolished village of Urskar and the remnants of a major battle fought in the area.
Objective: Follow the trail of blood using your witcher senses
Near the fast-travel marker in the middle of the village, you'll spot huge puddles of blood with footprints leading away from the village. Follow it up the hillside until you reach a cave entrance, which the crew must have entered to escape the giant.
Objective: Find out what happened to Hjalmar's crew.
After entering the cave, you'll see the footprints end at a ledge, signifying that you should jump into the water below. Splash into the water below and quickly head for solid ground. Several erynias (harpy enemies) will be flying around the area for you to deal with. Like usual, fast attacks and takedowns will finish them off quickly, leaving you free to explore the caves.
Head for the Northern end of the cave to find the trail of the sailors once again. Blood spatters and enemy bodies litter the path for you to follow. Climb up along the series of ledges until you leave the cave via an upper exit, battling the devourers in the final passage.
Find Hjalmar
Enter the building in front of you to find out what happened to Hjalmar's crew. A trio of devourers will be in a side room for you to engage, before you follow the set of footprints leading from the building towards the beach down the hill. Here you'll finally find Hjalmar under attack from flying enemies. After a brief discussion, you'll accompany Hjalmar on his final attempt to find and slay the giant. Follow the trail to the fallen stones blocking the lair of the giant and clear the path during the scene.
Objective: Find a way to the giant's lair.
Enter the cave and work your way through. When you reach the back of the cave, you will trigger a scene, and find one of Hjalmar's men in a cage.
Let's free him. - Vigi initiates the fight with the giant
All right. Let him stay there. - Results in caged man's death during fight against giant.
Objective: Avoid snow - the sound of it crunching under your feet will awake the giant.
Optional Objective: Find the key to Vigi's gate using your witcher senses.
Cross the room, carefully avoiding the white snow on the ground, until you reach a chest with a light behind it to the left of the giant. Examining the chest with your senses will highlight it in red. Inside is the key for Vigi's cage.
Optional Objective: Free Vigi
Carefully return to the cage and unlock it to trigger a scene.
Objective: Kill the giant.
The giant is vulnerable against Ogroid Oil, and the Quen sign. Make sure to have the Quen sign active during the battle to soak up the powerful attacks.
At the start he will use close range swipes. The giant will also roar and charge across the map, swinging his arms. Another common attack is to slowly raise his foot, and bring it down dealing area of effect damage. Hjalmar is immortal and will slightly distract the giant occasionally, allowing easier movement and attack.
If you didn't release Vigi, when the giant has lost a quarter of his health, Vigi will be killed indirectly. If you did release Vigi, he will join the fight with you. He is not immortal, and has a health bar showing his life.
Once the giant picks up the anchor, he will use it in attacks, increasing his range. He will swing it down in a line straight ahead of him. If you are close enough, he will do a swipe with his free arm, knocking you back.
After the giant goes down, make sure to stay behind so you can get some nice loot from the giant's corpse. If you do this, you will need to meet him at the boat symbol on the map, to see him off for his return voyage home.
