The Witcher 3 Story Quest 05 - Wandering In The Dark
0STORY 05 - Wandering In The Dark
Recommended Level: 6
Note: This is a fairly long quest with several monster fights, make sure you are prepared and stocked up before starting.
Objective: Follow Keira
At the entrance Keira should take the lead, casting a luminescence spell to light up the area around her. Follow her down the stairs, filling your pockets with loot along the way. As you pass through the first doorway, a scene will trigger. Watch the wild hunt teleport away. After the scene, follow the walkway...
Objective: Go through Keira's portal
... and enter the portal when Keira creates it.
Objective: Use your witcher senses to find Keira
When you arrive on the other side of the portal, you will be facing a small group of drowners just ahead. Pull out your silver sword in preparation before nearing them. Drowners are quick and aggressive attackers that are weak to necrophage oil and the igni sign (setting them ablaze can be a useful tactic when they are bunched up). You will likely also want to make good use of the quen sign (especially on higher difficulties), to protect your health from their attacks.
If they enter the water, your only means of attacking them (besides luring them out of it) is the crossbow. While a slow method of damage, it is relatively safe to just pick away at them from range. So keep it in mind as a strategy if you are having trouble facing them directly. As always, try to single out enemies and bring them down quickly to prevent being surrounded.
Once the first group of drowners is out of your way, walk into the water and swim through the sunken passage to reach the other less waterlogged end. Take the left path at the junction here to emerge into a large cavern with a portal on a walkway in the center. Guess we know where Keira came through. Defensive players can use this high vantage point to shoot the drowners on the cavern floor, picking them off slowly but safely (and avoiding the poison gas clouds as well).
Offensive players will want to prepare their weapons and top up their health before descending to the cave floor to do battle with the group of three drowners. Use the same tactics as before, just be very careful to avoid detonating the gas clouds with igni and try and stay out of them to prevent health loss from poison.
Once the cavern floor is clear of enemies, climb onto the walkway and take the stairs up to investigate the portal. A marker trail will appear here, so start following it down the stairs on the other side. Follow it to the right at the first intersection below to hear Keira scream out.
Objective: Destroy the rat nests with bombs or signs (2)
At the bottom of a hole in the floor, you'll find Keira being assaulted by several rats. The rats pose little threat to your health, so you can rush in and start swinging or just head straight for the monster nests that they are coming from. Monster nests can only be destroyed with certain bombs: grapeshot, samum or dancing star. Or by using the aard sign to blast them to rubble. The aard sign is quite efficient in this case if you haven't got any of the other bombs, so get close to the nests and blast away with it.
Once both nests are destroyed, a quick scene will play showing Keira regaining her composure.
Objective: Explore the elven ruins and look for information about the mage
Keira will take the lead once again. Follow her into the next chamber to find the elf you are searching for... or a projection of him anyway.
