The Witcher 3 Story Quest 06 - Ladies Of The Wood (Path 2)
5OPTIONAL STORY SUB-QUEST: The Whispering Hillock
Recommended Level: 5
Note: This is a sub-quest found within the ladies of the wood that you can start when talking to the spirit under the Whispering Hillock and agreeing to help him.
Objective: Find where the voice is coming from using your witcher senses
On the West side of the hill you'll find a cave icon and a level 8 werewolf. Yeah, the werewolf is quite powerful and has the ability to cast a massive regeneration buff on himself (regening him from near death to full health in around ten seconds), so unless you are overleveled for this quest, don't bother taking him on. Instead, sheathe your sword and sprint past him into the mouth of the cave. He will stop pursuing you once you are inside. Despite the map, only one path is open to you. Follow it and dive into the water, emerging into the center of the hillock.
Objective: Speak to the spirit in the cave beneath the Whispering Hillock
If you're taking this sub-quest, say you'll help the spirit. When you do, it will ask you to find three things to complete the ritual. A raven's feather (you should have got this earlier when you obtained Johnny's voice from the raven's nest). You'll also need the bones of the spirit's previous incarnation (from a coffin to the West) and a wild black horse from the meadows nearby. Once you have all three items, you'll be ready to reincarnate the spirit.
Objective: Find the bones of the spirit trapped beneath the Whispering Hillock
Travel pretty much due West from the hillock (following the mini-map). When you get close to the marker, prepare to take on a level 8 water hag. The water hag likes to throw muck to obscure your vision (I really hope it's mud). She will also sink into the ooze, reappearing elsewhere to attack.
Despite this, she is still relatively easy to take on (like the weaker versions you fought earlier in the story quest). Use igni or quen for offense and defense and keep swinging away. Since there is only one of her, you can't be blindsided or surrounded for once. Use this opportunity to practice your rolls and dodges if you can. Once the hag is dead, use your witcher senses to locate a coffin poking out of the earth nearby that contains the spirit's bones. Tick another off the scavenger list.
Objective: Calm a wild horse using the Axii sign and mount it
Ride a fair way South from the hillock to find several wild black horses roaming the meadows in this area. To tame a wild horse, you need to approach it slowly (around half walking speed) and cast the axii sign on it to stun it, allowing you to mount it and ride it. Do this and you have your final item on the list.
Objective: Bring a black horse to the cave beneath the Whispering Hillock
Ride the black horse back along the trail on the mini-map and enter the side of the Hillock. When you approach the spirit, a scene will trigger where you get one last chance to change your mind before performing the ritual. Once you choose to go through with it, watch the ritual play out and watch the spirit be reborn.
*Note: Doing this sub-quest saves the orphans at the swamp village. But at what cost?
