The Witcher 3 Story Quest 17 - The King Is Dead Long Live The King
2STORY 17 - The King Is Dead - Long Live The King
Recommended Level: 16
Objective: Meet Yennefer at the entrance to Kaer Trolde's keep
Objective: Go to Yennefer's rooms and put on formal attire
If you wish to dress up to impress the lady, you will find her rooms in the local in of the town. Simply stop by the inn, loot the glowing chest in the back corner of her room for some fancy clothing and put them on before leaving for the keep. Make your way up the cliff trail overlooking the town when you are ready to head for the keep. At the portculis you will meet up with Yennefer in a quick scene.
Objective: Go with Yennefer to the wake inside Kaer Trolde
Trail after Yennefer through the entryway of the keep. When you reach the feasting hall, you will trigger a scene where you will sit at a table with the jarl's sons (and daughter). During the conversation with them, you will be challenged to a foot race against the jarl's daughter.
Objective: Beat Cerys to the top of the mountain
If you accept the challenge, it consists of a fairly long but simple footrace up the slope. You will need to climb several ledges and sprint along the yellow trail marked on your mini-map. When you reach a cave at the top, you are nearly at the end of the trail, so make sure you are in front by this point. At the end of the trail, interact with the axe in the stump to snatch victory. Whatever the outcome of the race, after it is over you will return to the feast.
Objective: Talk to Yennefer in private
Leave your seat and begin following Yennefer again. On the way to the marker on the mini-map, you'll encounter two bickering jarls and have to try and calm them down. After dealing with their temper tantrums, Yennefer will tell you what her real purpose for attending the wake is. Apparently she wants a powerful magic artifact held by the resident druid of the keep, Ermion. Ermion, sounds like a noise you make when you can't think of anything to say.
Objective: Go to Ermion's workshop.
Resume your shadowing of Yennefer once more, following her down stairs until you trigger a quick scene where you have to hide behind some curtains. After the guards pass, you can continue your way down into the lower levels of the keep until you trail ends at a window. Open the window to walk out onto a balcony and climb up to the balcony across from this one. Continue following after Yennefer when you are inside yet again to finally reach the outer rooms of the druid's workshop.
Objective: Explore the mysterious room using your witcher senses
Things to examine:
The animals in the room
The large bowl surrounded by lit candles
The wooden door leading out of this room (not the one you entered by)
When you try and open the door leading out, a scene will trigger.
Objective: Defeat the aggressive beasts
All the animals in Erimon's room will spring to life after you try and leave the room. Start slashing away at them when they attack. Desipite their visibly high level markers, they do piddling little amounts of damage, so just slash away at them to destroy them. After downing the last bear, you'll find out what caused this attack.
Objective: Find the mask of Uroboros in Ermion's workshop
After your "battle" is over, you'll finally reach the inner room of Ermion's workshop. There are several things to examine with your senses here:
Letter on cabinet next to entry door
Ermion's pipe on small table next to the fire
Pile of books in the center of the room
Glowing chalice of mead next to the bed (important)
Alchemical instruments opposite bed
Wooden horse to the right of the bed
Map on the back wall of the room
Glowing skull on a table
Erimon's staff leaning against a shelf in the middle of the room
Glowing cone opposite Erimon's staff
Sword in the stone next to Erimon's staff
Statue of a sitting man against the back wall with it's hand outstretched (important)
Once you are done investigating everything, approach the statue at the rear of the room and place the mead in it's hand to open the hidden doorway in the wall next to it.
