The Witcher 3 - Novigrad: every side quest in the Far Corners and Grassy Knoll regions

How to find every side quest in the Far Corners and Grassy Knoll regions of Novigrad in The Witcher 3, and what you need to do to complete them.

There are only a few Secondary Quests to complete in the Far Corners and Grassy Knoll sections of Novigrad, but here's a complete breakdown of where you can pick up each one, and what you'll need to accomplish in order to wrap them up.

Following the Thread

Head to Trottheim on Faroe, and then fight your way through a whole host of bandit henchmen. Once they've been dispatched, head up to the shrine and fight Hammond and his personal guard. Loot his corpse, then return to Novigrad and speak to Lambert. Once you finally meet Karadin you can choose to kill him or let him go.


Karmic Justice

At night, outside the city walls about halfway between Tretegor Gate and Southern Gate, you'll find a merchant being harassed for dealing fisstech. Search him, and then either side with him or the elves. Taking the merchant's side ends in a fight and a 50 Crowns reward.


The Dwarven Document Dilemma

Look for Rostan Muggs by the Treteogr Gate and agree to retrieve his papers for him. Take the bridge that leads east, then activate your Witcher Senses until you come to the moonshine. Keep following the smell south-east until you reach the Seven Cats Inn.

Go inside and talk to Gerd. At this point, you can demand the papers and fight him, beat him at Gwent in exchange for the papers, or just use Axii Delusion on him.

Witch Hunter Raids

On the street to the west of the Glory Gate noticeboard you'll find a couple of witch hunters trying to break someone's door down. Follow them into the building, and then either intervene or leave the victim to his fate. Saving him will earn you three Lesser Runestones.
