The Witcher 3 - Velen: every story side quest in this region of the game

How to finish up all of the extra quests that feature during the main story set in the Velen region of the game.

As you work through the Velen section of The Witcher 3, you'll be able to complete various Secondary Quests as a natural path through the main story. If you need a few pointers in the right direction, here's what you need to know about completing every one of them.


An Invitation from Keira Metz

Talk to Keira.


A Towerful of Mice

Take a boat to Fyke Isle and head towards the tower. If you come across a green glowing bubble on the way there, activate your Magic Lamp for some bonus XP. Make your way up the tower, making use of the lamp as you go.

When you reach the highest level, there are two switches on the wall (one next to the stairs, the other next to a bookshelf). Pull the switches to reveal a secret door to the laboratory, then use your magic lantern to talk to Anabelle. Finally, take her remains to Graham.


For the Advancement of Learning

Return to Fyke Isle and speak to Keira.
