The Last WishĪ true romance story, The Last Wish is a side quest from Yennefer, after Geralt helps her track down Ciri on the Skellige island of Lofoten. It’s a short quest with little in the way of dramatic endings, but it does have you navigating a puzzle of cheese, and earning a powerful sword that’s called The Emmentaler. Who doesn’t love a mage obsessed with dairy produce? Apparently tyromancy, as it’s called, is a real form of divination involving the observation of cheese, and it also makes one of the Witcher 3’s most amusing little asides. Absolutely pursue this quest for one of the game’s best monster set pieces. Possession sees Geralt helping the latter, heading to one of the archipelago’s isles to investigate a troubled jarl, a cursed sword, and a haunted house in a story of personal guilt and spiritual trickery. It’s one of two side quests that come once you reach Skellige, assisting Crach an Craite with his two children, Hjalmar and Cerys. That’s where the Possession quest comes into its own. It’s never a massive problem, but it means that the game’s one-off baddies really stand out. PossessionĪ bunch of monsters get a bit overused throughout The Witcher 3. Not going to spoil exactly what happens (even almost five years after the game came out, its quests deserve to be experienced fresh) but it’s suitably gruesome and one of the finest examples of how the seemingly ‘good’ decisions in Witcher 3 rarely end up wholly positive. It’s on Fyke Isle that you’ll tackle a number of different quests in the early part of the story, but this one is easily the best – a contract-style investigation given to you by your suspicious sorecess friend, Keira Metz. Towerful of MiceĪn early contender for one of the best side quests in the whole base game, Towerful of Mice takes Geralt to the eerie and isolated tower on Fyke Isle with a magical lamp.
Here are the best in the game – just a handful of the ones you absolutely have to check out. There are dozens upon dozens of them, especially once you factor in the game’s major expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood & Wine. Some are diplomatic excursions, some are monster hunts, some have you investigating wizards who love cheese. Wonderfully written, inventive, intriguing and sometimes shocking, the game is chock full of interesting additional missions to undertake.
And now, following the release of Netflix’s adaptation starring Henry Cavill, it seems more people than ever are actually playing them. No game before or since has done side quests as well as The Witcher 3.
