Geralt is out to check about Ciri’s encounter with a witch. Word has it that a witch has taken residence in Midcopse. Look for the marker on the minimap and head there.

In town, the residence seem skittish around you. Close by is a local, sweeping her house muttering about a witch. Chat with her and she’ll point you to her husband, who is a big fan of the witch’s work. Go and talk to him. He is wary to tell you anything about his beloved witch. If you have the Axii sign upgraded to level 2, you can convince him to tell you. If not, the information will cost you 50 crowns.

With the witch’s location in hand, make your way out of the village and to her hut. Upon arriving, some of the town’s folk are begging her to save a cow. She doesn’t seem in the best mood and sends them away. Head inside her house when the people are gone. Inside, you’ll notice that she is nowhere to be found. Take a look around using your Witcher Senses. Near the chalk pentagram is a skull. Investigate that to open a secret portal. Head inside to find the witch.

In this hidden grotto, the witch is waiting for you. Head up the stairs and meet Keira Metz. She isn’t shy one bit. Talk to her to see what she knows about Ciri. It turns out that an elf has been asking her about Ciri too. Agree to go to the ruins, where the elf is to start the next quest, “Wandering in the Dark.”
