Walkthrough

One of your goals in the game is to search through the Skellige Isles for information about Ciri. However, before you can do that, you’ll first need to find a ship that will take you there. You’ll find ships for hire in Novigrad‘s harbor, but when you talk to their captains, they’ll tell you that their ships aren’t available, and that you should seek out Flask Wolverstone.

You’ll find Captain Wolverstone by the bar at the Golden Sturgeon (#1). He’ll be drunk, but he’ll agree to take you to Ard Skellig on board his ship the Atropos. You’ll just have to pay him 1000 crowns. There isn’t any way to avoid this fee.

During your trip, the Atropos will get boarded by several level 16 pirates, and they’ll eventually cause the ship to crash into some rocks. You’ll end up washing ashore on Ard Skellig, where you’ll meet a clansman named Steingrim (#2). He’ll tell you that Yennefer is currently the guest of jarl Crach at Kaer Trolde to the north, but then he’ll throw some insults Yennefer’s way — among other things he’ll compare her to a beached orca — which will give you an opportunity to box him. The conversation will go about the same whether you fight Steingrim or not.

In Kaer Trolde, you’ll find Yennefer at the docks watching the funeral ceremony for King Bran of Clan Tuirseach (#3). Afterwards, you’ll get a chance to tell her what you’ve learned (if anything) about Ciri, and she’ll reveal that there was recently a massive “burst of magic” in the region, but that chief druid Ermion won’t let her examine the site. However, she’ll speculate that Ciri was involved.

After trading this information, Crach will come up to you and invite you to the wake. Yennefer will take this opportunity to mention that’s she’s rented a room for you at the inn, and that she’s laid out some appropriate clothes for you there. This conversation will complete the quest and earn you 250 xp.
