Taken as a Lass – Witcher 3 Quest

This guide is a walkthrough of a side quest in the Witcher 3 on the Skellige Isles. The guide is composed of a map, map legend, and walkthrough to show readers exactly where to go and what to do to complete the quest.

Map Legend

1 – Warrior’s Camp
2 – Pirate Ship
3 – Temple of Freya

Background

On the eastern coast of Ard Skellig, you’ll come upon a warrior being attacked by pirates (#1). Defeating the pirates and talking to the warrior will trigger the quest.

Walkthrough

The warrior will tell you that his sister Kurisu was kidnapped by pirates, who were on their way to Hindarsfjall. He’ll then ask you to keep an eye out for her, and to tell her to come to Blandare when she’s able. This conversation will earn you 50 xp.

You’ll find the remains of the pirate ship off the coast of Hindarsfjall (#2). Level 19 ekhidnas will be patrolling in the area. After defeating them, you’ll find some corpses and medical supplies nearby. You’ll also find Notes of a Pirate in a chest on board the ship. All of this information will lead you to believe that priestesses of Freya might have rescued Kurisu.

When you go to the Temple of Freya on Hindarsfjall (#3), you’ll find Kurisu there. Talking to her will complete the quest. You’ll receive 75 xp for telling her about her brother, but you might not receive this reward until well after the end of the conversation.

Note: You can also complete the quest in reverse by meeting Kurisu first and then tracking down her brother to tell him that she is safe.
