Overview

1 – Hidden Treasure

On one of the rocky islands here, you’ll find a skeleton holding Notes About Treasure. Reading the notes will trigger the quest Ironsides’ Treasure.

2 – Hidden Treasure / Cave

The corpse and the cave here are involved in the quest Hidden in the Depths.

3 – Cave

Inside this cave you’ll encounter a level 16 rabid troll and a level 26 ice troll. You’ll also find a deactivated portal entrance, but there isn’t any way to activate it, and the cave isn’t involved in any quests.

4 – Harviken

You’ll meet a few people of interest in this town:

• Amateur Blacksmith and Innkeep. They’ll do their regular thing. The innkeep will also have a few gwent cards for sale.
  
• Einar, Fightmaster. They’re involved in the quest Fists of Fury: Skellige.
  
• Timmon. He’ll give you the quest The Price of Honor.

5 – Jutta / Monster Den

In this part of Faroe, you’ll find two things of interest:

• On the top of the hill, you’ll meet Jutta in a sparring ring. She’ll give you the quest Iron Maiden.
  
• In the hill itself, you’ll discover a monster den. We’ve never seen any monsters in or around the den, but if you break some walls using Aard or your weapon, then in the back of the cave you’ll find the diagram for Feline Silver Sword – Mastercrafted.

6 – Shrine

When you approach this shrine, you’ll see three pirates trying to collect a toll from a pilgrim. If you bribe or kill the pirates so the pilgrim can visit the shrine, then you’ll earn 50 xp.

7 – Trottheim

This pirate town is involved in the quests Following the Thread and Flesh for Sale.

8 – Monster Den

Inside the cave here, you’ll find four statues with levers next to them. Pulling the levers will rotate the statues. If you pull the levers in the right way, then a pair of doors will open in the back of the cave, giving you access to a random treasure chest hidden behind a crumbling wall. To solve the puzzle, you’ll just need to turn on your witcher senses. The statues in the wrong position will glow red. The statues in the correct position will glow yellow.

Also in the cave, you’ll find the diagrams for Mastercrafted Feline Armor, Mastercrafted Feline Boots, Mastercrafted Feline Gauntlets, and Mastercrafted Feline Trousers.

You won’t actually encounter any monsters in the den.
