Yeah this is very unclear, going to the abandoned tower... I went he wrong way until I realized where it was (thanks to my witcher 3 map app)... it is west of Heatherton. Idk where the isolated shack is supposed to be. Edit: I finally found the isolated shack,but it doesnt come up until you do the Wild At Heart quest, which is at the end of the Velen playthrough... no way a person following this guide would know that unless he/she had played through the game before, multiple times. I'm guessing that that quest was originally listed to do earlier but got moved back, since referrence is made of it being done further along the guide. Why was it moved back? Possibly because it is more challenging on death march, just my guess.

Just did this quest on DM and it's no fucking joke (depending on how you end it), I can see why it was moved to the end!

"Agree to help Niellen, and Hanna’s sister will give you the names of people to question.

Abandoned Tower

Now, let’s take another detour to score some loot and fill out the map a little. From the “Isolated Shack” head east until you find a road…"

What happened in this part? I just spoke to Niellen in Blackbough and the next moment I'm supposed to be in another part of the island that hasn't been mentioned before? Do I need to complete a quest to get there, or what? Feeling like a part is missing.

UPD: You can just take road to the north of Blackbough, and follow it to the point, where you can turn west. And almost immediately you will see a tower to your left. The marker will be a little further along the same road.

Share this free guide:

You are Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster-hunter known as a Witcher. You’ve fully regained your memories since your miraculous revival and escape from the Wild Hunt, and have cleared your name of the false accusations of regicide. In the wake of the assassination of Foltest, king of Temeria, the north have been rent by warfare as Nilfgaard launches its third major invasion, and the northlands have been united under the insane king Radovid. Overshadowing these petty politics is the mysterious return of Ciri - Geralt’s adopted daughter, who is now being pursued by the Wild Hunt.

The guide offers the following:

  • A full walkthrough that’s more than just a listing of quests-it’s an “ideal chronological order” that will get you through the whole game and allow you to see and do everything the game has to offer.

  • Side quests, including monster contracts and treasure hunts for obtaining powerful Witcher sets.

  • Descriptions of decisions, quests, and events that influence the various endings of the game.

  • Crafting and Alchemy information.

  • General strategies on how to take down foes large and small, monstrous and humanoid, boss or mundane.

  • Information on how to complete all the Gwent quests and obtain all the Gwent cards, including detailed Gwent strategies.

  • Trophy/Achievement information.

MASSIVE UPDATE: 7th September 2016 ongoing

  • Added DLC quests “Fool’s Gold” and “Scavenger Hunt: Wolf School Gear”.
  • Organisational changes in the Velen section of the walkthrough to reflect the increased level of Griffin School Gear.

  • Added Death March difficulty tips and commentary throughout the guide.
  • More XP reward numbers included.
  • Walkthrough now includes additional information based on patch changes.
  • Various typo and grammar fixes.
