Ciri's Story: Out of the Shadows Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Quest
Suggested level: 5
Group: Main Quests
Location: Velen
You will be able to play this quest after you tell the baron where his wife is at the end of the Family Matters quest. He will tell you what happened next after the events he told you about earlier in the Ciri's Story: The Race quest.
Ciri and the baron were testing their mettle in a horse race when a basilisk swooped down and put an end to the competition. The beast snatched the baron up and carried him off to its nest. Ciri, sparing no time for second thoughts, ran to his rescue.
Quest stages of Ciri's Story: Out of the Shadows
1. Kill the basilisk.
Wait for the basilisk to land and attack him.
When his life bar drops almost to zero, the basilisk will knock the baron's sword out of his hand and knock him down to the ground, then he will grab him in his claws and carry him to the top of the tower.
2. Get to the top of the tower and rescue the baron.
Reach the rocks on the right side of the tower and start climbing. The cutscene will start.
The Baron is about to die, so Ciri will use her powers to teleport herself immediately to the top of the tower and save the Baron in the last moment.
In the next scene you will see the baron saying goodbye to Ciri, who, in order not to expose the baron to the Wild Hunt, decided to leave Crow's Perch and go to Novigrad. And here ends the baron's story and this quest.
Ciri knew that to save the baron she had to act quickly and use her special abilities. She made a desperate decision and, in the blink of an eye, teleported herself next to the monster and swiftly cut off its head.
This decision had consequences, however: Eredin could sense whenever Ciri used her powers, meaning that even that short moment - in which she revealed the strength lying dormant inside her - was enough to alert the Wild Hunt. Wanting to save the area and her newfound friends from the destruction that would inevitably follow in the Red Riders' wake, Ciri quickly abandoned Crow's Perch and made her way to Novigrad, where she hoped to find Yennefer.
