Ciri's Story: The Race Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Quest
Suggested level: 5
Group: Main Quests
Location: Velen
This quest is another part of the baron's story about his meeting with Ciri, which he will tell you at the end of the Family Matters quest.
The baron treated Ciri like a daughter - no, better - for slaughtering a boar is sadly a delight few fathers think to share with their daughters. His men took an immediate liking to her as well, mainly due to her hunting prowess and passion for horses. One evening, as they were celebrating a successful hunt around a bonfire, Ciri proposed a wager: if she beat the baron in a horse race, he would give her a mount of her choosing. The baron accepted the challenge.
Quest stages of Ciri's Story: The Race
1. Beat the baron in the horse race.
Ride towards the tower and try to get there before the baron. If you don't manage to get there first, the quest will land in the "failed" tab.
When you reach the tower, you will be attacked by a basilisk, which will end this part of the baron's story and this quest.
The race was meant as a harmless diversion, but soon took a different turn. Ciri and the baron, riding neck and neck, had just caught sight of the tower serving as the finish line when suddenly a basilisk landed at its base and turned its terrifying gaze upon them.
