Contract: Skellige's Most Wanted Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Quest
Suggested level: 29
Group: Witcher Contracts
Location: Skellige
The easiest way to start this quest is to go to the village of Fyresdal and read the contract posted on the Fyresdal Notice Board. You can also talk to a group of people standing in the middle of the village.
During his time in the village of Fyresdal Geralt learned of a contract on a monster said to have attacked a merchant and his cart. The merchant in question was very insistent that a witcher investigate this matter and kill the beast.

Quest stages of Contract: Skellige's Most Wanted
1. Find the person who posted the contract.
Talk to people in the middle of the village. One of them will tell you that he was attacked by a large group of neckers and that he needs you to clear the road. If you try to haggle with him, he will agree to any amount.
2. Find the site of the monsters' attack. / Search the attack site using your Witcher Senses.
Go to the place indicated by the man. There you will find the body of an old man and a dead horse. Examine them.
When you do this, you will hear strange sounds and at the last moment you will jump aside and avoid being crushed by a giant boulder that fell down the mountain.
3. Find the place where the boulder started.
Head to the top of a nearby hill along the furrow that the boulder rolled down.
At the top, find and examine the place where the boulder started to roll down. You will notice monster's tracks nearby.
4. Follow the monster's tracks using your Witcher Senses.
Follow the nekker's tracks...
...and they will lead you to the entrance to the cave. Near the cave entrance you will probably come across a pack of white wolves (15).
When you get inside, a giant boulder will block the entrance behind you.
Go deep down into the cave. At some point you will come across two endregas (28), then six endrega workers (27) and finally an arachas (28).
When you kill all the monsters, climb into the tunnel on the other side of the cave and keep moving forward. On the way you will find a nekker's foot converted into a boot. Further tracks will be shaped like small human feet.
Finally, you will reach the stone stairs that will lead you to the room where you will find drawings showing the plan of the ambush on you. You will decide that you should meet with the persons who are responsible for this.
The trail ended as had so many before it - in a cave. This cave was different from its predecessors, however - inside were crude drawings showing a carefully planned attempt to take Geralt's life. From the last of these the witcher gleaned the location of a meeting of his would-be assassins. He decided to attend...
5. Go to the conspirators' meeting spot at night.
Go to the meeting place after 8pm. Yuo will meet there a godling, an ice troll, and a doppler. Eventually a werewolf, will join them. It quickly becomes clear that first three just wanted to scare you while the werewolf wants you dead.
6. Defeat the werewolf. / (Optional) Defeat the monsters.
At some stage of the conversation with them you will have a choice.
- I've helped monsters on many occasions.
- Enough of this farce. You're all as good as dead.
- I say we go our separate ways before someone gets hurt.
If you choose any but the first, you'll be forced to fight three of them: Werewolf, Skelliger (Doppler), and Ice Troll (godling won't want to fight) and you will get 100 XP once all are dead.
Geralt found the monsters who had plotted a deadly trap for him. The pack's aggressive leader, a werewolf, burned with such hatred for Geralt that he convinced two of the others - a doppler and a troll - to join him in attacking Geralt. The entire threesome died from the witcher's sword. Of the conspirators, only the godling survived, having snuck off somewhere before the fighting grew fierce.
If you have chosen the first option, you will have to prove that you really helped other monsters by giving two examples, otherwise you will have to fight them. In order to be able to give an example, you have to complete an appropriate quest and do not harm the monster.
- I let Salma go. - "Contract: Deadly Delights" quest.
- I spared Wham-a-wham's life. - "Contract: Missing Miners" quest.
- I spared the trolls living near Kaer Morhen. - "The Final Trial" quest.
- I let a doppler go in Novigrad. - "Contract: An Elusive Thief" quest.
- I made a deal with Fugas. - "A Greedy God" quest.
- I helped a godling. - "Ladies of the Wood" or "Novigrad Dreaming" quest.
If you give two examples, then you will only have to fight the werewolf because other monsters will be after letting you go. After defeating the werewolf you will receive 200 XP and Nekker Hide Boots (relic medium armor).
Geralt found the monsters who had plotted a deadly trap for him, but soon realized these misguided beasts did not deserve death. Yet the pack's aggressive leader, a werewolf, burned with such hatred for Geralt that he attacked, even though his companions refused to join. The witcher quickly slew the werewolf, but left the other monsters unharmed.
