Contract: The White Lady Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Quest
Suggested level: 16
Group: Witcher Contracts
Location: Novigrad
This quest can be started in different ways, for example by finding the bodies of the White Lady's Victims, but the best way is to read the "The White Lady" contract posted on the Farcorners Notice Board.
While in Novigrad, Geralt came across a notice offering a bounty for killing a certain White Lady haunting the fields outside the city. The witcher, who was always in need of coin for... what does he spend his coin on? Armor? Swords? Clips to hold back his hair? At any rate, he was forever short of it, and so accepted the contract.
or, when you start the quest in another way:
Geralt spent some time walking through the rich farmlands outside of Novigrad. During one such stroll he happened across the ruins of a tower. Whether out of curiosity or because of the throbbing of his medallion, Geralt decided to investigate. It will surely come as no surprise that this investigation uncovered evidence of a monster's presence...

1. Talk to the widow.
Talk to the widow - Helma, you can find next to one of the houses near the notice board. She will tell you about four boys who were victims of a monster called the White Lady. You can haggle with her - 246+ crowns.
2. Look for the bodies of the White Lady's victims using your Witcher Senses. / Investigate the place where the White Lady attacked using your Witcher Senses.
Go to the field where the White Lady is roaming and find the White Lady's Victims camp. You'll find three corpses there, examine them.
When you do that, you'll also be able to examine the footprints of the fourth guy who tried to escape.
3. Follow the tracks using your Witcher Senses. / Investigate the ruined tower using your Witcher Senses.
Follow the tracks until you reach the nearby ruins. Examine the blood traces, and you'll conclude that you should examine the cellar.
Go down to the basement. You might run into a ghoul you'll have to kill there. Then examine the body of the last victim and you'll come to the conclusion that you're dealing with the noonwraith.
The White Lady turned out to be a noonwraith. In order to defeat this phantom, Geralt first had to find out what bound it to the abandoned tower and its surrounding fields.
4. Talk to the widow about the noonwraith.
Go back to Helma. When you tell her what you found out, she'll tell you that the monster must be Luzi, who committed suicide. She'll then give you the silver dagger that belonged to Luzi, so you will be able to summon and defeat the monster.
5. Throw the silver dagger into the fire to lure the noonwraith out.
Go back to the camp where you found the White Lady's Victims and throw the dagger into the fire. After a while, a monster will arrive.
6. Kill the noonwraith. / Take a trophy from the noonwraith.
Like any noonwraith, White Lady is vulnerable to yrden sign, and occasionally splits into three weaker forms that she uses to heal herself, so you should kill them as soon as possible. Once she's dead, loot the Noonwraith trophy (5% Bonus experience from humans and nonhumans) and Deithwen (Relic Steel Sword) from her corpse.
7. Collect your reward from the widow.
Go back to the widow, tell her you've completed the task and collect your reward.
Geralt uncovered the tragic fate of the woman who had turned into a noonwraith - then sent her on to the next world. The bounty issuer was clearly relieved to hear this and handed Geralt his due.
