After a conversation with the jarl, our trio sets about town for leads. The rest of Morthal’s townsfolk assume Hroggar murdered his family to start up with this new woman-because of course he did. Not long after Hroggar’s house burned down with his family inside, he shacked up with a new woman named Alva.
This sounds like Geralt’s brand of grim and twisted story. The local jarl is into some mystical hoodoo and a local man’s house has burned down, killing his wife and daughter. Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer saunter into town and wouldn’t you know it-there’s a mystery afoot.
Morthal is spooky, but it had been long enough since my last visit that I’d forgotten what kind of quest I’d find there. I pull up my map, trying to recall where to find some real monsters, which is when I spot Morthal. If this were The Witcher 3, Geralt would have even made friends with the big guys. So far we’ve only managed to hunt down several groups of bandits and a pair of giants that really didn’t deserve to be hassled. We kill them too, since we happen to be in the neighbourhood. Eventually we manage to taunt both giants into following us into the nearby Greymoor Fort where a group of bandits help us take down the beasts. Both are downed more than once, forcing Geralt to dance around dodging oversized cudgels waiting for a rescue. The giants are a tougher fight, soaking up Yennefer’s lightning and swatting Ciri straight up into the sky. Finally, something is able to give my two bad broads a run for their coin. At a loss, I decide we’ll harass the giants. Yennefer and Ciri keep making short work of each. It’s got undead skeletons, but only a couple. It’s full of human bandits, which we kill. We fast travel to the spooky-looking cave called Orotheim that I passed en route to Solitude. Once she closes in, Ciri dispatches most enemies in just a couple sword swings.Īfter thrashing Hargar and his mates, I decide we need to find a proper monster hunt. Ciri opens most fights by teleporting behind an enemy through a portal meant to mimic her Blink ability in The Witcher 3. More than one bandit was sent to kill his still-living brethren. She’s also able to necromance dead enemies back to life as her mindless thralls. Her primary ability is Palpatine-ing things to death by shooting purple lightning out of her fingers.
Yennefer relies on magic and fights at range. Geralt struggled to unsheathe his sword before they thoroughly annihilated the entire operation. Yennefer and Ciri made absolute wreckage of every bandit inside. I won’t waste much space on clearing Broken Oar Grotto. That’s not exactly a monster contract, but I’ll take it anyway. The executioner near the town’s entrance needs help finding an escaped bandit that’s fled to a hideout north of town. Back outside, I sniff out our first contract. I simply speak to both Ciri and Yennefer and tell them to follow me and we’re all set to go. There’s no joyful reunion to be had, alas.
