The Witcher Hints

What can I do with this golem?

  • 1 of 10: This is actually a part of the main quest, The Mysterious Tower.
  • 2 of 10: You can start on this once you've told Kalkstein the information you got from "The Secret Gates" and "Ain Soph Aur."
  • 3 of 10: Once you've done that, go and talk to Vaska about the tower. She'll tell you about the Sentry.
  • 4 of 10: Go back to Kalkstein with this information, and he'll tell you that you'll need a lightning rod to awaken the golem.
  • 5 of 10: So, go to either the Order Armorer or the dwarven Blacksmith (depending on which one will work for you) to get it forged.
  • 6 of 10: Once you've told them about it, come back after meditating/leaving the area and it will be done, costing 75 Orens.
  • 7 of 10: You'll then need to head back to the swamp. You'll need a big storm to awaken the golem, so go talk to the Elder Druid.
  • 8 of 10: You'll have to pay him 500 Orens for the storm (no way around this).
  • 9 of 10: Once it's raining, go to the golem island and use the lightning rod on the golem. (It has probably moved to the very beginning of your quest items.)
  • 10 of 10: The fight with the golem is actually very easy -- you can either "cheat" to kill it, or beat it regularly.
