The Witcher Hints
How can I help the Hermit get rid of the Wild Hunt?
1 of 8: Well, start by doing what he says and grabbing some mandrake root from the nearby cairns.
2 of 8: Take that to the druid's circle that is marked on your map at night.
3 of 8: You'll find a bunch of wraiths hanging around out there. This is a pretty hard fight, so you'll probably want to drink a swallow potion before starting.
4 of 8: You can try to lure them out a few at a time, but this gets kind of hard. One way or another, when you feel confident, run up to the circle, and put the mandrake root into the lantern.
5 of 8: Once you've done that, stay near the lantern and the Wild Hunt will not appear. You'll have to take out a few waves of wraiths.
6 of 8: The King of the Wild Hunt will reappear eventually. Quickly put more mandrake root into the lantern to drive him away.
7 of 8: After a while, you will have killed all the wraiths, and can go back to the Hermit for your reward.
8 of 8: You have 3 choices here: a key to the nearby hut (completely useless), and book on vampires (though you can just buy it from him) or the Wreath of Immortelles (makes the end of The Wedding main quest a bit easier).
