The Witcher Hints

How should I start out?

  • 1 of 3: The game drops you into this chapter rather suddenly with no real introduction, so it can be a little disorienting.
  • 2 of 3: Your first goal is obviously to kill the attacking Barghests. Don't worry if they kill nearby guards or peasants -- they are unimportant.
  • 3 of 3: To start on the main quest, finish them off, and ask Shani about the Salamandra. She'll direct you to the Reverend, which is where you should go once you're ready to move the plot along.
