Overview
Witcher Wannabe is a secondary quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, recommended at level 10. It is set in Lindenvale in Velen. It unlocks at least five in-game days after finishing Contract: The Merry Widow. Waiting alone is not enough; you need to explore or progress other quests in the meantime.
Another witcher?
Once it is available, a notice appears on the boards in Crow’s Perch, Oreton and Downwarren, pointing Geralt to Lindenvale. There the ealdorman grumbles about a so-called witcher who took a monster contract and got his daughter pregnant. He sends Geralt to the cemetery to find him.
The impostor is hiding from a single ghoul. Once Geralt kills it, the man thanks him, just as two villagers arrive to see what took their witcher so long. Seeing a second witcher makes them suspicious.
Choices
- Expose him and either persuade the villagers to let him go, or leave it to the elder, who has him killed.
- Cover for him by claiming the job took two witchers. Then have him work for the elder for a year to make up for his failure, or banish him from the village for good.
If he is made to work, you can later find him laboring near Lindenvale’s southern entrance, still wearing his fake medallion.
