The Basilisk Contract

The Basilisk Contract is a monster contract in Act IV of The Witcher, posted on the notice board at the Country Inn near Murky Waters. Someone wants basilisk hides – well-preserved ones only – and the buyer turns out to be Julian at the inn, who pays for a set of three.

The basilisks live on the west side of Black Tern Island, near the circle of elements. They don’t always turn up in numbers, so a trip there can be a crowded brawl or an awkwardly quiet stroll. Geralt has a strong hunch Julian will sell the hides on for far more than he pays, but a contract is a contract.

Walkthrough

  1. Read the notice about basilisk hides on the board at the Country Inn, southwest of Murky Waters.
  2. Travel to the west side of Black Tern Island, near the circle of elements.
  3. Kill basilisks and skin them until you have three hides. Their numbers vary from trip to trip and there is a limit to how many spawn, so loot every kill.
  4. Bring the three hides to Julian at the Country Inn and collect 250 orens.
