A Pilgrimage is a secondary quest in Act II of The Witcher, set in the Swamp Forest. An old man who likes to be called Gramps waits on the rocky road near the landing and asks Geralt to see him safely to the shrine of Melitele. You can tell him to get lost, but he is worth the walk: he turns the escort into a guided tour of the swamp, with gossip about a vodyanoi cult among the brickmakers, a tomb hidden in a cave and the strange runes of the Mage’s tower.
Along the way he also gives a short herbalism lesson and hands over a couple of alchemy formulae. At the shrine he shares the real prize: he once met the witcher Berengar, who was curious about the druids’ Elemental Circle and the tower ruins. He also invites Geralt to drop by his house sometime.
