Boatmakers’ Hut
The Boatmakers’ Hut is a small lakeside homestead in the Mire, southeast of Crow’s Perch. Nothing about it catches the eye: a modest house and a landing by the water. Yet a family of Velen’s finest shipwrights has lived here for generations, building the best skiffs and dinghies north of the Yaruga. When Geralt arrives, the boats are the least of anyone’s concerns, because the place has been overrun by necrophages.
In The Witcher 3
The Boatmakers’ Hut is an abandoned site. Ghouls and alghouls have made it their home, and there is a monster nest to destroy. Clear the area and Geralt earns experience and some coin, plus a bonus for the toughest monster in the pack. Soon afterwards the villagers return, and a traveling merchant moves in with them, selling the same kind of goods as the wandering traders along the roads.
The hut is a good starting point for exploring the area. A little to the east, a trail leads to a bridge guarded by three bandits who want a toll to let you cross to the Bandits’ Camp island. That island is also where the captured merchant from Claywich is waiting to be rescued. To the west lies the silent village of Honorton.
