Gorgon Foothills

The Gorgon Foothills are the hilly western reaches of Toussaint, spread out at the base of Mount Gorgon, the fog-wrapped peak that towers over the whole duchy. Vineyards give way here to wooded slopes, caves and ruins, and the area is a favourite haunt of bandits, which keeps Geralt and the duchy’s knights-errant busy.

The village of Fox Hollow lies in a small valley at the foot of the mountain, famous for fields that grow earthenware pots all by themselves. Other places you will come to know in the foothills include Lac Célavy, home of the Lady of the Lake, the witch’s hut on Lynx Crag and Chuchote Cave.

In The Witcher 3

A long list of Blood and Wine quests touches the foothills, among them:

• There Can Be Only One – the quest for the sword Aerondight, which ends at Lac Célavy.
• A Knight’s Tales – which sends Geralt up to the witch’s hut on Lynx Crag.
• Wine is Sacred and What Lies Unseen from the main story.
• Knight for Hire – clearing Fox Hollow of bandits is part of it.
• Big Game Hunter, Father Knows Worst and Wine Wars: Vermentino.
• Vintner’s Contract: Chuchote Cave and Vintner’s Contract: Duchaton Crest.
• But Other Than That, How Did You Enjoy the Play? and The Toussaint Prison Experiment.
• Scavenger Hunt: Grandmaster Manticore Gear.

Good to know

• Fox Hollow: the village is overrun by bandits when you first arrive. Clear them out and the villagers return and the Ruddy Brush Auberge reopens.
• Use the Toussaint interactive map to find your way around.
