But Other Than That, How Did You Enjoy the Play?

To reach a treasure in an old elven amphitheater, Geralt must re-enact a dead woman's performance, and face the phantom it summons.

Overview

But Other Than That, How Did You Enjoy the Play? is a Blood and Wine treasure hunt at the Seidhe Llygad amphitheater, south of the Palace Gardens across the lake.

The candles

A water hag may be heard on the beach, but the treasure is at the amphitheater. A woman’s body there carries a perfume-laced journal and a bottle of “Vis la Crac” wine. Her notes describe a performance, and Geralt decides to repeat it. With Witcher Senses, follow her footprints between the candles: the first candle is the one with steps leading only away from it, directly in front of the body. Light each candle in turn to form a pentagram. A mistake simply resets the sequence, but getting it right on the first try counts as a Proof of Wisdom for There Can Be Only One.

The phantom

With all candles lit, drink the wine, a quest item, after applying specter oil. The Phantom of the Amphitheater, a powerful beann’shie, appears and calls skeletons to help; kill those quickly. Its remains hold an ornate necklace with a key-shaped pendant, which opens a gate in the southwest of the arena behind a fallen pillar. The casket inside ends the quest.
