The Family Blade

Overview

The Family Blade is a secondary quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, set on Ard Skellig in the Skellige Isles. It starts from the notice “Contract: Stolen Sword” on the board at Kaer Trolde Harbor. The XP drops after level 22.

Following the thieves

The trail has three stops, each with a band of renegades and a thief’s journal pointing to the next:

  1. The obelisk southwest of Miners’ Camp.
  2. Fort Grymmdjarr, southwest of Fyresdal.
  3. The Whale Graveyard, where the last group carries the stolen sword, Kuliu.
