The Heroes’ Pursuits: Fayrlund

Overview

The Heroes’ Pursuits: Fayrlund is one of four horse-racing quests in the Skellige Isles in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It starts on the road east-northeast of Fayrlund, far south of the Rannvaig signpost on Ard Skellig.

The race

Talk to the race master when you are ready. The course is short: along the road, past the cliff edge and over a small bridge to the finish line on the far side of Fayrlund. The rider to watch is Red Rikka, who is clearly faster than the other racer, but she makes a few mistakes you can take advantage of.
