A Mysterious Passenger is a tiny main quest in The Witcher 3 that fills in a gap in the story: how a small, very ugly creature that Skjall saw on Skellige ended up on the mainland. Only some players will ever see it, because it depends on the order you play the story in.
How to start A Mysterious Passenger
You only get this quest if you finish The Calm Before the Storm on Skellige before you hear the Baron’s last Ciri story, Ciri’s Story: Out of the Shadows, in Velen. If you meet Uma at Crow’s Perch first, the quest never appears. It gives no XP.
A visit to Jarl Donar
Geralt and Yennefer want to know what happened to the creature, and the only lead is that Jarl Donar an Hindar had it. Go to Larvik, on the other side of Hindarsfjall from Freya’s Garden, and talk to him. Donar has little to add: he sold the creature to a merchant who planned to sell it as a court jester in Novigrad. That creature is Uma, and the trail continues in the Baron’s keep and in Ugly Baby.
Things to know
- The quest disappears completely from the journal once it is done.
- Hearing the Baron’s last story about Ciri in Family Matters locks this quest out for good.
