Overview
Defender of the Faith is a secondary quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, set at three wayside shrines in Velen: between Blackbough and Crow’s Perch, at Duén Hen, and on the road between Byways and Frischlow.
What happens
An old woman can be found at the Blackbough shrine or at Duén Hen. Geralt repairs the shrine for her, and she asks him to fix the other two as well.
The order matters a little. At Duén Hen an endrega warrior may attack, and near Byways, wolves. The Crow’s Perch shrine spawns nothing. The recommended level is 10, but high-level monsters roam between the shrines in southern Velen, including a griffin along the main roads.
At the last shrine Geralt catches the vandals in the act. Letting them carry on fails the quest. Beating them up, or killing them, completes it.
