Skjall’s Grave is a short, quietly moving quest in The Witcher 3. Ciri wants to pay her respects to Skjall, the young man from Hindarsfjall who died after helping her escape the Wild Hunt, and Geralt goes with her.
How to start Skjall’s Grave
The quest only starts if you agree to visit the grave with Ciri at the end of Child of the Elder Blood. That choice counts towards a good ending for Ciri. It is a level 28 quest worth 100 XP.
A burial denied
At the cemetery in Lofoten, there is no grave. The villagers, who branded Skjall a coward, threw his body into a pit where dead sheep are left for the crabs. Ciri pulls him out and gives him a proper burial herself. Some locals are not happy about it, but they do nothing: by their own laws, desecrating a grave is even worse than running from a fight. Geralt can threaten them, but it changes nothing.
Things to know
- The quest is almost entirely a cutscene, and the dialogue choices do not change anything. What matters is that you agreed to come.
- Skjall’s grave can be found later, southwest of the Lofoten cemetery.
- Read about Skjall’s story in Nameless and The Calm Before the Storm.
