Hidden Gem: Praise Freya (Level 4)¶
You've done everything there is to do in Blandare for now, it's time to get to Fyresdal! To the south you will find two lakes, a larger one to the north and a smaller one to the south. Head south along a road from the Blandare sign and, when you reach some forks, head south-east along a road that skirts the north end of the north lake.

Follow the road southeast, hold Witcher Senses, and you'll see the white circles indicating enemies on the shore. Monsters that hunt in groups, that live near the coast? It can really only be one thing. Eventually you'll find another loot truck along the south side of the road, near which lies a corpse. Examine the corpse"Itinerant Notes"and one"Little Box People", then head south to the lake shore and kill a group of Drowned (level fifteen). When the Death Eaters are defeated, dive into the water to find a submerged chest, which you can now open.
Treasure Hunt: X Marks the Spot (Level 12)¶
Speaking of keys and water boxes, head to the east end of the lake and look around for a junk house located east of the lake. Inside you will find a skeleton with a"Old Key"and one"Mysterious Map"I am working on it. Reading the letter starts the quest"X Marks the Spot", with which you can find a good way to the west, southeast of Fayrlund. Exit the hut and a Wraith (level seven) will challenge stealing your key, but unfortunately he's horribly out of date. It's not that hard to get this treasure, just go back to the Blandare sign and quickly return to Farylund and follow a road to the southwest, staying on that road until you hit a river, which you should head east follow until you find a waterfall . Leave the waterfall (don't forget to roll!) to find a chest under the waterfall, which you can now open with this key.

Person(s) in danger (level 14)¶
Fast travel back to Blandare and follow the road south from the sign until you reach the fork again. Ignore the southeast path for now, as there's no need to return to the Hidden Treasure, even the one you looted, and take the southwest path instead. Along this road, which runs west of the larger of the two lakes, you'll find a "Person(s) in Peril" event. Kill a horde of bandits (level twelve to fourteen) unseen from the massive pirate camp along Velen's west coast and approach a captive herbalist to free him. He happens to live nearby (in the house just east of the People in Danger map marker, though he can often be found outside) and you can do business with him on subsequent visits. He doesn't sell anything very interesting, or offer big prizes, but you can get him to play Gwent with you.
Treasure Hunt: Legacy (Level 14)¶
The next destination in this winding quest to clear the map markers is to the west, over some low mountains. You can find a passable route over the mountain with a little determination and a lot of jumping (perhaps dispatching some Nekkers (level twelve) along the way)...or you can fast travel back to Fayrlund and head southeast, or if you don't , follow the road north from the Herbalist and turn northwest, southwest, then south around the mountain. Watch out for some Endrega drones (level twenty) and an armored Arachas (level twenty six) roaming the forest south of the road.

Anyway, your goal is to reach the ruined village of Boxholm. North of the sign you will find a dead warrior and an equally dead bear. Loot the first one you get for an "Old, Yellowed Letter" and a "Golden Key", then read the letter to start the "Legacy" quest. Search the house west of the dead bear to find a half-buried chest, which if looted will complete this quest. Exit the house and search the west ridge, along the river, to find a rich chest waiting to be looted on a wooden porch.

Griffin Steel Master Sword¶
Before you go, you can also get your hands on a great chart that requires almost no work to get. You know, the best kind. From the point of the bear-Skeliger fight, follow the road south to find the 'Boxholm' sign if you haven't already discovered it. From the 'Boxholm' sign, follow a path east through the ruins until you reach the now completely collapsed ruins of what must once have been an impressive stone building. The proudest remains of the edifice now consist of two ruined towers to the south. Loot the nearby barrels and packages, then head east, up a ladder, up a ledge, then turn north to see a chest chilling among some rubble. Inside you will find it"Chart: Griffin Steel Sword - Mastercrafted". To score.
Go back to the 'Boxholm' sign and then cross a bridge to reach the west side of the river, which you should follow south. Now you have quite a distance to travel, your destination is the village of Fyresdal on the south side of Ard Skellig. Along the way, you should spot a long-abandoned siege tower between a road running west of the river and the river itself. South of this siege tower you'll find a chest with some loot inside. Continue south along the nearby road and when it splits, head southeast and then south to reach Fyresdal.

Fyresdal¶
Go into town and talk to a Skelliger near the notice board to find the rogue you've encountered many times, who has wisely recovered and repaid you for your trouble. Looks like you made a neat profit out of it. Reasonable. Get the "Contract: Dragon" message from the notice board to start a mission of the same name... one you won't face yet. When you're done, explore south near the docks to find a merchant and a blacksmith, both playing Gwent.

Monster Nest (Level 13)¶
Leave Fyresdal on a road heading southwest from the south side of town and continue until you reach a fork. At this fork, follow the eastern, less elevated of the two paths, which soon lead to a triangular fork. From here follow the road west and at another fork follow the road southwest to reach a fortress.
Enter the fortress through an open gate on the northeast side of the building and kill some Renegades (level fourteen and fifteen), looting them to gain another"The Thief's Journal". Read the journal and discover that your knife has escaped again... but on the plus side, the new location provides an excuse to explore the northeastern parts of the island. There's also a harpy's nest here that you can destroy while it's unattended. However, if you want to give the flying menaces a fighting chance, leave the fortress and rest for a while and the Harpies (level thirteen) will arrive. Kill them, bomb their nest, then loot it.

Before you leave, there's some nice loot to grab if you're feeling adventurous. Search the north end of the fort to find a collapsed tent, behind which are some sticks. Climb over these sticks and use their height to jump onto the fortress wall, which you must then follow clockwise to find a chest containing the"Chart: Superior Wolves Armor". Busy fortress, this one.
