Geralt hates the swamps and war-ravaged villages of Velen that became a no man’s land after the war.

But he has no choice and goes there anyway.

While he’s searching for her, he can travel all around Velen and see more of it.

Velen

But not Velen locations are equals, and some of them are simply better or more significant than others.

Bonus tip - don’t forget to loot all the rooms in the Baron’s castle.

Geralt has the chance to kill a vampire hiding underneath the village.

Crow’s Perch

Geralt goes to the isle if he accepts the quest Towerful of Mice the sorceress Keira Metz gave him.

The place is swarming with deserters from the Temerian Army.

Geralt can cut all of them down and loot their bodies.

Byways

4Best: Crookback Bog

Crookback Bog isn’t a pleasant place, visually-speaking.

It’s deep in the Velen swamps, and Geralt hates being in the swamps longer than absolutely necessary.

However, Crookback Bog is one of the most important locations in Velen, story-wise.

Fyke Isle

It mostly consists of empty, and dusty buildings no-one lives in.

If Letho’s dead, Geralt has to fight several wraiths instead.

But besides looting the place, the reward (one hundred crowns) is well worth it.

Devil’s Pit

Alternatively,he can attempt to sneak in, but the effort isn’t worth it.

There’s nothing to do in the club, aside from looting several containers.
