Step-by-Step Walkthrough

  • Starting the Quest

    • Begin this quest in the region near the area of the "Panic in the Zerrikanian Desert".
    • You will get a quest prompt to investigate a strange disturbance in Gloaming Vale.

  • Finding the Location

    • Head to Gloaming Vale; it's located north of Oxenfurt.
    • Keep an eye out for a shrine marked on your map. It’s crucial to enter that area to trigger the quest.

  • Interacting with the Shrine

    • After inspecting the shrine, you will meet a character named Krevin.
      • He will share stories about the god's greed and the hunger for wealth.
      • Agree to help him to move forward in the quest.

  • The Secondary Quest

    • Krevin will provide a secondary quest to fetch three Golden Idols that were taken by the god.
    • These idols are located in different nearby spots:
      • The first idol is guarded by ghouls just west of the shrine.
      • The second idol is located in a cave south of Gloaming Vale, overrun by bandits. Be prepared for combat.
      • The third idol can be found in a flooded area east of the shrine, requiring you to dive underwater.

  • Collecting the Idols

    • As you collect each idol, utilize Geralt’s Signs to gain a tactical advantage.
      • For ghouls, Igni is particularly useful.
      • Against the bandits, employing Axii can help turn them against each other.

  • Returning to Krevin

    • You’ll have the option to keep the idols, which may affect the ending of the quest.

  • Making Choices

    • Krevin will offer you a reward for bringing back the idols.
    • You must choose whether to accept his proposition or confront him about his own greed.
      • If you choose confrontation, be prepared for a fight.

  • Quest Completion

    • Depending on your choices, the quest may end with Geralt gaining wealth, a special item, or gaining knowledge about the god’s lore.
