Not only does the quest involve exploration and combat, but it also fleshes out the lore of the game. This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough to help you navigate through the quest successfully.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

  • Starting the Quest

    • To begin the quest, you need to have completed the "The King is Dead – Long Live the King" quest. Once you finish this, travel to the southern part of the Skellige Isles.
    • Locate your quest marker on a small island called "The Isle of Daggra" where you will find a character named “Jorund” who will inform you about Skjall’s fate.

  • Interacting with Jorund

    • Once you approach Jorund, engage him in conversation.
      • He will tell you that Skjall has passed, and you’ll learn about his burial site.
      • Jorund will ask you to find Skjall's grave and ensure it is honored properly.

  • Locate Skjall’s Grave

    • After talking to Jorund, follow the quest marker that directs you to Skjall’s grave, located to the northwest from the village.
    • Use your Witcher senses to help you locate the grave in the area. The grave itself is situated near a small shrine.

  • Examine the Grave

    • Once you reach the grave site, interact with the shrine.
      • You will gather clues regarding what happened to Skjall.
      • Look for a few items like flowers and the idol that can be picked up from the surround area and take note of any markings.

  • Interaction Points

    • Examine three items around the grave:
      • Idol - Examine this first, you will get a snippet about Skjall's life and who he was to the people of Skellige.
      • Flowers - Picking these represents the grieving process and can impact your dialogue later on.
      • Torn pages - They will reveal additional backstory about Skjall and might give you insight into future quests or encounters.

  • Return to Jorund

    • After you're finished at the grave, return to Jorund to report your findings.
      • During the conversation, you will have dialogue options regarding how to honor Skjall's memory. Choose wisely as it can affect Jorund’s perception of Skjall's legacy.

  • Gwent Card Reward

    • Upon completing your conversation with Jorund, he might reward you with a Gwent card featuring Skjall.
      • If you're interested in collecting cards, this is a worthwhile incentive.

  • Optional Exploration

    • If you still have time, consider exploring the area further for additional treasures or enemies to battle. Completing this quest can often lead to discovering new storylines.
