Witcher 3: Mistresses of the Walkthrough Forest

You will encounter the quest "Mistresses of the Forest" very early in history and you should not delay it too long. Without the quest you cannot end "family affairs". We have the full walkthrough for you:

1. As soon as you arrive in the village, you will see children playing and the grandma, who are all not very talkative. Go to Grandma's house so that you can find out about Hansi. After she blocks you, go out again and ask the children about Hansi. Either give them candy or play hide and seek. No matter what you do: the children will tell you about Hansi afterwards.
2. Go to the east of the village and kill the opponents. This will update the quest and you can follow Hansi's footsteps. You will eventually find him in his cave.
3. In the following dialog you will learn that Hansi has lost his voice. He leads you to a rabbit nest, in which there should be something that gives him his voice. Defeat the harpies and take the feather and the sealed bottle.
4. When opening the bottle, Hansi finds his voice again and you learn that Ciri went to the orphanage. Follow Hansi there through the swamp. After you arrive, grandma will lead you to a tapestry.
5. After the cutscene, talk to Grandma again to learn about the village elder in Niederwirr and to receive the dagger.
6. Now travel to Niederwirr and start a conversation with the village elder. You learn from him about the incidents and the oak tree on the hill. Follow your quest symbol and you will find the Whisper Hill. Approach him to start the quest "The Whisper Hill".
7. Kill the werewolf in front of the cave entrance and enter it. Then go into the right corridor and dive to the other side. Take all items from the chests and reappear. The next cutscene will then start.
8. You now have two options: either you kill the tree or you help it. If you kill him, you just have to fight him. He is not a strong opponent and you should be able to defeat him on the first try.
9. If you want to help him, you need to get three items. The raven feathers, a black mare and the bones of the spirit. You should already have the raven feathers from the encounter with Hansi in your inventory. You can find the remains of the spirit northwest of the oak, the horses south of the old oak. Approach until you can calm the horses with Axii and ride one of them back to the oak.
10. With both solutions you have to go out again afterwards and get the ear of the village elder. Travel back to the Waisendorf with it. You will now find yourself in Ciri's perspective. Complete this section and the quest is complete.
