The Witcher 3: Wild Heart - Quest Solution

You can easily solve the quest "Wild Heart" from The Witcher 3 with our game tip. Since the solution to a quest is presented in the following article, a spoiler warning is of course self-evident.

Wild heart - this is the starting point

On the notice board of Schwarzzweig you will find a notice that starts the quest "Wild Heart"

• They then meet with the local hunter Nielle, who has been missing his wife for five days.
• The missing person's sister tells you that she would not start alone and that it is extremely unusual for her to disappear so suddenly.
• You then look around with Geralt in the village and talk to possible witnesses. The blacksmith's children tell you that the missing person went into the forest with a woman. However, they could not see who this second woman was.
• Geralt is on his way to the forest and the witchcraft will soon be the first to investigate. But suddenly a pack of wolves appears.
• Once you've defeated the wolves, you'll meet the missing person's sister again, who will persuade you to stop searching and tell Nielle that his wife Hanna is dead. It offers you 55 crowns. We advise you to do this because you will receive the gold immediately and not only after completing the quest.

Variant 1: Nielle say that Hanna is dead

You can now go back to Nielle and tell him that Hanna is dead. However, the quest ends immediately and you will not find out what actually happened and, above all, why Hanna's sister has something to hide.

Variant 2: Expose the werewolf and let Hanna die

If you choose to continue the quest, you can examine the claw marks, the animal carcass, and Hanna's body.

• Geralt finds out that it must have been a werewolf and you trace its traces up to a tree.
• On the other side of the tree you will find a tuft of fur that Geralt uses to trace the smell of the werewolf.
• You will then arrive at a hut, where you will find a lot of boxes and a note on the floor. The werewolf's hiding place is under the house.
• If you enter the hiding place during the day, you will not find the werewolf because it is only there at night. So leave the cave again and meditate.
• When you re-enter the hiding place, the werewolf attacks you from the entrance and is followed by three normal wolves. We have summarized in another article how you can best fight a werewolf.
• Once the werewolf's health is reduced to about a third, Hanna's sister enters the scene again and tells you that Nielle is the werewolf.
• They learn that Hanna's own sister brought her into the forest so that Nielle eats his own wife and finds comfort from her.
• Now you can decide whether Nielle is allowed to kill the woman or whether you should kill him beforehand, since he is a monster after all and if you eliminated him, you would only do your job as a witcher.
• If Nielle kills the woman, he will follow you out of the cave and ask for his own death, since he cannot live with the burden of killing his own wife.

Variant 3: Expose the werewolf and spare Hanna

If you decide against it and you want Hanna's sister to stay alive, you have to go up against Nielle in his werewolf form and rob him of his last third of his life.

• No matter which of the last two variants you choose: you get the same number of experience points and a key from Nielle, with which a locked chest can be looted in the hut.
