The Witcher 3: White Orchard Secondary Quests and Witcher Contracts
A detailed guide to all of the side quests, secrets, monster hunts and surprises contained in the White Orchard region of The Witcher 3.
The bonus quests in the White Orchard region of the Witcher 3 provide a gentle introduction to this pleasant but impoverished rural backwater, one full of occupying forces, farms, hostile peasants, wolves, and a ghostly presence at the well.
The first Contract mission you receive - Devil in the Well - isn't a particularly challenging one, but it should give you a flavour of how most of the Contracts are structured: talk to someone, do some Witchering, and then kill something. Lovely stuff.
If you're looking for more assistance, our Witcher 3 walkthrough can help.
