Embark on a short yet intriguing side adventure with our complete walkthrough for
The Magic Lamp quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This mission becomes available during your critical search for Ciri, specifically after concluding your investigation of the
Mysterious Elf's hideout alongside the sorceress
Keira Metz. Discover how to begin this quest, decipher its central puzzle, and navigate the consequences of your choices with this detailed guide.
How to Begin "The Magic Lamp" Quest
"The Magic Lamp" is a secondary objective that unfolds naturally in
Velen. After finishing the main story task
"Wandering in the Dark" with Keira Metz, she will mention a promise made by the elven mage. He pledged her a powerful magical artifact, and she believes it remains hidden within his cavernous refuge. Your journey for Ciri pauses briefly as Geralt can choose to assist her in this personal errand, leading to a puzzle-filled detour.
Starting the Quest & Entering the CaveAs you exit the primary hideout, Keira will directly ask for your help in retrieving the lamp. You are presented with a dialogue choice:
- Agree to help: This is the straightforward way to start the quest immediately.
- Refuse: You can initially turn her down, but the quest remains available. Simply follow her into the adjacent chamber before leaving the area to change your mind and begin.
Once committed, follow Keira into a new chamber sealed by a magically locked door. Using
Geralt's Witcher Senses, examine the door to find an inscription. Keira will translate the
Elder Speech riddle, which provides the cryptic key to progressing.
Solving the Torch Statue Puzzle
The locked room contains four statues, each with an unlit brazier at itsbase. Your objective is to ignite these braziers in the exact sequencehinted at by the riddle. Lighting them incorrectly will spawn hostile Wraiths, offering little reward for the combat hassle.
You can light each brazier by interacting with it or casting the Igni Sign from a distance. The correct torch lighting order is:
Third statue from the left.Second statue from the left.Fourth statue (the one on the far right).First statue (the one on the far left).Successfully lighting the braziers in this sequence will unlock the sealed door, granting access to the inner sanctum.
Quest Conclusion & Rewards
Inside the final chamber, approach the ancient shrine to trigger a cutscene.Geralt and Keira will discuss the site's origins before she finallyclaims the Magic Lamp. While its full function remains unclear to her, obtaining it completes her immediate goal.
To finish the quest, simply exit the cave system. Upon reaching thesurface, Keira will thank Geralt and depart via portal. Crucially,before leaving, she will urge Geralt to visit her at her cottage in Velen, subtly initiating the follow-up side quest, "An Invitation from Keira Metz." Completing The Magic Lamp thus not only yields experience but also deepens your alliance with a key character, unlocking further narrative opportunities.
