The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This comprehensive walkthrough details the exact location, recommended level, and key strategies for all
24 major monster hunting contracts across Velen, Novigrad, Skellige, and the sun-drenched vineyards of Toussaint. Whether you're a novice Witcher or a seasoned veteran, our step-by-step instructions will help you track, confront, and defeat every beast for glory and coin.
Why Complete Every Witcher Contract?
Witcher Contracts are more than just side quests; they are the core of Geralt's profession. Each contract offers a rich, self-contained story, substantial Crown rewards, valuable monster trophies for your inventory, and crucial Experience Points to level up. Mastering these hunts will test your combat skills, preparation with oils and potions, and investigative use of your Witcher Senses.
