Contract: Here Comes the Groom Walkthrough

This contract begins with Geralt finding a notice on a notice board in the village of Arinbjorn on Ard Skellig. The notice details the mysterious disappearances of several men who were to be groomsmen at a wedding, and the growing fear of a monster lurking nearby.

Starting the Contract

Upon accepting the contract, Geralt will need to speak with the quest giver, a distraught woman named Astrid, who is the bride-to-be. She will explain the situation, detailing the last known whereabouts of the missing men and the eerie occurrences that have led to the wedding's postponement.

Investigating the Area

Geralt's investigation will lead him to the outskirts of the village, near the wedding feast location. Using his Witcher Senses, he'll need to search for clues. Key areas to investigate include:

• The Wedding Feast Site: Look for ss of struggle, dropped items, or any unusual tracks.
• The Path to the Village: Follow any tracks or disturbances that lead away from the feast site.
• Nearby Caves or Dense Woods: Monsters often lair in secluded and dark places.

As Geralt follows the trail, he will likely encounter ss of a struggle and eventually discover the remains of the missing men, confirming a monster's involvement.

Identifying the Monster

The clues will point towards a specific type of monster. In this case, the culprit is a Nekker Warrior, a larger and more aggressive variant of the common Nekker. These creatures are known for their ferocity and pack mentality.

Preparing for the Fight

Before confronting the Nekker Warrior, it's advisable to prepare:

• Oils: Apply Hyrdran Oil to your silver sword, as it is effective against Nekkers.
• Potions: Consider using Swallow for health regeneration and Thunderbolt for increased attack power.
• Bombs: Northern Wind or Grapeshot can be useful for crowd control if more Nekkars are present.

Locating the Lair

The trail will eventually lead Geralt to the monster's lair, which is typically a cave or a secluded area in the wilderness. The Nekker Warrior will be guarding its territory, and possibly its young.

The Confrontation

The fight against the Nekker Warrior can be challenging due to its speed and powerful attacks. Geralt should use:

• Dodging and Rolling: Stay mobile to avoid its lunging attacks.
• Fast Attacks: Geralt's fast attack combo is effective for dealing damage between the monster's assaults.
• Ss: i can be used to stagger the creature and deal damage over time, while Quen can provide a protective shield.

Once the Nekker Warrior is defeated, Geralt can collect his trophy and any loot. He should then return to Astrid to report his findings and claim his reward.

Rewards

Upon completion, Geralt will receive:

• Experience Points
• Gold
• A Nekker Warrior Trophy

This contract offers a straightforward monster hunt with a satisfying conclusion, reinforcing Geralt's role as a protector of the innocent.
