Forefather's Eve Walkthrough

The Forefather's Eve quest in The Witcher 3 is a unique Velen side quest that delves into local superstitions and a rather unusual monster. You'll be tasked with investigating strange occurrences surrounding a village's ancestral burial grounds. This quest offers a blend of investigation, combat, and a touch of the uncanny, typical of Geralt's adventures in the war-torn lands of Velen.

To begin Forefather's Eve, you'll need to find a notice on a notice board in the village of Midcopse, located in Velen. This notice will detail strange happenings and missing livestock, pointing towards a potential monster threat. Upon accepting the quest, Geralt will travel to the village and speak with the concerned inhabitants. They will explain their traditions and fears surrounding the ancient burial site, particularly during the period of Forefather's Eve.

Your investigation will lead you to the burial grounds, where you'll need to use your Witcher Senses to track down clues. Expect to find evidence of a struggle and the presence of a rather peculiar creature. The quest culminates in a confrontation with a Leshen, a powerful ancient forest spirit. Preparation is key, so ensure you have the correct oils and potions ready. The Leshen is vulnerable to i and Cursed Oil. After defeating the Leshen, you can return to the villagers for your reward, which typically includes coin and experience.
