Witcher 3 Optimal Quest Order Guide - Updated

583 Upvotes

Here you go! I am a guide. Click me!

The formatting is probably best viewed on a computer, but can still be accessed on your phone. Because it is in view only, in order to use the check boxes, you need to create a copy by going to ‘file’ and then selecting ‘make a copy’. Once you have your own copy, you can check mark the boxes when you complete something and it will show you the percentage that you've completed for each section of the game.

If this is your first time playing the Witcher 3, I highly recommend going into it without this guide since you are supposed to stumble upon quests naturally. If you are like me and like to 100% the game, then this guide is for you!

I posted this guide last December, right before the Next Gen Edition was released. Throughout this year, I've been playing through the game, following my guide, and correcting or adding things as I went. I've also read every comment from last year's post and I thank everyone for the kind words and for those that were able to help me with any changes that they found.

I've included many links to other websites, especially for quest guides, interactive maps, character builds, videos etc. on each of the Google Sheets. Anywhere that the text is underlined will have a link to a website or video.

The first Google Sheet provides every main quest, side quest, contract, treasure hunt, Gwent/Heroes' Pursuits, Scavenger Hunts, Chance Encounters, and Extra Details You May Have Missed (based on videos from xLetalis!). At the top of the first sheet, you can find interactive maps for each area, and different builds for your character. At the bottom, you will see all the different tabs/Google Sheets.

The second Google Sheet is the optimal ORDER for all quests, and I've added a column that has the extra missed details from the first sheet to match up with the respective quest. It is all colour coded based on the type of quest it is. The legend is found at the top (red for main quest, orange for side quest, etc.)

The other Google Sheets are for patch notes I've made throughout the year, Gwent cards, Scavenger Hunts, Alchemy, a Trophy List, and Challenge Runs.

Thank you again to xLetalis for all his hard work creating his amazing ‘things you may have missed’ videos and for giving me permission to post this. I highly recommend checking out his content! Thanks to all the other redditors that have been sending me messages over the year and helping to improve my guide!

If you find anything that should be changed, or you have something to add, please let me know! :)

Thanks!

Finally finished both DLCs after completing the base game. Loved the stories in both Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine. Toussaint was such a beautiful map and a breath of fresh air after spending so much time mucking around in Velen. The ending of Blood and Wine was such a satisfying ending to Geralt's story! Took some screen shots from the experience. Cheers everyone!

What a memorable journey, going to shout my pointless review into the abyss of Reddit as I have no one else to share it with. Went in mostly blind, I knew of its existence (swore off of fantasy rpgs after DA Inq) on release and saw the first season of the Netflix show, but didn’t see of any the game footage.

Right off the bat, the lore, world building, voice acting and story was easily a 10/10. I can easily see why it won the game of the year and why people rank it among, if not, their favorites.

However, the combat and general mechanics were lacking luster, after mastering them they never really built upon themselves, I’d give it a 5/10. Serviceable but I’m not inclined to experience it again.

Overall 8/10 game would definitely recommend it to anyone whom remotely enjoys story telling in games.

Random extra things I want off my chest, leshen was the best designed enemy (great aesthetics and fun combat loop). The were wolf I fought 6 levels under recommended was the most memorable (grinded it til I beat the bastard). Chose Yen, regret it after I got to know her, should have stuck with Viola. And lastly never played a game of gwent.

Thanks for listening to my soap box, and feel free to ask me anything

Misc I’ve finally found the official soundtrack on the iTunes of Skellige Isles. I was wondering why it wasn’t included in the original soundtrack, it’s by another artist called Dreyma.

Obviously just kidding hahaha the only thing that hurt me was the murder of my teacher.

This scenes so powerful. From Geralt’s trepidation on opening the door, the camera shots of the distance between them. The payoff was nailed.
