The Witcher 3: 10 Best Side Quests You Must Complete

3. The Lord Of Undvik

After leaving Novigrad for the Skellige Isles, it's easy to be blown away by just how much is left to uncover in The Witcher 3. Novigrad and Velen make for a substantial open world map all on their own, but the additional content that's on offer when you reach the isles is pretty staggering.

But what's even more intriguing is the way so much changes here. The landscape, the atmosphere, the inhabitants, and the creatures take on new forms and behaviours; it's almost like starting out in a whole new game.

Capturing this early(ish) is easy, too. The Lord of Undvik quest puts you at the centre of the hierarchical struggles of Skellige and sends you right into the heart of this fascinating region. Heading off in search of an Ice Giant that's terrorised the area for over a year, Geralt and his new companions have to defeat the beast and help Hjalmar stake his claim to be king.

This is the quintessential Skellige quest for those looking to get involved in the area.
