I don't think killing the Leshen is necessary. It didn't attack me, it doesn't randomly attack anyone. In fact, the reason people are dying are dying are for the very same reason they'd die without the Leshen; wolves, harsh climate, being unprepared, people being dickheads. Without the Leshen's protection, they'd also starve to death, because the presence of the Leshen is what brings the abundance of game.

Unlike the Crones (who I was actually prepared to let live), the Leshen doesn't demand an actual sacrifice of children. The woods are a proving ground, and only the fittest who enter will be the ones to leave. Some have cleverly noted that fighting five wolves is a surprisingly low number on the Skellige Isles. I had gone in expecting to get absolutely slaughtered by the Leshen and it's woodland pals- instead had a nice time collecting herbs, fought some wolves, made some crow friends, came out and the people are the ones being horrible.
