Talk:The Queen Harpy Contract/@comment-977207-20200110232346

This quest will not show in your journal just because you pull the notice off the board by the Inn.

You have to carry Hunting Magic through to the point that you find a crystal (ref Hunting Magic page for its location) and take it to Phillipa. She will send you to speak with Cecil the alderman (dwarf) of Vergen. Once he agrees to open the gate so you can get to the harpy lair/queen, the harpy queen quest will properly show in your journal. Additionally, this is the only way to reach the last 3 nests for the other Harpy Contract, so that's the only way you can complete that quest too.

Be warned that destroying the harpy nests cuts down *severely* on the local harpy population respawns. If you're trying to grind levels (or orens), run around and grind mobs like a nut *before* you finish the nest quest.
