Around the World in... Eight Days is a treasure hunt quest in the Blood and Wine expansion.
Walkthrough[]
You can pick up this quest from a chest, which can be found east of Coronata Vineyard, guarded by some bandits. Inside you will find diagram: Toussaint Ducal Guardsman's trousers, a key, and an unfinished report; the latter when read directs you to the treasure location. You can also find a journal on a nearby corpse.
At the marked location you will find two more bandits standing near a wagon. Kill them then unlock the casket located right behind the wagon to finish the quest. While not part of the quest, the other big chest nearby has Blinders of the Five Chivalric Virtues.
Journal entry[]
- Traversing the fairytale duchy of Toussaint, Geralt came upon a gang of degenerate scoundrels. Unhappy with their lot in life, they promptly ran at him, then enthusiastically skewered themselves on his sword. The witcher searched their camp and found some interesting notes...
- From these he learned of an ill-fated traveler, a nobleman from Caravista, one Conrad Veidt. Veidt had bet his friends he could traverse the entire Continent in just eighty days! Alas, his journey ended after just eight days, in Toussaint, where his wagon, loaded with supplies to last the entire trek, wound up at the bottom of a lake.
- Geralt decided to find the wagon once belonging to Veidt, an adventurer who had fallen prey to highway robbers. The witcher, too, was a traveler and explorer. As such he knew a planned voyage of this sort required the one undertaking it to prepare for all eventualities. This included carrying valuables. So he found the site of the traveler's demise, where he dispatched another gang of bandits seeking to nab the adventurer's load. Then lickety-split he dove in and picked the sunken wagon clean of all things precious.
Objectives[]
- Read the bandit's notes.
- Find the sunken wagon in the lake.
Bugs[]
- The quest can bug and not complete if you don't investigate the tracks leading to the wagon prior to looting the casket. Reloading an earlier save and investigating the clues will allow you to complete it normally.
Notes[]
- The casket behind the wagon will always contain 175-300 florens, 3-6 chitinous shells, 1-2 dimeritium ingots, 1-4 hardened leather, 1-3 infused crystals, 1-3 orichalcum ore, duck confit, Rivian kriek and possibly a couple of minor random items.
Trivia[]
- The quest name is in reference to the book, Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne.
- The name Conrad Veidt is also a reference to the 1919 film based on the book. In the film the main character, Phileas Fogg, is played by German actor, Conrad Veidt.
