Gnomish Prankings is a book in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

It can be found as random loot on most bookshelves and some wooden chests throughout the entire game, or purchased from the merchant in Putrid Grove.

In the Blood and Wine expansion, it can be found as random loot inside rich houses around Beauclair.

Journal entry[]

Scrub the greasings from a dog's ear, soak into cotton twine, place in a new lamp of greenish hue and set said lamp betwixt an eager crowd - forsooth shall they swear that a dog's head they behold, and this shall be no sorcery, but good betidings.
For the prince of Ellander's nuptials, a paltry gnome armed with a miniature cutlass behid himself in a pie. When guests partook of the princely banquet, anon jumped out of the besabred gnome, giving a terrible fright to all at first, then causing much merriment once the jest was figured.
A cynocephalus, or a doghead, in our tongue, a beast that in the wastes of Zanguebar dwells, has the corpus of a man but the head of a dog. The Prince of Ellander did receive such a specimen from those far-off lands. The cynocephalus lets stream its urine with the tolling of every hour, both day and night, and this is why the Zanguebarians engrave its likeness on timepieces and compasses.

Notes[]

  • In early development of the game, certain "perk" abilities were meant to be acquired by reading books such as this one. The idea was eventually scrapped, but this particular book would've provided the ability to strike opponents while riding a horse.
