No Place Like Home is a main quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

It is started after completing the first three subquests started by Ugly Baby. Note that, if you wish to delay starting it, it's best not to leave Disturbance for last of the three, as this one would begin automatically once you finish talking to Yennefer.

Walkthrough[]

After Geralt and Yennefer figure out how to release Uma from the curse, they team up with Lambert, Eskel and Vesemir to talk about Uma. Vesemir states that he will try a method to release Uma, and will be away in the woods around Kaer Morhen. While he is away, Geralt, Yennefer, Lambert and Eskel start talking about various subjects. In the dialogues, answer the way you want, as it changes the reaction of the characters. At the end of the conversation, Yennefer will call Geralt to talk alone.

Depending on your actions on The Last Wish quest, there may be two consequences: If the player replied that he loves Yennefer during this quest, she will ask Geralt to have an intimate moment, which you can accept or not; If you have said that you no longer want to be with her, this dialog does not trigger. Regardless, the two return to talk a little more with Lambert and Eskel. Yennefer says she's tired and goes to bed, while Geralt accompanies her to the bedroom if they are still a couple, or otherwise just raids the kitchen.

Upon returning, the witcher encounters his two friends talking about a Samovila contract Eskel got some time ago. Time goes on while talking and drinking, and eventually you can choose to go to bed or stay a bit more. Important: This choice may be presented multiple times, but if you do opt to go to sleep at any point, the quest will end, skipping all remaining activities and the optional XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level reward.

Asking about the samovila will only result in more dialogue and banter. You can also play gwent, which will count as playing Lambert as part of Gwent: Old Pals if you haven't challenged him already (it doesn't matter if you bet money). However, the choice you really don't want to miss is "Let's have some fun." Note that, when you choose that option, all other remaining ones will be skipped, so leave it for last if you're not in a hurry.

If you decided to have fun, the three witchers will first play "never have I ever" while getting even more drunk, before their booze runs out and Eskel goes to fetch more. After another small conversation, Geralt and Lambert notice him missing and now you have to find Eskel. It's not hard to find his tracks with spilled alcohol around them, and they will lead you just outside the keep, where you find Eskel drunk asleep on the floor with his Lil' Bleater beside him. (500XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level)

As you wake him up, Lambert will propose using Yennefer's megascope to invite her sorceress friends to the party. At this point, you can safely decline to end the quest without missing on rewards. However, if you do agree with Lambert, the trio will go upstairs to use the megascope and depending on your choice, can even dress up as women in order to "blend in". Aside from the obvious fun, this choice only affects if the person you contact recognizes you as witchers, or thinks the Lodge is out to get him. Either way, Yennefer will eventually appear and send you all to bed, completing the quest.

Journal entry[]

Once Geralt had helped both Lambert and Eskel, Yennefer was ready to lift Uma's curse. Yet in a surprise twist, Vesemir demanded they wait. The old witcher wanted to try his own, less risky method before the sorceress went about her invasive business. The others all bowed to his seniority and wisdom and let him take Uma to treat as he wished - leaving them with an unexpectedly free evening to fill. Eskel timidly suggested they spend this time productively, but this suggestion lost out to a more attractive alternative - a night of drink and camaraderie.

If Geralt goes straight to bed:

During their well-lubricated gathering Yennefer finally revealed her plan to the witchers: if Vesemir proved unable to lift Uma's curse, she would subject the being to the Trials of Grasses. These were the exceptionally dangerous and painful alchemical procedures young boys used to be forced to undergo in order to become witchers. It is no wonder, then, that Yennefer's intentions proved highly controversial. The sorceress defended her idea, holding that only by preparing Uma's body in this drastic way would it be able to survive the shock of lifting the curse. This unsettling news needed time to be properly digested, and so the witchers broke out a few more bottles and exchanged some stories with Yennefer before heading to bed. They had a very big day ahead of them - a day in which they just might find Ciri.

If Geralt stays for a while:

During their well-lubricated gathering Yennefer finally revealed her plan to the witchers: if Vesemir proved unable to lift Uma's curse, she would subject the being to the Trials of Grasses. These were the exceptionally dangerous and painful alchemical procedures young boys used to be forced to undergo in order to become witchers. It is no wonder, then, that Yennefer's intentions proved highly controversial. The sorceress defended her idea, holding that only by preparing Uma's body in this drastic way would it be able to survive the shock of lifting the curse. This upsetting news needed to be properly digested. And so, after Yennefer went to sleep, the witchers turned to the tried and true digestive-aiding powers of hard alcohol, card playing and the recounting of ribald tales.

Objectives[]

  • Proceed to Kaer Morhen's main hall.
  • Return to the witchers.
  • If decided to have fun:

Bugs[]

  • Sometimes one's equipped trousers will disappear completely after the quest if Yennefer's is put on. In this case, it's best to manually unequip so one can then re-equip them afterwards, or re-load a previous save before Yennefer's was equipped to try and recover them if they disappeared.

Notes[]

  • If Geralt is romancing Yennefer, their second romantic encounter of the game takes place during this quest.
  • In a cut content phase of this quest (now only mentioned in passing dialogue as reason why Eskel goes for vodka), Geralt would have to go and raid the kitchen for food. He could bring back bread, cheese and possibly sausages.
