What Was This About Again? is a treasure hunt quest in the Blood and Wine expansion.
Walkthrough[]
At the hidden treasure marker located north of Plegmund's Bridge, there is a sunken ship with a couple of drowners swimming around it. Loot the skeleton inside the ship to find a key and the ship captain's log, which can be read to obtain directions to the chest inside a nearby cave.
Once inside the cave, and out of the water, you will encounter a shaelmaar. It can appear right at where you emerge from the water and being a very tight tunnel in that spot, prepare accordingly and if necessary try to roll ahead into the wider cave. Afterwards, climb the wall to the right from where you entered. You will reach a higher area where you will find the chest; unlock it to end the quest and receive diagram: Tah'rel, at least 200
, and some valuables as a reward; a damaged journal is also inside the chest.
Objectives[]
- Read the captain's log.
- Find the treasure chest.
Journal entry[]
- While strolling the banks of the Sansretour, Geralt came upon a riverboat. Within it, he found the remains of its captain. The old salt had not parted with his ship's log, even in death. His curiosity piqued, the witcher proceeded to look through the mariner's notes...
- Geralt thus learned the boat's story, including how it had run aground. But that was not all, no, that was not all! A shaelmaar had played a part in the boat's demise. The monster could still be prowling about. In his ship's log, the captain also mentioned a casket brimming with jewels. The witcher resolved to kill the beast and find the treasure!
- All shaelmaars are demanding foes, and this one proved no different. Yet in his time Geralt had bested beasts far more ferocious. So he first gutted the monster, then found the chest full of precious stones.
Notes[]
- The reward loot will always be diagram: Tah'rel, 250-400
, 2-3 emeralds, 1-3 diamonds and 3-5 pearls, 3-6 chitinous shells, 1-4 hardened leather, 1-3 infused crystals, 1-2 dimeritium ingots, 1-3 orichalcum ore and random minor items. - In an ambient conversation between a merchant and a barmaid at the Silver Salamander Inn, it is speculated that this shaelmaar was intended to be a mate for the shaelmaar from the Emperor of Nilfgaard.
