The Lord of Undvik Walkthrough

	Objectives
1	Take a boat at the harber of Kaer Trolde. Sail west, after passing the lighthouse, sail south west. When the jagged rocks are reached, sail around from the left. Continue sailing towards the marker. Gain 100 XP when you reach near the island.
2	It is recommended to shore on the northeast side of the island, as it is near the Marling Coast signpost. Walk eastward along the coast until you reach it.
3	Continue eastward following the road. Keep to the road that is leading to the marker. You will know you are on the right path if see a corpse after passing the wooden bridge.
4	Keep following the road until a cutscene starts. After the cutscene, go toward the boat hull. 3 Sirens will be flying around nearby. Kill them, then talk to the stranger inside the hull.
5	Ask the stranger about Hjalmar. If you found twine and nails (a quest item that can be found around the island in wooden planks found on the ground), you can give it to the stranger for 200 XP.
6	Follow the marked road to Hjalmar's camp. Use your Witcher Sense to examine the corpses, then to find footprints.
7	Follow the footprints. Examine any clues you find with your Witcher Sense. Follow the clues to a cave.
8	Enter the cave and follow the pools of blood. You will encounter an Ice Troll in the first chamber. Kill the Ice Troll then continue following the blood stains.
9	The blood stains will lead you to a ledge; climb up and continue along the passage way.
10	You will encounter 2 more Ice Trolls. They will be preparing to turn Folan into soup. You can play a game of riddles, or you can choose to fight 3 Ice Trolls. The correct answer to the riddle is the dialogue choice [It's trolls]. Saving Folan will reward you with 200 XP.
11	Retrace your steps back to the camp at the guard tower. Use your Witcher Sense to find another trail. Follow it. Cross the lake to the village on the other side of the lake.
12	Use your Witcher Sense to find footprints in the middle of the village. Follow the footprints into the cave.
13	Jump down the cliff inside the cave. There is water at the bottom. There will be 2 Erynias flying nearby.
14	Head north inside the cave. You will find another an Craite warrior and more blood stains. Follow the trail of blood.
15	You will reach a big chamber with a tree and 5 Harpies flying over it. There will be a ladder and scaffolding going up. Climb up the scaffolding.
16	Continue following the trail of blood. There will be 2 Devourers at the fork in the passage.
17	Take the right passage. 2 more Devourers will be guarding the exit.
18	After leaving the cave, enter the ruined house. 3 Devourers will be waiting inside the first room to the left.
19	There will be footprints outside the big hole in the wall. Follow the footprints. The trail will split into two; follow the smaller footprints.
20	At the end of the trail you will find Hjalmar fighting 2 Sirens; help him. Note: There are nails you can give to Octo here in planks scattered around the village. You will need to loot just one.
21	Head south through the village to the marker.
22	Enter the cave. You will find Vigi the Loon inside a cage and the Ice Giant sleeping nearby. You can choose to free him or fight the giant straight away. Whatever you choose will start the fight with the giant. Vigi will die if you do not free him before the fight. If you choose to free Vigi, you will need to get to the drawer near the giant to get the key then back to the cage to unlock it. Avoid stepping on the snow as it will wake up the giant and start the fight. Freeing Vigi will give you 200 XP.
23	Kill the Ice Giant for 100 XP.

The Lord of Undvik Choices

Saving Foland and Vigi are both optional, but are recommended. Helping them will award the player some extra XP and both of them wll appear with Hjalmar in the main quest The Battle of Kaer Morhen if Hjalmar was recruited.

The Lord of Undvik Tips and Strategies

Finding Nails for Octo

Boards with lootable nails can be found in the ship graveyard located along the shore of the harbor north of Undvik. It is located near the eastern mountain range, on the right side of the giant barricade. Just follow the wall on the right of the barrice to the north; you will see the planks to your right.

More nails can be found in Dorve Ruins, the location you find Hjalmar fighting the Sirens. There are planks with nails outside the first house on the left when you enter the village. There is another pile of planks outside the house found in the middle of the village.

Using the Hornwall Horn Against Sirens

You can find the Hornwall Horn nearby the dead Clan an Craite warrior outside the cave with the ice trolls. It can be equipped to your pocket from the Quest Items in your inventory. Using it will make all nearby flying Sirens crash into the ground.

Fighting the Ice Giant

Attacks

Basic Melee	Swings his arms to hit Geralt. Deals damage.
Charging Attack	Charges forward and swings his arms at Geralt. Deals damage and is a multi-hit attack.
Slam Attack	Jumps up and slams its fists in front of it.
Stomp Attack	Stomps its feet dealing damage in area around its foot.
Anchor Slam	Swings the anchor into the ground. Deals damage and has a long range.

Troll Riddle Solution

The Troll's riddle is Lots eats, lots drinks. Big he be, steps big he, big he bash. As you may expect, the correct answer is a troll.

Strategy

Preparing Ogroid Oil will help you deal more damage. The Ice Giant's movement and attacks are slow. Try to get in 2-3 hits, then prepare to dodge. All of its attacks are obviously telegraphed so it will not be too hard to dodge them.

If you do still have a hard time dodging them, you can use Yrden to slow the giant even more. Igni will do a lot of burn damage when the giant is hit, so use it whenever you can for good damage. And Quen can block the damage if the giant does hit you.

When the giant has almost lost 1/3 of its health, a cutscene will play where it will pick an anchor as his weapon. With the anchor, the giant's attacks will be slamming down the anchor, basic melee attacks, and a stomping attack. After that happens, keep a bit of distance and wait for the giant to do the anchor slam, then get in close for 3-4 hits.
