Talk to Friends Who Could Help Defeat the Hunt (Optional)
The next main quest after The Isle of Mists leads to a pivotal battle in the game. You can choose to recruit allies for The Battle of Kaer Morhen by completing Brothers in Arms: Skellige, Brothers in Arms: Novigrad, Brothers in Arms: Nilfgaard, and Brothers in Arms: Velen.
These are optional Main Quests. You don’t have to complete all of them, or any at all, but we recommend doing so to make the Battle of Kaer Morhen much easier. Skipping them will also fail several questlines, locking you out of rewards and even story opportunities with key characters.
Should I Complete Brothers in Arms?
Objectives 2-4
| Step-by-step Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 |
 Get on a Boat in Skellige When you’re ready, travel to Skellige, head to any of the three marked docks in the region, and get on a boat. |
| 2 |
 Travel to the Isle of Mists Sail toward the marked objective in the western part of the region. As you approach, you’ll be prompted to save your progress. We recommend saving your game, as you won’t be able to return to the Isle of Mists after this quest unless you have a save file from before this point. |
| 3 |
 Follow the Firefly After the cutscene, follow the firefly across the sea. It’s best to keep some distance, as it flies around before moving in a straight line. This helps you avoid crashing your boat into rocks and wreckage. Beware of Ekhidnas flying over the waters as well. |
Objectives 5-6
Once the firefly reaches land, get off the boat and continue following it. It will lead you to a hut uphill. Interact with the door to trigger a cutscene.
Objectives 7-10
| Step-by-step Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 |
Find the Missing Dwarves The dwarves will ask for your help in searching for their friends Ivo, Gaspard, and Ferenc. Note that you can explore the Isle of Mists at this point, so feel free to look around for chests before continuing, as you won’t be able to return afterward. |
| 2 |
 Look for Ivor in the Cave Head north from the hut to find Ivo on top of a rock near a cave. |
| 3 |
 Look for Ferenc Along the Coast Head southwest across the island to find Ferenc’s corpse in the tall grass near the coast. |
| 4 |
 Look for Gaspard Near the Lighthouse Head northwest and climb to the top of the lighthouse, where you’ll find Gaspard. Escort him back to the hut while keeping him awake and fighting off enemies along the way. |
| 5 |
Bring Gaspard to the Hut Once Gaspard returns to the hut, a cutscene will trigger, ending the quest. You’ll then find yourself back in Kaer Morhen. |
