|---|---|
| 1 | Kill the Basilisk |
| 2 | Get to the Top of the Tower and Rescue the Baron |
Kill the Basilisk
The Basilisk's attacks have poison, so be wary of taking too many hits. It will attack in big, wide swings, so use hit and run tactics when it is on the ground – hitting then dodging away.
When the basilisk is flying, you can simply dodge its attacks and stall for time until it lands on the ground. When fighting it on the ground, use your dodge to get behind the basilisk. It will need to turn, making dodging it's attacks easier.
Once the basilisk's health is low enough, it will fly to the top of the tower.
Get to the Top of the Tower and Rescue the Baron
Climb up the ledges near the Signpost to get to the top of the tower. Once you've climbed enough, a cutscene will play out, transitioning you back to Family Matters and completing Ciri's Story: Out of the Shadows quest.
