Update 10 - Pursuit of the Hunt
We made our way further through the cave, following the symbols as instructed. We soon came to another of the elf’s projections, this time telling us to “find Kelpie,” which was apparently the name of Ciri’s horse. After springing a couple of traps, and examining some horse drawings in a pool below us, I was able to open a secret door.
Keira and I entered it to find a portal, which took us to a room containing a golem. I kinda sucked in this battle. Took me a few tries to finally kill it, although Keira dealt the final blow in the end. Soon enough, we found another portal, which took us to the other side of the bridge at the entrance to the ruins. All of the mage’s guardians had been frozen by the Wild Hunt. We followed the path to find the Wild Hunt trying to open some door. When they spotted us, one of the mages cast a freezing spell across the room and created a set of portals, from which came a bunch of monsters to fight us off. Keira created a shield to get us through the chamber, which meant I had to protect her so that she could close the portals.
After we were through the chamber, we continued our chase. We eventually came to a lone Wild Hunt soldier, Nithral. This fight was pretty fun, but it was a bit annoying when he decided to shield himself and regain all of his health. Defeating Nithral, we found yet another projection from the elf. It didn’t have much to say, aside from mentioning some witches at Crookback Bog, wherever that was. Keira said she’d read about them, and gave me her book. I’d have to read it later, though; we had to find a way out of these ruins first. Keira gave me some disc thing that would open up hidden passages or something.
In return for her helping me, Keira wanted something back. The elf had promised her a magic lamp, but seeing as he wasn’t here to give it to her, she would have to find it, and so I offered to help her. This required completing a puzzle which was basically lighting four torches in the correct order to open a door. Behind it, Keira found her lamp.
Finally, we reached the surface, and were out of the ruins for good. It was here that Keira and Geralt said goodbye, but not before Keira asked Geralt to come see her again sometime. I suppose I could do that later. For now, I would either look into the witches of Crookback Bog, or go see the Bloody Baron.
