There are a few out there that are memorable, some are funny, and some evoke some powerful emotions that can get any gamer.
This list of six that we're compiling is not going to be in any particular order and we might miss a few. It's better to think of this list as some of the more popular and fun side quests in Witcher 3. We're also going to provide some quick help on how to get these quest to speed up the process in getting them so if they haven't been found yet, it'll provide some easy access. There are a few honorable mentions and we'll leave them to the last so keep on reading and see if some of these hit close to home.
The Lord of Undvik in Witcher 3
This quest is one that has a ton of the little details that make stories come alive which is the biggest reason why it's in this list. This quest starts in Kaer Trolde which is found in the Skellige Isles on the northwest tip of the map. It's able to be acquired once the quest "The King is Dead - Long Live The King" is completed. Geralt will have to speak to Crache An Caite who's the leader of the Craite Clan. He can be found by going to the Kaer Trolde harbor. Like all RPG style games, talk with as many people as possible as it will further enrich this side quest. The environment is also one that will take hold, with the creepiness of the surroundings and giants making an appearance. It also has Geralt acting as a sort of detective following clues all leading up to a great final battle.
The Last Wish in Witcher 3
This side-quest is one that can play on the heartstrings a bit as a hard choice comes at the end of it. One of the emotionally hard ones to play through and could make up having some hurt feelings at the end making it a memorable quest. This quest is also in the Skellige Isles and becomes available for Geralt to pursue after completing the Nameless quest from the main storyline. To start it, Yennefer will be your quest giver and can be found in Larvik.
Dead Man's Party in Witcher 3
As much as The Last Wish was a tough one emotionally, Dead Man's Party is a quest that can be a really funny one that shows Geralt in a different light. Yes, this is not a side-quest per se but it's part of the main quest of the Hearts of Stone expansion so we'll throw it in here as it's not part of the main Witcher 3 storyline. The movements Geralt has and the comments he makes are what makes this quest brilliant. To get this gem of a quest, Geralt will have to talk to Shani who's located at her clinic near the morgue and the harbor in Oxenfurt's west side. This quest opens up after getting the quests Evil Soft First Touches and Open Sesame!
A Towerful of Mice in Witcher 3
This quest puts a moral dilemma on Geralt and has players wondering which choice to make which greatly influences the storyline for this quest. With that, either ending the plague or not will rack people's minds for a long time and deserves to land in the best quest class. To get this quest, Geralt will have to begin the main quest called Hunting a Witch which leads to the quest Wandering in the Dark that unlocks A Towerful of Mice upon completion. All of these quests will be started by Keira Metz who can be found in Velen east of the Forest Hut fast travel location.
Carnal Sins in Witcher 3
Talk about a twist ending! Carnal Sins will make Geralt believe he did the right thing only to find out that it was the wrong thing to do. The possible ending to this quest is what makes this great as when it's completed in the "correct" way there will be a ton of heads shaking on how things were missed in the first place. To get this mind-numbing quest, the completion of the main quest Poet Under Pressure needs to be completed at which time, the quest Cabaret will open up. Completing this quest will give access to Carnal Sins.
Equine Phantoms in Witcher 3
Last and certainly not least, Roach needs to have his moment in the sun and Equine Phantoms fills the bill. Laughing will be had more often than naught in this quest and it is certainly one to remember. Fun is a pre-requisite of this quest and demanded while doing it. This quest is part of the Blood and Wine DLC and is given by Pinastri who is located northeast of Dun Tynne's Crossroads in Toussaint.
Honorable Side Quest Mentions in Witcher 3
For our honorable mentions, the two that come up are Beyond Hill & Dale and Paperchase. Beyond Hill and Dale in the Blood and Wine DLC had almost every fable imaginable that made a nice change from the regular storyline. Paperchase from the same DLC has Geralt deal with banking bureaucracy in an "art imitating life" story style.
Witcher 3 is available for Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
