No Quest Marker for Certain Witcher Contracts - Close-Up Shot of a Person Writing on a Contract

Trying to do the "Jenny o' the Woods" contract but the very first step is to talk to the ealdorman of Midcopse. Yet there is no quest tracker. I even went to the spot where he is supposed to be (from walkthroughs) and he doesn't even exist. Bug? I'm level 11.

Same thing for the contract "The Merry Widow." Ugh. Other contracts work, except these.

Edit: also "Mysterious Tracks." Yeah, definitely a bug. I sent a report. Let's hope I get a reply.



Best Answer

Been looking around internet for answer and the most conclusive thing I have heard is that it is the games way of making you explore, sounds dumb. I literally found Bolko. Found out what he looked like from researching this bs and it said 'Old Man' as the character. Talking to this character did nothing. The only thing that might be attributing to this is the fact that I remember starting this quest and talking to Bolko and then instead of talking to the witnesses around midcopse, I started another quest because I wasnt a high enough a level at the time thinking 'O it'll just start me where I left off when I am the appropriate level'. Wrong. Def a bug. Can imagine this will happen on other levels. Sorta makes me want to sell the game.

Are there any missable Witcher contracts?

The contracts do not expire. For that achievement I would recommend the Doppler contract, and the Foglet, or something else easy. Don't try to get this achievement with wraiths.

Do Witcher contracts ever expire?

Luckily, monster contracts never expire similar to side quests, and as such, it is a good idea to avoid completing them when the player is very under-leveled because it will take much more time to defeat the enemy and, in some cases, it will be almost impossible.

Do Witcher contracts Respawn?

No they do not. There are a finite number of them in the game. Saving them won't get you anything better. They essentially work the same way that quests do: offering the most xp for doing them as close to the recommended levels as possible.

Is Geralt the professional trophy missable?

*Note* Completion of this contract will unlock the Fearless Vampire Slayer trophy. *Note* Completion of this contract will unlock The Doppler Effect trophy. This contract is also missable if you let the Doppler get away while chasing him on foot, so make a manual save before hand.
