Prerequisite None
Next Quest None

Death by Fire is a Secondary Quest in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. Secondary Quests are optional Quests not required to finish the game. Some of these quests may have a bearing on certain Main Quests or may be a consequence of another Quest.

Death by Fire can be obtained by approaching a burning house west of Codgers' Quarry in Velen. Upon arrival, Geralt can choose whether or not he will save the person inside the burning hut. 

 

Men can be terribly cruel, especially to those of different races. The witcher had seen humans persecute nonhumans far too often. This time he witnessed a particularly appalling scene - a group of thugs wanting to burn a she-elf alive.

Fortunately, the witcher managed to defeat the bandits and save the elf. Unfortunately, the witcher cannot be everywhere at once and not every victim of racial persecution can count on his help.

The Witcher 3 Death by Fire Objectives

  • Defeat the bandits.
  • Clear the doorway and free the elf.
  • Talk to the survivor.

Walkthrough for The Witcher 3 Death by Fire

West of Codgers' Quarry, you will encounter a burning house. Once you arrive at the scene, you will hear a woman crying for help inside the burning house. You will then ask the bandits why no one has put out the fire yet. They will tell you to mind your own business or they will burn you along with the elf. You have two choices here:

  • You can say "There's a third option." and draw your sword.
  • You can say "This is not my concern." and be on your way.

When choosing the latter, you can still attack them after the conversation if you decide to help the woman inside the burning house. If you leave, the house will burn down and you will get nothing.

If you chose the first option, you will engage in combat with the bandits. You can either kill them first and save the woman later, or use Aard at the door and free her, when she comes out of the house, she will aid you in fighting off the bandits with her bow. Once you've eliminated all the bandits, interact with the woman and she will thank you and explain that the bandits barricaded her in her own home after she refused to tell them where the gold was hidden. She then reveals to you to check the tree stump behind her house to receive your reward for helping her.
