Blood Simple is a Main Quest from the Blood and Wine DLC in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. Main Quests are the main storyline of the game that can have a major effect towards the endings. Some of these quests may have dialogue choices that will alter the ending of the game.
Blood Simple is a quest that only becomes available following a set of objectives from the previous quest in the quest line, The Night of Long Fangs. This questline is only available with the Blood and Wine DLC
Geralt had waded through the city's vampire-infested streets to reach Lady Orianna's estate. The vampiress, however, was hardly eager to help the witcher find the Unseen Elder. She was on her way out, about to leave Beauclair for the orphanage she maintained outside the city walls. Anxious about what she might find there, she had neither the time nor the desire nor the patience to listen to the witcher's arguments. Geralt had no choice but to accompany Orianna, hoping to convince her along the way.

Walkthrough for The Witcher 3 Blood Simple
Immediately after the cutscene that concludes the quest, The Night of Long Fangs, this quest begins at the Orphanage and tasks you to Search the orphanage with your Witcher Senses. Observe the body on the floor and the body resting on the wall then enter the next rooms to loot the area before exiting the building. There will be another body just in front of the entrance and a set of tracks just beyond it. Another body slumped on the tree will be highlighted for you to observe. Follow the tracks leading down to observe more bodies that are highlighted in red. Another one will be just before the arch entrance. At the foot of the staircase, the ledge will have something to observe which will lead to a scene that Geralt will notice is not blood. This will lead you to investigate and track the scent.
This will lead you outside of the orphanage walls and the quest will update to following the tracks and then the wagon tracks using your Witcher Senses. You will have the optional objective to read the entry about alpha garkains in the Bestiary. This will earn you an additional 100 EXP. Take your mount and follow thr track down the path north. Each point location will also be encircled on your minimap. The tracks will eventually lead you to the final destination of your cart. Examine the cart. There will be a body on top of it. Then you can find the garkain's hideout using your Witcher Senses.
You should be looking north to where the bridge is. Once you approach the bridge, a cutscene will begin and you can prepare for combat. You now have to kill the Alpha garkain. This creature has large arms with a big reach, but can also leap and land causing damage if you are nearby. Once you manage to slip a hit, continue being aggressive against it since it will stagger, giving you a longer opportunity to attack. Once the garkain is cleared, return to Orianna. Make sure to collect the Letter from Orianna from the body before you go.
Take Roach and make your way back to the orphanage. She will be in the room with the boy where you left her. As you open the door, a cutscene will begin.
Your quest will update and you will need to tell the birds you are ready to meet Regis. Track the quest and it'll send you to this location. This interaction will be played out in a cutscene. You will have the option to continue by choosing to see Regis or choose to wait here and make your way yourself. If you choose to see Regis now, the next cutscene will take you to him to progress in the story. This will complete the quest.
Blood Simple Journals
Orianna's concerns had been completely justified. One of the vampires Dettlaff had summoned - a garkain, Geralt concluded, based on the clues he found - had perpetrated a bloody massacre. Enraged by what she found, Orianna pledged to help the witcher find the Unseen Elder - on one condition. Geralt had first to bring her the head of her wards' murderer. If I know Geralt, however, he would have hunted the bastard down without the promise of any reward.
Geralt had slain the garkain, but when he rejoined Orianna, he learned the old vampiress was, in fact, not much better than the brute she had asked the witcher to hunt down and kill. Though his hand itched to grab the hilt of his silver sword once more and tend to Orianna as he had tended to the garkain, he was well aware saving the city's inhabitants was far more important at the time. Nonetheless, I suspect the witcher and the vampiress will meet again one day...
As the witcher met once more with Regis, two possible paths lay before him. He now had to choose between meeting with the Unseen Elder or finding Syanna.
