The Fall of the House of Reardon | The Witcher 3 Wiki

The Fall of the House of Reardon 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.

The Fall of the House of Reardon can be obtained either by collecting the notice off of the Notice Board in Lindenvale or speaking to Dolores Reardon marked with a yellow exclamation mark after her argument with another villager is done at Lindenvale in Velen. She asks for aid in clearing her family's manor of monsters. 

Continuing his tour of rural Velen, Geralt stopped by the village of Lindenvale. There he came across a grief-stricken old woman. The cause of her woe? She was homeless, a monster having made its nest in her family manor and forced her into a rental situation elsewhere that had recently proven unaffordable. When Geralt approached her, she asked him to rid her manor of this beast. In return she gave him a precious token - the key to the chest in which she claimed to keep her life savings. Geralt couldn't refuse to help an elderly person in need, especially not one so eager to reward him handsomely for it, and so decided to do as she asked.
