The Ghosts of the Past quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is very special for several reasons: it brings back a major character from The Witcher 2 and it’s missable. Below I will tell you everything you need to know about this mission: how not to lose it, where to find it and its possible endings.
Ghosts of the Past from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Letho de Guleta he’s a witch and one of the possible villains of The Witcher 2. And I say “possible” because it’s all a matter of perspective when it comes to this character. If the conditions are met, you can see him again in the mission Ghosts of the past de The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
How not to lose the mission ahead of time? Your actions in The Witcher 2 will determine if you can play this quest in The Witcher 3.
- And you matter your game from The Witcher 2 and killed Letho, you will lose access to the Ghosts of the Past quest.
- And simulates tu partida from The Witcher 2 and you answer “I killed Letho, so that alliance is dead.” during the interrogation of Morvran Voorhis in Vizima (after White Orchard), you will lose access to the Ghosts of the Past quest.
- Ergo, if you didn’t kill Letho in The Witcher 2, either in your game or during interrogation, you’ll be able to find this quest early in your game.
The mission Ghosts of the past requires Level 6 and is located in Reardon Manor. However, there is a problem: if you go too early (especially at night) you can find a Level 20 Leshy or Leshen that will tear you in two.
What you should do is go to the town Valdetilo and look for a woman whose name is Dolores. You will recognize her because she is crying uncontrollably by the tavern. She entrusts you with the mission “The Fall of Reardon’s House”: kill the monsters that have invaded her mansion. If you come from seeing the Leshen, like he did to me, you’ll think about waiting until level 20.
Once you have the mission “The Fall of Reardon’s House”, head back to the reardon mansion (if possible by day). The Leshen will have disappeared and a new mission will jump: “Ghosts of the Past”, which invites you to investigate the barn. Before doing so, he loots the chest that Dolores promised you to advance in the first mission. Then do your research.
Once you enter the barn, the “Ghosts of the Past” quest is updated. Be careful with the traps. There are two ropes on the ground and three crossbows on the right. Use Warlock Vision and disable them. Then look for a stepladder. Skip a cinematic and you will see Letho.
You can see the rest of the mission in the video. Here are the answers you can give and their consequences:
- When Letho tells you “I have to get rid of them. You come?“you must answer”of course i will help you” to continue along with Letho.
- After the fight, Letho asks for your help to get revenge. You must answer “I would love to see it” to continue the mission.
After a reckoning, you reach your final destination: Letho asks you to no interfieras under any concept. Whatever happens.
- Things happen and you can intervene (“presumed dead“) or do not intervene (“I don’t want trouble“). The only thing that changes is the final sequence.
- The last decision is taken later: you can invite him to Kaer Morhen (“You could go to Kaer Morhen“) or tell him to look for life (“You’ll find a place to hide“). If you choose the first one, it will be waiting for you when you go.
