The chest and the ghost won’t be there when your first get to the overlooking tower, you need to talk to the woman first and then the chest and ghost appear. So get out of cave after she gives you the gift and there will now be a ghost and a chest by the little wooden overlook tower, a guarded treasure. Turns out a guarded treasure appears on top of the hill by the wooden overlooking tower after you talk to her, just on top of the hill where the cave is. I followed it to the cave and she gave me the gift but just as she left and as I was exiting the cave I heard a monstrous sound and I was curious what it was so I reloaded and tried refusing her gift and same happened so I went to explore surrounding area after she disappears. When I originally talked to the soldier I refused to help him find the woman and he attached me so I killed him and then I followed the footprint. I know, there is an equally large possibility for the devs to just forget all about this quest, too.

This is making me excited, just writing about it. The third expansion, which I’m going to unofficially call “The Wonders of Zerrikania,” after the book that you and I likely sold about 200 copies of during our Witcher 3 playthrough in that case, will be absolutely MASSIVE, I mean we’re talking about taking Geralt to a massive desert with the most brutal, evolved versions of all our favorite post-conjunction creatures, and strange, foreign political regimes to interact with and influence. Though we cannot really relate much now, I’m sure this will be related to a much more involved and immersive quest in the third expansion. They reference it so often and talk about it in such a way that makes me think, seeing as how this is their last game, the writers and developers would love to have Geralt (and us, of course) visit the strange and mysterious land. Afterall, there has been quite a bit of lore established in the vanilla Witcher 3 in books, saddles, and bestiary entries.

So, my bet is that this quest, and the said Far-Away Land is in reference to Zarrikania. However, I don’t think these people from this strange, far away land speak in a language that could even resemble something that’s supposed to be French. Hmm…the 2nd expansion will be about Toussaint, or however it’s spelled, which– I’m pretty sure– is the Witcher’s version of France, given the architecture, and the name of the place itself sounding French.
