Don't want to advance the main quests yet.

11.11.2011 @ 20:58 #1

The title says it all... I want to gain a few extra Xp by killing monsters but I dont want to advance the quests, especially the one with the Striga... I want to examine the Striga's crypt but I dont want stupid Velerad to lock me in.. how can I do that? And I cannot find Raven's crypt... what should I do?? I found teo out of three wayfarer's stone and I am searching for the third...

I thought it was speaking to Velerad that got you locked in. He locks you in if you just walk up and go inside?

There's a map of Raven's Crypt on the Witcher Wiki, here: http://witcher.wikia...Raven%27s_crypt
Want to be IN a computer game? I'm making one, and I want a picture of you! See here for details.

I've made three new adventures for TW1; you can get them at corylea.com/.

I've also made a bunch of mods that fix bugs, kill annoyances or tweak gameplay; you can get those at the Witcher Nexus.

Thank you for the map, but I am still searching for the crypt... must I trigger the location by talking to Kalkstein first???

I recall having found Raven's Crypt before talking to Kalkstein. But even with a map, the cemetery swamp is disorienting, cave entrances are well camouflaged, and it seems to be harder to find when you're looking for it than when you're not.

Corylea unfortunately I tried to enter the crypty unnoticed, but when I approacehd Velerad, the quest continued automatically... I had no option to say that I can't do it at that moment!!!

I think you cannot enter the Striga's Crypt except as part of the main quest. I suspect that just approaching the door will trigger the scene with Velerad, and then you are locked in to proceeding.

Completing the Striga quest does not force you into any other Act V quests, so even if you complete it before you want to, nothing is closed off, and you aren't forced into the endgame.

Anyway, it's a dull place for monster farming or level grinding.

Graveirs and cemetaurs respawn at Kalkstein’s lab.
At the banks of this isle / hill of the Striga’s crypt you also meet at night bruxae and garcains. But I don’t remember if they respawn too after you killed their leaders, the trophy monsters Lily and Vetala :hmmm:
I can see what you see not, Visions milky then eyes rot.
When you turn they will be gone, whispering their hidden song.
Then you see what cannot be, shadows move where light should be.
