The Witcher 3 Act One - Velen quests

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is truly sodding enormous, and it is at this stage - entering Velen (No Man's Land) during Act One of the game - that some of you may feel an urge to cry. Don't fret too much, though, as you need not complete everything in Velen at once. You can always return here later to finish things off!

That said, there are a few things you'll need to do before scarpering off. In this walkthrough of Velen during Act One of The Witcher 3, we detail everything you can do at this point of the game and how to do it.

The Witcher 3 Act One - Velen quests

The Witcher 3: Act One starts in Vizima, but soon drops us down at a familiar looking tree you may remember from an early, stirring cinematic trailer. This one fast travel signpost is your key to the entirety of Velen, including areas like Novigrad and Oxenfurt.

There are so, so many quests in this area, and such a huge number many points of interest to uncover, that you'd be mad to go after them all right now. Much of the content in Velen is very high level, and while it's not gated, you should pay attention to CD Projekt's RED's level recommendations. Not only will they help you avoid repeat, violent deaths, they're an excellent guide to what you should be doing now, and what you should leave for later visits.
