Crow's Perch: description

The map above shows the territory surrounding the Crow's Perch, a medium-sized castle visited in order to meet with the Bloody Baron who lives inside.

On the map, you will find the perch itself and other important locations, sign posts and various optional places that Geralt can visit. Similarly to the Inn by the Crossroads, you shouldn't visit some places too early as threats that await there can be too much for the main protagonist.

A castle on the rock can be found here. Inside, a strong wyvern (14 experience level) is constantly flying - you can try to slay this monster or try to avoid contact with it while exploring the castle. At first you can't enter the castle because the bridge is closed. You must jump to the water, dive near the castle and find an underwater tunnel leading to a room with the ladder. The most important thing to be found in the castle is a diagram related to Griffin School Gear quest. Additionally, near the rock on the water there is a Place of Power.

Crow's Perch: Important information

It is wise to visit the most important location of this part of game world, the Crow's perch itself, as quickly as possible. It will unlock access to a craftsman, new merchants and people playing cards. Additionally, by completing the quests for baron you can easily gain experience that is very precious at the beginning of the game.

Don't go to the North of this territory at the beginning. Strong monsters reside there and they can easily kill you.

If due to decisions you made during main quests the baron have killed himself, the Perch will be controlled by baron's men. When you revisit the castle after that, you will see as some of them bully helpless peasants - you can ignore it or help the civilians (a battle to win).
