Poisonous foes, a father's last wish, and family feuds — oh my! This guide will walk you through the Witcher 3 quest "Father Knows Worst."
Wine, betrayal, sabotage, and family squabble: sounds like a typical day in the region of Toussaint.
This region of the Witcher 3 is unlocked with the Blood & Wine DLC expansion, and while you're there, you can help out a few of the residents with different matters, including during this quest, titled Father Knows Worst.
During this quest, you'll have to fight some tough poisonous enemies, help solve the mystery of a father's last wish for his feuding sons, and ultimately decide how to end that feud — with words or with swords.
Here's everything you need to know to complete the contract quest Father Knows Worst.
How To Activate
As with most witcher contracts, you can activate this quest in a couple of ways. The first is to find the notice titled "Armed Escort Wanted!" looking for help on the noticeboard in Beauclair. The other is to stumble upon the cave where the quest takes place, called the Albertus Grotto.
Once you approach the cave, two men will come running out of it screaming for help. They'll tell you that the cave is filled with monsters, and their brother didn't make it out as they did. You can ask them some questions for more info, but they won't be much help. They don't really give you a good reason for being in the caves, and they fail to accurately describe the monsters they found inside.
You can haggle for a better price for your services, as per usual with a contract quest. Next, you'll have to enter the cave.
Into The Cave
Head into the cave and venture southward until you get to a somewhat roomier chamber. Don't forget that a Cat potion can help you see better inside caves. Get out your silver sword and get ready to fight, because there are indeed monsters in here.
Geralt will have to face off against Kikimores, which are like Endrega but a bit tougher. They can inflict poison damage that increases your toxicity level, making potions and decoctions a bit difficult to use. A Golden Oriole potion can be helpful here, as it helps you resist poison.
Igni and Quen are both good options here, as well. After fighting these insectoids, it'll be time to move on. Head through the corridors and keep your eyes peeled for a breakable wall. Head through here before looking for the missing brother. You'll come upon a fork in the road. Head south at the fork and you'll stumble upon some more Kikimores. After defeating them, you can continue on to find a Place of Power.
Hugo
You can head back north and use your Witcher Senses to find the body of a woman. You'll also find the note "Letter to Martina Crisca," which explains exactly what's going on here. It seems Hugo and his brothers were equal heirs to their father's business, but the three ddin't really get along. As a result, the father broke the still into three parts and hid them, seemingly as an attempt to make the feuding siblings get along and cooperate to find it.
From there, you can hunt for the missing part or Hugo. If you're looking to prove Honor for the quest "There Can Only Be One," you'll want to find Hugo first.
Keep examining the corridors with your Witcher Senses until you find a discarded sword and a blood trail. Follow this trail to Hugo, who will give you the same story that the letter said, but in his own words. Apparently, the other brothers decided that the profits would be better split two ways and attempted to remove Hugo from the equation.
If you've already found the missing piece, you can return it to Hugo for 150 experience points and 100 Crowns. If you didn't, however, you can make a choice between finding it now or leaving it behind and escorting Hugo out of the cave.
Find The Missing Part
There is a hot spring in the cave, and the missing part is at the bottom of it. The spring is so hot, in fact, that it'll harm Geralt when he enters it. Using Quen will protect you, but only for a limited time, so you'll have to try and be fast.
Should you decide not to dive for the missing part yourself, the other brothers will somehow find it when you have returned to the cave entrance. However, given the fact that you receive some experience points and money for returning the piece, it's advised that you take the dive.
Decisions
Once you leave the cave, Lucien and Auguste, the other brothers, will be waiting for you, apparently with some more hired help. It seems they decided to make sure they finished Hugo off. Hugo will ask you for protection, and you'll have to make a choice.
If you decide to fight, you'll have to face off against a handful of level-36 hunters and Hugo's brothers, though they cannot be killed and will simply be stunned by your blows. Hugo will thank you for your service and you'll receive 150 experience points.
However, if you decide to spare the brothers and their thugs, you can make the three siblings settle things with words instead. The brothers will make peace with one another, you'll get a Wisdom credit toward the "There Can Only Be One" quest, and you'll receive both the 150 experience points and an additional 300 or more Crowns.
Later
If you decide to settle things with words instead of violence (clearly the better of the two options, all things considered), you will be able to find the three brothers later. All three will head to The Clever Clogs, a tavern near Lebioda's Gate in Beauclair.
They will have clearly buried the hatchet and their business will be apparently thriving. Hugo will now be unlocked as a merchant, and, interestingly, will buy some items on you that many other merchants won't, including crossbow bolts and monster materials.
