Start the contract
- Read the note on a White Orchard notice board.
- Meet Odolan in the western part of White Orchard village. You can negotiate the reward.
Investigate
- Go to the Abandoned Village south of the village.
- Use Witcher Senses and check each marked hut. Read the Yellowed Diary from your inventory.
- Examine the skeleton, follow the blood trail and inspect the well.
- Use the rope, then dive into the well and find the Ornate Bracelet in the underwater cave.
- Find another exit from the cave and return to the village.
Prepare
- Specter oil on your silver sword
- Moon Dust bombs if available
- Yrden ready as your active Sign
- A healing option
Defeat the target
- Cast Yrden and fight the noonwraith inside the circle.
- Moon Dust also prevents it from turning intangible.
- Keep attacks short and dodge out when it starts spinning attacks.
Resolution
The bracelet is tied to the wraith's past. Following the final objective at the well draws it out for the fight; defeating it lets its spirit rest.
Collect the reward
Return to Odolan to collect the agreed payment.
