Once the four ghouls are defeated, set fire to the bodies in the pit. Directly north of the first pit, over the hill and down into the thicket.A rotfiend and possibly a few wild dogs may block your path but once dispatched use the holy oil on the bodies in the pit and ignite them with Igni. Just southwest of the priest and his guards.


The bodies can be burned in any order you choose with each spot having a number of enemies. He then gives you holy oil to set afire at each location. He'll be rather condescending but nonetheless asks you to do him a job by setting fire to several of the dead on the battlefield for a proper rite. The guards standing nearby will initially warn off Geralt but the priest will ask you to approach. You'll also earn more from going back to speak to Niellen at the end of the quest - it's worth noting that taking Margrit's offer and agreeing to lie to Niellen has the highest XP and monetary yield out of any option, meaning that from a strictly theoretical perspective based on maximum possible gain, this is the best option.This quest is started by speaking to the priest of the Eternal Fire along the road just west of Mulbrydale. Agreeing to do so earns you 80 XP and 55 crowns. At this point, Margrit - Hanna's sister - shows up and begs you to lie to Niellen by telling him his wife is definitely dead, rather than continuing the quest, in order to spare him from sadness. What follows is a short investigation, handled through inquiring with villagers and then following the quest marker to a quick bout with some wolves.

Niellen's wife, Hanna, has mysteriously disappeared, and it's up to you to learn her whereabouts in order to put his mind at ease. After picking up the 'Wild at Heart' at one of Velen's noticeboards and heading to Blackbough to meet Niellen, you'll soon become acquainted with the matter at hand.
