1. Starting location.

Notice board with the announcement.

Starting location.

2. Go to the goose's home.

The denizens of the Land of a Thousand Fables had problems, just like you or I… Balbina the Goose, for example, had the disturbing impression someone was watching her, with the intent of causing her harm – she had thus posted a notice on the fable world’s notice board. The golden egg laying bird was lucky a witcher happened to appear in the area shortly afterwards. Since time in this strange realm flowed differently, Geralt could take on this unusual contract with a clear conscience, knowing his urgent matters in Toussaint could wait.

Go to the goose's home.

3. Use your Witcher Senses to find the goose.

While traversing the Land of a Thousand Fables, Geralt came across an abandoned little home. All around it lay plucked out goose feathers, suggesting there had been some kind of struggle, perhaps resulting in an abduction. The witcher being a witcher, he decided to investigate just what had happened.

Examine the broken feather in front of the house ...

Use your Witcher Senses to find the goose.

4. Follow the tracks.

5. Defeat Redbeard and his bandits.

Defeat Redbeard and his bandits.

6. Use your Witcher Senses to find the key to the cage.

The goose had indeed been kidnapped. The evildoer was a bandit named Redbeard, who had planned to force the poor bird to lay eggs made of precious metals for his profit. Geralt foiled this scheme through deft work with his blade – his usual method. Then he needed merely find the key to the cage and free the captured fowl.

You will find the key in Redbeard's corpse.

Use your Witcher Senses to find the key to the cage.
