The Witcher 3 allows players to visit Novigrad, the largest city in the world – and gives them plenty of secondary quests to pursue there.

The Witcher 3: Novigrad secondary quests walkthrough

The Novigrad map is continuous with Velen (No Man’s Land), and includes Oxenfurt and surrounds, which can make it difficult to sort out what quests should be done when.

If you’ve completed the main story quests in Velen and Novigrad, as well as a decent number of secondary quests in Velen, you should be about level 15 when you’re ready to move on to Skellige.

Once again, not every quest you may have turned up on your adventures so far is suitable for your level range. Below we’ve listed all the quests we think you should consider doing before you move on. Use your judgment; if something seems too hard, come back to it later.

We hope to have full walkthroughs for all of these soon, but in the meantime, this makes a handy checklist. By the end of this lot, you should be about level 18 or perhaps even as high as 20, and in a grand position to tackle the challenges of Skellige. Note that this list does not include Novigrad Witcher Contracts.
