Background
You’ll receive this quest from Declan Leuvaarden at the country inn (#1).
Walkthrough
Leuvaarden will tell you that his friend attempted to enter Vizima through a cave next to its walls (#2), and he’ll offer you 200 orens to find out what happened to him.
Inside the cave you’ll encounter a handful of echinops, including a sated echinops. Regular echinops aren’t all that tough, but for some reason Geralt won’t close in on them like he does with other monsters, and so you’ll have to move him next to the echinops on your own, and then move him back every time his attacks take him out of range (the WASD keys are good for this, even if you’re in point-and-click mode). If you just click on the echinops, then Geralt will just stand there and get pelted to death.
Note: Echinops do poison damage, so picking up some Poison Resistance first is a good idea.
When you kill the sated echinops, you’ll find
Human Remains on its corpse. That’s all you’ll find of Leuvaarden’s friend. When you bring the sad tidings to Leuvaarden, he’ll demand that you bury his friend in the basement of the Reverend’s chapel (#3). You’ll have to ask permission from the Reverend for this (otherwise the door to the chapel will remain locked), but he’ll give it, provided that you’ve completed the Eternal Fire Shrine portion of the quest
Of Monsters and Men.
Inside the chapel basement you’ll find a sarcophagus. Clicking on the sarcophagus will allow to inter the remains inside, but when you do the King of the Wild Hunt (who is basically Death in the world of The Witcher) will appear and talk to you. If you respond “There is no destiny,” “No,” and then repeat the phrase given to you, the King will leave peaceably. Otherwise you’ll have to battle the specter of Leo. Leo isn’t all that tough, you’ll get around 100 experience points for killing him, and he’ll drop a
Red Meteorite when he dies, so it’s best to let him appear.
When you return to Leuvaarden, he’ll reward you with 200 orens. If Leuvaarden is no longer at the inn, then you’ll have to wait until Chapter II to collect the reward.
