Geralt finds a doppelganger who looks like Lambert in The Witcher 3‘s Witcher Wannabe quest, in which this charlatan is trying to convince a village that he’s a witcher, albeit one who struggles to take down a mere ghoul. While a quick quest, you can decide the fate of the fake witcher in Witcher Wannabe, and we’ll show you all outcomes and the best choice to make.
How to Start the Wannabe Witcher Quest in The Witcher 3
To unlock the Witcher Wannabe quest, you must first complete Contract: The Merry Widow. This contract can be found on the notice board at Lindenvale in Velen, as shown above. It’s a pretty simple quest that involves killing a grave hag.
Five days after The Merry Widow, you can head to the notice boards of Crow’s Perch, Oreton, or Downwarren to find and read the Witcher wanted! note, which starts the Witcher Wannabe quest that will take you to Lindenvale to speak with the ealdorman. You can then find the charlatan Witcher in the nearby cemetery after defeating the ghoul.
Should You Keep the Wannabe Witcher’s Secret in The Witcher 3?
|
Choice |
Outcome |
|---|---|
|
Took two witchers to kill this ghoul. He’s gotta work off his failure. |
The wannabe witcher is forced to stay at the village and give up his fake witcher con. |
|
Took two witchers to kill this ghoul. He’s not allowed to return to this village. |
The wannabe witcher gets to leave the village and start his fake witcher con again. |
|
Only one here. Let him go. |
The wannabe witcher is exiled from the village. |
|
Only one here. Take him to the village elder. |
The wannabe witcher is killed by the villagers. |
The best choice is to help the wannabe witcher and tell the villagers that it “took two witchers to kill this ghoul” then make the wannabe witcher’s punishment be “he’s gotta work off his failure” as this will force the wannabe witcher to stay as part of the village.
The wannabe witcher doesn’t deserve to die for a lie, but he did get the ealdorman’s daughter pregnant, so it’s only right that he sticks around to raise the baby with the woman he had relations with. Forcing the wannabe witcher to stay to start a family and give up his con is a far better and more just fate than letting the villagers kill him!
