Witcher Contracts, also known as Monster Hunts in The Witcher 3 are side quests that Geralt can undertake for rewards.

These monster hunts will be given out, primarily, in villages, towns, and cities. Smaller contracts will be found on notice boards outside of inns while more major contracts, also possible to find on notice boards, will be given to Geralt by NPCs.
