Walkthrough

This page contains the walkthrough for Scavenger Hunt: Grandmaster Griffin Gear, a side quest in The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine.

You can pick up this side quest from the grandmaster smith Lafargue, who you'll meet at the start of side quest Master Master Master Master!.

The first location for the diagrams in the set is at Fort Ussar, which will be found at the Fort Ussar Ruins signpost, which is east of the Ardaiso Quarry and Flovive signposts.

Once at Fort Ussar, you'll be able to find the diagram plans and a report in a chest underneath a broken set of stairs. Read the note and it will direct you to the next location at Mont Crane.

The next location and final location is at Mont Crane which can be found by following the road path north of Fort Ussar. Head there and if you haven't cleared the area yet, you'll find that it's a Hanse Base, with lots of bandits inside.

You can get to the diagram location without clearing the Hanse Base. Kill the first set of bandits and do not go up the stairs, but instead examine a nearby illusionary wall in the north-western area. Reveal a path through this wall with the Magic lamp artifact (that Keira gave you).

Head through this new area, and down the stairs. In one of the corner rooms on a table you'll find a Power Crystal. Use your Witcher Senses and explore further to reveal a switch you can push to open a hidden doorway.

Enter the doorway, and you'll find a chest ahead with Moreau's journal note. Read the note to reveal how to get open a portal to the next area.

Use the power crystal you obtained earlier on the nearby contraption, and then use Aard sign on it to activate the portal.

Enter the portal and you'll come across a Golem. After killing the golem you can find the three remaining diagram plans in the area.

 One on a chair, one on a table, and the other on a shelf.

You can exit the area by revealing a path through another illusionary wall.
