The Witcher 3sets Geralt up as a deadly fighter that few can hold a candle to. While this makes for a good video game, it is easy to forget just how bad having so many bandits is. In the Skellige side quest Taken as a Lass, you can help reunite a family torn apart by a raid.

You will receive a quest marker leading you to the Temple of Freya. You will find Kurisuinside, talking to a priestess.Geralt will tell her about her brother, bringing the quest to an end.
How To Find Kurisu’s Location First
