A guided walkthrough of the Magic Lamp side quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

This side quest rewards gamers with 100-player EXP and has a minimum recommended level of 6 for Geralt.

The quest is located in The Mire, Velen. Note that this quest is entirely optional.

• Kiera will ask Geralt to help her retrieve the magic lamp when they exit out of the elf’s hideout when they enter a room.
• After agreeing to help her, use your witcher sense to find an inscription on the doors.
• Kiera will help you translate the Elder Speech to reveal a riddle.
• To solve this riddle, Geralt must light four torches near each statue in the correct order.
• Firstly, light up the torch on the right of the archway. (3rd statue)
• Secondly, light up the torch located left of the archway. (2nd statue)
• Next, head to your far right to find another torch. Light it up. (4th statue)
• Finally, the last torch can be found to the far left. (1st statue)
• Lighting the statues out of order will summon two to four wraiths, and Geralt must deal with them before proceeding forward.
• Correctly lighting the torches will open up a secret passageway into a room. Enter the room and have Kiera grab the lamp.
• Backtrack and return to the exit.
• Additionally, interested players may climb up the stone ledges in the room of the shrine to find a Place of Power for Yrden, along with a Golem guarding some loot.
• Defeat the Golem is necessary to obtain two diagrams for Geralt.
• Once back at the entrance, Keira bids farewell to Geralt before sending him yet another invitation.
• If players wish to romance Kiera Mertz, they must proceed with the quest, ‘An Invitation from Kiera Metz,’ after this quest concludes.
