Loc Muinne Lore

Learn about the lore of Loc Muinne in The Witcher 2. Take on the Gargoyle Contract and find the Forgotten Vran Sword.

Loc Muinne is a critical location in Chapter 3, serving as the setting for major political events and the conclusion of several questlines. Players will encounter new monster contracts, uncover hidden secrets, and have opportunities to acquire significant wealth and powerful gear. The city's intricate design and various factions provide a rich environment for exploration and decision-making, influencing the game's ultimate outcome.

Key elements and activities in Loc Muinne include:

• Story Progression: After the siege of Vergen, the story continues in Loc Muinne.
• Monster Contract #4 – Gargoyle Contract: Obtain this from the Notice Board near the tavern. Learn about Gargoyles from Bras of Ban Ard or by purchasing "Gargoyles, Gutters, Splutters – Maintenance & Repairs" for 126 Orens from Felicia Cori. Locate and deactivate three Magic Seals around Loc Muinne.
• Side Quest – "The secrets of Loc Muinne": This sidequest in Act III offers absurd amounts of money.
• "From a Bygone Era" Quest: An item found in Loc Muinne activates this quest, allowing players to respec their stats in the sewers. This can be used to reallocate points for specific achievements.
• Forgotten Vran Sword: This powerful steel sword can be found in the tower where "The Secret of Loc Muinne" takes place on Iorveth's path (or in Dethmold's safe on Roche's path).
• Vran Armor: This armor is a prize for finishing the "Mystic River" questline, making the final boss fight less challenging.
• Achievement – "The Butcher of Blaviken": Kill 500 enemies. This is typically achieved during Act II but can be completed anywhere.
• Achievement – "Journeyman": Reach Character Level 10. This is unmissable and usually achieved in Act I.
