Walkthrough for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's 'Contract: Phantom of the Trade Route' quest. Learn how to find the monster, defeat it, and claim your reward.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Accept the contract from the notice board in the town of Lindenvale in Velen.
  2. 2
    Travel to the marked location on the map, which is a cave near the Trade Route.
  3. 3
    Investigate the area around the cave entrance. Use your Witcher Senses to find clues such as tracks and signs of a struggle.
  4. 4
    Enter the cave and proceed deeper, continuing to follow the clues with your Witcher Senses.
  5. 5
    You will eventually encounter the monster responsible for the disappearances: a Foglet.
  6. 6
    Prepare for the fight. Foglets are vulnerable to Dimeritium Bombs and Igni. Using oils effective against specters will also be beneficial.
  7. 7
    Engage the Foglet in combat. Use dodges and Quen to protect yourself, and strike when opportunities arise.
  8. 8
    After defeating the Foglet, loot its body for any items.
  9. 9
    Exit the cave and return to the contract giver in Lindenvale to report your success.
Tips
  • Foglets are often found in foggy or swampy areas.
  • Use Igni to set the Foglet on fire, which can interrupt its attacks and deal damage over time.
  • Dimeritium Bombs can temporarily disable magical abilities, which is useful against spell-casting monsters.
  • Consider using Specter Oil on your silver sword for increased damage.
Upon completion, you will receive gold, experience points, and potentially a unique item or diagram depending on the contract's specifics.
