Learn how to navigate the Kaer Morhen tutorial in The Witcher 3. Find the key, master movement, and get ready for combat and magic.

So, you've decided to dive into The Witcher 3 and want to start with the tutorial? Smart move! This little section at Kaer Morhen is your first taste of Geralt's world, and it's designed to get you comfortable with the basics before things get serious.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll kick things off in a bed chamber within the iconic Kaer Morhen. Your first task? Find the key to get out. The game will prompt you to use your Witcher Sense. This is super important – it highlights things you can interact with (red) and stuff you can loot (orange). Keep an eye on it!
  2. 2
    Activate Witcher Sense and search the room. You'll find several interactable items: some Clothes on the bed, a Box of silver jewellery on a bookshelf, a Pitcher of juice on a small table, and a Perfume bottle on another bookshelf. The crucial item, the Key, is on the table right by the door.
  3. 3
    Once you've got the key, unlock the door and head downstairs. You'll trigger a couple of conversations. During the second one, you'll get a prompt to “Run the Walls.” This is your movement tutorial.
  4. 4
    If you choose to run the walls, you'll need to climb a ladder. Then, you'll practice climbing up ledges and traversing platforms that lead down to the courtyard. Be careful here! There's a gap you need to cross using a wooden platform on the left. Try your best not to fall off – dying in the tutorial is a bit embarrassing, right?
  5. 5
    Once you reach the ground, race to the objective marker for another scene. After the chat, you'll be given a choice: go through the full basic tutorial or skip to free practice. Honestly, for your first playthrough, I really recommend sticking with the basics. It's the best way to get a feel for the game's combat and magic systems.
  6. 6
    After you're done with the training, a final scene will play, wrapping up the tutorial section.
