Description

Fighting the werewolf (Part of "Wild at Heart" Quest):
Once you enter the cave, or if you meditated/waited in the cave for nightfall, the werewolf and three weaker wolves will run in from the entrance. It's recommended to deal with the wolves separately or from a distance so the much stronger werewolf can be dealt with on its own.

The werewolf swiftly claws at you, dealing moderate damage, but his attacks are very aggressive. This is best returned with highly active and equally aggressive tactics, as he stuns you when attempting to parry or countering his hits. Thus, dodging and rolling works much better as a defensive tactic. It's also worth using fast strikes with the silver sword rather than attempting to set up heavy strikes or long chains of actions. Once the werewolf's health bar reaches half, with a howl he starts regenerating health. Take advantage of the howl as it leaves him vulnerable to a few heavy attacks. This is where you should make use of signs, potions, and bombs as switching to defensive tactics would only allow the werewolf to regain health. If you're having trouble and he's regenerating faster than you deal damage, one solid tactic is to drink a Tawny Owl, and then Axii him after a series of 3-4 fast attacks, then repeat.

A cutscene will interrupt the fight once the werewolf's health is low enough and Margrit runs in. No matter what you pick, you learn she knew Niellen was a werewolf for a long time and secretly loved him regardless. She then decided to show her sister what Niellen was, thinking Hanna would be disgusted and leave him. However, this plan backfired and Niellen slaughtered his own wife in a blind bloodlust. Enraged at this, Niellen threatens to kill Margrit for what she's done. You're then given a timed reaction to tell Margrit to leave so you can finish Niellen off, or let Niellen have his revenge.

If you allow Niellen to enact his revenge, the werewolf will slaughter Margrit without mercy, after which he returns to Geralt to ask for death and Geralt will oblige, killing Niellen without resistance. If you told Margrit to run, you'll need to finish killing Niellen. Whichever course is taken, the quest completes, earning 50 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level. You can also loot Niellen's body for his key which will open the locked chest in the isolated shack. Note: if you let Niellen have his revenge, he'll only have the key on his body. If you killed him by protecting Margrit, the key will be there along with some werewolf ingredients. Furthermore, if Margrit survived, you'll find her crying in the isolated shack.
