Description

Missing Wife (Part of "Wild at Heart" Quest):
This quest can be picked up from several Velen notice boards, including from Mulbrydale, Midcopse, Inn at the Crossroads, and Crow's Perch. You just need to obtain one to read to then find Niellen in Blackbough.

In Blackbough you'll find him standing in front of a hut talking to his sister-in-law, Margrit. Talk to him and agree to look for his wife and the two will give you several people to talk to and a location to check out.

There are a couple people Geralt can talk to: the butcher's wife and the blacksmith. In addition, the latter's children also give Geralt a bit more information about the morning Hanna disappeared.

Now head out to the marker in the woods to find more clues about Hanna's whereabouts. Eventually Geralt finds a pack of wolves gathered around a corpse. After they're dealt with, Margrit appears and attempts to bribe Geralt to lie to Niellen, saying she doesn't want to lose him and he deserves better than this. You can either accept the bribe or keep searching. If you accept, you'll earn 80 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level and 55 Oren3, the search field disappears, and the quest can be finished by talking to Niellen back in Blackbough. However, even if you agreed to lie to Niellen, as long as you don't go back to talk to him, the clues still linger and Geralt can still investigate despite telling Margrit otherwise.

Note: Accepting Margrit's offer and then continuing the investigation despite that is the most profitable route. However, this will create and subsequently fail a mission objective to tell Niellen that Hanna is dead.

If you wish to lie, head back to Niellen who'll offer you a reward. If you accept, you'll get 50 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level and 10 Oren3, otherwise if you refuse you'll just get 30 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level. Regardless, the quest will then conclude here.

Find the werewolf's lair
If you continue to investigate, examine the dog corpse then, slightly further away, a bloody mess that must be Hanna, which makes Geralt conclude it's the work of a werewolf. There are also claw marks around that should be clearly visible with Witcher Senses. Follow the trail of marks to a scratched stone leaning against a tree. Obviously you can't climb up there, so look for a tuft of fur nearby, just around the tree, although it can be hard to spot. That when examined will allow Geralt to follow the werewolf's scent.

Follow the trail which leads to some torn clothes and eventually to an isolated shack. While optional, you can enter the shack and pick up the mysterious notes and read them to learn some additional information. There's also a locked chest that you can come back for later. Once done, exit the shack and use Witcher Senses to follow a trail of blood to the werewolf's lair entrance, hidden underneath the shack, then use Aard on the door or break it with a weapon.

Note: You'll likely notice a Bear just north of the isolated shack. There's no requirement to fight it, but it may be hard to avoid as it tends to see Geralt from afar and moves toward the shack - if not at first, then when you exit the cave or when you enter the shack to loot the locked chest after killing the werewolf.
