A Towerful of Mice (The Witcher 3)

The Witcher 3 Plague Maiden

The lore in The Witcher’s side quests sometimes surpasses that of other games’ main storylines, and this is particularly apparent in A Towerful of Mice from the third entry in the series. Assigned with a mission to rid a cursed tower of its ghouls, Geralt learns of the dreadful fate that had befallen its denizens. Evidently it was once the opulent abode of Lord Vserad, and his life of excess angered the gods. A plague of mice swarmed the building, devouring everything and everyone within it. Obviously nobody’s favorite way to go, and as a result, tormented ghosts now roam the halls.

Among them is Anabelle, Lord Vserad’s daughter, who wishes to be reunited with her lover, a fisherman named Graham. Geralt is an old softie at heart, and decides to bring the two together in an effort to lift the curse once and for all. To do this, you can either take Graham to her directly – her ghastly true form as a plague maiden not deterring him from giving her one last smooch, killing him and ending her suffering – or take her remains off the island for a proper burial. Alas, option two is a definite no no, as it leads to her freely spreading death across the lands. You’d probably want a mulligan on that one.
