In Wolfs Clothing Witcher 3 Quest Walkthrough and Curse Solution
The quest In Wolf's Clothing in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt stands out as one of the most memorable secondary contracts in the Skellige Isles. Players are tasked with investigating Freya's Garden to deal with Morkvarg, a powerful pirate turned immortal werewolf cursed with perpetual starvation. Navigating this complex story requires careful exploration, understanding intricate environmental mechanisms, and choosing the right method to lift the beast's affliction.
Starting the Investigation in Freya's Garden
Geralt can initiate this contract by speaking with the priestesses in Lofoten or checking notice boards in Larvik. Upon reaching Freya's Garden, players must use Witcher Senses to track claw marks and blood trails left by the creature. Navigating the garden requires adjusting the floodgate levers located along the central canal to access the lower flooded caves.
Manipulating the canal mechanism allows access to the flooded cavern beneath the main lair, where critical keys are located. Swimming through this path reveals Morkvarg's missing padlocks and unlocks the chapter house doors. Inside the chapter house, players can discover Morkvarg's journal, which uncovers details regarding his former crew.
Uncovering Einar and the Cursed Fang
Reading the journal points Geralt toward Einar, a former crewmate residing at the docks near Larvik. Speaking with Einar exposes the true origin of the curse and reveals the existence of a enchanted Cursed Fang. Geralt must confront Einar to demand the talisman required for a peaceful resolution.
If Einar refuses to cooperate, a battle will ensue, allowing players to claim the cursed item directly from his body. Obtaining the fang provides the knowledge necessary to revert Morkvarg back into his human form. Without completing this conversation, Geralt will lack the option to lift the curse cleanly.
Lifting Morkvarg's Curse or Ending Him
Returning to Morkvarg's cave allows Geralt to engage the beast in battle once more. After defeating him, players can choose to hand over the Cursed Fang to restore his human shape. Alternatively, players can feed Morkvarg a piece of Werewolf Meat looted from his previous defeat, causing him to consume his own flesh and perish instantly.
Restoring Morkvarg to human form opens up an optional choice regarding his ultimate fate. Geralt can allow the former pirate to walk free and claim a reward in Novigrad, or strike him down immediately after the dialogue finishes. Either resolution allows players to return to Priestess Josta to claim the final contract reward.
