Kaer Gelen

Map description

Associated quest

• Scavenger Hunt: Cat School Gear Upgrade Diagrams - Part 4

Bugs

• After pulling the lever to open the main entrance, the portcullis can be seen slowly clipping through the stone arch above instead of sliding into a proper slit, a minor missing detail.
• It is possible to enter through the closed gate by galloping into it on a horse, then dismounting just as Geralt collides with it.

Notes

• Two cut content books, Fridebjorg the Bloody and Highwayman's letter, were supposed to be found at this location, and are related to an encounter with a "Blood Countess" character, who is likely the katakan at the top - evidently a female who once assumed a human form and called herself "Fridebjorg".
• One of the chests in the katakan's room was at some point meant to include Diagram: Bounty hunter's gambeson, Formula: Vitriol and Assassin's gauntlets, and the other Assassin's trousers. It's unclear if that's been changed on purpose or not, but they give random loot instead.

Trivia

• Kaer or Kêr means "city" in Breton, while Ker means "city" or "fortress" in Cornish. Caer means the same in Welsh.
• Gelen means leech in Welsh.
