Mage's tower

The Mage's tower is a decaying building in the north of the swamp outside Vizima. It is said to be cursed and breed monsters. Most locals shun it, if not for the monsters that abound in its vicinity, as a place of misfortune.

Geralt has one of his "show-downs" with both Azar Javed and the Professor just outside the door to the tower. Luckily he is able to enter before the fight which gives the witcher the opportunity to prepare.

Notes

• A teleport is also present in the Mage's Tower. It allows instant travel to three other teleports in Triss' bedroom, the Elven ruins, and at Kalkstein's laboratory. Any one teleport can communicate with the other three.
• At the beginning of Chapter III, the teleporter is the only way to enter the tower. Thereafter, the door is open.
• Similar to the lumberjacks in the same area, the origins of the tower are a likely Monty Python reference - as the mage's first two attempts at building a tower sank into the swamp. Inspecting the ruins of the other towers, one of them indeed appears to have "burned down, fell over and sank into the swamp".
