📋 About This Mod

"A Witcher Can Hide Another" is a new questline story about Geralt falling into a trap and to save him you, as a new character, need to follow the trail of the elves to a new mountain location...

FULLY voiced. New PLAYABLE character. New gameplay mechanics. Several outcomes. Standalone and merge-free DLC.

The WINNER of the REDKit Contest!

The quest starts in Novigrad - you will receive an objective to check noticeboard after installing the game.

This quest uses the Vilmerium Hospital room, so it's required to have "A Poet Under Pressure" (Novigrad: Act 1) quest completed.

Some gameplay events has impact on the questline plot (such as: have you helped Iorveth in tw2?, or have you helped Vernossiel in tw3?).

Suggested level for comfortable walkthrough: 40+

New Game+ technically is supported and tested, but some enemies may be too weak even with "level upscaling" enabled.
