The first quest was to obtain gwent cards. This is in connection with the Collect ‘Em All quest. To truely collect them all, you’ll need to interact with as many vendors. and characters as you can and purchase or challenge them to play gwent in order for you to obtain more cards.
The second quest is just a reminder that due diligence in investigating, leaving no stone unturned, pays off with either getting new items, activating quests, and getting other in-game surprises.
We hope to this helped you with completing your quest and reminded you that each game, specially Witcher 3, has its fair share of hidden surprises. Do let us know your thoughts by leaving a comment below.
