How to Get Ard Skellig Aketon

  • Common, Master and Magic: Buy it from the same sellers, or find it as random loot.
  • Relic: Random loot only.

Ard Skellig Aketon Map Location and Quest Guide

Killing Reverend Nathaniel Pastodi at Crippled Kate's in Novigrad rewards the Ard Skellig Aketon diagram, during the secondary quest Carnal Sins. The pin marks the quest. Geralt gets the diagram only if he chooses to kill Nathaniel.

  1. Talk to Dandelion at the Chameleon after Cabaret, then go to Vilmerius Hospital to see Priscilla.
  2. Follow Joachim von Gratz through the sewers to the morgue, killing the drowners and the water hag on the way.
  3. Find the dwarven woodcarver's body with Witcher Senses.
  4. Investigate the alley where Priscilla was attacked and the woodcarver's yard and workshop, and talk to Eustace the corpse collector.
  5. Return to the coroner and look over the body. He finds a note naming the next victim.
  6. Go to the Vegelbud Residence, chase the killer, then search Patricia's body for a note naming Sweet Nettie.
  7. Go to Sweet Nettie's room on the top floor of Crippled Kate's, where Reverend Nathaniel is about to torture her. Hear him out first, or Geralt cannot find the real killer later.
  8. Choose to kill Nathaniel to earn the Ard Skellig Aketon diagram.
