TL;DR
- Kaer Morhen only becomes reachable after completing Act 1 in Witcher 3, since its signpost stays locked until then.
- To unlock it, talk to the stablemaster at Crow’s Perch, which opens the main quest “Ugly Baby.”
- Finishing the Ugly Baby quest leads Geralt inside the Kaer Morhen fortress and unlocks its signpost.
- Once unlocked, fast-travel there by picking Kaer Morhen in the world map’s top-right corner and selecting any signpost in that area.
- Don’t skip side quests on the way; the article notes they grant extra strength and rewards, some found only around Kaer Morhen.
How to Get to Kaer Morhen?
The game allows you to visit Kaer Morhen at the very start of the game when Geralt is enjoying a bath, but that’s only part of an introductory tutorial. After that, you are sent to the White Orchard as the main plot of the game begins. The place is not accessible before a certain point in the game, and that specific point comes when Geralt completes the plot lines in Velen, Skellige, and Novigrad. You must be patient, as reaching that point will take a while, especially when you are tempted to do side missions. It’s wise not to skip those side-quests tops and tasks as they provide you with more strength and rewards. You come across several side missions and rewards, only available in Kaer Morhen, that make you grow stronger. Although you can see the location on the Worldmap, unfortunately, you can’t get there as the Signpost is missing. That’s the reason why you can’t explore Kaer Morhen at the initial stages of the game. Follow these steps to get to Kaer Morhen in the earliest possible way:- Complete Act 1
- Talk to the stablemaster at Crow’s Perch.
- A new quest, namely “Ugly Baby,” will open up.
- Finish the main Ugly Baby quest.
- The quest will unlock lead you inside the Kaer Morhen fortress.
- The Kaer Morhen Signpost will unlock.
