The Witcher 3 quests have always been praised for how detailed they are. Each quest is handcrafted to deliver a phenomenal experience for players. From tiny conflicts between elves and humans to a growing war between two great empires, each small mission fits perfectly into the wide fantasy world that Andrzej Sapkowski has created.
As the Next-Gen update brings new quests to the table, here's how players can complete the In the Shadow of Eternal Fire questline in The Witcher 3:
- You will have to go to the Devil's Pit in Velen.
- You will encounter a Priest of the Eternal Fire with a broken cart. Reach out and interact with him.
- The priest will ask Geralt to take care of the monster and the bandits in the pit. To deal with the plague, Geralt must kill the bandits and find the source of the pestilence.
- You can enter the mine through the entrance at the bottom of the pit and explore until you find a letter from Raynald on the door.
- After opening the gate, you can go further down, where a mysterious voice will guide you through the mines.
- Once there, Reynald will appear, but possessed. The dialogue exchange will lead to a fight with the goal of defeating Reynald.
- After defeating the possessed Raynald, the Red Miasmal will come out of his body. Geralt will have to get ahead of Mort.
- Once the Red Miasmal has been defeated, players will have a conversation with Raynald, after which they will be given the choice to grant his final wish.
- Players can either help Raynald and have the Priest go down into the pit to talk, or not help him and bury him to find peace.
- If the Priest arrives, Raynald and the former will have a conversation where players will have to carefully choose dialogue options to choose a side.

"In The Eternal Fires Shadow" is a masterfully crafted questline created for The Witcher 3's Next-Gen update. Players will have to mentally choose the right options to see both sides. The quest shows both views on the world of The Witcher, where one side believes in doing good under the influence of religion, and the other despises the system itself.
However, the main problem of the quest's plot lies in the long-standing problem of the plague, which was further exacerbated by the bandits.
