Shell reveal shes returned to the area as her husband has passed away, but her family estate is infested with monsters.

Agree to help and shell give you a key to use to unlock a box at the manor as your reward.

What he does find are traps around the area and someone hiding in the barn, activating the quest Ghosts of the Past.

You can examine this, but the reward itself is the area below it, which will uncover the lockbox.

If you talked to Dolores first, you can then unlock it here for 50 and 100 florens (otherwise youll need to talk to her afterwards to get the key).

Theres also a few other things you can examine in the other buildings but arent needed, which includes a painting of Dolores and her twin brother Humbert, as well as her diary.

However, if you want to earn some more and learn what happened to her brother, head outside to the back of the barn area to find a hidden stairway that leads down into a cellar.

Note that if you didnt kill all the wraiths, some will spawn here as well.

Make your way to the furthest room in the cellar to find a weak wall and destroy it, then enter to find a skeleton you can examine and some paper nearby.

This will earn you 25 for completing the quest, as well as 80 and 50 for finding and revealing what happened to Humbert.

If you didnt find and examine the skeleton though, youll only earn 25.

Also note that if you found the manor first, this is when Dolores will give you the lockbox key.

In return she gave him a precious token - the key to the chest in which she claimed to keep her life savings.

Geralt couldnt refuse to help an elderly person in need, especially not one so eager to reward him handsomely for it, and so decided to do as she asked.

All that was left for him to do was to tell the woman that her former home was now safe.

When Dolores heard the news she was beside herself with joy, as the place was closely tied to her fondest childhood memories - to the days when she was young and beautiful and lived there with her brother and parents.

It seemed this was no macabre bricklaying accident but a grisly murder - the man was Humbert, Dolores brother, and his murderer Dolores first husband, Roderick.

He returned to Dolores and told her of this, and, though learning the truth froze the old womans blood in her veins and undoubtedly took years off the already short time remaining to her, she was grateful to Geralt for the information.
