Tyrion Lannister from the show Game of Thrones and the book Song of Ice and Fire appears in the Witcher 3 if you know where to look for him!
Among tons of Easter eggs and references available in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, this one about Tyrion Lannister’s body found in a “sky cell” is one of the most curious and hard-to-find ones.
As with all other references, this one is only noticeable if you are a fan of the Song of Ice and Fire books or have seen the TV Show Game of Thrones.
The Easter egg is actually a Place of Interest in the Skellige game zone. It’s a body that looks very much like Tyrion’s from the TV Show. You can find it inside what looks like an imitation of the sky cells from George R. R. Martin’s story.
To find it you need to travel to one of the Skellige Islands located between the islands of Ard Skellig and Spikeroog. This small piece of land is directly to the west from the Kaer Trolde harbor.
In the southern part of the small isle, you will find the Kaer Almhult Fortress. The marker on the image below shows exactly where the body is.
The entrance to the Fortress is through a narrow path and an old wooden bridge.
There are a number of unfriendly NPCs – Pirates around and inside the Fortress’ ruins. Be prepared for a fight. Once the exterior and interior of the fortress are clear of enemies, you can continue further. Well, you could do that earlier too, but it’s not a good idea to have so many enemies chasing you while you try to enjoy an Easter egg in the game.
When you enter, turn to the right and go to the ruined tower in the corner.
Jump down and turn around to find the entrance to the underground corridor.
In the last room on the right side you will find the Pirate Leader. Defeat him.
Enter that last room to the right where the NPC came from and loot the contents of the pouch that’s sitting on the wooden bench to your right.
Now that you have the Prison key, head out back to the corridor. The first door to your left will be locked. Click on it to unlock it with the key you just obtained.
In the middle of the prison cell you will find a body.
Examine it. Geralt will kneel next to it and mumble a few words that further strengthen the fact that this is a direct reference to Tyrion Lannister and his inability to “fly” and save himself from this imprisonment.
His exact words: “Sky cells – nice idea for a prison without bars. Shame he didn’t know how to fly.”
Interestingly enough, there is an alternative way to get to this Sky cell, without getting the key. If you stand at the edge of the stone wall above the cell, as shown in the image below (note where I am on the mini map), you can jump down directly into the Sky cell with the body.
It’s not easy to find the proper spot to jump down, or rather fall down, but if you want some extra challenge, give it a try.
