If you find François at his camp, he'll be asleep and snoring no matter what time it is, so wake him up. I’m asking because I’ve heard of some other crazy, weird glitches with the PS5 version.You can start the quest by either talking to Jacquette, who you can find near the Nilfgaardian Embassy, in which case she will be calling out to Geralt and you can haggle the price with her, by finding François le Goff near the cave located Northwest from the Beauclair Palace, or lastly by strolling into the cave itself. No extra skill point, no nothing! So wtf!? Is this a glitch or does it have to do with the fact that on DM mode, Geralt doesn’t have the necessary bomb to destroy the ghoul nest? Cuz I remember being able to destroy that nest from the get go on my first play-through when I originally played on normal difficulty, back in 2015…. So I dispatched the ghouls and I get to the Place of Power, which is a Quen Place of Power specifically, Geralt kneels and the game does the little animation with light and sound and all that yadda yadda….and nothing happens. I wanted to go around loot as much as I possibly could, for orens and for food especially in DM mode, and I get to the 1st Place of Power guarded by those ghouls, ya know, east of that curved wall just passed the Cackler Bridge (I think it’s called). Anyway, I get to the battlefield north of the crossroads, basically where you start off.

So I decided to go ahead and kick it off on Death March mode, cuz I didn’t really think it was that hard the first time, plus I’m trying for the Platinum Trophy in one play-through as well.

Okay, just so you know I’ve already played and finished this game on PS4, back in 2015 when it originally came out and was pretty addicted to it at the time because it’s an amazing game, one of my favorites! Anywho, now that I’ve got a PS5, plus with the release of Season Three of Netflix’s The Witcher I decided, what the hell I’m going to get the PS5 version (since I have a PS5 Digital Console, plus all the Netflix in-game content and some other stuff my old version doesn’t have and also the fact that I haven’t played it in almost 8 years).
