We made etoile blanche from The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine

Make your way to the Captain's location, fighting off any monsters that get in your way as you go. When you arrive, you'll encounter a Fleder that needs to be dealt with first, and once the coast is clear, use Witcher senses to follow the trail east and then north until you encounter another Fleder. Take it down, get the intel from Damien, and speak to the Ravens to let Regis know you're ready.

Head back to the palace and wait for Regis to unlock the door, then head upstairs. Examine the picture at the top of the stairs to find a key and use it to open the cupboard on the other side of the room, examine the book inside, and then read the diary on the desk. Once you've read all the entries, return to the cupboard and read the book.

Beyond Hill and Dale

Follow the yellow brick road (ignore the route-finding on the minimap) as it makes its way through the curious landscape, but be careful when you reach the bridge, as there's an Archspore nearby. When you reach the marker, you'll have to face off against the Wicked Witch: ignore her to start with and fight off whichever beast she summons, and then ready your crossbow. As she flies around above you, she'll drop her protective bubble to fire off a few blasts of poison, so while her guard is down fire off a bolt to knock her off her broomstick, and then move in to deliver a few blows from your sword - Relict oil will help here. Repeat a few times until she's down, and then forge an uneasy alliance with Syanna.

Carry on along the yellow brick road, and be ready with Elementa oil to help in the upcoming fight against a group of Pixies. When you reach the Unicorn, jump on and ride to the marker, then deal with the wolves when you arrive. Speak to the Boy Who Cried Wolf to find out the location of the three beans:

There's a set of Relic gear available in this area: in a small pool just east of the base of the slope leading to the tower, there's a Will'o the Wisp - follow it to find a dead knight. The remaining two fairy tales are optional - the Three Bears results in a fight, and the Flint Girl has a ribbon that belongs to Syanna that you can either buy or play Gwent for - so visit them if you wish, and then head for the garden.

When you arrive, a couple of dozen Pixies will come pouring in which need to be dealt with before you can plant the beans. When they're down, head for the centre of the marked area and pop the beans in the ground.

We all remember what Jack found at the top of the beanstalk, and this is no exception. Apply Ogroid oil to your sword and tackle the behemoth - it's a similar fight to the one that began the story, the main difference with the enemy being that he can move below ground level, so if he disappears from view, keep rolling to avoid being hit from behind when he reappears. Run in for a few hits, roll out of range when he starts to strike, and repeat until he's down.

Once the giant is down, decide whether or not you want to grant Syanna's "last wish", then head towards the castle. (When you reach the bridge, a Will'o the Wisp will guide you through a gap in the barriers on the far left. Follow it through, head under the bridge and down the slope, and into a small cave. There's a Relic silver sword here, as well as a nod to Dark Souls - light the bonfire to collect the weapon.) Jump into the well to get back to reality.
