## Wild at Heart quest starts
The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt quest begins in Velen region after reading the Missing Wife notice from Blackbough's notice board.
## First choice: lie or investigate
After Margrit demands a lie about Hanna's death, Geralt chooses between accepting her bribe for 55 crowns or searching for Hanna.
## The werewolf's secret lair
Following claw marks and werewolf scent leads Geralt to the Isolated Shack's hidden cellar behind the structure.
## Two paths to the truth
If Geralt agrees with Margrit, he lies to Niellen about Hanna's death without seeing the werewolf. If he investigates, he discovers Niellen is the werewolf.
## Three possible endings
Niellen survives if Geralt lies to him about Hanna's death; only Margrit survives if Geralt fights the werewolf; both die if Geralt spares Niellen.
## What happens next
The peasant behind the northeast house shares gossip about survivors after Geralt returns to Blackbough.
## Money and consequences
Choosing to spare Niellen earns 10 crowns from him and 55 crowns from Margrit, but Niellen may leave the village after the werewolf's death.
## Final decision
Geralt must decide whether to lie to Niellen about Hanna's death or face the werewolf, with three possible outcomes for the quest.
## Key takeaway

Geralt must decide whether to lie to Niellen about Hanna's death or face the werewolf, with three possible outcomes: Niellen survives, only Margrit survives, or both die.
