The Witcher 3 has what seems like an endless number of side quests, many of which are more involved and longer than some of the main story quests. A lot of these side quests help Geralt get to know important characters or take him to interesting parts of the world.

Some of the secondary quests are so fun or interesting that they could stand on their own as a small game. From murder mystery quests to combat-heavy arena fights, the world within The Witcher 3 will take the player to every end of the gaming spectrum. Here are some of the best quests that could stand alone as their own self-contained game.

10 In Wolf's Clothing

Starting things off is a super cool quest that involves a religious order, a beautiful garden, the banishment of a powerful sorceress, werewolves, betrayal, and necromancy.

In Skellige, there's a series of quests that take Geralt and the sorceress Yennefer into Freya's Garden, where they'll encounter a large werewolf traumatizing the area and its resident Freya worshipers. Yennefer will use necromancy to gain some information from a corpse while Geralt fights off the cursed werewolf. It's a great quest with a tragic ending that could be expanded into a full-blown game.

9 Redanian's Most Wanted

Philippa Eilhart is one of the most fascinating characters in the Witcher lore. As a sorceress of immense power, she's found herself on the bad side of the mad King Radovid of Redania. Radovid will task Geralt with invading her hideout and ultimately, Philippa herself.

The hideout is as fascinating as Philippa and home to a few difficult monsters. After finding the crystal inside, Geralt is faced with a few choices of what to do next. If given to Triss or Yennefer, they'll reveal that they're attempting to bring back the Lodge of Sorceresses.

8 In the Heart of the Woods

Leshens are terrifying creatures. They're huge ancient relicts that patrol the woods and kill any who cross their territory. A local village will be suffering the effects of a "marked one" — someone marked by a leshen.

In order to help out the village, Geralt can choose between the methods set forth by the local druids, or he can take a more aggressive approach by siding with the villagers. The quest involves a heated battle between warring tribes, a string of murders, battling an ancient monster, and magic. What else does a game need?

7 The Last Wish

As one of the hardest bosses in the game, the Djinn is a difficult foe that many struggle with. It's recommended by guides and pro players to turn down the enemy scaling for this one, meaning it would be perfect as a final boss for its own game.

This quest also involves Yennefer and Geralt investigating a mysterious disappearance and a ton of story-heavy plot revolving around their relationship. Capped off with a beautiful view over Skellige's mountains, this quest is a great one that will stick with you long after you finish the Witcher 3.

6 Land of a Thousand Fables

There's a strange realm that Geralt can visit in the Blood and Wine DLC expansion. This is the Land of a Thousand Fables, and it's unsettling and kind of creepy. It's a world contained within a book by the same name and features a couple dozen classical fairytale creatures and landmarks, like Thumbelina, Goldilocks, and the Yellow Brick Road. It's a strange, happy, colorful world, especially in contrast with the normal dark, gritty, monster-infested world of the Witcher 3.

Two quests take place here, with "Duck, Duck, Goosed!" being the secondary quest. This quest only requires a few small tasks, but the overall world of the realm would make a great setting for a game.

5 A Towerful of Mice

Some Witcher quests feature elements of game genres that actually already exist, which proves that some of them could stand on their own. A great example of this is all of the quests surrounding Fyke Isle, but specifically the Towerful of Mice quest.

This quest is given to Geralt by Keira Metz, tasking him to explore a haunted tower for a mage's research. It's haunting, creepy, full of ghosts and spectres, and really stands out in the overall game. Throughout it, Geralt will learn the bloody history of Fyke Isle and battle some truly spooky monsters.

4 Coronation

Whether you decide to side with Cerys and Craite or her brother, Hjalmar, the Skellige Isles will become a changed place after Geralt arrives. After the death of Bran Tuirseach, the current ruler of Skellige, Geralt will have to help either Cerys or Hjalmar, ultimately deciding which one of them ascends to the throne (if neither are chosen, Svanridge wins).

Deciding the fate of a region's new ruler, changing the fate of history, and accompanying the candidates on some truly interesting and captivating quests are all elements of a great potential game.

3 Matter of Life and Death/Now or Never

It's a classic story: mages are being persecuted by the powers-that-be and trying to live in hiding in a large city's underbelly. This is the story of Triss Merigold, who is attempting to evade capture by witch hunters while trying to help the other mages of Novigrad escape the city.

Featuring an escape plot and a battle in the sewers, this quest is an in-depth one with wide-reaching ramifications on the game's overall story. It could absolutely stand on its own as a self-contained title if it were expanded.

2 Reason of State

As mentioned earlier, King Radovid is a bit of a tyrant. After completing a certain sequence of quests, Geralt can unlock "Reason of State." How you complete this quest can actually determine the game's ending.

With an assassination plot, a struggle for power, and the ultimate decision of peace or war with Nilfgaard, the invading kingdom, this quest has a bit of everything. We also already know that this type of story can stand as its own game, with many games (including Witcher: Assassination of Kings) revolving around these exact elements.

1 Carnal Sins

Morgues, murders, wealthy estates, vampires, mysterious intrigue, a brutal serial killer, and a fierce battle. What else do you need? This quest truly has it all. In Novigrad, Geralt will be tasked with finding the culprit behind a series of grisly murders, including an attempted killing of Dandelion's good friend Priscilla.

This murder mystery has enough drama and intrigue to stand on its own as a great game. It could even be expanded to see a protagonist solve other mysterious murders and crimes in the streets and sewers of Novigrad — a city full of crime and villainy.
