Once its health is reduced to around 50% it’ll vanish. Venture inside the house to find a small wooden chest in the main room, then turn north-west to find a larger chest against the wall. From here continue south, pass over another, smaller road, and head downhill to find another Ghoul Nest (this is south-east of the Crossroads signpost).

North-east of here, near where the shield-bearer and his buddies where, you’ll find a somewhat sturdier, more lavish tent, outside of which are some crates, a barrel, and another package.

The Old Woman goes off on a mighty tirade. Before you get cute, these guards will always be leveled so as to be significantly stronger than Geralt. Also note that in the Blood and Wine expansion you’ll be able to put those mutagens to use, so always harvest them from defeated foes and never sell them - they weigh nothing, sell for little, and might come in handy much, much later on. The situation isn’t much better when you reach the bridge, which is likely crawling with Drowners. From the Old Woman’s house follow the road running along the river to the north-west until you find a bridge leading north-east across the river.

When only the shield-bearer remains, you’ll have to find a way to get around his shield.
