You can get to Toussaint after completing the main quest “Poet Under Pressure” (recommended level 13), where you save Dandelion, and then receive the first Blood and Wine quest “Envoys, Wineboys” automatically, which is for level 34. To access Toussaint early, players must have progressed far enough in the main story to complete the “A Poet Under Pressure” quest, and then notice boards in Velen will gain a message to Geralt, allowing them to pick up the “Appeal to Sir Geralt of Rivia, the Bridge his Crest” notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
- What happens if you beat Blood and Wine before the main game?: The main downside to doing Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone before completing the Vanilla Main Quest and other quests is that it’ll render any remaining quests outside Toussant to the low level sub 50xp for completing a quest zone, and most aren’t even above 30xp when labeled low level.
- When should I start Blood and Wine?: Blood and Wine is available after beating The Witcher 3’s main story, and should be the absolute last thing players do in the game, as completing this Witcher 3 expansion any earlier can cause players to discover massive narrative spoilers.
- Can you get dye before Toussaint?: You should really forget about the dye thing until very much later in the game, as the only place you can get them is Touissant, which is the final DLC land with a recommended level superior to any other quest of the game.
DLC and Quests
- Should I complete Blood and Wine first?: The recommended way to experience The Witcher 3 DLC is by its release order, meaning completing Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Hearts of Stone, and Blood and Wine in that order.
- Should I finish Heart of Stone before Blood and Wine?: The recommended way to experience The Witcher 3 DLC is by its release order, meaning completing Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Hearts of Stone, and Blood and Wine in that order.
- Should I do Hearts of Stone before Isle of Mists?: Storywise, Hearts of Stone could be done before going to the Island of Mists, but it’s not necessary, as you can already be overpowered for the endgame at level 32.
Game Progression
- What level should you be at the end of Blood and Wine?: The mission log recommends either level 46 or 49, and you shouldn’t have any trouble getting to the mid 40s before the end, as the main quest throws a good amount of XP your way.
- Should I throw the fist fight Witcher 3?: Unless you bet the minimum of one crown, it’s not suggested that Geralt throw the fight, instead, Geralt can win the fight, then approach Stan afterwards and give him five crowns, so he may feed his family.
- Should I play the main story or DLC first Witcher 3?: It’s best to do the main game, then do the expansions, as there is so much character development and world building you would miss out on.
Character and Gameplay
- Can you save the Duchess of Toussaint?: In the first ending, Anna Henrietta — the Duchy of Toussaint — and her estranged sister Syanna both survive, to achieve this ending, you need to retrieve a magic ribbon from a fairy-tale world and kill the higher vampire Dettlaff.

Additional Tips
- Should I do Brothers in Arms before Isle of Mists?: Some quests will also fail if you don’t complete them prior to traveling to the Isle of Mists, including Cabaret and Redania’s Most Wanted, and you’ll also want to have completed all the Brothers in Arms side quests.
- What does the mark on Geralt’s face mean?: When Geralt encounters Gaunter O’Dimm, it’s while on a ship headed to Ofiri for execution, and the mark serves as a reminder to later complete his contract “at the crossroads at midnight”.
- In what order should I play the Witcher 3 DLC?: The recommended way to experience The Witcher 3 DLC is by its release order, meaning completing Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Hearts of Stone, and Blood and Wine in that order, although it is possible to jump into Hearts of Stone first without any major story confusion.
