Why Can’t I Deliver the Letter to the Smith?
The issue of being unable to deliver the letter to the Smith in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt often stems from a glitch where the blacksmith is either not present at his usual location in Kaer Trolde or is simply uninteractive, preventing players from completing the task. To resolve this, players can try saving their game, meditating to pass time, and then checking again if the blacksmith is available, repeating the meditation process until he becomes interactive.
Understanding the Issue
The Blacksmith’s Location
The blacksmith, named Yanne, is located in the Kaer Trolde keep, which can be found at the end of a long stone bridge. He is usually in the small courtyard beside the main entrance, recognizable by his large scarf, sleeveless shirt, and little tattoo dots on his arms.
