The Witch's House is the residence of Elowen, the Witch of Wisdom, located in The Witchwoods west of Hernand City. The house features a garden adorned with red flowers and a fountain, with food and a teapot always set upon the table. This location serves as the primary hub for Abyss crafting and alchemy in the Hernand region, making it one of the most important service locations in the game.
After meeting Elowen, players gain access to her Abyss shop for unsealing and equipping Abyss Artifacts, a Cauldron for crafting alchemy recipes, and core management services that are essential for endgame gear progression.
The Witch's House is located in The Witchwoods, west of Hernand City. When tracking the quest marker during the Black and White questline, it leads to a hut surrounded by thorny vines. This vine-covered hut is not Elowen's actual house. Her real residence is a few hundred meters north of the vine-covered hut, surrounded by red flowers and a fountain.
An Abyss Nexus fast travel point is located right at the entrance to Elowen's house, making return visits quick and convenient. This is one of the most useful fast travel points in the Hernand region given the frequency with which players need to visit for Abyss services.
Property | Value |
|---|---|
Region | |
Sub-Location | The Witchwoods (west of Hernand City) |
Resident | Elowen (Witch of Wisdom) |
Abyss Nexus at entrance | |
Unlocked After | Chapter 5 (defeat Kearush at Hernand Castle) |
Players must progress to Chapter 5 and defeat the Kearush boss at Hernand Castle before the Witch's House becomes accessible. Once this prerequisite is met, the Black and White questline directs the player to visit the witch in the woods.
During exploration before Chapter 5, players may stumble upon the vine-covered hut but will find it locked and inaccessible. The Witch of Wisdom questline unlocks after Kearush is defeated, guiding the player to Elowen's actual residence north of the hut.
After meeting Elowen, she opens an Abyss shop offering several critical services for gear progression:
Service | Description |
|---|---|
Extract Abyss Gears | Remove socketed Abyss Cores from equipment and return them to your inventory. This is free and does not damage the gear or the core. |
Embed Abyss Gears | Install an Abyss Core into an open socket slot on a piece of equipment. Cores provide passive abilities and stat bonuses. |
Create Socket | Open chained socket slots on equipment, allowing additional Abyss Cores to be embedded for stronger builds. |
Create New Cores | Craft new Abyss Cores using materials gathered from the world. Elowen sells some of the required materials and recipes. |
Material Sales | Purchase materials and recipes needed for core creation and other Abyss-related crafting. |
Players earn Abyss Gears by completing Sealed Abyss Artifacts challenges found throughout the world of Pywel. Bringing sealed artifacts to Elowen allows them to be unsealed and equipped.
The Witch's House contains a Cauldron for crafting alchemy recipes. Combined with the Abyss Nexus fast travel point right at the door, this makes the Witch's House the most convenient alchemy crafting spot in the entire Hernand region. Players can teleport in, craft potions and elixirs at the Cauldron, manage their Abyss Cores, and teleport out quickly.
An adjacent tower near the Witch's House contains a treasure chest accessible by jumping to a closed window on the tower's upper level. This chest holds additional loot that is easy to miss if players do not explore the area around Elowen's residence.
The vine-covered hut you first see when following the quest marker is not Elowen's actual house. Continue north from there to find her proper residence with the red flowers and fountain.
Visit Elowen whenever you collect new Sealed Abyss Artifacts, as the unsealed versions provide powerful abilities for your build.
Extracting Abyss Gears from equipment is free. Do not hesitate to move cores between gear pieces as you find better equipment.
The Abyss Nexus fast travel point is right at the entrance, making return visits extremely convenient.
Check the tower near the house for a treasure chest accessible through a window.
