I've taken a contract to get rid of a noonwraith by a well, only the wraith disappeared after a few hits.
I proceeded to examine my surroundings and found the burned corpse of some dog or wolf, as well as a diary which appears to have been written by a woman.
I jumped into the well and found the bracelet described in the diary I had found earlier, then escaped from the well.
I then went to talk to the guy who put out the contract, as this was where my quest marker was pointing me to strangely enough. There, I learned about the reason why I was supposed to get rid of the wraith.
Back at the well, I noticed I could pull out a skeleton hanging inside; the skeleton belongs to a woman and is missing an arm.
This is where I'm stuck. Every time I return to the well at noon, the wraith fights me at full health, then disappears after a few hits.
Apparently, I'm supposed to burn the skeleton with the bracelet, but I can only examine the skeleton (after which Geralt will notice the missing arm where the bracelet should be) and casting Igni on the remains does nothing.
I'm suspecting the quest is bugged. From the looks of it, I'm expected to find the bracelet, but I already have it.
Is there something I've missed? Is the quest bugged? How am I supposed to defeat the wraith, if it constantly flees then returns the next day at full health?
Best Answer
After some more researching, I found an interesting post on GameFAQs, namely:
And sure enough, after reading the bestiary entry for the Devil by the Well (again), a cutscene was triggered and now I can burn the skeleton instead of just examining it.
TL;DR
Read the bestiary after reading the diary, finding the bracelet, and pulling out the skeleton.
