The Witcher trophies

Trophy quests are quests that appear in the journal only after slaying the beasts in question. There are ten of these quests in total, two for each Act in the game, except the Prologue and the Epilogue. With the exception of The Beast of the Sewers in Act II, none of these is required to finish the game.

The target-monster of a trophy quest is usually larger than any other of its kind, and they are also set apart by having their own name.

Periodic additional rewards

Periodically there are rewards beyond the money and the experience. To obtain these, Geralt must speak with the Royal huntsman a second time after the conversation to hand in the head. For example,

		Third trophy: after the third trophy head has been handed in, Vincent (or the Royal huntsman, depending on when the trophy is handed in and to whom) gives Geralt a Svarog temporary rune
		Fifth trophy: there is also a reward after the fifth head has been redeemed: a Perun temporary rune
		Final trophy: finally, there is the ultimate reward after handing in all ten trophies, the choice of one of two splendid swords: the Moon Blade, a silver sword, or G'valchir, a steel sword.

Trophy heads can be redeemed at any point in the same Act after they have been acquired. However, since you can only carry one at a time, turning them in as you get them is more efficient. Additionally, trophy heads cannot be stored at Inns.

Act I

The Royal huntsman is able to tell you about these two. He can be found camping just west and south of the first two abandoned huts outside the Inn palisades in the Outskirts
