How To Send Ulle To The Afterlife Complete Quest Guide

Navigating the vast open world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt brings players face to face with unique encounters and subverted expectations. One of the most intriguing side quests in Skellige is "Master of the Arena," which involves resolving the tragic curse of a restless spirit named Ulle the Unlucky. Rather than relying on brute force, successfully completing this objective requires understanding the specific conditions tied to his spectral existence.

Locating the Hov Arena and Starting the Quest

To begin this quest, travel to the island of Spikeroog in the Skellige archipelago and head to the small village of Hov. Near the local fighting grounds, speak with the guards stationed in the tower overlooking the arena to learn about the ghost haunting the ring. They explain that Ulle was cursed long ago to perpetually lose every duel he takes part in.

Understanding the Nature of Ulle's Curse

In life, Ulle was mocked for his poor combat performance and fatally struck a Jarl who ridiculed him. With his dying breath, the Jarl declared that Ulle would forever linger as a wraith doomed to lose every battle. Striking down Ulle with your sword will only cause him to disappear temporarily before returning days later. To free his spirit, you must break the conditions of the curse by allowing him to taste victory.

How to Let Ulle Win the Fight

Step into the arena ring and initiate conversation with the reluctant ghost to start the duel. Once the fight begins, refrain from attacking him or using offensive Witcher Signs. Simply raise your guard to block his strikes or stand still and allow him to land hits until the encounter ends. Once he achieves a victory, Ulle will express his sincere gratitude and finally move on to the afterlife.

Claiming Your Rewards and Finalizing the Quest

After the spirit departs, return to the guards who tasked you with clearing the arena. They will reward you with an initial payment of crowns for resolving the ghostly disturbance. If you return to the arena after a few in-game days have passed, you can collect an additional bonus from the thriving local fights.
