I believe that once you leave the Outskirts, you can never go back.

After fighting some Ghouls in the Crypt, go back to Mikul. Mikul mentions that he's going to send some of his d00dz to pick axe the caved in walls looking for treasure. Return to crypt... goodie can now get inside more. Go sploring in all the rooms. Last room is big and has alghoul Ozzer or something. Fight him, take his head.

Now, run around this room expanding map fully. What's that, another corridor with a blocked in tunnel. Aard isn't working (didn't expect it to as it didn't clear the same sort of blockage that the pickaxe guys had to move for me).

How to get in there? Can't find anything about it by Google searching many many different sources.

In the room with the Ignis granting stones there are some panels on the walls that have some kind of hyroglyphics or runes on them. I don't know if this is relevant or whether the map entry was just put there to tease us.

Need help soon as want to get on with finishing this level but don't want to find out later I missed some super awesome treasure or easter egg back there.

After you do Mikul's quest there and you have returned to him to finish that quest go back for one of the trophy hunt quests. You will fight some ghoul and need to take the trophy to the huntsman for your reward. Make sure your game is patched up.

I've done that, well I havn't taken the head to the hunter but it's in my belt.

Does going to the hunter to sell my second and last trophy somehow get him to send men to pickaxe open that other corridor? I thought there were no more bosses in chapter 1.

I'm not talking about the first wall you can't blast through with Aard, Mikul has already sent (now dead) men to do that and I have already opened the first long corridor with cells all up it. The second blocked corridor, that is marked as a corridor in floating text and is also on your map if you walk close enouogh to where it's blocked, is in the room where you fight that alghoul which gives you the other trophy head.

I don't think you can go farther in the crypt. Don't worry, the trophy head is the only thing desirable from the crypt after you help Mikul. A lot of the dungeons in the witcher are like that... if you can't go any farther don't worry thats just how they work.

And there is still one more boss (the trophy monsters aren't bosses really, they don't drop the one-time use alchemy components)... you should already know what it is.

aah yes of course. I do know what the other boss is as I have finsihed the chapter. I went back and redid a lot of the last part of it as I missed out on some things by talking to the reverend too earlly.

Thanks for the answer to my question
