The Witcher 2 journal

The journal is a record of information, apparently written by Dandelion, in The Witcher 2.

Whenever a new entry is added to the journal it will be noted in the bottom right hand side of the screen. It is well worth reading these updates as, very often, information critical to plot advancement is supplied in this manner. Press to open the journal.

The quests section of the journal is updated as Geralt receives new quests, or advances in existing quests. While initially virtually empty, this list of quests fills up remarkably quickly with useful information. You may also double-click on any quest to track the mission on the map.
