The Whispering Hillock is a quest from The Witcher 3 that requires Geralt to free or kill a disturbed spirit trapped in a tree. Geralt's choices can ultimately determine the fate of Gran, the orphans, and the village of Downwarren, which inevitably affects the Baron storyline.
In The Witcher 3, this quest can be acquired while doing the “Ladies of the Wood Questline” or by stumbling onto the tree spirit while exploring.
Upon approaching the giant tree whose roots are possessed, Geralt hears voices telling him to go away. Following the directions on the map, he will eventually find the cave entrance leading to the spirit.
An Igni Place of Power and a werewolf can be found near the entrance. The werewolf can be killed or avoided but will be aggressive towards the player if it spots them.
Once in the cave, players will find that they are semi-submerged in water. You will have to swim through these areas to get to the spirit. The water sections have sunken chests with notable loot that players can grab. You will have to keep an eye on the breath meter, as running out can be bad for Geralt.
After this, you will meet the spirit trapped in the roots and will be given the choice of saving or killing the spirit.

Eventually, the tree will raise its defenses and send out endrega workers again. Players must kill them again and attack the tree once more to kill off the spirit.
The tree spirit will require a couple of things to be set free:
