Witcher 3 guide: The Skellige Isles Places of Power

As you explore The Witcher 3’s world, you’ll encounter Places of Power. These magical stones temporarily increase the intensity of Geralt’s Signs. You’ll also receive an Ability Point the first time you visit each Place of Power.

To use a Place of Power, approach the glowing stone and press the prompted button. Pressing it briefly will get you your Sign buff, but you’ll have to hold it down for a couple seconds to collect your Ability Point on your first visit.

Below, we’ve got a map for all nine Places of Power in the Skellige Isles.
