The Witcher trophy quests

Trophy quests begin when a head is removed from an exceptional monster's remains. There are ten of these quests in , two in each chapter. They are all secondary, although completing the main plot will require beginning (not necessarily completing) The Beast of the Sewers.
Trophy heads can be redeemed whenever Geralt has access to the current chapter's "trophy official" (these are noted by chapter below). However, since you can only carry one at a time, turning them in as you get them is more efficient. (Up to patch 1.4, trophy heads could be stored at inns. It has been reported that since that patch, it may be possible.)
The target of a trophy quest is usually larger than others of its kind, but is primarily set apart by having a specific name.
Trophy heads do not seem to despawn if you drop them.
== Periodic additional rewards ==
For a dedicated trophy-hunter, there are occasional rewards beyond the money and experience. Note that when the third/fifth/tenth trophy is turned in, the bonus is given the next time Geralt speaks with a "trophy official".

The Royal huntsman will mention these two. He can be found camping, just past the first two abandoned huts west of the Outskirts Inn.

Vincent Meis assumes the Royal Huntsman's trophy-exchange duties. His post is just outside the dungeon near the Gate to the Trade Quarter - though while waiting for the cockatrice's head he will be in the dungeon proper, and at night he is nowhere to be found...

== Notes ==
* A peasant or townsman in the outskirts may mention that Mikul "buys trophies", but even if this is true he will not buy them from Geralt. Based on other things said of Mikul, it's fair to speculate that he would pay less than the official bounty, then profit (in money and reputation) by bringing the trophy to the proper authorities.
