The world of The Witcher 3 is large and filled with many things, from fascinating locations to interesting people. There are also a bunch of different types of collectibles. The Places Of Power are perhaps the most valuable ones. This is because they boost the power of your signs and give you ability points to level up quicker. So, it's certainly worth interacting with them.

However, the game doesn't just put their locations on the map. You have to find them, which is pretty difficult when the world is as big as the one in The Witcher 3. Don't worry, though, as the locations of all of them are in this guide.
