Journal

From Witcher Wiki

The journal is the best source of all in-game information. It contains sections entitled: Quests, Characters, Locations, Monsters, Formula, Ingredients, Glossary and Tutorials. Whenever a new entry is added to the Journal, the journal icon will glow blue. It is well worth reading these updates as, very often, information critical to plot advancement is supplied in this manner. Left-click on the scroll icon, or press J to open the Journal.
