In 2015, a senior level designer, Péter Gelencsér was on a podcast and when he was asked to give a secret to the audience, he revealed there is an island he worked on in skellige, that if you look upon when the sun is at its highest, the shadow cast by it points to the location with a secret chest. Im pretty sure it was this chest. He also said thats why the fortress is called kaer Gelen, because he created it and named it after himself :D

In my opinion, looking for treasures using such indirect instructions is much more interesting than stupidly catching another chest that has already been marked with a question on the map in advance. The developers first need to come up with such a problem. And, unfortunately, it won’t work the second time - there will be too obvious a tautology in the gameplay.

[@albert-i2d4r]

They need to make items more interesting, because unfortunately witcher gear is better than all secret chests. Hope they find a solution in the witcher 4

Although I agree, Witcher 3 deceives you in that you almost think that a question mark being cleared is all there is to that location when in fact there’s nooks and crannies of stuff littered throughout the game like this
