This guide was written using the XBOX 360 version of The Witcher 2: Assassins
of Kings: Enhanced Edition for all difficulties. The guide may have some
differences in it from playing between the PC and the XBOX 360; I will try to
add as many differences as possible to make it work for all versions.
This is based on a mature rated game. The guide now features all four endings
on Roche's side of the game. It doesn't have very much variation except for
some very minor details of who appears in the last few cut scenes. I am
currently playing through the game along Iorveth's story line now on Dark Mode
to knock the rest out.
Due to the FAQ being really long, it is best to use the CTRL+F feature to
search the Table of Contents to get to the section you want faster.
If you would like to donate some money to help pay for my college funds and
other games you wish I would write a guide for please send some money to me
through www.paypal.com at acstupak@yahoo.com
Thanks for the support.

Geralt - "I think it worked"
King Henselt - "Are you sure?"
Geralt - "All I can say for sure is a dwarf can pass through a woman's legs...
even on tip-toe."

Sheldon - "Have we heard of it? Do pigs have tight arses?"
Zoltan - "To tell you the truth, I have no idea"
Sheldon - "Well it's just a sayin'"
Zigrin - "You're the only one that says that..."

2. Walkthrough
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you didn't play the first game here is the official video made to catch you
up to speed - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPHgWfWFr9k
It is recommended to play through the tutorial before starting a new game due
to the controls being very complex, especially for an Xbox 360 game.
*******************************************************************************
2.01 - Tutorial
*******************************************************************************
You first learn that if you press and hold the Back button to bring up the
tutorial panel whenever the Back Button icon shows up on the left side of the
screen. You also learn that when you start a new quest, the mini-map on the
right side of the screen will tell you what to do. Exit out of this panel to
have another panel pop-up.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Camera and Controls
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Rotate the Right Analog Stick to move the camera around, also letting you
select a target during combat.
Use the Left Analog Stick to move your character, the further you tilt the
Analog Stick the faster your character will move.
Now practice this as Geralt starts to talk to himself about how his boat is
leaky with soaked boots. Head up the dock towards the corpse and you will
enter another tutorial:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Picking up loot
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Press the A Button when standing by a container, lootable corpse, or anything
that has an item in it to collect the contents. If you approach the object
holding the items close enough you will bring up a window showing you the top
four most valuable items inside.
Now practice on the corpse up and to your left to loot it. You will immediately
be put in to another tutorial:
%%%%%%%%%
Inventory
%%%%%%%%%
Press the Back Button to open the Inventory Panel to see the items you have.
While the Inventory window is open press the A Button to equip and unequip the
items in the list. THe Right and Left Bumpers will allow you to sort the items,
while the Y Button will allow you to drop an item out of the inventory freeing
up room.
Now try it out by opening the inventory and going down to the "Tournament
Announcement", activate it to read about a Tournament and then equip the
Squire's Boots. Go ahead and throw away the Soaked Boots. Now leave the
Inventory screen. Immediately after another pop-up tutorial will appear:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Journal Update
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Press the Back Button and go to your journal using the Left or Right Triggers
for quest information. You can also press the A Button when looking in your
journal on one quest at a time to track it.
Take a look at the Journal, but you do not have to activate the quest as it is
already selected to be tracked. Now head up the path to start another tutorial:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Character Interaction
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Press the A Button to talk to a character you encounter, make sure to move the
camera over to the person and press the button.
Now head over to the injured knight and talk to him just like the tutorial
instructed you to do. You will tell him that you will locate some herbs and
brew him a health potion. This brings up another pop-up tutorial:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Quest Tracking
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Now that you have a second quest added you can perform quest tracking. Simply
open the Journal and select the quest you want to track using the A Button.
Once again the quest is already being tracked automatically (possibly a minor
unimportant glitch). Head down the path the way you came to reach the blip on
your mini-map which brings up another pop-up tutorial:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Witcher's Medallion
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Press the Left Analog Stick (L3) and this will detect nearby containers, herbs,
monsters, Places of Power, and threats. Once the medallion is used, you must
wait for a cooldown timer to use it again.
Now activate the Witcher's Medallion to see four glowing spots all around you
where Herbs are, collect them all. Once all four are collected another pop-up
tutorial will appear:
%%%%%%%
Alchemy
%%%%%%%
You can prepare potions, bombs, or blade oils whenever you have the correct
formula for the item as well as the required ingredients. You can only create
a mixture when meditating. You can purchase both the formulae and ingredients
from shopkeepers or find them in a variety of places through out the game.
Ingredients can also b harvested off plants and carved out of monsters corpses.
To get to the meditation window press and hold the left bumper to bring up the
quick menu. Then without pressing anything else press the A Button to begin
meditating.
Now jump in to the meditating state and select "Alchemy". This will bring up
the Formulae window. With the Healing Brew highlighted by default simply press
the Y Button to create it. Now back out of the menus and head back to talk to
the wounded knight.
Ask him "What happened here?" then tell him "Get well. I've gotta go.", he will
then hand you the invite to the arena. Now continue down the path you were
heading to reach a big wooden door leading to the village and try to open it.
Beer trial!? THe gate guard will not let you in because he thinks you are a
monstrous vampire jester, so you are forced to wait until morning to prove you
are not afraid of the rising sun. Another pop-up tutorial will appear:
%%%%%%%%%%
Meditation
%%%%%%%%%%
You can meditate to a predetermined hour of the day/night instead of waiting
around in-game. You once again must go to the meditation panel and this time
select "Wait Time".
Now go to the quick menu, meditate, and click on "Wait Time". You now have a
clock showing with a greyed out arrow as the current hour and the orange arrow
as the hour you want to wait until. Select Dawn and accept, now back out of the
menus. The rooster will crow, so head to the door and try again. You will then
enter the Arena with a pop-up tutorial:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Combat Training
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Pressing Left on the Directional Pad will draw and sheathe your Steel Sword.
Pressing Right on the Directional Pad will draw and sheathe your Silver Sword.
Now draw your Steel Sword. You will then go in to another pop-up tutorial:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Target Selection
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Simply rotate the camera towards the enemy you want to attack. Place the little
sight icon on an opponent you want to select and engage in combat.
Now select each of the three enemies in front of you in the order the game
asks.
%%%%%%%%%
Targeting
%%%%%%%%%
Press and hold the Left Trigger to target and lock on to the currently selected
enemy. This stays on them until you release the button or they die.
You can use the Right Analog Stick to switch between targets while you have a
target lock activated. Tilting left/right will select the target in the
appropriate direction. Tilting Up/Down will select the target that is closer or
further away.
Now lock on to the knight and you will be prompted in-game that the A Button
does a quick attack. Attack the knight as he charges at you. Now press the X
Button to perform a Strong Attack. Now that the Knight is defeated, you must
kill the two remaining enemies at the same time. Once they are defeated another
pop-up tutorial will appear:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Parrying, Dodging, and Ripostes
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
You will learn that slow opponents have strong attacks, while swift opponents
bring in weaker more frequent attacks. Both of these types of enemies require
you to know how to dodge and parry. Parrying DOES NOT fully block attacks, it
just reduces the damage. You CAN NOT parry magic attacks! You can either dodge
the spell or protect yourself from it with a spell of your own. You will then
go straight in to another tutorial:
%%%%%
Vigor
%%%%%
Vigor is shown as the yellow bar in the upper left corner of the screen. It
will drop every time you parry an enemy's attack or cast a Sign. If your Vigor
is to low you will not be able to cast Signs, but you can still parry. Vigor
will regenerate over time, you can also use potions to help accelerate the
process. Vigor affects the damage you deal to enemies. When leveling your
character you can add points to your Vigor limit.
Now perform some parry moves on the new enemy. You will then be prompted to
dodge the opponents attacks by pressing the B Button along with a direction on
the Left Analog Stick to roll out of the way. After a few dodges you will have
another pop-up tutorial appear:
%%%%%%%
Riposte
%%%%%%%
You can counter attacks with what is called Riposte. Simply block with the
Right Trigger held and when the Riposte marker appears on the enemy press an
attack button quickly. Note that in the normal game you CAN NOT riposte until
you have unlocked it in the Character Tree.
%%%%%%%%%
Aard Sign
%%%%%%%%%
Casting a Sign takes 1 Vigor point. The Aard Sign will knock down or stun your
enemy, allowing you to kill them with a single blow. You will want to use this
especially against enemies with shields.
When you return to the fight press the Y Button to cast Aard on the opponent.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Critical Effects
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Not only can everyone deal regular damage, but they can all inflict a critcial
effect during combat. These effects will remain for a certain amount of time.
The Stun and Knockdown effects allow Geralt to finish off opponents instantly.
Be aware that some enemies are immune to selected effects and will require a
different approach.
Now go and attack your stunned enemy.
%%%%%%%%%%
Quick Menu
%%%%%%%%%%
Bring up the Quick Menu to select a Sign on the left side of the menu. You will
have to also press the A Button to confirm your selection, release the bumper
to resume playing. Note that while you are in this menu ENEMIES WILL STILL
ATTACK YOU! Remember where all the Signs are at to minimize damage when you
select them.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Critical Effects on Geralt
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Both positive and negative effects remain active for only a certain time. The
effect duartion is displayed at the top of the screen.
Bleeding - represented by a drop of blood
Blinding - represented by an eyeball
Incineration - represented by a triforce of flames
Freezing - represented by a snowflake
Poisoning - represented by a green skull and bones
Intoxication - represented by a potion on top of a swirl
You will now be incinerated by the mage to show you the icon on the top of the
screen.
%%%%%%%%%%%%
Low Vitality
%%%%%%%%%%%%
Your Vitality is represented by the red bar, this is your health. When your
Vitality gets low you need to switch to the defensive and cast the Quen Sign
to reduce damage you receive from your enemies.
%%%%%%%%%
Quen Sign
%%%%%%%%%
The Quen Sign absorbs damage dealt by your enemies. You can reflect damage back
to the enemy when you acquire the relevant ability. Also note that while the
Quen Sign is cast you will no longer have Vigor regeneration!
Now quickly go in to the Quick Menu and select the Quen Sign and cast it on
yourself.
%%%%%%%%%
Axii Sign
%%%%%%%%%
The Axii Sign gives you temporary control of an enemy. Note that the effects do
not happen instantly. Once casted on to the enemy do not recast it and wait for
Geralt to tap in to the enemies mind and control them. You will have to cast
and hold the spell on them to get it to work.Also note that some
monsters are immune to the Axii Sign.
%%%%%%%%%%
Yrden Sign
%%%%%%%%%%
The Yrden Sign is a magical trap that is traced on the ground and will
immobilize enemies. Use this to trap enemies and attack them from behind or
have an edge on running away from a tough fight.
Now dodge the Gargoyle and quickly equip the Yrden Sign to set a trap on the
ground for it to walk through. Once it is caught in the trap equip the Igni
Sign and set the Gargoyle on fire.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Quick Slot Items
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Open your inventory to locate your items that can go in to quickslots. Press
the A Button to place items like traps, bombs, daggers, and lures in your
Pocket quickslot on the right side of the screen. Once back in the normal
screen you can easily access these items quickly.
Head over to the side of the arena and take the contents from the chest. Now go
to your inventory an set the Well-Balanced Dagger, Samum, and Talgar Winter
trap in your pocket. Now bring up the quick slot menu and select your bombs,
then throw them at the enemy. Now select the traps in the quick menu and set
them up against the Knight. Finally select the daggers and throw them at the
mage to take him down.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Character Development
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
For the first six levels you can only unlock abilities in the Training Path.
As you acquire more Talents, you will be able to spend on abilities from the
three remaining paths: Magic, Alchemy, and Swordsmanship.
%%%%%%%%
Mutagens
%%%%%%%%
Mutagens can be used to modify some of Geralt's abilities. To use a mutagen,
go to the Character Development Panel and find an ability with a mutagen slot
on the "Training" path. Place a mutagen in the slot to upgrade that ability.
Search the corpses of slain monsters to find more mutagens.
Open your Inventory and you will now see you leveled up to 8. Press the
trigger to go to Character screen and place the talent point anywhere you want
to in the Training path on the top.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Final Trial 1
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
You now must prove that you have learned everything that has been taught to
you. You will face three waves of enemies, explore the chest and use the items
you get from inside. When you are ready step in to the circle at the edge of
the arena.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Preparing for Combat
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Drink some potions which will raise your toxicity level, if that maxes out you
can not drink any more potions until it lowers again. Get in to your meditation
menu and go to Potions. Add one Maribor Forest and two Swallow Potions.
Nowvhead over to the circle away from the door to start the battle. Attack them
all or run through the door to quit the tutorial. Either way you will then be
assessed and reccomended a difficulty level to play on.
*******************************************************************************
2.02 - Prologue
*******************************************************************************
Watch the cut scene and then Geralt will be brought to an interrogation chamber
where he must talk about the events that happened to the Blue Stripes
commander, Vernon Roche. It is best to start from the top of the list and work
your way down so you get the most out of the Prologue.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.02.01 - By the King's Will
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Select "That morning, the King summoned me."
Watch the cut scene and then say whatever you want in the dialogue decisions to
Triss. Take the Orens (Cash in this game) from the cabinet and then leave the
tent. Take the herbs on both sides of the hill and then head down and in to the
camp below. Head along the right collecting herbs and searching barrels for
items along the way. Talk to the lone Knight for some backstory of something
Geralt did in the past and continue over to where Newboy has a question for
you. Once you see the amulet you have a few choices to say to them about it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.02.02 - Melitele's Heart
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"The amulet could help." - Newboy will go in to battle not wearing any armor.
He will then be killed and you will locate his body later in the story, this
ends this quest line. NOT THE BEST CHOICE.
"I doubt it." - Newboy keeps the amulet and wears armor to battle, thus
surviving the fight and you will see him later on through the story. You
however have to kill him yourself and take the amulet off his body if you want
to have it. NOT THE BEST CHOICE.
"Where did you get this?" - This will give you more options in the dialogue to
talk about. BEST TO CHOOSE THIS ONE.
"I'd say the amulet could help you." - This option will get Newboy killed
in battle. NOT THE BEST CHOICE.
"Seems to me the amulet brings trouble." - This option grants you the
amulet in payment for your advice on the matter, you must accept the gift
to continue the quest further. Newboy will wear armor and be seen later in
the story. BEST TO CHOOSE THIS ONE.
"It's infused with magic, though what kind, I don't know." - This option
makes Newboy wear both the amulet and armor in to battle. You will meet
him later in the story where you can kill him for the amulet if you wish
to have it. NOT THE BEST CHOICE.
You now have the talisman known as Newboy's Talisman, you can use this for a
quest after the Prologue is over to give you a decent bonus...right now it is
cursed, taking 10% of your armor rating at the moment; this doesn't really hurt
you at the moment because your armor this early in the game isn't very powerful
anyway.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.02.03 - By the King's Will Continued
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Continue looping around to the right and collect any herbs and items you come
across to pick up. You will wrap around through some sick and dying people,
then when you reach the second tent on your right afterwards you will be
prompted about Circle's of Power. Activate your medallion to get the Circle of
Vigor which enhances your health regeneration. Now catch yourself on fire at
the campfire 15 or 16 times to unlock the PYROMANIAC ATTRIBUTE. Now wrap around
the wooden walls to your right collecting more items and herbs along the way to
enter a training area.
Go over to the Training Dummies to destroy the five there which goes towards
unlocking the EXPERIENCED ATTRIBUTE. Now head around to the back of the tents
to locate two mini games; arm wrestling and dice poker.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Arm Wrestling
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Place your bet and then you have to move the cursor to the left or right so it
stays inside the yellow lines, this keeps Geralt focused and allows him to over
power the opponent.
%%%%%%%%%%
Dice Poker
%%%%%%%%%%
Place your bet. Now you need to either roll a better set with the five dice
than the opponent does. Roll the dice with the Right Analog Stick, do it gently
because if any dice fall off the table you can't use them to help you. You will
roll the dice twice. Once you roll once, you must choose which dice you want to
roll again. Here is a list of the sets you want to try and make:
Royal Straight Flush - 1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6
Full House - Three of one kind and Two of another
Five of a Kind - Five of any number
Four of a Kind - Four of any number

I like to save before starting this game and then maximize my bets to earn the
max profit. Rinse and repeat as much as you like. If you get a Five of a Kind
you will unlock an ACHIEVEMENT. Now head out of this little secluded training
area and head around to the right along the path and up the big hill. Head to
the right along the board walk and start a cut scene.
@ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED - Poker!
Now follow the King up the hill for another cut scene. You are then given the
spyglass, as you look through it you will see a man just below the crosshairs.
Aim just below him and enter the coordinates to take him out; he will say One
and a half degrees...this will unlock an ACHIEVEMENT. If you do end up missing
this will result in more enemies attacking you later in these back stories.

Head in front of the kings guards and drop down a few times towards the arrows,
then turn to the edge of the wall to drop down on to some construction and go
down the ramp to drop down some more. Meditate and create some potions as well
as drink a Swallow Potion. Equip your bombs, traps, and throwing knives to your
quick access menu as well. Kill the enemies you encounter and make your way up
to the ballista. First you should run past it to the back of the area and go to
the right to find a dead assassin tucked away on the side. Head up close to him
and you will unlock the ASSASSIN ABILITY.
*NOTE - this character is based on Altair from the Assassin's Creed games,
Geralt makes fun of him saying "They will never learn."*
Now head back to the ballista and tap the button it asks on the screen to cock
the weapon. Fight off another wave of enemies and then aim the weapon. Once
again fight another wave to finally launch the bolt.
Head back to the area you were just at and head to the far end along the left

@Achievement Unlocked - Perfectionist
Climb the ladder and then the structure on your left as you come to the top of
the tower for a cut scene.
"As you wish" - This will initiate a battle where you must fight Aryan and all
of his men. NOT THE BEST CHOICE.
"Surrender and save your men." - This opens more dialogue options to go through
to talk to him. BEST TO CHOOSE THIS ONE.
"Drop your weapon fool." - Aryan will surrender. BEST TO CHOOSE THIS ONE
IF YOU WANT HIM ALIVE.
"Let's settle this between us." - You will get to fight Aryan one-on-one.
He will die in this match. THIS OPTION
IS GOOD TO CHOOSE IF YOU WANT HIM DEAD.
If you want the Executioner attribute you must kill him, otherwise if you want
the Strong Back attribute you must choose the option to keep him alive. Whether
he lives or dies you will get a small insight on Aryan from Roche once you have
finished the talk and won the fight if they had one.

2.02.09 - Woe to the Vanquished
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Save before you continue in to the house as your influence with things is not
very high in level yet, so you can easily fail at any of the options you choose
to use. You will want to use these options often to level the influence up. If
you fail you fail the quest and watch the people die. If you are successful you
should tell the survivors to "Take care of yourselves." as this has a better
payout of XP and extends the quest later, then telling them you want money too.
Now leave the house and take a left to find the group of soldiers, talk to the
Commander and tell him the only options available. You must now fight him and
when you win they will unblock the door to the building. Now head inside to let
them know they have been freed. Tell them to "Be careful.". The quest is marked
finished, but if you chose not to get paid either time you will have more to
the quest later on.

around the corner drop down a hole to find the monsters. Kill the Drowner and
go to the right to find the CIRCLE OF LIFE to activate with your medallion.
Kill two enemies with two different Signs to unlock the CONJUROR ATTRIBUTE. Now
head the opposite way and look just to the left of the hall to your right. If
you scan it with your medallion the whole wall will glow orange, shoot it with
Aard to blast it open and get the TEMERIAN SWORD which is much better than your
regular steel sword. Turn right through the passage in to a hallway. Get to the
end and enter a square room with another enemy to kill. Blast through the
wooden panels on the right side of the room with Igni to fight another monster.
Now turn to the left and go through the gate and up the ladder.

the hallway on the right. Head up the hill to kill the three guards and enter

chest straight ahead to get the WELL-BALANCED SILVER DAGGERS, NEKKER's IN THE
MIST book, and the DIAGRAM OF SUPERB LEATHER TROUSERS. Search the rest of the
area for more items.
Now head back up the stairs to the main temple room you were in earlier and
head north for a cut scene. Now get the King to safety by heading straight down
and moving out of the way of the fire when it shoots a fireball. Now go up the
stairs for a cut scene that catches you up to the present time.

2.02.12 - The Dungeons of the La Valettes
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Talk to Roche about the details on everything below the "I'm not the murderer."
statement, once your done with those choose "I'm not the murderer.". You can
then drag out the conversation longer or straight up tell Roche "I'd hunt down
the killer." to move things on. If you choose "None of your buisiness", you
can then say "You win. I'm going to talk - candidly." to move the story on. Or
choose "Go fuck yourself. I've already told you I didn't do it...". DO NOT
follow up with [Attack him] as this will result in a Game Over. Instead you
have to tell him "I can help you get the murderer.".
Watch the rest of the cut scene and you will see a cartoon cut scene where
Geralt regains some of his memory kicking in the RETURNING MEMORIES quest. You
will now be put back in to the prison cell, this portion of the game will be
different depending on whether or not you killed Aryan La Valette and what you
did in the Melitele's Heart quest. Now you either can "FREE YOURSELF" and fist
fight both guards, or "PROVOKE" them and have to fight only one guard. If you
won the Dice Poker and arm wrestling back at the beginning of the game you will
now unlock another ACHIEVEMENT once you beat the guards here.
@Achievement Unlocked - Gambler
Once you are free take the prison key that was dropped and leave the cell. Grab
some clothes on the rack nearby with a SMALL BLACKJACK weapon. Head up the
stairs and put out the torch when prompted. You must now decide to go about the
rest of the area in stealth or just go in blazing with a blackjack. If you want
to gather items, it is best to just go in killing everyone in your path and
collecting the items.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Stealth Approach
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Carefully head through the door and immediately to the cell on your left to
avoid the guard as he inspects the noise, when he runs past you stay on the
left side of the doorway to the cell so he doesn't see you and he will look
through the door you just opened. Now sneak up behind him and tap the strong
attack button to knock him out. You will want to save after every successful
stunned guard to stay stealth through the whole thing.
Put out the next two torches and go up the stairs carefully. Watch the
mini-map for the next enemies position and get across the doorway to hide from
him before he comes your way to look through the opening. As he walks away put
out the torch and then sneak up behind him to knock him out, then quickly go to
the prisoner in the upper left corner to tap the button and calm him down
before he alerts the guards. Advance and hide behind some barrels on the left,
then when his back is turned head in and knock him out. Now take his key off
him and head to the door on the right for a cut scene. This part will be
different depending on if you killed Aryan or not.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Non-Stealth Approach
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Head up and through the door with your weapon drawn to take on the guard that
rushes over to you. Continue forward up more stairs to battle another one. Turn
to the right and attack two more guards, as one is threatening to rape a female
prisoner in the back left. Take the RUSTY KEY off him. Calm the other female
prisoner and head back down the stairs, you can now unlock the door on your
right.
Inside drop down to a lower level and search around the path for items. You can
find a GUISARME in the cell with the skeleton locked in a stock. As you head
around the corner and up a few steps you will over hear someone being tortured.
This depends on if you killed Aryan or not.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Stealth Approach - Aryan Dead
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Head up the stairs the way everyone went and go to the left at the
intersection for a Club you can pick up as a different weapon, then wait for
the guard at the top of the stairs to turn his back on you and stun him, save
your game. Put out both of the torches and then go down the right hall to hide
behind the center wall. Wait for the guard to come and then walk away, follow
him and stun as soon as possible. Head to the left and use the first set of
barrels to hide from a guard on the left side. Wait for him to walk away and
then advance to the next set of barrels, put out the torch on your right. Once
the guard walks away again put the torch out on the left and knock him out.
Sneak around to the other side and knock out the guard over here too. Now go
through the gate door on the side for a cut scene.
Stay in the room as Shilard goes to open the door and informs the guards that
you have escaped, they will not come in this room and will run towards your
cell. Now head out of the room and through the now unlocked gate and take the
SWORD on the weapon rack. Head through the door to the outside.

Aryan Alive
%%%%%%%%%%%
Aryan can't walk on his own because of the torture he has endured so Geralt
will have to help carry him. Take him up the steps and he will have you set him
down and clear out the area before helping him any further. Exit the door and
quiet the prisoner straight ahead. Now turn to the right and head through the
open door.
Go up the steps and through another doorway, head to the left and stay in this
deadend as a guard comes around at the top of the stairs. When the guard turns
his back go up and knock him out, save your game. Put out both of the torches
and then go down the right hall to hide behind the center wall. Wait for the
guard to come and then walk away, follow him and stun as soon as possible. Head
to the left and use the first set of barrels to hide from a guard on the left
side. Wait for him to walk away and then advance to the next set of barrels,
put out the torch on your right. Once the guard walks away again put the torch
out on the left and knock him out. Sneak around to the other side and knock out
the guard over here too. Once they are all dealt with head back to Aryan where
you left him and help him back through this area by taking the second door on
the left.
Aryan then opens a secret passage for you and then starts to set the oil
reserves on fire. Head through the passage as it explodes behind you. Take the
sword off the stand and leave through the door. Head up the stairs and fight
two guards as Triss whispers to you by the docks to have you follow her.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Non-Stealth Approach - Aryan Dead
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
You can take a peek through a crack in the wall to see a topless Baroness Mary
La Valette. She pleeds with the torturer that she will sign the papers, but he
still wants to torture her regardless. Once you are done looking head further
down and climb the wall where the floor turns to a grate. Jump down and knock
out the Scribe to the left, then fight the torturer. Search him to get the
CLAWER DIAGRAM.
Search the rest of the room and when you reach the topless Baroness a cut scene
starts up. Shilard will come through the door with an elite guard for some
dialogue. No matter what you say the outcome is the same here. Wait 20 seconds
like he asks so he can get ahead and inform the guards to distract them. Finish
searching the area, you can find the Baroness's confession that was written
stating that she had incest with her son and had the two other children to keep
them from having the throne.
Now head up the stairs and through the door, wrap around to the right and up
more stairs. Get the CLUB on the left and go up the stairs as you find Shilard
calling all of the guards to follow him further through the dungeon. Now you
must go to the right and hide over by the barrels as he tells them you have
escaped and are running around the dungeon. Wait for them all to run down there
and then you are free to run to the far end and go through the gate. As you
head upstairs look on the weapon rack for a SWORD. Head through the door to the
outside.

If you saved Newboy from his death earlier in the game, then you will be
confronted by him as you leave the dungeon. Ask him about the Scoia'tel ambush
he will hand you the ABOUT DRAGONS book. He then goes up the stairs to have the
guards follow him away from you.
If you already have the amulet from him just head up the stairs and go straight
for the boat.
If you don't have the amulet from him head up the stairs before they leave and
kill them all to grab it.
If Newboy died you will have to look around the docks for his body to grab the
talisman.
Now head up the stairs to fight through a few enemies. If you take to long
Triss will pop in to help the fight and have you follow her to the boat which
starts a cut scene. You will gain all the items you gained earlier in the game
as well as what you gained in the dungeon. This will unlock an ACHIEVEMENT.

Move to the back of the scaffold and climb up the back to fist fight the
executioner. Watch the cut scene and then head in to the inn right after
everyone else, Geralt notices a Notice Board that we will look at a little
later just to the right of the door. Look to the left behind the counter when
you enter the Inn to find a shopkeeper, talk to him and sell some goods. Get
rid of what you don't need and store things you want to hold on to. The nice
thing about this storage is that it travels with you from town to town and can
be accessed in all the inns. So anything you put in here now, can be accessed
in another city later. Talk to the group in the center to finish the quest.

You can only wrestle him during the day. Head out the back door of the inn and
turn to the right to run down the stairs and through the large wooden doors. Go
up to the boats along the shore to find him building them. Talk to him and then

Head back to the inn and go downstairs and search around for items. Go through
the door at the foot of the stairs as well as under them to bedrooms that you
can search for more items as well. Sometimes in these rooms you can find some
prostitutes to give them Oren for sex; you will have to pay her at least 50%
of her minimum wager to get her to do anything. Other than a cut scene there is
nothing of value to this.

2.03.05 - Poker Face: Flotsam
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Talk to Bendeck at the table to start a poker tournament quest. Once again,
here are the instructions on how to play:
Place your bet. Now you need to either roll a better set with the five dice
than the opponent does. Roll the dice with the Right Analog Stick, do it gently
because if any dice fall off the table you can't use them to help you. You will
roll the dice twice. Once you roll once, you must choose which dice you want to
roll again. Here is a list of the sets you want to try and make:
Royal Straight Flush - 1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6

Full House - Three of one kind and Two of another
Five of a Kind - Five of any number
Four of a Kind - Four of any number
Three of a Kind - Three of any number

One Pair - One pair of any number
1 - Single Circle
2 - Two overlapped Circles
3 - Downward Triangle
4 - Square
5 - Five-pointed Star
6 - Six-pointed Star
This is a great chance to try for a Five of a Kind to get your achievement if
you didn't the first time earlier in the game. Once you defeat Bendeck you must
go against Casimir. Your third opponent is at the table as well, he refuses to
play you until you have defeated the first two. Once this happens talk to
Zindrab.
Once you have defeated the third opponent you must seek out Einer Gausel in the
Nonhuman District. You will find him in the house on the corner. He has books
for sale, the ability to get your haircut! and Poker Dice!!
Once he is defeated he will tell you how to find the fifth and final opponent
in this area named Sendler. You will need to head to the harbor and then over
to Lobinden area. You can usually find him in his house or walking around once
in a while as a taxidermy. Play poker with him and when you win you will
complete this quest. Ask him about traps and choose the freezing trap as this
is one of the better traps.

that sometimes the game glitches and only needs you to fight two battles, even
if this happens you need to do the third battle. This rewards you with a

While in the town square go to the Guard House just to the right of the inn.
Loot all the items you find and go up the stairs to find two Training Dummies
you need to destroy quickly so you don't piss off the guards. If you don't have
a powerful weapon to knock them down fast enough, take a few swings at them and
sheath the sword again, then swing some more.
Now exit the Guard House and head away from the inn, head past the large wooden
doors and ladder The next door between the merchant stalls leads you to Louis
Merse's House. Take the loot and talk to Louis to find out that you are to talk
to him when you kill monsters found on the bulletin board out on the side of
the Inn.
The two merchants Fioravanti and Vilmos Bartok sell a lot of goods, but at a
very expensive price. Don't bother getting any alchemy or crafting ingredients,
just focus on a few key formula's you seem to like. Head further to the right
through the opening to see two people talking quietly about you, talk to them.
They ask that you go through an experiment and if you agree you will receive
CRITICAL EFFECTS MUTAGEN.

You must now destroy the ballista, but you need a distraction. Find Margarita
the prostitute and talk to her. She asks you to pay her to do it, you can pay
her or ask a favor for a favor. She wants you to humiliate Myron and Alphonse.
This is a good choice if you know how to arm wrestle.
Once you have paid her or arm wrestled the two men have her head over to the
guard for a distraction. Once they leave, head up to the ballista and sabatoge
it by searching it. Now head up the stairs after Roche.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.11 - Indecent Proposal Continued
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Once you head up the stairs you will get a cut scene. Head back down the stairs
and talk to Roche under them, a man will over hear your conversation and has an
offer for the Witcher. Listen to what he has to say, this lets you learn that
they are hiding a trap for the beast in the back. At this time you should drink
a Cat Potion so you can see the guards.
As Roche calls for the soldier to come report to him, run along the right side
of the path and hide behind the rock while the other soldier patrols the left
side, sneak around and stun him. (Normally you should be able to just sneak
past him and just knock out the second guard only, but it can get glitchy at
times) Watch out for the buckets on the ground so you don't kick them. Quickly
go around the corner to the left to stun the guard taking a quick pee break.
Save your game here.
Now climb the two ledges to the right and then drop down on the other side of
the wall. Sneak along the wall and wait for the soldier to look your way. Once
he turns away, sneak up behind him and knock him out. Now climb the ladder and
crates to hide and look inside the window. Climb back down and wai along the
next wall for the guard to have his back turned on you, knock him out. Now go
to the end of the area and jump the low wall.
Loot everythig here and take the IRON FRAME and DIAGRAM for WITCHER'S ROBUST
SILVER SWORD, ASTROGARUS' ARMOR, and a FIBRE ENHANCER. Now climb the ladder and
drop back down the other side. Talk to Roche and tell him what you over heard.
You will also unlock an ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - Man of the Shadows
Follow Roche up the stairs and talk to Bartel at the top. Head inside alone and
go through the door on the right for a cut scene. Head in to the first room
before the stairs on the left. Watch the cut scene and then loot the room
before you leave. Now exit the compound through the courtyard and search the
chest outside for your items.

Exploring Flotsam
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Go on your way back to the town square, taking a right and go through the
middle towards the doors. You will find a group of three mercenaries sent to
capture you dead or alive for the murder of the king. Kill them where they
stand. Now turn back around and turn left down the first street. Cross the
intersection and go through the large wooden door. Inside you will locate two
more Training Dummies, destroy them. Now leave the area the way you came, loop
back through townsquare and go through one of the two doors back in to the
Nonhuman district. Go back to where the Training Dummies are and destroy them
once again to unlock the EXPERIENCED ATTRIBUTE.
Now head back in to the Nonhuman District and turn to the right. Talk to
Berthold Candeleria, you want to buy the DIAGRAM: JAGGED BLADE from him as this
will be the most powerful secondary weapon in the game for a little while once
you get it made. You could buy the SILVER-PLATED SWORD from him but you have
the plans to make a better one, all you should need is two SILVER ORE from him
if you have been collecting everything else that you can see. Go in to all the
houses here and take all of the items you see in there. In one of the houses
you will meet Einar Gausel, he sells some really good books on the enemies you
will encounter around the area, search his house first for a lot of free ones
before you buy them.
Once you are done searching the houses, head over to the building just to the
left of the Inn at the town square. This building is the home to the Blue
Stripes. Here you will see Roche at the table right when you come in if you
have completed "Indecent Proposal". Search the building for loot and then talk
to Ves in the back room after you save.

2.03.12 - Hung Over
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Watch the cut scene and then accept Ves's offer at knife throwing. You are told
to throw at three different items randomly; The Map, the cured ham hanging from
the ceiling, and the oar hanging in the corner of the room. Do not miss
obviously, and don't take to long to throw it. Once you hit all three items you
will unlock the THROWER ATTRIBUTE.
Once you are done with throwing knives a cut scene will start up. Roche will
pick a fight with the citizens. Vess will ask you to stop him, if you say you
will try and fail at it, you will have to fist fight Roche. After the cut scene
Ves asks you to drink...say yes. You will then start an arm wrestling
competition. If you beat them both you will win the sword of Creyden.
Geralt will then wake up on the beach practically naked when a man comes by and
wakes you up. Pay him the 31 Orens, as intimidating may not work. He tells you
to talk to the Madame Margot at the Brothel. Head over there now and ask her
what happened yesterday. She makes you pay around 36 Oren....apparently you
rode some prostitutes out to the port! Now you must speak to Ves.
Head over to the Blue Stripes HQ and speak with her. She will then give you a
key to open the trunk by the window to reclaim all of your items.
###############################################################################
NOTE: If you want to remove the tattoo (You don't have to)
Head over to the Inn and talk to Triss about tattoo removal. She will
tell you to bring her Green Mold, White Myrtle Petals, and Wolf's Aloe
Leaves. You should have plenty of White Myrtle Petals so go to Anezka in
Lobinden for the other two ingredients

2.03.13 - A Sword For Monsters
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You need to replace the sword you lost from the dragon back in the prologue.
###############################################################################
NOTE: If you are playing the PC version of the game and have a save file from
the end of that game that contains a Silver Sword in his inventory you
will already have a Silver Sword.
###############################################################################
You can either decide to buy a pre-made one from a merchant (This is the second
worst Silver Sword in the game) or gather the materials needed and make the
better Silver Sword with them. This is the better option, buy the SILVER ORE
from Berthold Candeleria and have him craft the sword for you. Equip it and you
will complete this quest.
DIAGRAM: WITCHER'S ROBUST SILVER SWORD

--------------------------------------
1 x Diamond Dust
1 x Timber

2 x Silver Ore
45 Oren

2.03.14 - The Kayran: A Matter Of Price
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now head through the large wooden doors from the Craftsmen's District to the
Harbor. Speak to the Merchant here to start a dialogue with him. Asking for an
advance in pay or telling him that you will tell Sile he is looking to cheat
her of money is not the way to go with this. Instead you need to tell him to
double the amount, this will open more dialogue.
Use the Axii Sign to try to get the amount doubled. This will not only double
the reward, but also gets you the HAGGLING ATTRIBUTE once the Kayran is
defeated.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.15 - The Scent of Incense
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head around the corner down the pier from the merchants area. As the dock turns
to the right and then back to the left you will find Vencei Pugg, he has an
offer for you. He wants you to get a formula from a vendor to prove that he
sells harmful incense for some Oren. Head back in to the town square.
You will now see an angry mob just outside the vendor's spot to start another
quest that branches from this one.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.16 - Little Shop of Dreams
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head over to the mob and talk to them to find that the people want you to close
down the shop because they suspect it is selling drugs. They offer Geralt a
reward for confirming the suspisions and closing it down. The reward is only
going to be 20 Orens, head over to talk to the shop keeper. You will want to
buy any formulas from him at this point if you are interested. There isn't
really much here to bother with.
If you say "I see.", you are able to walk away and come back later.
Your best option is to try "I know there's something exceptional about it..."
You then have three options to decide the fate of the shop, as the last option
lets you walk away and come back later.
If you say "I believe you.", the shop will remain open.
If you say "Why would you want to poison your neighbors?", persuades him in to
closing the shop down.
If you say "I'll be back tomorrow - with Loredo", will intimidate him in to
closing the shop down.
If you close the shop and haven't asked about the formula yet he will
automatically give you the formula you ask for when you talk to him next. This
helps with the core quest - "The Scent of Incense".
Your best option is to use "I'll be back tomorrow - with Loredo", this also
unlocks an ACHIEVEMENT! You will also get the real formula for "The Scent of
Incense".
@Achievement Unlocked - Intimidator
Now talk to the mob and gather up your 20 Orens!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.17 - The Scent of Incense Continued
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back to the dock and talk to Vencel Pugg at his waiting spot.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ Best Option $
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The best option to say is "Yup.", this will continue the quest.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ Bad Option $
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If you say "I'm not about to give it to you.", Pugg will get angry and leave.
You will find him with four bandits ready to ambush you out in the woods later.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ Best Option Continued$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
With the better option chosen he tells you to meet him at the gate on the
market side. Head over there now and talk to him at the spot designated on your
mini-map.
He will tell you that he has to blind-fold you.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ Best Option $
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Refuse both times he asks to blind fold you. He marks the spot on your map and
heads off for his lab. Go over to the lab and head around to the left to gather
up the items you find including a MOON RUNE.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ No Blindfold - Real Formula "Best" $
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If you gave him the real formula you will get 200 Oren, 85 XP, and the FORMULA:
TAWNY OWL. I went ahead and killed them all anyways, you can then search the
area for more items and get another FORMULA: TAWNY OWL. Ride the boat back to
Flotsam.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ No Blindfold - Fake Formula $
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If you give him the fake formula Pugg will order his men to attack you at this
time. Kill them all and loot the place for the FORMULA: TAWNY OWL. Take the
boat back to Flotsam.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ Blindfold - Real Formula $
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If you agreed to be blindfolded you will be jumped by Puggs men on the way to
the secret lab, they will take all your weapons. You then have to wait while
they test the formula.
If it is real you will be asked to be blindfolded again. If you accept you will
get 200 Oren and the FORMULA: TAWNY OWL; no XP and no chance to loot the place.
If you refuse it is the same outcome as if you were blindfolded and gave the
Fake Formula.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ Blindfold - Fake Formula (And Real Formula with refusing blindfold to exit) $
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Pugg will tell you that you will be kept hostage. You will have to fight your
way out of the secret lab. Destroy the door with the Aard Sign and roll past
the bandits to get the sword leaning on the table. Use it to kill everyone.
You will get 85 XP and the FORMULA: TAWNY OWL from a chest. Now take the boat
back to Flotsam.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Exploring Lobinden
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Head to the village just outside Flotsam where you met Cedric. Loot the area
and houses for random items. Now go in to Anezka's house and look at her shop.
You will want to buy her ENDREGA TEETH, you need 15 of them for your Jagged
Blade to be crafted. You will need to exit the house and re-enter to get her to
refresh her list. Once all 15 are collected, go next door to craft the sword.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.18 - Malena
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head to the north east area of Lobinden to trigger an area where guards are
surrounding a woman talking about Malena. Head in and interupt the guards. Two
of the guards are missing, last seen with her. Tell them "Leave it to me." to
continue the quest. The other option fails you.
Now head to the harbor of Flotsam and go to the north west to find a cave
entrance where the group of guards will wait outside with Malena. Search the
blood spot at the entrance and head in to the cave. Hop down the ledges, pull
your Silver Sword out and cast Quen on yourself. Now get out your bombs to
throw as a huge rush of Nekkers come after you. Axii Sign helps a lot too to
control one of them and they usually get in the way of the other Nekkers.
Once they are all dead loot the chest and body, then examine it. Now head to
the other side and kill some more Nekkers before climbing the ledge to your
left. Follow the blood around a big gap and kill more Nekkers to climb another
ledge.
A few steps in you will find the two guards with Scoia'tel Arrows in them.
Don't bother with the ladders as this only goes to a locked door, head out the
way you came. Save the game and head over to the group to start a cut scene
immediately.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ Lie and say "Monsters killed them." $
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If you choose this option you should complete "In the Claws of Madness" first,
before proceeding.
Malena will thank you and tell you to meet her at the waterfall in the forest.
If you head out to meet her set up traps all over the waterfall area before
talking to her. Once you do talk, she will tell you that you know to much and
a Scoia'tel ambush will happen. Kill them all and loot there bodies for a rare
DHU BLEIDD ARMOR ENHANCEMENT.
Now chase after Malena to the old mansion from the quest "In the Claws of
Madness" and locate her by a pile of rubble, you will find her through the old
main doorway and to your right, just as you walk in to where the old mansion
once stood. You will have a few different dialogues to decide through at this
point when you find her:
"You don't deserve any." gets you 125 XP once you kill her.
"Loredo will judge you." gets you nothing!
"Away with you." - gets you 125 XP
Choose any of the two except giving her to Loredo.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ Tell Truth and say "They were shot. $
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
You will then get two options:
"Let's hear it." and then say "Lead on." to have the whole group lead to the
tree branch where you saw Iorveth and you all get ambushed. This will be easier
than earlier as you have backup. Search the bodies for the DHU BLEIDD ARMOR
ENHANCEMENT.
"I don't believe you." or "Enough of your lies." gets you 125 XP.
The DHU BLEIDD ARMOR ENHANCEMENT is a very good item to find, so re-load and
try again to get it if you don't get it the first time.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.19 - The Nekker Contract
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head to the Notice Board in front of the Inn and take the contract down for
this one. You need to do some research on the monsters, most likely you will
already have the Nekkers in the Mist book from the Prologue.
Visit Cedric and get the formula for the Grapeshot Bomb if you didn't already
have it. Now Meditate and create 4 bombs. You must now go to the south of the
large tree you see on the south east corner of the town map to get on to a path
and take it to the right to see a circular path (on your mini-map). Go left on
it and fight the Nekkers until they slow down the respawn, plant a bomb by
pressing the action button when prompted. Remember that using your medallion
will help you find them. You should be inbetween two trees on the main map now
just near the fork in the road.
Now head east towards the tree on the right and circle around the base of it
for two more nekker nests. Once these two are destroyed you will have one left.
Head due south from the tree and cross the creek. If you reach the waterfall,
go to the east side and a few feet to the north to start a fight with some
Nekker's just outside there nest. While you are out here disarm five traps you
come across and interrupt Geralt from succeeding by activating your medallion.
This will unlock the SAPPER ATTRIBUTE.
Once all four nests are destroyed head back in to town and go in to Louis Merse
home to have a talk with him about the reward of 75 XP and 150 Orens.
I have uploaded a map I found to help you visualize the locations easier:

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.20 - In The Claws of Madness
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Once you have talked to Cedric about the quest, head out to the house in the
woods. You will meet Rupert just before getting to the mansion. As you two are
talking you will be stormed by Nekker's. Head around to the left to kill off
more Nekkers as they approach. Activate the Circle of Power just before you
find the dog dead on the ground. Now wrap around and head down the stairs to
the room below.
Now head in to the next room for a cut scene where a spectre comes out with
fire coming from all the cells. Head around the corner and jump down in to the
next room. Here you will want to oil your sword with Spectr Oil and drink some
Petri's Philtre. Now grab the HOSPITAL FILES (III) from the chest on your right
and kill the two spectres that appear. Once they are killed a fire will
extinguish at the door, head through after you collect the ESSENCE OF DEATH.
You will see a ghost trying to bust the wall down straight ahead, don't bother
going in as he will just vanish and reappear each time you leave. Go to the
right and move forward for a cut scene. Continue after the spectre as the fire
dies straight ahead when approached. Use your Quen Sign to protect yourself
from the fire as you head around to the left. Head up the steps at the end and
pass two ghosts that won't hurt you.
Now head down some steps at the other end and drop down in to a room with some
Wraiths to fight. Loot the room for a ROBUST CUTLASS and HOSPITAL FILES (I).
Now head through the only exit out and on the corner you can examine a drawing
on the wall. Use Aard Sign just to the right of this drawing to blast open the
wall where someone sealed it up. Inside you can find a random armor
enhancement.
As you head around two corners you will run in to the second missing person you
are looking for. He is a bit dillusional and needs some medicine. Prepare for
another Wraith battle and head towards the fire, take a right just before it.
As you approach the far table kill the Wraith that spawns and then turn around
to kill another Wraith that spawns after the first one is dead. Now head over
to the table to grab the medicine. Get in to the next room to loot the chest
for HOSPITAL FILES (II) along with documents on the Wild Hunt. Head back and
hand him the medicine to watch a cut scene.
After the cut scene the fire dies out and the other survivor runs away. Head in
to where the fire just was and watch a cut scene to find out what the spectre
wants. Head back the way you came to locate Gridley waiting for you, and talk
to him to get teleported out. You now have to decide how to solve this quest.
Choosing "You need to see something. Come with me." will have them go down in
to the basement and burst in to flames. You get 100 XP, loot the bodies for 60
Orens a piece, another copy of the ROBUST WITCHER'S SILVER SWORD (You should
already have this), and the curse is lifted. Search the chest nearby for
HOSPITAL FILES (IV) which will then unlock an ACHIEVEMENT!
Choosing "The ghost wants you dead." is the better choice. You will get two
pairs of Nekker Eyes and Nekker Hearts and you must head back through the
basement to reach the wraith at the end again. Prepare for a battle with the
Wraith using some Spectre Oil and talk to him when you are ready. He will
know they are false regardless of whether you use Nekker or Pig parts. Fight
him a little easier than the previous Wraiths you have encountered and loot it
for HOSPITAL FILES (IV). After the battle an ACHIEVEMENT will unlock.
@Achievement Unlocked - Librarian
Now go speak to Rupert and Gridley when you are done to decide what to do with
them.
If you choose "You have to be punished." Geralt will take them to Loredo. This
choice reveals something about Loredo's mother that you will never hear through
the other decision. You will also get 100 XP.
Choosing "Now, go away" isn't the best decision as you won't get any XP for it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.21 - Troll Trouble
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head over to the Notice Board just outside the Inn and take the notice off the
board for this quest. Now head out to the spot to find a man fighting off a
group of Nekkers with an oar. Help him and then he will tell you what has been
happening at the bridge. He will ask that you first talk to Chorab in Lobinden
before you decide the fate of the Troll.
Head back to Lobinden and find Chorab usually sleeping against a building near
the central area with a fire. He tells you that he is only leaving the bridge
screwed up because he started drinking, and Geralt is asked to help the Troll.
Now head back to the bridge and drop down the side of the bridge from ledge to
ledge to get to the lair. Talk to the Troll and no matter what is said he will
start to attack you.
Once you get his HP down halfway he will ask you to stop. Now you must decide
a big decision. This decision is for two seperate achievements...To spare or to
kill ALL Trolls in the game. Due to the game having mulitple endings...EIGHT at
that, you have to branch your story to help make it easier for you to get these
achievements. Once you get them both it doesn't matter what you decide to do.
Kill the Trolls achievement, you will want to side with Roche later; otherwise
choose the other side if you want to get the achievement for sparing them.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ Killing the Troll $
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If you decide to kill the troll say "Not good enough" and continue the fight.
Once you kill the troll head back to Louis Merse for your reward. You will get
50 Orens and 125 XP. Now remember that if you have not received the secret
achievement for killing all trolls, you should stick with this decision!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$ Helping the Troll $
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If you want to help the poor alcoholic say "What's with the heavy drinking?".
The second response doesn't matter what you say as Geralt wants to help find
the killers for him. Now head back in to town and talk to Zoltan at the Inn.
Ask him why anyone would want a troll's head. Now go back outside the front of
the Inn and up the stairs to Sile's room to talk to her. Ask her if troll heads
are used in alchemy.
Now head in to Lobinden just outside Flotsam and speak to Sendler. You will
find him inside the his house located just behind the house in front of the
fire pit that a lot of people gather around. Inside you will be able to examine
the Female Troll's head. Ask him "Where'd you get the she-troll's head?". He
will tell Geralt that Dmitri sold it to him. One of Dmitri's people will be at
the Inn after dark. Now ask for the head back and he offers to play you in dice
poker for it. Play him in a game of Dice Poker for the Troll's Head, you will
have to complete the "Poker Face: Flotsam" quest first. Once you win choose the
She-troll's head.
Now head over to the Inn and meditate until after midnight. Head inside and go
downstairs to the room where you play dice and fight. Talk to the man in the
middle of the room standing by the barrel. Either intimidate him or fistfight
him to get the location of Dmitri.
Now you must prepare for a good fight against Dmitri and his men. Bring Hanged
Man's Venom and oil your blood just before heading over to the cemetary. You
can reach the cemetary by going back out to Lobinden and then heading out in to
the woods at the northern most exit, wrap around to the left and climb the
small hill to reach the cemetary above the village. Keep Quen up and take down
the lackies first. Loot all of the bodies, including the elven spy. You will
retrieve REPORT FOR THALER, DMITRI'S LETTER OF SAFE PASSAGE, and BANDIT HIDEOUT
KEY. Now head back to the troll.
Hand over the head and the troll will hand you the DIAGRAM: HUNTER'S ARMOR. Now
tell him you found the murderer's. Now head back to Lobinden and talk to Chorab
for your reward. You will have to either accept half the payment promised or
intimidate him in to giving you the rest.
###############################################################################
Raid the bandit hideout
###############################################################################
If you helped the troll and took the key from Dmitri's body you can access the
bandit's hideout. Head back down in to the water where you met the troll and go
to the right. Before reaching the dead end in the river head up the ruins on
the left and go along the right edge to get back on to land. Head down the
hill on the other side and start fighting through some Bandits.
In the far back guarded by a lot of Bandit's you will locate a locked house
that uses the key you found. Kill them all off and then head inside to loot the
place. There isn't anything to special here though.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.22 - The Endrega Contract
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You should be powerful enough to perform this quest now. Head to the notice
board near the Inn and take this paper off the board. You will now want to go
purchase the book on Endrega from Einar Gausel, now read it to learn about the
enemies you are about to face. Now stock up on traps as you will have to fight
some larger Queen verions of the Endrega.
Take the side path along the river out of Lobinden. Head all the way forward
through Nekkers and take a right when the trees block your path to find
Endrega's protecting large green pods. Kill the Endrega and then set up a load
of traps all around. Once you feel secure open all three pods to destroy the
insides. Once all three are destroyed a queen will come out to attack you. Get
the queen to get caught on a trap and then start attacking her. If you have
Insectoid oil for your blade go ahead and use it.
Looking at your main map you should be at the large tree just below the middle
of the town. You now want to head east to the river to find the waterfall. Now
head north up along the path and you will pass a destroyed wagon with dead
bodies. In a few feet away from this Endrega will attack you as the nursery is
a few more feet up and to the right. Repeat the tactics here on the second
queen.
Once both queens are killed head back to Louis Merse for your reward. You will
get the DIAGRAM: SUPERB WITCHER'S SWORD, 200 Orens, and 75 XP. The diagram is
for the best Silver Sword you can get in Chapter 1, it is recommended to make
it at this time. By now you should be or are very close to reaching Level 10
which unlocks an ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - Journeyman

2.03.23 - The Kayran: A Matter of Price
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now do as you were told a few hours ago and head to the harbor to talk to the
merchants about the Kayran and the price of completing the quest.
Asking for an advance gets you 200 Orens now but gets you a small pay out over
all.
If you ask him to double your fee he will think its rediculous. You will now
want to use the Axii option "You'll double the reward.". This will later help
unlock the Haggling attribute.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now head east out of the town and village heading deeper in to the forest. You
will need your standard weapon ready to kill off the Bandits patrolling these
roads. The second group of Bandits up the road by the fire has a chest of 50
Orens. Continue up the path to locate Triss, so this is where she's been
waiting!
Get out your Silver Sword now and follow Triss down to the Kayran's Lair. As
you hop down two more ledges and seeing some footprints Geralts Medallion will
react. You can see why in the distance as a load of Drowners ambush you. Its
best to oil the blade with necrophage oil and use Quen Signs often. Once they
are all killed head over to the mucus on the cliff edge and collect some. Triss
will cast an examination spell on the mucus to find out the monster is sick and
dying due to being mutated quickly....by someone's magic perhaps?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.25 - Mystic River
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Since we are already over by the ship go over to it and scan the area with the
Medallion. Just at the lip of the ship you will find a skeleton on the left,
when you search it the quest will activate; you also get a key.
Now loot the barrel near the Skeleton and then head to the right side of the
tipped over ship to unlock a chest with some documents and crafting materials.
Read the two documents and then you must find a Royal Post Mailbox. Now head
back to Flotsam.
Once inside Flotsam head over to Louis Merse's house and go over to his desk.
Search the little chest on it to drop the papers off. Now talk to Louis about
the postbox and use Axii to take a look inside. You will unlock the CONJUROR
ABILITY at this time. Drop the mail off and take the other letter out to review
it.
This quest will continue later in the game.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.26 - The Kayran: Ostmurk
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head over to Lobinden and speak to Cedric about the Ostmurk to help in your
battle. He will tell you that the moss will grow in a cave deep in the woods
beneath some elven ruins.
Now head out to the good old waterfall you may have seen a few times and look
behind it for a cave if you haven't already looked. Head down in to the depths
where, depending on the time of day, you will find Nekkers, Drowners, or
Scoia'tael.
When the path comes to the first split in the path you can locate some ROBUST
WELL-BALANCED DAGGERS. At the second split in the path climb up the one on the
right to continue further in to the cave. Take the next right to grab a MAIL
ARMOR ENHANCEMENT. Headig further in you will face a Greater Rotfiend. Oil
your Silver Sword with necrophage oil along with casting Quen. Once the monster
is killed you will need to roll away to avoid its explosive poisonous body.
Now head over to the bright blue glowing moss and collect the OSTMURK. Now
meditate and go in to your Alchemy to create at least one Mongoose potion.
This quest will finish when you use the Mongoose Potion at the start of the
Kayran fight.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
It is finally time to take on the beast everyone at the harbor is worried

about. Head over to Cedric and purchase DIAGRAM: KAYRAN TRAP and craft it if
you collected the Iron Frame during the sneaking section at Loredo's compound.
You may have to go see Berthold Candeleria in the Non-Human district blacksmith
shop for Silver Ore if you don't have any on you. You will need the Kayran Trap
part you found, 2 Oil, 1 Iron Ore, and 1 Silver Ore to make it.
Now head over to the Inn and go upstairs from the front of the building. Go
inside the second door to find Sile to talk to, tell her you are ready. The
game will then load you out deep in the forest with Sile. Head over to the edge
and drink the Mongoose Potion here, then drop down the ledges just before the
bridge on the right. Soon a cut scene will start as you make your way back to
the ship.
At this time being just level 10 or so you will only be able to take about
three to four hits from this boss. DO NOT try to go around to the back of the
Kayran as it will sweep you back in front of it and start a really deadly combo
on you! Also DO NOT go to far back or else you will get caught in swamp weeds
and have to quickly press the interaction buttons that pop-up on the screen to
get free of them!
You want to start by eliminating tentacles from the massive beast. Roll out of
the way of the tentacle the beast always raises right away to smash down on
you. If you get inbetween the two tentacles right in front of you, it will back
up and spit a poison at you. Since you drank the Mongoose Potion the poison
will not hurt you. Now run over to the yellow marker located on the field and
place the Kayran Trap here by pressing the button indicated on the screen when
you are standing in the spot. Once the Kayran slams down on the trap you will
unlock an ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - Artful Dodger
The Kayran's health will now reduce one-third of the way. Quickly get in front
of the now severed tentacle and wait for the Kayran to stop its temper tantrum
of pain. Once the tantrum is over use the Yrden Sign somewhat near another
tentacle. Wait for it to slam down on the ground and roll out of the way as the
tentacle becomes stuck. Now with the Silver Sword slash at the tentacles
bulging spot to sever the tentacle. This will reduce the health to half now.
Use Yrden one more time on the great beast to destroy a third tentacle, the
health will now come down to one third left at this point.
As the Kayran throws another tantrum, this time it will swing one of its
remaining tentacles horizontally catching Geralt on it. You will then need to
mash the button prompted on the screen to fill the bar allowing Geralt to stab
the tentacle. The creature will then smash against the bridge causing it to
fall on to it.
At this time the fallen bridge becomes a sloped ramp that you will need to roll
up. Once at the top a cut scene starts up and Geralt kills the Kayran. You gain
1,750 XP and unlock an ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - Kayranslayer

@AKA in some versions - Oh My God! You Killed the Kayran! You Bastards!
Head over to the main body on the right side and collect the items off the
body.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.28 - The Kayran: A Matter of Price Continued
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back to the harbor and speak to the merchant you negotiated with earlier.
You will gain anywhere from 500 to 1,000 Orens. Also if you talked him in to
doubling the amount to 1,000 Orens you will unlock the HAGGLING ABILITY. You
will also receive the DIAGRAM: KAYRAN SKIN ARMOR.
Go craft this item now and get other things upgraded as you wish.
14 Robust Cloth
6 Hardened Leather
1 Kayran Skin
8 Twine
Once the armor is completed you will unlock an ACHIEVEMENT in about a minute
once the game realizes you crafted it.

2.03.29 - The Assassins of Kings
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
When you head away from the merchant Triss will teleport in and tells you that
someone adjunct with Iorveth is on the prisoner boat and Geralt wants to speak
to him. Follow Triss out to the ship and talk to the soldiers to be let on the
ship. Head below and to the opposite end to start a cut scene. Now cast the
Axii Sign on him by repeatably tapping the button to cast the spell.
It doesn't matter what options you choose here to go through the conversation.
Near the end try to use a method of convincing that you haven't used much to
help level it up.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.30 - Returning Memories
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Once the conversation with Ciaran is over, Geralt will have another clue opened
to his past. Triss will tell him that with just a single petal of the Rose he
can get his memories fully restored.
You must now decide whether to take Triss with you on the trip to look for the
Rose or not to. If you take her with you can unlock a love scene between the
two of them soon as well as unlocking an attribute when she comes with.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.31 - The Rose of Remembrance
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Either follow Triss if she is tagging along or go talk to Cedric for

information on the location.
Talking to Cedric makes you fetch him some Vodka and drink with him, you will
have a drunken screen effect making it a little difficult to navigate the
monster infested woods, or you will have to give him Orens for him to buy the
Vodka himself.
Once you make it to the waterfall you will find the marker on the mini map
indicating the path leading up the to the gardens, or Triss will automatically
know where to go.
If Triss is not with you, you must pick the Rose and head back to the Inn to
hand it over to Triss. You will gain no XP or any boosts with this method.
If Triss is with you head up the path she chooses and grab the flower to give
to her. Climb up the many ledges and you will soon reach the Elven Baths. Now
take the Rose and hand it to Triss. Soon after three bandits from town will
come up and talk about removing the statue to put in the Chancellors new
garden. Triss steps in to stop them and a fight begins, kill them all with your
standard sword. Don't forget to use Quen since Triss seems to have a hard time
throwing fireballs at the right people...
After another cut scene the two of you will fall through the ground to the
Elven Baths. Save your game here so you can watch the Love scene once, but it
is best to pass it up in the long run. Turn to Geralts right and loot the chest
and plants. Read the book on The Wild Hunt. Now talk to Triss and make a
decision.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Love Scene - No Resistance to Magic Attribute %
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
If you want the love scene say "You could use a bath."...this however has a
drawback of not getting the powerful Resistance to Magic Attrbute. Follow it up
with "I can't" to get the quest XP. You then see a cut scene where Triss and
Geralt have a love scene while two elves and a dwarf walk up top and see the
dead bodies. Once the cut scene ends Triss will tell you not to get caught up
in things when your memory returns. Anything you say doesn't matter until the
end of the conversation. Be sure to pick "I can't". This option gets you the
quests XP and most likely will level you up again. Roche will then smash
through the wall in to the bath house and help you out of the area.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% No Love Scene - Helps Unlock Resistance to Magic Attribute %
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
If you decide to skip the love scene for the Resistance to Magic Attrbute say
"Nothing. Let's get out of here." This will then skip the love scene and you
will then have another conversation that is the same at this point for either
choice you picked. Triss will tell you not to get caught up in things when your
memory returns. Anything you say doesn't matter until the end of the
conversation. Be sure to pick "I can't". This option gets you the quests XP and
most likely will level you up again. Now you will be allowed to use Aard Sign
on the opposite corner to blow open the wall and get back to the surface. As
you reach the top you will over hear a conversation that you would have heard
from the cut scene in the love scene, but instead you will interrupt them.
Now head to the opposite side of the room where you first fell in and use Aard
Sign on the wall when it prompts you to get an opening you can climb through.
As you head up you will over hear the elves and dwarf that were above your
location as you interrupt them. Try the "Let us leave in peace." option and
then tell them to fight you for the best outcome.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now head back to town and meet up with Zoltan back at the Inn. Ask him about
Iorveth and he will arrange you to meet him. Shortly after Zoltan will bring
you to a pillar and a cut scene will start, the elves ask you to meet Iorveth
at a clearing. Zoltan then explains to Geralt that this is a known trap, but
Geralt wants to go anyways.
Put Insectoid Oil on the Silver Sword and head out to the clearing, make sure
to activate the three circles along the way to boost your powers. Use the Quen
Sign at all times and dodge-roll around to the back of the Arachas and start
wailing on it with the Silver Sword. Try to kill it and loot right away before
the next cut scene starts, if you don't you will lose out on any items it
leaves behind due to a glitch, with a slight chance it stays.
During this conversation do not say "You're a murderer.", this will trigger a
cut scene of both Zoltan and Geralt die.
If you say "Let Zoltan go.", you don't want to say "Loredo was right about
you."; this will get you killed as well.
You must tell him "Letho wants you dead." to start another cut scene.
Now go through all the dialogue you want to listen too and then say "I need to
do something first." so you don't go automatically in to a difficult battle.
You now have some time to do a few more errands.
Use this time to now search the area for loot. If you didn't get a chance to
loot the dead Arachas earlier, check to see if it is still there. It usually
glitches out and you won't be able to grab the items. Now head back over to
where you jumped down from and look to the right for a path heading through
some bushes. At the entrance to this path on the right you can search and find
the Sword of Kaer Morhen. This is the second best Silver Sword you can find in
Chapter 1.
Now head back to Flotsam and purchase any valuable items they all hold at this
point as it is about time for us to move on with the game very shortly. Once
that is done head over to Lobinden and talk to Anezka.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Ask Anezka "Tell me what you know about this amulet" to start the quest. She
will tell you that there is magic in it and will want to buy it from you.
If you say "I wouldn't mind selling it" a cut scene will start up and she
settles for 200 Orens. If you accept it by saying "I want to get rid of it."
Geralt gets 200 Orens and 50 XP.
Saying "I've changed my mind" stops the cut scene and sale.
Saying "It must be precious to you." starts another cut scene, then use the
persuasion option "A customer like me doesn't come along often....". If you are
successful she will tell you that the talisman is actually Melitele's Heart, a
potent protective amulet that was cursed. She will then tell you that she
thinks she can reverse the spell using a Troll's Tongue, Eyes of an Arachas,
Fetus of Endrega, and the essence of death.
Troll Tongue - Get from Troll Trouble quest by killing and looting the body or
buy it from Cedric
Eyes of Arachas - Get from the previous quest fighting the Arachas
Fetus of Endrega - From looting Endrega or during the Endrega Contract (Known
as Endrega Embryo)
Essence of Death - Get during the quest In the Claws of Madness
Once you have the ingredients head back to Anezka and ask about the talisman
and ask more about the ritual. Ask her if she can perform the ritual and she
tells Geralt to meet her at midnight over at the Shrine to Veyopatis. Make sure
you have some Spectre Oil and get some Fury Traps to spread out around the area
of where Anezka meets you. Its best to use some Mutagens and place a Fire Rune
in your Silver Sword as well.
Head over and meet her in the woods, then tell her you are ready.and she will
start the ritual. You must protect her from Spectres that appear trying to stop
her from fixing the talisman. Keep them focsed on you and use Quen whenever it
runs out.
Once Anezka says she has done it, the wraiths will stop. Go back and talk to
her asking if there is "Succeeded?" she will hand over the talisman which is
now named MELITELE'S HEART. It now gives you a Vitality Regen of +1. You will
also get 125 XP for completing the quest.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now it is time to head over to meet up with Iorveth and talk with Letho. Climb
the path to the left of the waterfall and climb up a ledge just before Iorveth
to start a cut scene. Simply move forward with Iorveth bound like a prisoner
and go in to the area where you and Triss were at a little while ago to meet
Letho.
There is a huge decision at this point that influences the story in Chapter 2.
You have to either give Iorveth his sword and side with him or help Roche. If
you side with Roche he will give you more XP.
Regardless of what is said you will have to make your decision and help either
person, then fight Letho. You must use Yrden and any traps that you have to
catch him off guard. Don't go to far away or else he will throw a bomb, use
Aard, or Igni on you. Just set the traps and then hack away at him when he is
caught. Get his life down to halfway and you will win the fight. After the
cut scene whoever you sided with in the battle will come check on you.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.35 - Where is Triss Merigold? - Sided with Iorveth
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Run back to Flotsam and you will find the village in a burning mess. Head to
the Inn as soon as you arrive. When you reach the town square you will see that
the humans have revolted against the nonhuman district attacking them. You can
interrupt a group of humans beating up a dwarf. Stop a few more situations any
way you feel and then enter the Inn.
Deal with another situation inside the Inn to stop a small group from killing
two elves inside. Then talk to Dandelion to figure out where Triss is. Now head
to Sile's room back outside and up the stairs. As you leave the Inn again
another mob will appear at the far end. Now head upstairs and in to her room
for a cut scene. Look around for clues and you will find a peephole leading to
the Brothel. Leave the room and go next door to speak to the Madam.
Speak to Margot for a cut scene and then you will be in control of Triss as she
talks to Philippa. After the cut scene you gain control of Geralt again to ask
questions and watch cut scenes. Margot will then tell Geralt to hand Iorveth a
list of Derae's killers. Choose the top option if you accept it.
Now head out to the forest on your way back over to the elven ruins. Use Cat
Potion to track the spots of Cedric's blood, or use the Medallion to see spots
on the ground every so often. You will find his body around the lake, when you
walk up near him you will start a cut scene. You will now receive 900 XP after
the cut scene.
You must now decide to either join Roche or Iorveth, this choice branches the
story towards four endings on both sides. This is a great place to SAVE YOUR
GAME to reload later and get all the endings. Skip to 39 or 40 to continue on.
You can choose which person to go see in the Journal!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.36 - Where is Triss Merigold? - Sided with Roche
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Follow Roche back to Flotsam, when you reach the square you will find that they
are throwing a feast. Either drink and get wasted while trying to find Triss or
decline for now. Head over to the Inn and go inside while Dandelion is talking
about you. Once again drink some more or turn it down. Dandelion will have a
key to Sile's place, follow him up the stairs.
Head inside the room to find a big bloody mess. Check around the room and find
the peephole to the brothel. Head back outside and over to the next door and
talk to Derae. She explains what her and Margot saw as a flash back begins.
Triss will be talking to Dethmold, a sorcerer for King Henselt. Go through the
information until you find out that Margot is missing and Cedric staggered off
in to the forest, most likely his blood.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.37 - Margot's Disappearance
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head inside the Inn and go downstairs to enter the room where the Dice Poker
and fist fighting is going on. Go straight across the room through the other
door to reach the Brothel. Head in to the first door on the right to find that
Margot has hung herself. You can find her suicide note at her feet, she was
Iorveth's informant.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.38 - Where is Triss Merigold? - Sided with Roche Continued
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back outside of the Inn and either use a Cat Potion or Geralt's medallion
to see the blood on the ground. Leave through the side gate out to Lobinden.
Wrap around to the right in to the forest and get your Steel Sword ready as a
unit of Scoia'tael attacks you. Make your way over to the waterfall to locate
Cedric dying near the water.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.39 - At a Crossroads: Vernon Roche
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back to Flotsam and seek out Roche at the Blue Stripes Head Quarters. Talk
to him about what he learned new to move the story along. Then say "All right,
let's do it your way." to fully join Roche.

2.03.40 - Death to the Traitor!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Best Way Inside
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Head back to the Nekker Cave just outside the harbor area and enter it. Go all
the way through fighting your way deep in to the cavern to locate a ladder that
a guard will start to climb down. Kill him and then climb up the ladder to go
through the trap door at the top. You will be in the area where you found the
Kayran Trap Part. Talk to a girl named Helen here and get 400 XP for using this
method to get in to the compound.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Standard Way Inside
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Get to a vendor or store most of your items in the Inns basement since you will
be ablto grab a lot of loot out of the compound. Now head over to the alley
designated as the meeting spot at night for a cut scene. Climb the ladder and
walk across the board to drop in to the compound.
Wait in this spot for a merchant to come by looking for a girl named Helen.
When he has his back turned towards you, knock him out. Now quietly walk around
to the right and wait for the guard walking around with the torch to walk away.
Carefully go around the corner and there may be another guard taking a pee
break just to your right. Knock him out and quickly get over to and hide by the
stack of logs straight ahead. When the next guard with a torch on your right
starts to walk away from you, sneak up from behind and knock him out.
Take the key off this knocked out guards body and go through the door over here
to find Helen, get up to her to start a cut scene. She tells you that Ves was
taken to a tower, Geralt frees her and now you must find Loredo's mother.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Paths Combined
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Climb the scaffolding to the left of where Helen was standing and then jump in
to the open window. A cut scene will start up showing whats going on in the
tower at the same time as you getting in to the house.
Carefully make your way around the kitchen and over to the door at the opposite
end to see where a guard is patrolling, wait for him to turn his back and then
knock him out. Now head through the door on the left and wrap around the corner
for a cut scene that has a Quick Time Event (QTE) on certain difficulties. Wait
around the room looting it as the effects of the fisstech wears off. You will
find the key on her body.
Now head up the stairs for a cut scene on whats happening to Ves at the same
time. Take the door at the end of the hall, NOT the door on the right. Now wait
for a guard to come out of the room and look out the window, knock him out. Now
carefully head in to the room a little bit and steal from the small chest on
your right for LOREDO'S LETTER. Its best to also kill the two guards in the
room. Head up the stairs and carefully enter the next room. You must sneak
through this first bed chamber and in to the next room to open the chest for a
key to the tower. Now climb the stairs up another level.
Enter the next room at the top of the stairs to see Ves in the distance and
Loredo not around. Be careful as you will have to hit a button as he charges
you with a spear, this again depends on your difficulty. Attack him and roll
out of the way when he swings the spear around. Keep on him with light attacks
to get him in to a corner and then you can usually just mash the botton to
attack him and kill him off really quickly. Now head over to Vess and release
her.
Loot the room and then check the other door to find Moril laying in the bed on
the left. She has been locked up here and is pregnant. Now head down the stairs
and then a cut scene will start as her water breaks. Ves takes her back up the
stairs to deliver the baby as guards appear below. Head down and deal with them
and then continue down the stairs. After passing through the mothers room take
the door on your left to join Roche and his men.
Roche will tell Geralt they ran in to a problem and then a cut scene will
start. You take control as Roche in a battle against Iorveth. Just run away
from his swings and then hit him a few times to get him to give up. You will
now unlock an @ACHIEVEMENT!

2.03.41 - At a Crossroads: Scoia'tael
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This quest can come to you in two different ways. If you sided with Iorveth at
the fight and handed him a sword he will meet you right after Cedric dies. Tell
Iorveth he can count you in.
If you sided with Roche during the fight you will meet Dandelion and Zoltan
after Cedric dies. You will have to head up the path just to the left of the
waterfall to reach the Elven Ruins where the rose was. Talk to Zoltan to the
left of the statue as you walk in the entrance door. Have him give the signal
and then you are told to meet at the river bend at midnight.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.03.42 - The Floating Prison
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head to the meeting spot and you will be told that two groups will be attacking
from different angles. Head back up the path and follow your group past
Flotsam's gates. As you wrap around the corner some guards will attack and then
climb the ledge to lad in to another area.
As you wrap around the bend to the right another group of guards will be
waiting for you to slaughter. Head to the right and drop down the ledge, move
forward to start a cut scene. Now continue along the ledge hugging to the right
and climb up, not down, to reach the front side of Flotsam for a cut scene.
Head down the path a little bit and drop down to the shore. Mow down the guards
as you make your way over to the ship. Get on the ship itself and kill the
remaining guards.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
If you want to use this opportunity to get branched stories so you don't have
to play through the whole thing again THIS IS THE SPOT TO SAVE A SEPERATE FILE!
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Now go to the far side of the ship and free Iorveth as he is tied up to watch a
cut scene.
Loredo sets a house full of elven women on fire, Geralt decides he will not let
them die and jumps off the boat. You can either free the women or go kill
Loredo, depending on which you choose will determine which two endings you can
work towards at the end of the game; a total of four endings to work on!
To free the women, run past all of the townsfolk as they ask you to save all the
women. As you wrap around to the watch tower you must fight off more guards at
the entrance, then head inside. Climb up both ladders quickly as the fire will
start to spread and burn you if you don't move fast enough. Once at the top
start releasing the three women by selecting them and tapping the action prompt
to untie them. Watch a cut scene.
To kill Loredo, run past all the townsfolk asking you to free the women and do
not turn towards the watch tower. Instead continue after Loredo as he runs over
to the townsquare. You will meet a part of the townsfolk that do not like
Geralt and you will have to fight through them and some more guards. Once
inside the townsquare you will find Loredo up on the gallows while his best men
are on the ground charging you. Toss a few bombs at them and then go in for the
kill. Once the personal guards are dead you will have to fight the shielded
guard. Once he is dead go after Loredo for an easy kill. Now head back to the
dock and go a little ways up and look to the right to use the rowboat and watch
the cut scene.
Ask about Roche when you get the first chance to get a cut scene and unlock an
ACHIEVEMENT!

2.04.01 - Prelude to War: Kaedwen
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
We start this next chapter as a character named Henselt. After the live talking
head down the hill through the underpass and over to the other people staight
ahead as they greet you, take a left just before you get up to them. If you are
on Dark Mode and want to get the Oathbreaker Dark Armor Set save your game now.
Continue around the bend to reach the outdoor tent for a cut scene.
Say whatever you want for the first option and then when the dragonslayer comes
in you will want to make a decision on what to do.
Saying "Silence, Dethmold" you can duel Saskia one on one by saying "I'll
fight."; Saying "My plans for you are altogether different" you start a large
battle between the two forces.
Saying "Will you threaten me as well?" with a little cut scene and then you
will have to choose another option from the three first options.
Saying "You're taking a great risk" opens more dialogue. "I've heard enough"
starts the mass battle and "I will hear you out" gives you a duel offer.
Whatever you choose you will have to do battle, the one-on-one battle is the
easiest of them all.
Once it is done the game goes in to a cut scene. You will now regain control of
Geralt and have to fight off the Wraiths. After fighting through a dozen or so
Wraiths you will fight Draugirs. Make sure to loot at least one of them before
killing the second, these items are needed for Dark Mode Armor Set Oathbreaker.
Once they are killed another cut scene will start and just like when Triss
protected you from the arrows, only easier.
Walk with the group and kill off any Wraiths that get through the barrier. Soon
some shaman Wraiths will stop Dethmolds power and you must go kill them quickly
to get the barrier back up. Continue walking along the path again fighting off
any of the enemies that manage to get through. Shortly after again more Wraiths
will slow Dethmolds power, take them out and move on as the eclipse is almost
over. As you make it to the final stretch Wraiths will stop him again just
before reaching the safety of the fort. Make sure to fight quickly and kill
both Draugir that appear so you can loot them and get the Draugmir Armor
Fragment. THis battle seems to be timed and if you don't swing fast enough you
may have to reload the autosave to try again for it...of course it is only
needed on Dark Mode difficulty.
If you are on Dark Mode and want to make the Oathbreaker Set of Dark Armor
check your inventory at this time and make sure you picked up a Draugmir Armor
Fragment. If you didn't get one from the Draugir that attacked in the field
reload and try again. You have another chance with a special Bullvore later on
as well, but it is best to get it now so you can create it as soon as possible.
The Bullvore seems to barely drop this item, so it is best to get it now.
After another cut scene Geralt has to follow the gate guard to the forts tavern
which turns in to a tour of the camp. He shows you where the Armorer is, the
canteen, circles back out and over to the tournament grounds. After Zyvik gets
his winnings he will take you to a prisoner section where you see a bound elf.
This concludes the tour and awards you with an @ACHIEVEMENT!
Achievement Unlocked - Tourist
Now follow Zyvik up the path to a gate where he leaves you on your own. Now
search the tents and the area for items and then go to the group of people
standing outside the tent at the end to find Shilard. Talk to him with any
option but don't use the Axii Sign as he is always immune. Now enter the tent
at the end and talk to Henselt, it doesn't matter what you say here either.
After the conversation you are asked to break the curse of the battlefield,
along with 1,000 XP.

Head back to the area where the Canteen was and go to the group of men standing
at the fire and arm wrestle the man on the right. Once you win arm wrestle the
man on the far left. Now head over to the blacksmith tent and talk to the man
just to the left of it to arm wrestle him. Now go back to the upper camp area
where the King is and talk to Adam Pangratt about arm wrestling, win against
him to win the challenge.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.04.03 - Conspiracy Theory
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head over to Dethmold's tent to talk to him. make sure to explore every
talkable line here to get the most out of the story. Also make sure to mention
the line about "What's with the coins?". Now check the bookshelf for THE REALMS
OF THE NORDLINGS.
Now we must do some good deeds around the camp so the guards will let Geralt
talk to the elf prisoner.

2.04.04 - Little Sisters
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In the main section of camp head past the tournament grounds and you will start
a cut scene as a soldier is sucker punched. Talk to him after the cut scene
ends, if at any point he walks away from your insults talk to him again to
continue on. Ask him "Why did you go to the riverside?", "Around what time did
all this happen?", this opens up "I could get rid of that spectre. For a
price.", then responde with "I guess I'll have to." to advance the quest.
Now head out of the camp the way you came in and Zyvik will ask you to find two
soldiers that wandered off. Cross the small bridge to Roche's camp and locate
Liva and talk to her in the Brothel section. Ask her everything on the list to
learn about the area and the hut on the beach. Now head over to the hut by
wrapping around the camp to see the blue tents and cross the river and go in to
the ravine.
Take the first right and you will come out near the beach. As you head towards
the hut you will see a spectre on the beach, approaching it only makes it
vanish. Head over to the hut and you will find nothing inside, so head out back
to the graveyard off to the side. Look for a tombstone marked as Malget's. It
will have an arrow pointing down, a diamond, and an arrow pointing up. Now head
to the side of the hut to find some barrels you can destroy with Aard and
reveal a secret door to descend.
In the secret basement you will find three altars with candles, each marked
with a symbol on the front. Light the Down Arrow, Diamond, and then the Up
arrow to reveal another secret room. Now leave the basement and head down to
the beach. You will be able to speak to a spectre now. You must now decide what
you want to do:
"I kill wraiths." or "I'm a witcher." followed by "You lie. Die." puts you in
to a battle against three spectres with higher than normal health. Once you win
the battle, go talk to Mavrick for your reward of 50 Oren and 50 XP.
"I'm a witcher." followed by "I'll need to check that." lets you go seek out
Mavrick. If you say "The spectre claims you're a murderer." Mavrick runs away.
You will find his torn up body out at the beach and the spectres will summon a
demon to deal with you. When you kill it you gain the diagram to the BEST steel
sword in the game called "MAHAKAMAN SIHIL". This is the only way to obtain it,
no XP and no Orens. You also fail the quest this way.
The other option is to say "I'm a witcher." followed by "I'll need to check
that." Go talk to Mavrick and tell him "I need your help to drive the spectres
off". Now head back to the hut and get Mavrick to follow you down to the beach.
Now say "I need to ask you something" followed by "Tell the truth". If you turn
against him here the three spectres fight him alongside you, then you fight the
demon and get the sword diagram, failing the quest. If you side with Mavrick,
the two of you fight the three spectres. You will gain 300 XP with no Orens
even though it is in the cut scene.
Its up to you in the end, either feed an innocent man to the demons for a sword
diagram or get your 300 XP. The truth is he did not kill the women...he is
actually the three girls brother. The father had killed the daughters because
the knights had raped them.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.04.05 - Lost Lambs
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head across the river from the blue striped tents and take a right to get to
the beach. Wrap around to an opening where a cut scene will start and you will
have found the two soldiers that are missing. Tell the two soldiers you will
help them, but first Geralt wants to look around the area.

2.04.06 - The Blood Curse
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head over to the center of the area where the wooden wheel is and explore the
area. You will then get a prompt to examine a lot of things, go down the list
and take the SQUARE COINS, LETTER, and the RUSTY NAIL. Head back to the two
soldiers and talk to them but DO NOT hand over the nail.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

and collect your reward.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.04.08 - In Cervisia Veritas
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Back in the fort you most likely have heard and seen up to three drunks yelling
annoyingly, one right by Mavricks beginning spot from "Little Sisters". Talk to
the drunk about Odrin. You must now locate Odrin but must get more information
about him before you head out. Now go to the Canteen area of the fort to talk
to another drunk about Odrin. Once finished with him you need to continue
further back, past the Canteen to reach the third and final drunk; talk to him
about Odrin. (Heading to this third drunk will also trigger a cut scene
starting another quest.
You now must exit through the west gate of the camp which is located next to
the first drunk we talked to in the main fort area. Wrap around down to the
beach and over to the right to locate Odrin sleeping on the ground. Pick him up
and carry him back to the forts gates. The guards will then ask why you are
trying to bring him in to the camp. You must say "He's my prisoner. I need to
question him." to get him inside for free. Now go inside and pick Odrin back up
and you automatically get the first drunk to follow you. Head towards the
Canteen and collect the other two drunks in this area.
Now take them all to the Canteen to start a cut scene. Do not say "I want to
help you" or "Something's awry", this will fail your quest. You will then learn
more about the Square Coins and the conspiracy, this opens further work for the
"Conspiracy Theory" quest.

2.04.09 - Poker Face: Kaedweni Camp
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Talk to the two men right outside the Canteen to learn of other dice players.
You must beat these two in order to advance.
Look for Zyvik, usually asleep to the right of the Canteen or at the south
entrance. Once you win this third match go seek out Madam Carole. She is
usually found at the entrance to the Brothel tent.
Once she is defeated you will be directed to Lasota, go back inside the fort
and over to the area with the Canteen. Head inside the first tent on the right
to locate him. Once you win you are offered to be paid (200 Orens) or something
special which is to pick one of three crafting material diagrams. Best choice
is to choose Hardened Leather or Studded Leather.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.04.10 - Against the Blue Stripes
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Exit through the south entrance of the fort and turn over to the right to reach
Roche's blue tented camp. Head down to the beach around the corner to find some
men fighting and talk to the spectators. You can then get in to a fist fight
competition with them. Defeat two fighters and the third will be Vernon Roche
himself.
Once you win the three fights a man comes up and calls you a snitch saying you
have to fight him.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This quest is unlocked by defeating the three men in "Against the Blue Stripes"
quest. After you defeat him he will tell you to stop looking for the square
coins.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.04.12 - The Butcher of Cidaris
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
When you went to help look for Odrin for the drunks near the Canteen you most
likely activated the cut scene to this quest. Head inside the Canteen and talk
to Manfred in the back right corner. It doesn't matter which options you choose
as you will learn about his son either way. Tell him you will help, now go talk
to Sven. It doesn't matter what you say at this part either as he will agree
regardless.
Now head up the little hill and to the tent on the right to meet Letande Avet
and tell him how its going to be. Tell him you want to fight him to get the
duel set up. Now go back to Sven and talk to him. Say "Let's go get 'em" when
your ready to go.
Use your Signs on Leistham except for Axii as it doesn't have much of an effect
on him; use that on Leistham instead to make things easier. Once finished head
through the door and learn more about the Square Coin, again being directed to
the Brothel with Whistling Wendy.

2.04.13 - Ave Henselt!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Exit the arena and walk around the top near Proximo to start a cut scene where
you will be invited to fight in some night tournaments. Now head back to
Proximo and talk to him about starting a fight during the day. Go through the
four battles fighting each opponent using Quen and Aard alongside your sword
slashes. Your fourth opponent will be Ves. You must win the match so she is
pleased with your skills if you want to sleep with her.
Once you defeat Ves you will unlock an ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - Gladiator
Now head out of the fort and over to the blue stripes campsite. Find and speak
to Ves, you need to make sure and say "That was a Great Duel" followed by "I
also feel like using this opportunity." Once you make it inside the tent tell
her "She's both brave and beautiful" and follow up with "I like that idea".
You will unlock another ACHIEVEMENT.
@Achievement Unlocked - Heartbreaker
This will also finish the quest.

2.04.14 - From a Bygone Era
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now we should finish up a quest that we found from the hut on the beach a
little while ago. Head back in to the fort and go to the upper section where
the king is. Now seek out Dethmold and ask him to read the notes you found. He
asks to buy them from you, refuse and keep them for later.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.04.15 - Rotfiend Contract
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This is the last optional quest available for this area, go to the Notice Board
by the Canteen and grab the paper for this quest to start it. You must rid the
area of Rotfiends by burning corpses found out in the battlefield. Leave the
fort and head out and to the left once you are lined up with the red campsite.
You will run in to some Rotfiends by a merchant wagon, kill them and then burn
the two bodies. Continue a little ways forward to burn a third body.
Now turn around and head past the red campsite and wrap around to the left to
find a group of soldiers fighting off more Rotfiends. Help them deal with the
group and then locate a body below the tower, about 10 feet away. Now look for
a worn path a little further away from the tower and head up the path so you
are going away from the Blue Stripes tent to find a fifth corpse to burn. Now
go further from the tower to the right and locate the sixth body behind a group
of bushes.
Now head back near the fort and go to the right of it past where you just lit
the first three corpses on fire. You will find a notice board aread that just
has a Wanted sign on it, get on the other side of the fissure and go near the
spikes from the fort. You will likely find some soldier's yelling for help and
get a jump in to another quest. Head in and help them, or fight off the enemies
to search the corpses. Now burn the remaining three corpses to finish up the
quest objective. We will turn it in upon our return from the quest that just
started up.
Here is a map with locations with those still having trouble locating them:

2.04.16 - The Path to Vision
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Help the knights fighting off the Rotfiends or if they have all died already
loot there corpses for a note to the visionary. Now head up the hill through
the opening on the right (the left one gets you in to a back way inside the
fortress). Now if you take the next right Geralt will mention that the
medallion is vibrating, head in and kill the Endrega that comes out at you. Now
head around and to the right to find a group of soldiers and a mage that want
to capture you for killing Foltest, take care of them.
Turn back around and when you reach the area where the Endrega was you will
most likely have a lot more of them to fight depending on the time of day. Turn
to the right and head around the bend to the left to find a shrine you can use
the medallion at to get a Circle of Life. Now comb the far side water for a
dead body in the water that you can take the ARBITRATOR Steel Sword from, this
is a really good magical sword to have in your inventory. Now get back on track
with heading over to the Visionaries place.
Now as you head down the path run to the hut as some Haries come flying down
and get inside the circle of candles.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
QUICK OREN EARNING HARPIES
This area is special and will give you a very
quick Harpy regeneration spot to earn Orens
fast. The group of Harpies that spawn here are
hooked to a section from the top of the hill
down to the edge of the candle circle. All you
need to do is run down the hill and turn
around at the ircle of candles, go back up to
the top of the hill and turn around again. As
you descend and climb the hill each time more
Harpies will spawn; kill the Harpies, repeat
running the hill and repeat! Gather up Harpy
Feathers to sell to the shops for some quick
Orens! If you want to shoot for the Miser
achievement it should take under 3 hours of
farming the items and selling them to repeat
the process.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Now head inside and speak to the Visionary, depending on what happened to the
soldiers earlier this part will play out a little differently. You either can
hand him the Orens the soldiers gave you if they were alive. It is best to
keep the money they gave you as the bribe will be less. Now tell him you will
join his religion, don't do the donation.
If the soldiers died just go straight to the joining religion part. He tells
you that you must go to the twin lakes (Where we just were to get the sword)
and drink a potion in the evening before you meditate. Search the hut for
THE VISIONARY'S NOTES II and III. Now head around the corner and find
Sabrina's Shrine where we activated the Circle of Life earlier to start the
ritual. Select the Visionary's Potion and drink it, then return to the playing
screen to go in to a vision.
You will see a gigantic chicken up and to the left of you. Just walk around
and soon it will be over. Geralt awakens on a cliff edge up above the shrine,
take THE VISIONARY'S NOTES I. Now drop off the ledge and go back to the
Visionary to tell him what you have seen. Tell him the truth as he can see past
your lies. Now ask him all the questions to get to where the spear is located
at now.
When you go out to fight the Harpies again you will be very close to getting
another ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - The Butcher of Blaviken
Now head back to the fort by either taking the short cut or through the front
door. Head over to the Canteen and talk to the relic vendor to your right when
you get inside. Sell off your Harpy Feathers and any other items you wish to
get rid of. If you milk the Harpies you can easily unlock an ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - Miser
Now ask about Yohan's Spear and tell him to give you the information on where
it ended up. Now if your intimidation level is high enough use "Tell me, and
we'll part in peace."
Talk to Proximo to collect your reward on the contract.

2.04.17 - Courage Symbolized
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head out to the red brothel tents now and speak to Madame Carole by the large
tent. Tell her you want a romp with one of the girls. Now show her the square
coin and then request Whistling Wendy. Head inside and talk to Whistling Wendy
on the right and say "I want your smile to part the gates of paradise."
Follow her around the corner and drop down the hole she opens up for you. Now
drink some potions and oil your standard steel blade with Hanged Man's Venom.
Enter the door to get in to a big battle. You must fight Traut and five of his
men. While you are fighting the Plotters get there health really low and throw
a Grapeshot in the middle of them to kill a few at once with one bomb to unlock
an ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - Torn Asunder!
Kill off the rest of the enemies and then Geralt believes they were tipped off,
so search the area for clues and take SELTKIRK'S ARMOR from Traut to finish
this quest.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head through the back door and up the stairs to come out of the old tower. Now
head back in to the fort and find Dandelion by the camp fire in the main part
if he isn't at the Brothel fire. Once you find him ask if the letter is his
crap. When you get the answer head up to the upper camp to talk to Dethmold.
Tell him "I found the conspirators and Traut." followed by "Any reward on the
conspirators' heads?" and then say "One can never have too much coin" to get
the reward, but the quest is not over.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
TURN SUBTITLES ON IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING SAID IN THIS PART OF THE
QUEST!
You should now have plenty of respect under Geralt's belt to talk to the
prisoner tied to the log in the main area, you will have to talk to the guards
first before you can talk to him. Choose all the options in any order to get
the information you need.
This is all we can do for this quest at the moment.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back up to Dethmold to say "I need to cross to the other side for the
spear." and "I could use some magic dust." Now head back to the main fort area
and Zoltan will speak with you. Hand him some Vodka and tell him to come with
across the mist. Head over to the Brothel and get in your storage. Drop off and
take neccessary items before you leave since you will not get to go in any
storage units where you are about to head out to.
Now head down the fissure and in to the blue mist. The medallion doesn't work
quite as planned but shows a purple ball flying through the area on the path
you need to take to cross the area. Try to run past all the Wraiths and keep
activating the medallion to see the correct path needed to take.
Head out of the ravine and take a left at the intersection to get a cut scene.
Now head up the path along the left and get to the town for a cut scene. Ask
about where you can find a certain flag to get the location marked on your map
and that you need to see Saskia. Zoltan will enlist to get you the sword.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.04.21 - Hatred Symbolized
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Leave the city and take the path to the right to get back to where the
Scoia'tael guards are at. Now continue back down the hill and wrap around to
the left and when you reach the totem take a sharp left. You will very shortly
reach the entrance to a tunnel. Drink some Cat Potion as it gets very dark and
a little bit dangerous.
Head inside the door and go forward to open another door. Kill the Nekkers as
they attack along your way to Zoltan. In the large room wrap around to the left
and fight more Nekkers as they run at you. Take the door on the right and move
through the room and go through another door.
Watch out for the nest of Nekkers to pop up on your left. Go to the end and
head through the door, followed by another door at the end of the hall. In here
you must fight a Greater Rotfiend. Take the left tunnel as the door requires a
key and head through the door. Head to the right and fight the Nekkers and
Rotfiends, then take a left at the intersection. As you move forward you will
come face to face with a Bullvore. **Make sure to save the Bullvore Brain for
later use in Chapter 3 as there is now a glitch stopping the Bullvore from
spawning later on** Now go in to the room it was guarding and check the chest
for a BLOOD SWORD. Head back the way you came and take the other path through
the door we skipped now.
You will fight another Bullvore in here, you will get the DRAUGIR ARMOR
FRAGMENT from him. Locate the Dwarven body in this room to get the CATACOMB KEY
we need for that door we saw earlier. Continue forward andyou will find Zoltan
with an unexpected guest. After the conversation you also learn the location of
the Spearhead. If you want to grab the TEMERIAN LEATHER GALLIGASKINS that were
behind the locked door, choose stay underground; otherwise return to the
surface.
Head back through the door you came through and go across the room to take the
door on the opposite end. Head through the door on the right here and take a
left to unlock the door. Now head through this tunnel and kill the Nekkers and
Rotfiends guarding the chest on the right. Open it up for your item. Now head
back the way you came through the door and straight to another door. Go through
this tunnel to get to another door and wrap around the cave to the left with
the curve. Go through the door and take a left here to go through another door
and take yet another left. When you reach the fires take a sharp right and go
through the doors to make it outside.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
As Geralt leaves the mine wrap around to the left at the shrine to find a hut
by the Old Quarry. Talk to the man here to start the quest, he wants you to
gather him up some Harpy Feathers. Leave the hut and go straight ahead and
around to the right making your way down to the water as Harpies start
attacking you from all directions. Take the 12 feathers back to him and then
haggle the price up if you wish, but the overall prize is an item not the Orens
for this quest.
He asks for 60 more feathers, so head back and start collecting more, it
doesn't take to long. If you head down to the bottom slowly killing off every
Harpy and rest at the man's hut you just have to do three runs if you didn't
have any feathers from earlier still. Sometimes the Harpies have a hard time
respawning, if this is the case go to the next quest and back again.
Once you drop off the 60 feathers, he asks for 8 more. Once you finish up he
says he is done collecting the feathers, we will have to visit him later.
Meditate for a day to two days and check back with him. You will be in an
awkward moment with the man as he wears the feathers all painted yellow. He
will then give you ELTHON'S TROPHY.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.04.23 - The Spear of Destiny
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back to the city and talk to Skalen at the entrance. Play and beat him in
Dice Poker for the Spearhead. Once you win it beat him a second time for a
sword from the warrior princess Xenthia. The third prize is very important to
grab from him, the Dun Banner Cloak. You will need this for a quest coming up.
Once that is over he refuses to play you anymore.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.04.24 - Death Symbolized
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You must now locate the entrance to the catacombs. Head back to the city where
you left Zoltan and go up the stairs on your left right when you enter the
gates. Take a right to get to the Old Gate and get to the far back area to go
through a tunnel, heading through two doors. Get over to the river and cross at
the shallow point in the front half, pass the hill on your right as this
starts waves of Harpies. Move forward and get one of the Bandits attention to
shoot his arrows at you. You will need to deal with the melee attacking bandits
too, but once those are dead you can have up to three archers to try and deal
with. If you have ARROW REDIRECTION leveled up in your Training section get the
arrow to go back and kill him for an ACHIEVEMENT! You will also unlock the
BATTER ABILITY. To reflect arrows, simply have the appropriate person as your
target and hold the block button. Wait for the arrows to whittle down the life
until they die.
@Achievement Unlocked - Ricochet
Now continue along the path and head down the hill at the far end. Activate the
Circle of Strength and then head in to the Dwarven Catacombs. Head down the
stairs and as you cross the bridge you should see cracks with light behind the
section of wall straight ahead, shoot Aard at this spot to open the wall. Ready
some traps and Quen as you are about to fight some Wraiths inside. You can then
uncover the corpses laying around to get a few worthless items and a Silver
Sword called FATE, but it is most likely under-powered already from what you
have.
Leave this little section and skip the next two fake walls as they are useless
to even look at. Activate the Circle of Endurance and then blast open the wall
next to it. Fight off more Wraiths and search the area for the WILD HUNT'S
INVESTIGATOR'S NOTES found on the left corpse. Now head around the corner still
inside this crypt area and blast through another wall to get on the other side
of the wreckage. Head across the bridge and down the stairs.
Kill the Wraiths inside the next room and then blast through the fake wall.
Head inside and you will come face to face with a spirit that is guarding the
Dun Banner. The best outcome is to convince him you are a surviving member of
the Dun Banner.
"I served in the Banner"

"You got it wrong"
"Menno Coehoorn"
"Coehoorn is dead"
"Vandergrift and Seltkirk"
"I was led out by a priest"
Now turn to the left and take the Dun Banner, leave the Beaver Skin Cap in its
place. Now head out of the Catacombs and over to the mists to cross back over.
Simply head in to the mists and run back across the battlefield using the
medallion to guide you back with the purple orb again. Head straight over to
the gates and you should see the mists to get you out on the other side. Head
up the hill on a cut scene to jump right in to another quest.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Follow Roche up to the fort and go to the upper part of the camp. Now head
through the northern gate to watch another cut scene as the ship sails away.
Head in to the white tent and take SONG OF THE HUNT and SHILARD
FITZ-OESTERLEN'S FIRST LETTER TO THE EMPEROR.
Seek out Sile de Tansarville usually found in the upper camp area inside a tent
the same as Dethmolds close to the middle fort area entrance. Ask her what she
knows about the Wild Hunt, then tell her you found notes from a scholar on the
Hunt. She tells you to talk to a man named Myron.
Myron is located in the tent across from the Canteen most of the time sitting
in a chair. Head over and talk to him about the Hunt. Tell him you found some
notes of a scholar and then go through the list to learn more about it. Once
done tell him you found a poem about the Wild Hunt, he will refuse to talk to
you about the poem as it doesn't interest him; this however allows you to talk
to different people about it in Chapter 3.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now head over to King Henselt in his tent and talk to him to start the quest.
You will load over to the site where Sabrina was executed and go talk to
Henselt again. He tells Geralt that he observed the execution from up on top of
the hill, and will have you follow him to the very spot.
You must now have King Henselt draw the diagram that Dethmold has created on
the paper. In order to complete this have him go to the following choices in
this order:
Sour Milk in the Stone Bowl
Raven Corpse
Scorched Tree
Goat Skull
Black Candles
petrified Bread
Pixie Ring
Head over to any of the locations you had Henselt go to and use the interaction
cue to set it on fire, this starts a cut scene. Wraiths will appear making the
two guards flee. You must protect King Henselt from the Wraiths as they spawn.
It is best to use some Spectre Oil at this point. Once completed you will get
the EXORCIST ATTRIBUTE. Head back to Henselt's tent for another cut scene, you
will be told the King is occupied until sundown if you arrive to early; past
midnight is best.
The dialogue here can be different depending on what happened but the outcome
does not matter as you will be brought straight in to an on-going quest.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You are now face-to-face with two assassins attacking King Henselt. Use Quen
and throw some bombs at them. Follow them up with Yrden on one of the assassins
so you can get in easily and start destroying them. If you need to spread some
Hanged Man's Venom on your Steel Sword to start whittling the life down faster.
When you get one of the two assassin's to three-fourths health another cut
scene will start. Again whatever you say here doesn't really matter. Now you
must head over to Dethmold, he is not at his usual tent this time though. Head
over to the tent across from the Canteen to locate him. He will be standing on
the right side already prepared to start the ritual. Talk to him and then you
will need to get some Gadwall. Get the formula from Myron, he should be
standing outside the tent if not in his usual chair.
You will need, the parenthesis shows some examples you can use to substitute
what item you want to use for each:
1 x Rebis (Celandine flower/Nekker Heart/Drowner Brain)

1 x Vermillion (Endrega Jaw/Endrega Saliva/Wolfsbane)
1 x Caelum (Amethyst Dust/Endrega Venom/Bryonia)
1 x Sol (Verbana)
1 x Aether (Elemental Stone/Scleroderm/Harpy Eyes)
Most of these items can be purchased from the Reilc Vendor in the Canteen.
Once it is created go back in the tent and drink it. Now talk to Dethmold again
and the ritual will start.
Once the fog leaves you will be in control of the assassin that Geralt killed.
Fight through the Harpies that appear with your assassin ally. Once they are
killed move forward and kill off more Harpies as they fly past. When you reach
the mist take a right and go inside the cave. Let the other assassin enter the
door to unlock it and then follow afterwards. Save your game here as it gets a
little tricky from here.
Follow right behind the other assassin as you carefully walk through a lot of
snares. You will be brought back and have to do it again if you trigger a trap.
Once you make it through this room you will have to go down a hall to another
door that your assassin ally will open. Head over to Letho to start a cut scene
and then you will be at the fort heading up to assassinate King Henselt.
Save your game at this point, if you screw up at this point the game continues
but we need to get an achievement. Move forward and sneak up behind each of the
two guards to snap there necks. Once this is done the fog comes back as you and
the other assassin appear in a cave, walk a few steps forward to hear a quick
piece of conversation before the fog takes over again and places you in the
upper fort area. Kill the guards and once the next cut scene starts you will
@Achievement Unlocked - Necromancer
You must now fight Geralt either until you die or until you get his health to
about halfway to finish up. Once out of the trance you can tell Dethmold about
Sile and that you know the location of the hideout.
Now leave the fort through the normal door and go past the red and blue tents
as you head right. Head in to the ravines where you went to the hut to stop the
ghostly sisters from killing the scared soldier, but instead of taking the
first right continue along the left. Kill the Harpies and any Bandits you run
in to along the way. Just like in the trance take a right when you reach the
mists to reach the cave with the door in it.
When you get inside the cave you will be introduced to the Gargoyle. Head
around the traps and as Geralts medallion reacts you will find another Gargoyle
off to the right in the hallway leading up to where the assassins met up with
Letho. Head through the door to find a Golem. Dodge-roll a lot and attack it
with whatever you have left. Once defeated you get the DAVID ATTRIBUTE. Once
the creature is dead the remaining assassin will call for Geralt. He is laying
wounded just to the right of the chest. He tells you a little about your past
which starts a cut scene and advances your "Returning Memories" quest. Now head
back to the fort to talk to Dethmold.
Head back to his tent and talk to him as he hands you the medallion you have
been trying to get your hands on. This will finish up the Faith Symbolized
quest automatically.

2.04.28 - The Eternal Battle
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Talk to Dethmold again and tell him you are ready to lift the curse. He will
tell you that the Visitor's ghost has changed in to a Draug. You need to
prepare for this somewhat difficult battle, noting that you CAN NOT use potions
in this battle at all. Get some Talgar Winters and Zerrikanian Suns to help out
in the fight. When you get in to battle use Quen and be prepared to use Aard.
Now head out to the Battlefield and enter the mists. You will immediately get
possessed by a ghost and watch a cut scene. You must now head over to the
enemies standard and cut it down. The only problem is the standard bearer has
transformed in to a Draugir. You must fight through some enemies and have none
of your normal extra Witcher moves at this moment. As you get moving forward
you will be surrounded by flames; you can use these to get the enemies to run
in to them and take damage as well. Chop them all down as you run away from any
charge attacks to win this part.
After another cut scene you will have to go inform the Commander that the
standard has been captured and you need reinforcements. You must run through
a hailstorm of flaming arrows that is being fired from your own side. You must
get to wooden structures to hide from the arrows but you can not stay for too
long as the structure will burn down. Just run from one structure to the next
inbetween the horn blows as nothing will stand more than two hits. Once you
make it to the last cover point just run up ahead to start a very important cut
scene.
Now you are possessed by Seltkirk of Gulet. Head forward and kill off the waves
of soldiers as you get near Vandergrift. Once the second wave is killed a
flaming rock will crush the gate so you can move forward. Get over to
Vandergrift to see that he has turned in to a Draug. Geralt will talk to
Seltkirk and tells him to leave as this is a task for a Witcher, not a knight.
You now have some time as Geralt to attack the Draugir that appeared. Get it
down to half health and the Draug will come out and kill it off for you.
Now you must fight the Draug, still as Geralt. Roll out of the way as it
charges through and lay down some Talgar Winters and use Aard on him. Rush in
and hack away at him. Get out of the way when he yells for an assist as flaming
arrows come in from off the side of the area. It is best to roll out of the way
from its charges and back attack him for enormous damage. Once it is defeated
you will unlock an ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - Fat Man
Now you will be possessed once more, this time by a priest. Run down the hill
as you don't have to worry about the soldiers behind you and get to the mists
to make it to Henselt. You will also see another cut scene that advances the
Returning Memories quest some more.
You will awaken at the Brothel with Dandelion nearby. Say whatever you want at
this part and then you will learn of a meeting place by the plotters.

You can no longer go inside the camp as it is closed and the Blue Stripes have
left for a mission somewhere. Head out to the hut atop the cliff to see what is
going on. Head in to the ravine again past the red and blue tents and take a
right. As you head close to the hut you will over hear voices of some
conspirators. Get over to the hut to start a cut scene.
Once done talking run back to the Blue Stripes camp to warn them. As you reach
the tents the Kaedwini soldiers guarding the place will attack you. Kill them
all and a woman will tell you that everyone was invited to a feast in the fort
by Dethmold.
Quickly run to the fort entrance to find the guards are now gone. Head inside
the fort.

soldiers. Kill them off and then run in to the Canteen for a cut scene.

2.04.30 - The Siege of Vergen (Mystic River Continued)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Leave the fort and head past the red and blue tents in to the ravines. Continue
down the left side where the Harpies were and you will now find soldiers you
must kill. Head further in the ravine and now you can take the path that was
blocked by the mists earlier.
You will find a Troll patrolling the area, the bad part is since you are
playing on Roche's side even if you were to sweet talk her. It is best to kill
her if you killed the last Troll to work towards your achievement for killing
them off. You will want to search the trunk in the ship as well so you can
continue the Mystic River quest later on in Chapter 3. If you kill the Troll
you will notice that you get TRISS' BANDANA. Now head around the path and take
the left turn as the path on the right is a long dead end.
Fight the Harpies and continue along the edge and head away from it for just a
little bit. Fight through the cluster of Harpies and move on. You will come up
to a Troll being attacked by some guards. Kill off the guards and if you need
to kill the Troll as well tell him that she is dead. This enrages him against
you, killing this third Troll will unlock an ACHIEVEMENT! Or if you saved all
the trolls you will unlock the other ACHIEVEMENT!

or if you let all the Trolls live

Head down the path and ready your standard Steel Sword to fight through more
soldiers. As you head forward through one more group of soldiers you will see
that the standard gateway that you used earlier is now blocked with debris.
Head back the way you came and up the path on the left to get in to the
tunnels, enter the door straight ahead.
Drink a Cat Potion so you can see in the very dark tunnels. Head forward to see
that Demolds mercenaries are all inside this tunnel. Enter the next room for a
short cut scene and then kill off the enemies. Head around to the left to find
some soldiers killing a Rotfiend, take them all out. Head through the door on
the right and kill more enemies. Go through the door on the right and take the
long curved path to another door.
Kill the enemies straight ahead and then take the path on the left. Enter the
door and you will have to fight a little larger fight here against more
soldiers and rotfiends then any of the other battles so far. Now get in to the
next room past the door to find a lot of men along with Dethmold himself.
You must focus on the soldiers first as Dethmold will not go below halfway
health until then. Dodge his magic attacks as he randomly teleports through
the cavern room and work on killing off the other soldiers. Once everyone has
been killed off you can now focus your attacks on Dethmold. Use Aard to knock
him down and attack him as he can't use magic at the moment, then roll away to
repeat. Once youget his life down to about 25% he retreats behind a magic wall
that you can not walk through and teleports away.
You now have the choice to kill or let Adam Pangratt live or die. This doesn't
effect the endings to your game...it only effects whether you killed Aryan La
Valette at the start. If you did and you choose to kill him you are one step
closer to the Executioner Attribute. If you let him live he gives you an Armor
Enhancement. Now head through the door along the wooden wall and move forward
to get out of the mines.
@@@
Enter the door ahead to reach another tunnel and out the other side to see the
war going on. A cut scene will start up as you are reunited with Zoltan. Tell
him you are looking for Henselt and then Sile. You also are told to help
Iorveth as he is holed up somewhere with a small group of Squirrels.
Head through the door on the left and up the stairs to start a cut scene and
the bridge gets broken. Head up more stairs and out the door and start killing
soldiers on the right and then the left as they start executing civilians. Do
not take the tunnel yet and head away from the fighting so the door you just
came out of is on your right. Pass the elven archers and enter the building.
Help the elves fight off the soldiers and then take the path to the left of the
chest up the steps. Turn to the right and go up the stairs and through the door
at the top. Fight through the soldiers for a quick rude cut scene and then head
back out of the building the way you came. Head through the tunnel around the
corner from the stairs you came up and you will find a Golem attacking the
area. Use Quen and dodge-roll everything as it can easily one-hit kill you.

Enter Phillipa's house and watch the cut scene. Kill off the Royal guards in
pairs of two making sure to stay away from the main door where the shielded
guards are at with Henselt. Once the first two are dead the shielded men will
attack, kill them and you will get to fight Henselt.
Once you get his life down to the end another cut scene will start. You must
now decide to let Roche kill him or have Roche leave him alone. Depending on
what you have Roche do determines which of the endings you will get. The nice
thing is you only have to let him live one time on Roche's side as it is
required for one specific ending. The other three times you can kill the
bastard. If you kill Henselt and have also decided to kill Aryan La Valette and
Adam Pangatt you will unlock the EXECUTIONER ATTRIBUTE.
If you let him live you get an ACHIEVEMENT!

2.05.01 - Prelude to War: Aedirn
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
We start this next chapter as a character named Prince Stennis of Vengerberg.

After the live talking head up the path and around the bend as you pass by some
oof your soldiers. Go up the hill and wind around the path. If you are playing
Dark Mode and want the Oathbreaker set of Dark Armor save your game here. Reach
the tent and watch another cut scene.
If you respond with "Greater forces have crumbled beneath Vergen's walls" then
you will get another set of options.
Either of the first two options, "This is Upper Aedirn" and "This is the
richest piece of land in the north" will continue the conversation.
Saying "Withdraw your army and you'll save them from being massacred"
or "You can have the Dragonslayer" will put you in a fight against all of
Henselt's men.
Selecting "I'll reimburse you for your military escapade" has Henselt
offer to fight you in a duel. Accept the challenge!
Saying "I am forced to accept your terms" will make you fight all of
Henselt's men.
Saying "You'll break all the treaties" will put you in a fight against all of
Henselt's men right away.
If you are fighting Henselt in a duel just block him and take all the counters
you can get.
If you are fighting all of Henselt's men, try to get a break away and run
straight for Henselt to defeat him, once this is done a cut scene will start.
After the cut scene you will be in control of Geralt again, you must fight off
the Wraiths that appear. Once you have killed off quite a few protecting Saskia
two Draugir will appear, they act just like heavy shielded knights. Once you
defeat the two of them another cut scene will start up. Make sure to kill them
quickly and loot the bodies to get the Draugmir Armor Fragment from one of them
if you are on Dark Mode difficulty. Also note you can get the Armor Fragment
from the Draugir later on when you adventure through the mist again in "Where
is Triss Merigold? Continued".
The magical owl, which is Philppa, will be shielding the group as you
make your way down the hill. Most of the Wraiths will be repelled by the owls
instant-kill attacks, so just keep an eye out for any that manage to make it
through the lines.
Eventually a Draugir will appear and the owl will fly away due to Wraith mages
hitting it with magic. You must quickly kill it to get the owl to come back so
everyone is safe within the shield again. You will then make your way across
the battlefield and be once again stopped by another Draugir. Fight it off to
get the owl to come back once again. After a little while it will happen a
third time as well. Eventually you will locate a bright light at the end of the
field for a cut scene.
If you are on Dark Mode trying for the Oathbreaker Dark Armor Set check your
inventory at this time for the Draugir Armor Fragment, if you didn't get one
from one of the five Draugir then reload your save and try again for it. This
will be the best time to grab it; otherwise you get one more chance near the
middle of the chapter to get one.

2.05.02 - The War Council
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Follow Skalen over to a building and then heading around some halls to reach
your room. Talk to Skalen about arm wrestling to get the quest marked on your
journal, you must defeat two others before you can get to him. Now leave the
Inn and head back up the stairs. Wrap around to the left and head up the path
to reach a door guarded by a dwarf.
Head inside and then take the first door on the right to reach the council room
for a cut scene. Once all is done you will be given a lot of quests to embark
on and finish this current one.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.03 - Mottle Love Scene
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY AVAILABLE IF YOU SAVED THE ELVEN WOMEN FROM THE FIRE AND
DIDN'T GO AFTER LOREDO....ALSO I AM TOLD THIS IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE
AUSTRALIAN VERSION OF THE GAME, SORRY.
This is not actually a quest but I put it in its own section. Head down the
stairs and wrap around to the left to get a cut scene. Now head through the
gates that were just opened. Head out the main gate after the small marketplace
and take a left at the branch in the path.
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE!
Talk to Mottle and she mentions you saved her from the fire and wants to tempt
Geralt in to something. Respond with "Tempt?" and then say "All right." and
then the love scene will start....not sure why this one was the one that was
taken out of the Australian version as it isn't the "worst" of them....
Now talk to her again and she will give you the KEY TO THE TUNNEL OF THE
FOUNDERS to some old mine pit. The mine just so happens to be to her right and
brings you out to the old quarry where you can fight some Harpy's.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.04 - Subterranean Life (Hey, Work's on in the Mines!)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head over to the Inn and just before heading inside grab the "Proclamation of
Closure of the Mines" off the Notice Board and head inside the Inn. Head over
to the table in the back right corner and talk to Zoltan for a cut scene. Ask
all the questions from the bottom up after you take a drink, the group sets out
to help you at the mine.
Head over to the Innkeeper and hand over any heavy items and then leave the Inn
to head over to a craftsman that can make some Grapeshots, or if you already
have three then hunt down Cecil. Head back up the stairs and wrap around the
pit to the right to go up the ramped path. Take the first door on the right to
enter a tunnel to the northern area. Now wrap around to the right to go through
another tunnel to locate the group along with Cecil, talk to him.
If you picked up the contract off the Notice Board mentioned at the start of
this quest you will start a side quest called "Hey, Work's on in the Mines!" as
well. Head through the door to find the first room all bloody. Now go through
the next door as the group files in behind you. I now have a map uploaded for
all to use in order to help them locate the passages and important items.
Rotfiend Tunnels - Red

Important Items - Blue
Locked Storage Room - Yellow
Storage Room Key - Yellow with Black Dot
Dwarven Immortelle - Green

Check the body of the dwarf you find on the floor for some POISONED HARPY CLAWS
that we will need later. Head through the next door and kill a group of
Rotfiends followed by a cut scene. Search the chamber and then take the door on
the right and fight some more Rotfiends. Now search the body at the end of the
tunnel for BALIN'S FIRST MAP, BALIN'S JOURNAL I, and UPPER SHAFT KEY. Now set
off a bomb with the prompt at the very edge of the hole to seal the shaft.
Head back to the larger chamber now and skip the door to the right for now as
you will need a different key for this. Head straight ahead from where you just
came out to be attacked by a lot of Rotfiends. Loot the area and use the door
at the far end and loot the area. Watch out for the group of Rotfiends in the
far end with a Greater Rotfiend.
Head back the way you came and take the door to the right of the door that
leads to the larger chamber, this requires the key we found earlier. Now kill
the Rotfiend and Greater Rotfiend found inside this tunnel and loot the area.
As you are looting another Rotfiend and a Greater Rotfiend will come around the
corner to the right and fight. Head the way they came from to move on and go
through the door at the end once you are done looting.
Heading in to this tunnel chamber you will have to fight usually a single
Rotfiend. Skip the door on the right as it requires a different key, continue
through the tunnel. Check the dead dwarf for BALIN'S SECOND MAP, BALIN'S
JOURNAL II, and the MIDDLE SHAFT KEY. Now head around the far bend to collapse
the second tunnel. Go back the way you came and use the new key on the door you
just skipped over, careful as another Rotfiend may have appeared here.
Now head in to the next large chamber to fight through a large mess of
Rotfiends and Greater Rotfiends. Get back on the boardwalk if you left the path
and head straight and through the door at the end. Enter the chamber at the end
and loot the place for BALIN'S THIRD MAP, BALIN'S JOURNAL III, and the LOWER
SHAFT KEY. Head back the way you came in to the large chamber and take the side
road.
When you reach the bend in the road, take the door on the right. Use the
medallion to see a lot of traps set in this tunnel. Continue through the
heavily trap laid path to another door and head inside. Inside the room you
will find BALIN'S JOURNAL IV and the STOREHOUSE KEY from the door we skipped
near the beginning of these mines. Now go back the way you came and take the
other path at the split and go inside the next door. Save your game here if you
are playing on Dark Mode trying to get the Oathbreaker Armor Set.
Continue to move forward through the tunnel and Geralt's medallion will start
to vibrate. Go around the bend and through a low tunnel and wrap around the
bend as someone starts talking about how bad it smells. Once you make it
around the corner you will find a Bullvore and some Rotfiends. Be careful with
this Bullvore as it is a special one. Once you kill them all loot the area for
the DWARVEN IMMORTELLE and then go to the end of the tunnel to seal the final
spot off. You may be able to get the Draugmir Armor Fragment needed for the
Oathbreaker Set off of this Bullvore, but I haven't had any luck yet out of
thirty reloads.
Head back through the low tunnel and you will be given the option to return to
the surface or stay underground. If you want to check out the Storage room stay
down here.
Head around the bend and through the door, then take a left once you hit the
boardwalk. Head along the long tunnel after passing through the door and then
through another. Wrap around to the left and go through another door. Turn to
the immediate right and go through the door to reach the first chamber again.
Now wrap around to the left to enter the door we skipped earlier.
Head over to the shaft on the right to locate a RED METEORITE SWORD. Now trail
back a little bit to take the left shaft. At the end go through the door to
reach a chamber with some items to loot and then a door on the left wall that
you need to unlock with the storage key. Inside is the ROBUST SWORD OF DOL
BLATHANNA. Now leave the mines.
Once you made it out watch the cut scene and "Subterranean Life" will be
completed. Now head up the slope and around to the right to enter the red door
to find Cecil in his house. Talk to him about the Necrophage Nest to collect
and finish the "Hey, Work's on in the Mines!" quest.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.05 - Poker Face: Vergen
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The easiest way to start this quest is to head in to the Inn and talk to the
Innkeeper, ask him to play you in Dice. He will refuse until you beat a few
others first but it will add it to your quest log with a general direction of
where to go.
Head out of the Inn and up the stairs wrapping around to the right. Go up the
sloped path and through the first door on the right to get through the tunnel.
Head over to the smith area and enter the door behind him to find some Dwarves
playing Dice Poker. Beat both of them so you can play against the next man up
in the ranks, the Innkeeper.
Head back to the Inn and challenge the Innkeeper to a Dice Poker game. You will
then be told to locate and play Cecil Burdon. Leave the Inn and go up the
stairs to wrap around to the right. Head up the sloped path and through the
door on the right. Now wrap around some more and head through the tunnel and go
up the slope on the left to reach his house on the right of the large door.
Once you win you will be told to go up against Haggard, the Blacksmiths
apprentice. Head back over to where you played your first two matches and talk
to Haggard about Dice Poker. Once you win the match you will win the quest,
tell Haggard you don't want gold. If you are on Dark Mode and like to work on
getting the Dark Armor sets it is best to ask for the Blue Meteorite Steel.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.06 - One on One: Vergen
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back to the Inn and go to the far end of the room and talk to any of the
men in the back. Accept the challenge and put down your coin. Once you fight
through all the men you will be challenged by Silgrat, this starts a new quest.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Once you have defeated everyone a nobleman named Silgrat will challenge you to
a duel. Defeat him and he wants Geralt to kill him for he is dishonored. Geralt
dishonors him even more by refusing. The quest does not finish at this point
and you will see him later on.

2.05.08 - Death Symbolized (With Flickering Heart) (Hunting Magic)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
!!!!NOTE WITH FLICKERING HEART MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE GIVING THE BANDANA TO!!
!!!!PHILIPPA !!
Talk to the elf Ele'yas outside the Inn if you haven't already and agree to
look in to the matter for him. Now head to the market and talk to Felicia Cori
to buy the SURGICAL TOOLS from her Quest Items section. Now go through the main
gates and take a right at the split in the road. Head down the path to reach
the Burned Village and look to the right along the rubble to find a dead body.
Geralt says he smells sulfur.
Now head back up the path and in to Vergen. Take the stairs to your left as you
enter the city and wrap around to the right to reach the outskirts of the city.
Head to the back end and go through the tunnel to enter a door. Head through
the small shaft to come out the other side. As you reach the water you will run
in to some Scoia'tael that want to capture Geralt. Cast your Quen and then take
them all down. Cross the river at the front shallow area to reach the other
side. Fight off the Harpies and head up the sloped path, you may have some
Bandits attack you as well depending on the time and if you go over to far at
the moment.
Take the curve around the raised land and then jump over the gap. You will now
have to fight more Harpies up here and then jump a second gap over to the other
side. When you make it to the other side another group of Harpies will appear,
kill them. Now head over to the left side of the tower and climb up the ledge
here to grab the MAGICAL CRYSTAL.
Now head back across the two gaps and down the slope. Head to your right when
you reach the bottom and fight the Bandits and Nekkers if they have not already
killed them off. When you reach the pond on your left and three trees just to
the right of it, look for the body behind the trees. The body has THE WHITE
FLAME book. Now head further in to the forest and take a right to go down the
hill. Activate the Circle of Power and head in to the crypts.
Turn to the left and head down the stairs to cross a small stone bridge. On the
other side use Aard to blast through the wall. Now use some necrophage oil on
your blade and go in to the room to fight a group of Wraiths. Once all the
Wraiths are killed, head to the back of this chamber and uncover the body on
the back wall to fight another Wraith and get FATE, a silver sword, off the
body. Leave the room and go to the right as there is no reason to look at any
of the other bodies.
Go past the second bridge and two more walls you could use Aard on to reach a
dead end. Activate the Endurance circle and then Aard through the third wall.
Head inside and fight some more Wraiths. You only need to uncover the body on
the left to get the WILD HUNT INVESTIGATOR'S NOTES. Now head down the tunnel in
the back left of the room to reach another chamber. Head over to the candle lit
body on the right wall and uncover the body to find a fresh body.
Examining the clothes shows traces of sulfur like at the burned village
Examining the head shows its in better condition than the rest of the body
Dark circles around the eyes
Delicate bites on the neck
Examining the arms lets you look at a few things

A few hairs are in the hand
The arms are cut up badly as if he defended himself, there is a metal
splinter found in the cuts
Examining the torso lets you see some cuts and the option to turn it over
Ferocious wounds on the chest
Flipping the body over shows fingernail marks along the back and a book
Once done looking and summarizing, Geralt concludes that this is the work of a
Succubus and the book is from Dandelion. You don't need to examine any other
bodies so bust through the wall with Aard and cross the next bridge. Head in to
the room and kill off the Wraiths. Use Aard on the next section of the wall to
start a cut scene with the holder of the Dun Banner. The best outcome is to
trick him in to thinking you are a surviving member of the Dun Banner. You can
do this by answering the questions like this:
"I served in the Banner"

"You got it wrong"
"Menno Coehoorn"
"Coehoorn is dead"
"Vandergrift and Seltkirk"
"Biggerhorn took me prisoner"
If you get a question wrong you can give him the Beaver Cap if you got it from
the quest "Baltimore's Nightmare" but we have not covered this quest yet. These
questions can be answered from what Yarpen has told you and by reading the book
THE DUN BANNER, then you should know all these answers.
Now head over to the table coffin and take the Standard and Sword of the Dun
Banner. This complete's "Death Symbolized". Now head back in to the previous
room and take a right to fight more Wraiths, use necrophage oil if the oil has
run out by now. Once they are all taken care of head up the stairs and across
the bridge to take another right and cross the first bridge to leave the
catacombs.
Go back across the river and in to Vergen, go to the Inn. Now Dandelion likes
to play tricks on some people...like me for instance. Usuaully you can find him
hanging out in the main room of the Cauldron by the fireplace where Zoltan sits
with everyone. If for any reason he is not in this spot head upstairs around
midnight and go in to the first door to find him in his room asleep. Now head
out to the Burned Village after midnight to start a cut scene.
Dandelion will ask you how to begin, choose these options:
If our bodies...
My heart would inquire...
Or treat it as a morsel...
You now are in control of Dandelion and have to make a decision to either get
Geralt or head down in to the cellar without him. If you go in without getting
Geralt, Geralt will get pissed and head in after Dandelion. Watch out for
Wraiths that may spawn around the area on your way over to the cellar door.
You then have the choice to fight and kill her by saying "Your lying" or help
investigate what is really going on. If you choose to kill her make sure you
have some throwing daggers to interrupt her spell casting to take her down as
quick as possible without any interference. Upon killing her you will receive
the SUCCUBUS' WAND as well as some random high selling loot. Once the succubus
is dead go talk to Ele'yas by the entrance of the Inn to tell him the case is
solved. He will then reward you with Angivare, a steel sword, and 100 orens
with 200 XP.
Whether you get Geralt right away or not you can either fight her or ask "Like
the others?" if Dandelion went in alone...or both paths lead to "Who's the
murderer?" She explains one of her lovers has actually fallen in love with her
to the point where he is killing all of her other lovers. Ask her who it is and
you are told it is Ele'yas...the one that had you look in to the murderers in
the first place.
Now ask why you should help her and she wants her name cleared and will now
offer you a reward. Tell her you will speak to Ele'yas. Head back up the ladder
and go seek out Ele'yas over at the entrance to the Inn. Tell him he lied to
you. Either answer gives you the same ultimate outcome to where you can talk to
Iorveth about the murderer or kill the Succubus. Since he is the murderer head
up the stairs near the main gate to Vergen and enter the outskirts to talk to
Iorveth.
If you had the Surgical Tools when you went to the catacombs to look at the
body you will have the scrap of metal on you now...otherwise you will have to
buy the tools and then go get the piece to continue the quest this way. Iorveth
will go check on Ele'yas but returns saying that he fled the city. Head back to
the burned village to talk to the Succubus.
As you enter the burned village Ele'yas will come from around the corner and
attack you. Use Igni and standard sword skills to kill him as he is nothing
special. Now head down the ladder and enter the Succubus' room, you now have
the option to have sex with her or not. Either choice gains you nothing, except
if you accept sex you get to see her hoof ;) now that's something sexy! After
your choice she tells you she left a gift in the chest. In the chest you will
get Thyssen's Armor, Rook potion, some orens, and 200 XP. If you had sex with
her you also get to walk around for a little bit like you are drunk as her
powers fade off on you.

2.05.09 - Where is Triss Merigold? Continued (Mystic River Continued)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Leave the Inn and head up the stairs and wrap around to the right to go up the
sloped path. Head through the door on the right to reach the tunnel and then go
up and around to the left to start a cut scene. You will find Philippa and her
lover/assistant in the room giving her a massage. Ask about looking for Triss.
She suggests you head to the Inn and talk to the drunkard talking about flying
women.
Head over to the Inn and talk to the drunk standing in front of the Innkeeper,
you probably already know the one with his annoying one liner up until now. Buy
him a drink, make sure to bribe large to get the story. Ask about what the
woman looked like and you will learn that the woman not only sounds like Triss
but Letho left her, and then a Troll came and picked her up.
Now leave the Inn and go up the stairs taking a left turn. Head through the
large gate past all the market place and then leave the city. If you didn't get
to take the key from Mottle earlier you will have to take the path to the right
and go throuh the burned down village. Head down the slope and around to the
left to reach a clearing just after the wooden gateway. Head to the right up
the slope to find the Troll. If you have the key you can go to the left and
through the doorway, wrap around to the right past the old quarry and then past
the shrine and turn left up the slope to get to the Troll.
Talk to the Troll and learn that the trolls were trying to help Triss but she
ran away, the trolls wife went after her. Go through the options from the
bottom of the list and up. Geralt finds out that when Triss was feeling better
she ran away in the night. Ask about the bandanna and he tells you that his
wife has the bandanna. Now if you have killed the previous troll tell him "We
will see" and he will attack you. If you are trying not to kill the trolls tell
him "I won't kill her".
Continue south and fight through the Harpy infested area. Once you dispose of
them continue along the path to reach the upper far edge of the Old Quarry and
more Harpies will appear. Continue along and then take the right turn at the
intersection. This will bring you to a ship that the troll was talking about
where Triss and Letho fell near. If you have completed Mystic River up to this
point then you can open the next chest on this ship for the JOURNAL FROM THE
EYLA TARN and continue the MYSTIC RIVER quest on to the next step for chapter
3.
Now head back the way you came and go up the steep hill straight ahead to fight
more Harpies. Head down the hill on the other side and take a right. Climb the
ledge and start a cut scene to find some mercenaries. If you are wanting to
kill her as the final troll for your achievement help them, otherwise tell them
that she needs to live.
Once you make your decision you will either help them fight the she-troll or
fight off as many of the mercenaries as possible. Afterwards during the cut
scene tell them they are looking for Letho. Afterwards tell them to surrender
to Saskia.
If you killed the troll search her body and get Triss' Bandana. You will now
If you let the troll live ask her about Triss and then she will return to her
husband. The she-troll will give you the bandana and the other troll will give
Geralt the TROLL HORN. You will now unlock an ACHIEVEMENT!
@ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED - Trollslayer
or if you helped the trolls....
@ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED - Friend of Trolls
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back to Philipa's house to tell you found a magic crystal. Geralt and her
will then discuss what you have found and figures it is best to talk to Cecil
to get the Harpy's Lair opened so you can go inside and get more crystals that
will hopefully be more powerful. We can take this time to also go through a few
other quests as well.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.11 - The Harpy Contract (The Queen Harpy Contract)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head over to the Notice Board outside the Inn and take the Harpy Contract and
Queen Harpy Contract from off the board. Now go talk to Haggard to collect
and/or craft seven HARPY TRAPS. Next you will need to go talk to Cecil at his
home. Tell him you need to reach the Harpy Lair to start a cut scene and
blackmail.
Now head out of town past the market place and through the Tunnel of the
Founders if you can, otherwise head to the right on the path through the burned
down village. Take a left at the intersection and then go past the worshiping
statue and a little to the right. You will reach the Old Quarry either way with
a cabin just before descending.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head inside the cabin and talk to the man here to start the quest, he wants you
to gather him up some Harpy Feathers. Leave the hut and go straight ahead and
around to the right making your way down to the water as Harpies start
attacking you from all directions. Take the 12 feathers back to him and then
haggle the price up if you wish, but the overall prize is an item not the Orens
for this quest.
He asks for 60 more feathers, so head back and start collecting more, it
doesn't take to long. If you head down to the bottom slowly killing off every
Harpy and rest at the man's hut you just have to do three runs if you didn't
have any feathers from earlier still. Sometimes the Harpies have a hard time
respawning, if this is the case go to the next quest and back again.
Once you drop off the 60 feathers, he asks for 8 more. Once you finish up he
says he is done collecting the feathers, we will have to visit him later.
Meditate for a day to two days and check back with him. You will be in an
awkward moment with the man as he wears the feathers all painted yellow. He
will then give you ELTHON'S TROPHY.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.13 - The Harpy Contract (The Queen Harpy Contract) Continued
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Make your way down the quarry and when a group of Harpies attack you set up a
Harpy Trap, then retreat a little bit. Make sure a Harpy takes the trap and not
a Erynia. Set a trap down and wait for a Harpy to carry it away to one of the
nests. Once the nest is destroyed set another one down for another Harpy to
take. Destoy FOUR nests outside and then clear out the quarry to make it to the
bottom.
Now head over to the tall door at the bottom and unlock it with Cecil's key to
head inside. As you head through the area and standard Harpies spawn around you
will want to plant a Harpy Trap for them to take. Take the KAEDWINI LEATHER
ARMOR off the soldier's dead body on the big bend after the first nest you
encounter in here.
Now climb the ledge and this will be another place to plant a Harpy Trap, run
forward in to the little cave area to hide from the Harpies so they will take
the bomb. Now finish them off and then wrap around the path to enter a cave.
Look immediately to your right for a CRYSTALIZED DREAM. Kill some more Celaeno
Harpies and continue down the path. Once you head in to another cave doorway
you will find another group of normal Harpies and need to plant the final Harpy
Trap to take care of all the nests. This will also unlock the character ability
BIRDMAN.
Drop down at the end of this path and take a left to drop down again. Head down
the path and take a left at the fork to start a cut scene. Now prepare some
potions that will help boost your characters build and then place a lot of
traps around the area and near the projector. Get your Dancing Stars ready and
then take Letho's Dream Crystal out of the projector. This will summon the
Queen Harpy and eight of her Celaeno minions. Take them all down by letting the
traps grab them and throwing Dancing Stars all over to take them down swiftly.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now go in the next chamber and kill another Celaeno to take the CRYSTALIZED
DREAM and then get jumped by two more Celaeno's. Climb back up the ledge and
take the left path and wrap around to a sharp left. In this chamber you will
find another KAEDWINI LEATHER ARMOR and another CRYSTALIZED DREAM off to the
right. Once you take this dream you will be attacked by three more Celaeno
Harpies.
Leave the chamber and head around to the left to drop down the ledge. Take the
CRYSTALIZED DREAM around to the right and another group of three Celaeno
Harpies will attack. Head back to the dream projector and use the Silver
Crystal to find Baltimore's dream which starts another quest. Check the Green
Crystal for a random peasant's sex dream. The Red Crystal is the dream from the
dragon that attacked you at the prologue of the game. Finally the Blue Crystal
is from Iorveth's dream about food and speaking in elf. Now leave the cavern
and head up the quarry to get back to town.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.15 - Royal Blood
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now head back to the city and go to Philippa's house again. Talk to her and let
her know you found Triss's Bandanna. Once you finish talking there is someone
outside, a mob is forming to kill the prince.
From Philippa's head down the stairs and through the eastern tunnel, take a
right at the end and go through the red door at the end. Go left to find a
crowd of people and start a cut scene as you walk in to them. Say whatever when
prompted and then you must talk to as many groups as possible before Iorveth
can't contain the mob any longer.
The trick is you only are able to question two groups of people before you run
out of time. You will want to talk to the THREE DWARVES and the PEASANTS. This
will bring about two more quests to help you further your investigations unlike
asking other people.
Do not talk to anyone else at this time or you will trigger a cut scene making
you have to decide to early, leave the castle and begin working on your two
leads.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.16 - Suspect: Thorak
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Leave the hallway and take the door on the right. Now head back across to the
main area and up the sloped path just past the tunnel. Wrap around to the left
and go up the stairs to locate Thorak. Now ask him if he was the one that
crafted her goblet; he replies with an offended no.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.17 - The Walls Have Ears
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back towards the Inn but go past the steps and wrap around to the left. Go
up the hill and talk to Willy at the top and Willy refuses to tell Geralt what
happened. Use either intimidation or Axii on him to get him to talk about the
Priest that was talking to Stennis.
Now head over to Cecil at his house just to the right of the large gates. Ask
him where Reverend Olcan lived and he will mark it on your map. Head out of
Cecil's house and through the tunnel to the Inn. Once there head past the
marketplace and wrap around the corner to the left. Now head to the wooden door
on the right. Search the Reverend's house at his table to locate some diagrams.
For now you will want to leave the rest of the Royal Blood quest alone and DO
NOT go to the castle until later.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.18 - Baltimore's Nightmare (Suspect: Thorak Continued)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Once back in town head over to Cecil's house but go left at the intersection to
get a little cut scene. Head over to Thorak and talk about Baltimore with him.
Now head down to the old door you just passed. Inside you will see a large
blood stain on the floor. Loot the room and then use Aard on the false wall
near the back. Inside this secret room you will find BALTIMORE'S DIRECTIONS and
BALTIMORE'S KEY.
Read the directions and you will find a riddle. Once you leave Thorak will come
around the corner and ask if you found anything. It is best just to lie about
it so you can easily complete the two investigation quests as well. Now read
the notes you found and head to the burned village to find an old well in the
middle of the village.
Now head north towards the river that you can see on your map, within ten paces
you must turn left to head down the hill to the Scoia�tael group. Take a left
and go through the large gate ahead. Now continue along the path to reach the
wooden statuette and take the middle road that leads to the quarry.
Now head past the shack to the edge and use your medallion when Geralt mentions
it is vibrating. Look to the right of the smooth rock and you will see a stone
with a rune pointing to the left. Continue along the path heading down the
quarry keeping an eye out for other stones with rune arrows showing you the way
to the bottom. Once you follow all the rune stones down to the bottom of the
quarry you will find that it leads you up the small hill to the left of the
Harpy Dream Caves. On the hill you will find a chest to unlock and get a RUNE
KEY.
Now the next section of Baltimore's notes say going on the path to the right
back at the intersection of three paths. Head up the hill and turn around the
corner to the left where the Trolls are/were at. Fight off the Nekkers and
Harpies as you continue along the path. At the intersection take a right to
reach the marooned ship and wait until noon to see where it casts its shadow
from the bowsprit. It will point to some bushes by a cave-like area. Use Igni
on the bushes to reveal a door and unlock it with your new key.
Head inside and search the room for a chest in the back right of the room.
In the chest you will find the BEAVER CAP you could use in "Death Symbolized"
if you mess up trying to trick him in to thinking you are of the Dun Banner if
you haven't already done this quest. You will also get BALTIMORE'S NOTES. If
you told Thorak what you found in the old workshop then he will come in as you
are about to take the items out and asks for the notes. In return you will get
discounts at his shop, orens and 300 XP. If you don't agree to hand it over he
will fight you, this is the same for lying to him at the start.
The best option is to kill them. Use Axii on one dwarf to have them help you
fight the others and use Igni as well to make quick work of them. Once they are
dead take Thorak's key to help move things along in "Suspect: Thorak". Back
where the chest was containing the Beaver Cap and notes you will find a weapon
rack with FALCHION, a steel sword, but it isn't very powerful.
Now head back to Vergen and head past the Inn up the hill. Take the first door
on the right and then wrap around to the right once you are out of the tunnel
to get back to Thorak's place on the left. SAVE YOUR GAME as this part gets
glitchy...head inside his house at the top of the stairs and unlock the small
chest on the right side of the room to get OLCAN'S RECEIPT, DIAGRAM: ROBUST
YELLOW METEORITE SWORD, and some ORENS. This chest is glitchy and you sometimes
do not receive these items! If "Suspect: Thorak" does not update you need to
reload your game save and try again!
Now run over to Cecil's house and give him Baltimore's Notes. You will then
receive Gwyhr, a Steel Sword that has decent damage.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.19 - Royal Blood Continued
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back to the Castle of the Three Fathers to have a cut scene start. You
will now have to decide what to do about Stennis. You have two options which
has a changing impact on the game.
If Geralt sides with the mob they will beat Stennis and you can collect the
ROYAL BLOOD needed to save Saskia. You gain 1,000 XP and later on when we are
working on the rest of "Where is Triss Merigold?" you will have to pretend to
be Roche's prisoner as he escorts you through the camp to safety. You will
have to get around some commanders as you go to the main gate.
If Geralt sides with the royals and does not allow him to be beaten to death
then you will have to find other means as to getting the royal blood.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.05.20 - Where is Triss Merigold? Continued (From a Bygone Era)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Go to Philippa's house and as you approach the door a cut scene will start with
Philippa playing with her apprentice. Philippa tells you that Triss seems to
be on the other side of the mist, but the signal is faint. She will aide you in
owl form to help get you across the mist. Leave town and head through the
burned village. Go down the hill and take a right at the intersection and walk
in to the mist.
As you walk in the mist a cut scene will start and the white owl will return to
give you the same shield as before. Stay inside the shielding and let the owl
do most of the work battling off the wraiths. Soon after walking a little ways
you will need to kill some Wraiths holding the owl captive and a Draugir...if
you kill the wraiths you will automatically cancel out the Draugir and not
have to kill it.
!!NOTE YOU CAN GET DRAUGMIR ARMOR FRAGMENTS FROM THE DRAUGIR HERE TO COMPLETE!!
!!THE DARK ARMOR SET FOR CHAPTER 2 IF YOU WERE UNABLE TO GET IT EARLIER!!!!!!!!
You will need to fight more Wraiths and a Draugir one more time just before
you get to exit the mist. Once you leave the mist Philippa will tell you she
can not go any further so Dethmold does not sense her presence. Automatically
sometimes in your inventory you will get the SHILARD FITZ-OESTERLEN'S ORDERS to
read, or go around to the left of the fire pit and take it off the dead
Nilfgaardian soldier.
Now head around to the path on the right and up to the next dead body for a cut
scene where Geralt pulls out a statue as Roche and a soldier come up to greet
him. You can tell him anything you want from the the options and then he will
tell you two ways to get in to the camp, either sneak through or go through a
cave.
First we need to get a side quest started so we can finish it up in Chapter 3.

Head west towards the brothel tents and go past them. You will need to follow
the river to the find the wooden pole sticking out of the water. Head in to the
ravine here and take a right at the intersection to reach a beach with an old
house on a cliff above. Go to the left side of the house and use Aard on the
barrels to locate a secret cellar door to climb down.
Light the candles in the order of Down, Diamond, and then Up to reveal a secret
room. Inside the room you will locate MALGET'S NOTES. This will start "From a
Bygone Era". Now if you head back to where you came out of the mist you can
follow the two options available to you.
******************************
OPTION A - Unlocks Achievement
******************************
To sneak through camp, head northwest up to the pit of spikes just outside the
fort and you will find a section of the cliffs open to the right to enter.
Inside you will have to fight off the Rotfiends and then can wrap around to the
left where three bodies are laying around that you can burn. You will then have
to drop down a ledge and then jump across a gap to another rock straight ahead.
Drop down the ledge and then go across the beach to climb up another ledge to
reach the Canteen.
You will now be in sneaking mode, move forward a little bit and a drunk will
come out of the Canteen, first tent on left, and gets the attention of two
soldiers ahead of you. Wait for them to all walk away. Now sneak through the
middle past them and turn to the left at the tent where the soldier is
sharpening his sword. Slowly move towards the soldier kneeled down by the fence
and he will eventually leave to the left. Head up to where he was and go to the
right to enter a door.
Slowly move through this hallway as a squad moves away from your position.
Continue along the fence as all the soldiers are focused on the fights
happening in the battle ring on the other side of the area. You will find a
soldier peeing and will eventually walk away to the right. Head past this spot
and continue to stick to the fence on your left to wrap around at the corner.
You will run in to the Cook who will start to yell for someone but you can
quickly use Axii on him to calm him. Wait in this area as another patrol unit
comes through a gate on the left. When they are clear head through that gate.
Sneak over to where the soldier by the cliff is standing and stun him so you
can safely make it down the cliff edge to the beach. Now run around to the cave
entrance and you will get the CHILD OF THE NIGHT attribute and you will unlock
an ACHIEVEMENT!!
@Achievement Unlocked - Black Ops
Drop down in to the cave and fight off the Rotfiends that attack. You will want
to take the branch to the right to fight a Bullvore for its brain to have in
Chapter 3 for a very good item recipe. You can also find some decent loot down
this way. Head back and go to the left once you have dealt with the Bullvore.
You can either take another tunnel to the left when you reach the boat stowed
away in the cave to reach a part of the beach with a small cave of items on the
left and a path to the right leading to the section of cave you need to reach
or continue adventuring through the cave deeper to reach the same destination.
If you choose to continue through the cave you can activate a Circle of
Strength and jump the pit to fight a Golem. You will locate the ARMOR OF BAN
ARD which is pretty decent along with some nice boots. Now get to the other end
of the cave to exit. Activate the circle of power on your right and then go to
the left to talk to a Nilfgaardian soldier and be captured.
********
OPTION B
********
Head south west to the brothel and speak to Madame Carol. You can take this
time to have sex with a few prostitutes and then talk to her for a price. Ask
if she knows of a way in to the camp. It will cost at least 500 Orens to get
her to accept the bribe. Once she accepts she will give you a key and tell you
the entrance is inside the tent.
Head inside the tent and wrap around to the right to drop down in to a hole.
Head inside the old tower and go to the door on the far end. The door on the
right is not accessible as it would just bring you right back to the front of
the brothel. After entering the door go to the left and drop down in to the
hole in the floor.
Head through the cave and you will be attacked by a Bullvore as you head north.
Skip the exit to the left as this leads to the camp and kill the Rotfied
wandering around in here. You can either take another tunnel to the left when
you reach the boat stowed away in the cave to reach a part of the beach with a
small cave of items on the left and a path to the right leading to the section
of cave you need to reach or continue adventuring through the cave deeper to
reach the same destination. If you choose to continue through the cave you can
activate a Circle of Strength and jump the pit to fight a Golem. You will
locate the ARMOR OF BAN ARD which is pretty decent along with some nice boots.
Now get to the other end of the cave to exit. Activate the circle of power on
your right and then go to the left to talk to a Nilfgaardian soldier and be
captured.

Tell the ambassador anything as it does not matter and Geralt will have a
flashback. When Geralt comes back from the flashback you find out where Triss
is located. After the next cut scene you must defeat Vanhemar. Using throwing
daggers will be very helpful to stop him from casting Igni spams. Cast Quen and
go in for quick attacks once he teleports himself to a spot. Roll out of the
way of the other soldiers. Roche and Vess will be helping you in this battle as
well. You can grab the ARMOR OF LOC MUINE off Vanhemar once you defeat him.
Kill the remaining soldiers gives you another cut scene, it does not matter
what you say to Roche here. Ask to look around the camp first and search inside
the white tent for SONG OF THE HUNT and AMBASSADOR SHILARD FITZ-DESTERLEN'S
FIRST LETTER TO THE EMPEROR. Now head over to Roche and tell him you are ready.
*******************
IF STENNIS IS ALIVE
*******************
Roche will run a diversion. Go through the door after he does and then hide
behind the crates on the right side while Roche tells the soldiers to help him
with the Nilfgaardians and they all rush past you to the gate. Continue along
the cliff edge to the right and go behind the tent to find a set of barrels you
can use Aard on. This will distract the guards in front of Henselts tent, head
back to the left and enter the tent once they have gone around the corner to
check on what has happened. Talk to Henselt, it yet again does not matter what
you say as he gives you the ROYAL BLOOD no matter what. He then has you
escorted safely out of the camp.
******************
IF STENNIS IS DEAD
******************
Roche will bind you hands and you will have to pretend to be a prisoner. You
must avoid the commanders so they don't see you and question where you are
being taken. Get to the main gate so you can leave the camp.

Head back to Philippa by heading down the ravine and a cut scene will start.
Geralt tells Philippa what happened to Triss and that Cynthia her apprentice
has lied to her.
Start to head back through the mist, shortly you will need to fight some
wraiths with another chance to get the Draugmir Armor Fragment. You will then
have a second opportunity about three-fourths of the way to the other side to
fight another Draugir and the Wraiths that capture the owl. Get through the
exit of the mist and then run back to Vergen.
Get back to Philippa's house for a cut scene and you find out that Cynthia got

back to the mist at the outskirts of the burned village. When you enter the
mist a cut scene will start. You will immediately get possessed by a ghost and
watch a cut scene. You must now head over to the enemies standard and cut it
down. The only problem is the standard bearer has transformed in to a Draugir.
You must fight through some enemies and have none of your normal extra Witcher
moves at this moment. As you get moving forward you will be surrounded by
flames; you can use these to get the enemies to run in to them and take damage
as well. Chop them all down as you run away from any charge attacks to win this
part.
After another cut scene you will have to go inform the Commander that the
standard has been captured and you need reinforcements. You must run through
a hailstorm of flaming arrows that is being fired from your own side. You must
get to wooden structures to hide from the arrows but you can not stay for too
long as the structure will burn down. Just run from one structure to the next
inbetween the horn blows as nothing will stand more than two hits. Once you
make it to the last cover point just run up ahead to start a very important cut
scene.
Now you are possessed by Seltkirk of Gulet. Head forward and kill off the waves
of soldiers as you get near Vandergrift. Once the second wave is killed a
flaming rock will crush the gate so you can move forward. Get over to
Vandergrift to see that he has turned in to a Draug. Geralt will talk to
Seltkirk and tells him to leave as this is a task for a Witcher, not a knight.
You now have some time as Geralt to attack the Draugir that appeared. Get it
down to half health and the Draug will come out and kill it off for you.
Now you must fight the Draug, still as Geralt. Roll out of the way as it
charges through and lay down some Talgar Winters and use Aard on him. Rush in
and hack away at him. Get out of the way when he yells for an assist as flaming
arrows come in from off the side of the area. It is best to roll out of the way
from its charges and back attack him for enormous damage. Once it is defeated
you will unlock an ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - Fat Man

Now you will be possessed once more, this time by a priest. Run down the hill
as you don't have to worry about the soldiers behind you and get to the mists
to make it to Henselt. You will also see another cut scene that advances the
Returning Memories quest some more.

2.05.23 - Vergen Besieged
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the cut scene and asking about what happened head out of Philippa's house
to meet up with Zoltan...don't forget to re-equip your swords. Once you reach
the main gates Saskia will tell Zoltan to prepare the main gate. Wait for him
to finish talking to start a cut scene. Once the Kaedweni army arrives run up
the stairs on the right and fight through the soldiers to reach the large
wooden wheel on the other end to pour hot oil all over the soldiers below.
Clear a few soldier's from up on the top row and then rejoin Zoltan as this is
an infinite supply coming up the ladder. The Kaedwenian army has a mage show up
that blasts through the defenses so you will need to fall back. Do not stay to
long or else Dethmold will show up with a really powerful lightning attack.
Now head up the stairs after Zoltan and prepare Aard for use. The Kaedweni army
will set up more ladders and climb up to where you are and you can shoot them
off the edge with your magic. Fight off the wave of knights as they scale the
wall until a cut scene starts. Once the second wave is over you will have
another cut scene.
Saskia wants you to look through some secret tunnels as a group of scouts did
not return. Have Saskia go with you and head over to the mines by following her
to the entrance. As you enter the mines a group of Mercenaries will be waiting
to attack inside, kill them all. Use Aard to spray them away from you and
strike fast with Dancing Star bombs if you have them. Once the first group is
killed, go through the next door to fight another group.
Move forward in the mines and you will run in to Dethmold and a group of his
mercenaries. Start taking down the numbers of soldiers and as you either are
nearly killed or you almost defeat Dethmold a shocking cut scene will start.
Talk through all the options and then follow Saskia back out of the mines.
Zoltan will be waiting for you and a cut scene will start. If you have saved
the Trolls they will be aiding you in battle now.
Once again defend the walls like you have been until a cut scene starts.
Iorveth has returned with more Scoia�tael archers. Now head up and down the
small set of stairs with Zoltan to reach a ladder to descend. Now head over to
Iorveth for a cut scene and then get Zoltan over to the wheel to have him close
the gates. Another cut scene will start, Iorveth feels that Saskia is not
acting like herself and wants to follow them.
Now head in to Philippa's house and search the back room to find a book on
VENOMS AND POISONS. Philippa has used the Rose of Remembrance to influence
Saskia. Now follow Iorveth to start another cut scene.

2.06.01 - For Temeria!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head along the snowy path and fight off some Harpies as they come down upon
Geralt and Roche. After the second wave of Harpies you can go off to the left
and activate a Circle of Life and take a look at the city below. Head down the
winding path through more Harpies. Once you make it to the base you see some
guards that don't seem to like Geralt. Roche will split up and tell the guards
they should let you through.
For right now wrap around to the right and head up the path as the medallion
goes off. You will find an Arachas in front of you as well as one that appears
behind you. Charge the frontal one so you don't get slashed in the backside
and take them out. Once they are defeated you will find Deithwen Silver Sword
in the bushes to upgrade too.
Now head back to the soldiers that Vernon Roche went up to and vouched for you
to be let in. PC users have to go about this area differently seen in the #
section. Head through the camp and step through the ruins as you cross the
bridge to easily move on and through the main gates doors. Now head through the
middle door and through the Temerian Camp to the other side through another
door. Head up the stairs and over to the left to get through another door. Head
through this room to the back and out another door to finally be at the Town
Square.
###############################################################################
If you are playing the PC version of the game and imported your game save from
the first Witcher game that has Geralt allied with the Order you can try your
luck at walking through the front gates. That is if the Order's current
headmaster is still Siegfried of Denesle. If Siegfried is alive you will be
allowed to pass through the camp without any problems and go straight through
the main gates of the city. This imported save will also add another merchant
to the city.
If you don't have the save then you can head through the cave just before the
spot where you fought the two Arachas. Head through and jump the ledge and
eventually fight through some Endrega. Wrap around the corner to get out of the
caves on the other side of the Orders camp. Now fight through some Harpies and
get around the chasm. Now climb a ledge in the ruins and drop down in to the
building to successfully get in to the city without your imported save. Now get
to Roche in the Town Square.
###############################################################################

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head around in the square to find the man that is pissed off at you from the
the fort in Chapter 2. Beat him at a fist fight and finally finish the quest.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now head around the corner to the man doing push-ups. Arm wrestle him with the
minimum bet as he will win no matter what. Accuse him of cheating and then to
save money in the long run say "Make my day". If you want to beat him at his
own game you will have to invest in a Anabolic Steroids drink purchased from
Marcus.
Saying "Make my day" allows you to fist fight him for an easy win. Now talk to
him again and arm wrestle him for an easy win. He will then give you the
Diagram: LONG ROBUST GAUNTLETS. This also finishes the quest.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now head back to the main area of the Town Square where we were rudely
interrupted by the soldier that wanted revenge over the Square Coins incident.
Talk to the merchant to the left of Roche about the Wild Hunt to learn of a
supposed sword under the city.
Head around the corner and talk to Bras of Ban Ard and talk about the
Manuscript if you didn't sell it. Either bribe him or use Hex on him. He will
then tell you the sequence in which it must be said.
Go to the Notice Board by the Inn and grab the Gargoyle Contract as well. Now
head back to Roche to continue the quest. Follow Roche to the right side and
get a cut scene. Say either line and then head inside and head up to the King.
Say anything you want with him and then when the talking is over head back to
the Town Square with Roche for a cut scene.

2.06.05 - Crown Witness
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Tell the witness you will help her and just leave now. You will load over to a
bridge. Head through the Orders campsite and go through the gate that was not
accessible earlier. She decides to head through the woods as she believes the
men that are looking for her are waiting on the main path. Head along with her
as she runs fast. Head forward and soon you will reach a cut scene.
Head along the winding path and then you will be ambushed by some men, kill
them all before they hurt her. Continue along the path past where the archers
were posted as some Endrega come down from the trees. Now go the opposite way
and drop off a ledge to the path below and take a right. Quickly run in and
kill the group of Bandits waiting around.
Drop down another ledge and continue running forward along the path as it bends
to the right. When you reach the smuggler and his boat you discover that he has
been killed. Fight the enemies that appear and when they are all killed you
start a cut scene. Talk through all the options from the bottom up. Now choose
to stay out in the forest afterwards.
Head back up the path and climb the ledge you dropped down earlier to get back
up to the little camp site where the bandits were stationed at. Turn to the
right and walk up the path to fight off some Endrega. Head up to the nursery
and start attacking the cocoons to summon the Queen Endrega and a minion. Use
Insectod Oil and take them down over by the campfire. Now go back to the ruins
and wait till at least midnight.
Search off to the left of the ruins for a small path that leads back to a long
cave. Head through killing the Neckers you come across and take the left turn
at the intersection. Make sure it is still in the hours of night! Head to the
left towards the fire for more Nekkers hiding around. As you make it towards
the back of the cave Geralt's medallion will start to vibrate.
Head up to the fire in this section and pick up DORIAN'S DIARY. If it is still
late out just past midnight you will activate a fight with a Werewolf. Be
careful and use Quen a lot as the enemy will have a lot of Hit Points. Keep on
it and roll out of the way often placing Yrden traps when possible. Once
defeated you can search it for the WEREWOLF TROPHY. Now head back to Loc Muinne
and your quest will be completed.

2.06.06 - Lilies and Vipers
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back through the Order of the Flames campsite and get back in to town.
Head straight down the middle to talk with Baron Kimbolt as a cut scene ties up
just before Geralt arrives. Confront him about the letter he sent to change the
course on the caravan. No matter what you say about the letter you must choose
whether to take it to a scribe or say they are not credible.
The best option is to choose to take it to his scribe. Leave his tent and turn
to the left to go back through the door and wrap around to your immediate left
through the open doorways. He is piss drunk so head in to his office and search
the two bookcases for the information needed. Now head over to the table and
you will have to try it on some of the draft letters to get it right.
Select "Test a draft letter" and you will need to add the following:
Add burnt lime to the flask

Add water to the flask
Add cormorant guano to the flask
Heat the flask, capture the vapors and douse them with water
Now test the Baron's letter and repeat the process. The letter will then change
to orange. Now head back to Kimbolt to discuss the letter. He then asks you to
look in to another matter. Tell him "What would that be?", then ask where you
can find the messenger and then say you will do it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.06.07 - Pacta Sunt Sevanda
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
As you leave the area you will be notified by a messenger telling Geralt to go
talk to Count Maravel. Head over there now and you will learn that the Baron
has had a lot of Blackmailers coming in and out of his tent. He asks that you
hurry over there to find out what he is being blackmailed for.
Head out the back door to the main square and go through the destroyed hall
just past the inn. Head up to the group and speak with the Mercenary Leader.
You now have to decide whether to let the soldiers take the mercenaries out or
help them. The best option is to help them so you can learn the truth about the
good Baron. Once you learn the important juicy information its time to do the
small job for the Baron.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.06.08 - The Messenger
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now head out of the square and towards the cities main gates to get over to the
fountain. Go talk to Aldrich and tell him "Let's go". Now follow Aldrich
through a door and talk to him again when he stops. He will then point out the
man you are looking for. Run up to catch up with them and Lash tells his two
guards that you are following, kill them.
Now head through the door ahead and you will have to fight five more guards.
Once they are dealt with head through the door in the back right. Head through
the next door on the left to finally catch up to him. He starts casting magic
on the ground through circles that appear, roll out of there way.
In order to hurt him you need to run up to where he is standing and when he
teleports away use Yrden to plant a trap on his spot. Get him to reappear in
this location by running up to him each time and he will teleport to another
pre-determined spot. Once he is caught you can run up to him and he will attack
without teleporting. Take his life down a little bit and then he will cast
Quen on himself. This also starts his Igni attacks at you. Kill him off and
search his body to get some more information.
You learn that this has become a cluster #$*@! The Baron hired the mercenaries
to kill the children, yet Maravel forged a letter to have the caravan re-routed
and had a different mercenary group try to kill everyone.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.06.09 - Lilies and Vipers Continued
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now head to Natalis near the fountain and tell him you know what happened to
the royal children. Since we completed both the previous quests we can accuse
the correct person. Choose to accuse Kimbolt AND Maravel. They can't take them
both so the Constible makes a plan and you finish the quest after the cut scene
ends.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head north from the fountain through the door and head north up the bridge. If
you go to the house on the right you can fight three Gargoyle's. Continue up
the path and fight the Bounty Hunters searching for you. Now head in to the
building next to them to find all the Dice Poker players.
Play against Aylaya and Filly to win a spot against the sorcerer. Go to the
next table over and talk to Hadrian the Black. Once you win against the
sorcerer he tells you to play against his apprentice. Talk to the woman next to
the sorcerer. When you win she tells you to talk to the Incredible Lockhart,
they are located over at the square.
Once you win the final game you can choose Orens or a special item. It is best
to either pick the Runes or the design. NOTE that you should only consider the
diagram if you killed and searched the Trolls as you will need the skins from
them to use it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head past the cheating arm wrestler and Marcus and enter the door just past
them. Head down the stairs in the sewers and through the next door to take a
left. If you already got the pages translated that you didn't sell to Dethmold
back in Chapter 2 you will find a flaming head sentry. Tell it you will talk to
it later and continue through the sewers taking a right.
Fight the Rotfiends you find and then search in the corner of the next room for
a chest that continues the quest. Now head back out of the sewers the way you
came. Gather the items you need and then head over to a craftsman as any will
work even though the game tells you that they have to also be a mage. Once the
item is crafted you will finish the quest.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You should have already picked up the contract from outside the inn off the
board. Now head over to Bras of Ban Ard and ask him if he knows anything about
gargoyles. Buy the Runes of Power volumes I through IV from him as well. Now
seek out Felicia Cori found across the square and buy "GARGOYLES, GUTTERS,
SPLUTTERS" and read it to learn more about the Gargoyles.
Now head down the destroyed hall just past the Inn and use the door on the
right just after going past the dead dwarf. Head down the stairs and take a
right. Head straight down the walkway and through the ruined door to encounter
some Gargoyle's to fight. Once they are defeated go down the stairs and through
the gated door.
You will come to a room with runes glowing all over and a locked chest. Find
and read the podium to get a random clue as to how you must complete this
puzzle. You should read your books on the runes that you bought as well to
learn what each symbol is. Note that you actually only need to know four of the
symbols.
Animal - looks like a 5 or an S

Art - looks like a triangle with a smaller triangle inside
Sky - looks like a square with a line through the middle

Once you read the passage on the podium, match it up to one of the six clues to
get the answer needed. Go up to each symbol and extinguish them. When all of
the runes are de-activated the chest will unlock for you at this time. In the
chest you will locate ADDAN DEITH SILVER SWORD and DIAGRAM: ELDER BLOOD
TROUSERS.
Now leave the ampitheater the way you came and head back through to the square
to get to the east over to the fountain. Now head north to get to where you
played some of the card players earlier. When you enter the area take a right
and then enter the door on the left to fight more Gargoyle's. Once they are all
killed head down the stairs through the gated area. Inside this room you will
have to fight a Golem. Use Falka's Blood on your Silver Sword and keep Quen up.
There is a chance you can get the Golem to become stuck in a corner with the
columns in the way allowing you to open up a range of attacks on it. Take it
down and then check the chest for DIAGRAM: ELDER BLOOD GAUNTLETS.
Head back to the fountain area and head through the main door towards the
entrance to the city. Take a right in this garden room and through the door
around the corner. Go through the door on the left in to another area. Now
take a right and run in to the area where you fought the Mage in "The
Messenger". Once you get in to the heart of the area you will kick on a cut
scene. This part tends to get glitchy and the Gargoyle's either come after you
or they will sit on the roof the whole time. Once they are dealt with head in
to the cellar. Read the portion off the podium and then de-activate the
remaining runes. Once they are taken care of loot the treasure chest and you
will get ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT and DIAGRAM: ELDER BLOOD BOOTS.
Now head back to Bras of Ban Ard in the square to collect your reward and you

Head back to the square and talk to Bras of Ban Ard about the manuscript and
the ingredients needed to break the spell. The ingredients were obtained from
previous chapters:
Warrior Nekker Blood - Obtainable in the Werewolf Cave
Queen Endrega's Pheremones - One shot at the Endrega Nursery outside the
Werewolf Cave
Bullvore Brain - Sewers inside the city (Glitched, will no longer spawn in
sewers...you must get in Chapter 2)
Harpy's Egg / Rotfiend Tongue - north part of town on the high ledges / Sewers
and inside the Werewolf Cave
Be careful not to sell any of these items so you can get your reward!
Once you have all of the ingredients head back and you will get the recipe for
forging the legendary sword named CAERME. Grab the neccessary items needed and
have him craft it for you.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
them. Head down the stairs in to the sewers and through the next door and take
a left. If you already got the pages translated that you didn't sell to
Dethmold back in Chapter 2 you will find a flaming head sentry. It asks for the
password:
Zi
Udda-ya
la-la
Gat
Exa
Nibbit
Kanpa
Gat
Uddu-Zi
Now head in to the magic portal and you will find Garelt in another chamber
where you must solve a puzzle. You have to get all of the braziers to light up
at one time. If you light or extinguish one the braziers the braziers to the
left and right of this one will do the opposite of what it was currently doing
as well.

Then head through the door and down the stairs to talk to a man standing around
down here. You may use this opportunity to reset your stat placements and
change how your Geralt is built. Reload your save after changing the build and
max out each of the three areas to unlock the respective Achievements for
unlocking the certain stats.
@Achievement Unlocked - Swordmaster
@Achievement Unlocked - Master of Magic
@Achievement Unlocked - Master Alchemist
You can also callenge the Operator, but you can't do so if you used him to
reset your stats; you will have to reload your save again. If you have
completed all of the quests up until this point you will have a lot of the
required items needed to bring with you in to this battle. Grab a lot of Talgar
Winter traps to have on hand along with a good stock of Dancing Stars and
potions you want to use; also have the ingredients in your stash to be able to
make more on the fly.
Use Hanged Man's Venom on your Steel Sword, which should be Caerme. Equip Addan
Deith or if you have a stronger Silver Sword have that ready as well. Make sure
to create and equip the complete set of Elder Blood and the Vran armor or
Ysgith armor if you are a mage build. Fully equip your equipment with Armor
Enhancements and Runes as you will need all the advantages as possible to work
through this fight. You should also be at or very close to max level 35 at this
point as well. Drink your strongest potion enhancements at this time.
Now go talk to the Operator and tell him "I'm no chosen one" to piss him off in
to a fight with you.
He will start the fight by usually spam shooting Geralt seeking fireballs. The
Operator will also cast Quen, which you should do the same. As he starts to
create a fireball you will want to roll over to him and start attacking him
from the side and get a few hits before he casts Quen on himself. Use your
STEEL SWORD with the oil on it as he is considered a human enemy. Do not get
him cornered as he will then teleport across the room or smash his staff on you
causing Geralt to be stunned or knocked down. Use Igni and Dancing Stars on him
to help keep his health low; it regenerates faster than any enemy in the game.
In this first stage of the fight you will want to prevent the ability of
summoning any Gargoyles in to the fight. For every 25% of health the Operator
loses he will summon two extremely over powered Gargoyles to the fight to help
him out. If they get summoned you will need to switch to your Silver Sword to
do good damage to them.
## In order to prevent the Gargoyles from being summoned you can run up to each
of the four pillars and extinguish the flames. Once ALL FOUR are extinguished
the Gargoyles can not be summoned, allowing you to focus on the Operator. ALSO
NOTE that the Operator will be able to summon one set of Gargoyles after you
have extinguished the flames, once they are dealt with he will not be able to
call for more.
Once you defeat the Operator he will drop the best prize for the entire fight,
the OPERATOR'S STAFF, along with DRAGON SCALES, a Vran Armor Enhancement, and a
Magic Wrap. The staff has an amazing 80% chance of incineration and a 10%
chance to freeze.

You must now decide if you want to help Roche or find Triss and this WILL
CHANGE your ending depending on what you choose. It's best to help Triss and
play to the end of the game and then load the other save to play through for
two more endings. Once you decide who you are helping this quest will finish
up.
To help Triss go to 2.06.16 otherwise to help Roche go to 2.06.17.

From the square head north along the left side of the building where the
cheating arm wrestler is. You will find Shilard Fitz-Oesterien arguing with
the guards not to let anyone in or out of the door. Talk to him about Triss
and watch the cut scene. Geralt takes him hostage and this completes the "For
Temeria!" quest.
Move forward towards the crossbow guard and take a right along with the guard.
This will start a cut scene and they will kill your hostage. Kill all the
guards and then check your dead hostages body for a letter to the emperor. Head
through the open doorway to the narrow hallway and climb up the ladder quickly.
Turn to the right and get up to the two archer guards to kill them. Continue
this way and drop down a few ledges to make it down to some water.
Use some Hanged Man's Venom Oil on your blade as they send a lot of guards in
to the pond to attack you. Mow them down and then climb up the side to start
another cut scene. Say what you want to him and then you will be in a large
fight again with more soldiers. Roll around to dodge the mages spells and the
arrows that start to shoot at you. As you whittle them down the shielded guards
will be called in to fight you as well. Soon after that Matsen will equip a
large shield as well and come down to fight Geralt too.
Once you kill them all take the keys from his dead body. Now head down the
stairs and unlock the door. Head down the stairs and talk to Triss with a very
long cut scene. Now take Triss out of the prison cell and through the door past
the dead guards as Triss talks about them. Head back through the hall and out
the door for another cut scene. Once it is done you will receive 2,500 XP and
this should get you to level 35 and thus unlocking an ACHIEVEMENT!

Head in to the square and go down the slope down in to the sewers to locate
Roche standing around. You can tell him at this point that you found out what
happened to the two children. Now tell him you are ready to go if you want to
side with him. Now watch the cut scene and then use Axii to get past the guards
at the gate.
Run down the tunnel and then watch another cut scene. You will then have to
bust out your sword and start fighting guards off to your right as Roche takes
out the archers on the left wall. Once you dispose of them another group will
be told to rush in as Dethmold's Apprentice teleports out of the area. Kill the
next wave of guards and move forward to the tower and go through the door on
the left.
Fight through the wave of enemies as you dodge the arrows coming from the wall
straight ahead. Take a right and watch out for the apprentice's fireballs that
he shoots down. You will want to definitely start to use Quen at this point if
you haven't started to already. Mow through the three shielded guards here. Now
move forward in to another camp area and kill some more guards on the ground.
Once they are all killed the apprentice will teleport down to the ground for
you to fight.
Head down the stairs that become unblocked once the apprentice is dead and
enter the door. You can't get to the girl yet, if you let Roche kill Henselt
you will find his body laying on a stone table in this room. Going near the
body starts a short cut scene. Now take a left in this room to try and find
Dethmold. Watch the cut scene and then search his body for DETHMOLD'S SAFE KEY.
Now open the safe to find FORGOTTEN VRAN SWORD.

Head back to the other room to find the girl now free and then a cut scene will
start to play. You must now make a decision here which will change the ending:
"Kings don't always keep their word..." will make Roche think twice about his
plans and hand her over to Natalis. You then have to follow up with "Stop and
think - what else could you do?" and then "Freedom comes at a price".
To bring her to Radovid simply tell him "Ok, let's go". Head outside and then
the Order of the Flaming Rose will take her to Radovid. You will then unlock an
ACHIEVEMENT. (Same achievement as below if you played one way or the other)
@Achievement Unlocked - Kingmaker
If you chose to not take her to Radovid you will have to fight through the
Order that waits outside the door. Make sure to have the Forgotten Vran Sword
equipped so they are frozen very fast. move forward and through the door. Go
back through the sewers and up to the gate to start a cut scene. This will also
unlock an ACHIEVEMENT! (Same achievement as above if you played one way or the
other)

Head back through the square and down the ruined hall just to the right of the
Inn. As you head towards the door on the side a cut scene will start up
depending on whether you let Roche kill Henselt earlier or not. Now go through
the doorway towards the ampitheater.
Head down and to the left to find Triss or Roche here, depending on who you
just got done helping, and talk to them. Tell them you are ready to go and
watch the cut scene.

Immediately use Quen and run up the stairs behind you past all of the flaming
bleachers. Run straight up to the tower as Sile starts to tell you to turn back
before you die. Right before climbing up the ledge drink any potions you want
to use for this battle. Keep rolling up the stairs as the dragon attacks
through the tower. Watch a cut scene and then Sile will tell Geralt someone
sabatoged her teleporter. She asks that you remove the flawed diamond, you will
have to do both decisions on two seperate playthroughs, or reloads, as this
will unlock two different ACHIEVEMENTS! Note that this part does not influence
the endings as well.
@Achievement Unlocked - Witch Hunter
or if you decided to remove the flawed diamond...
@Achievement Unlocked - Sensitive Guy
Also if you save her she will tell you more information on what is going on.
Soon after your decision the dragon will bust through the wall forcing you to
fight it as the stairs are no longer accessible. Simply dodge the attacks of
the dragon and slice at its head with your Silver Sword. Cast Quen on yourself
again and keep at it until you drop the dragon's HP to half.
Once you drop the health down far enough a cut scene will play and the tower
floor will be smashed up. Geralt will now be left on a ledge of the tower wall
and need to climb up the edge on the left side. Climb up to the roof and the
dragon will then fly back over to you.
Once again roll around to dodge the attacks and come in from a side to hit the
dragon once or twice, then roll away so it can't hit you with a defensive
swipe. When the dragon gets up in the air you can throw some bombs and daggers
at it to deal some damage, this can be a little troublesome if you time it
wrong and get hit by fire; also remember to keep your Quen up. Keep taking down
its life until a cut scene starts. Once in the cut scene be ready to press some
buttons that the game calls out for Quick Time Events. You will then have to
decide what happens to the dragon. This just like Sile does not change anything
for the games ending, however you will get one of two ACHIEVEMENTS!

Head down the mountain path with Iorveth and kill the Harpies that fly down to
attack you. When you reach the bottom a cut scene will start up. Now you must
decide to go through the caves with Iorveth or check out the camp.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Taking the caves with Iorveth
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Follow Iorveth down in to the caves around the corner, follow him until you
reach the waterfall for a cut scene on a monster lurking in the background.
Jump the chasm and run through the cave until you reach the Arachas that you
must fight. Cast Yrden and attack it in the back to kill it quickly.
Continue up the path where some Endegra Warriors are and eventually you will
make it out of the caves to kill more Harpies. Head up the path and then climb
up the side of the wall to jump down to the room below. Head in to a larger
room where you and Iorveth will be attacked by some Gargoyles. Now go through
two doors to reach the front of Loc Muine and then pass the main door to the
other side door. Once you reach the cut scene of the knights you will have to
make a decision to either let the knights arrest you or sneak through the
sewers.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Taking a look at the Order's Camp
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
If you head up to the camp you will be stopped by the knights and have to fight
through them....you will not survive unless you are playing on PC with the
following conditions:
###############################################################################
If you are playing the PC version of the game and imported your game save from
the first Witcher game that has Geralt allied with the Order you can walk
through the front gates. That is if the Order's current headmaster is still
Siegfried of Denesle. If Siegfried is alive you will be allowed to pass through
the camp without any problems and go straight through the main gates of the
city. This imported save will also add another merchant to the city.
###############################################################################
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Getting Arrested
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Go up to any patrol and let them defeat you and you will be arrested. Now ask
Philippa all the questions and then Radovid will come and take out her eyes.
You will need to use Igni to undo your bindings and then a cut scene will start
as Geralt kills a guard and knocks out the Ambassador. Now fight the next guard
with the newly acquired sword. Now head over and talk to Philippa again.
Now you must decide to save Triss or help Saskia. If you want to save Triss
you will continue "Where is Triss Merigold?". If you choose to help Saskia you
will have to complete "The Spellbreaker" quest.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Going through the Sewers
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Head through the door on the side which activates some Gargoyles to fight..or
avoid them and roll through the door to the left as they won't follow you. Head
to the right and kill the bounty hunters. Head around the Dice Poker house for
now and take a left to go up a ramp and climb a wall. Kill the Harpies that
attack and then take a left to go down the slope.
Avoid the soldiers at the first right turn and go around the building so they
don't see you. Now take a left and enter the door on the left to enter the
sewers. Go down the stairs and take a left to go through another door. Turn to
the left and head down in to a room to take a right where you will have to
fight some Rotfiends. Get to the other end and here you will locate parts to
"Mystic River" if you want to grab it now or come back for it. Now turn left
and go through the gate.
Kill the Rotfiend in here and then climb the ledge on the left side of the
tunnel. Kill the Rotfiend and drop down at the other end to kill more. Climb up
the two ledges on the right and fight another group of Rotfiends. Now drop down
the ledge and run straight ahead for a cut scene.
Wait for the guards to scout ahead in to the sewers and kill them. Now head
back up to get the rest of the guards to come after you and kill them. Enter
the cell on the right to start a cut scene that will kill the final guard and
knock out the ambassador.
Ask your questions and then you must decide to save Triss or help Saskia. If
you want to save Triss you will continue "Where is Triss Merigold?". If you
choose to help Saskia you will have to complete "The Spellbreaker" quest.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Geralt will grab Ambassador Shilard Fitz-Desterlen and have him tell you how he
got in to the dungeon. Leave the cell and take a left through the door as you
can't go anywhere else. Go down the stairs to the Sewers and take a left to
enter another open door to head back up the stairs. At the top of the stairs
turn to the left with the armed guards. This will start a cut scene and they
will kill your hostage. Kill all the guards and then check your dead hostages
body for a letter to the emperor. Head through the open doorway to the narrow
hallway and climb up the ladder quickly. Turn to the right and get up to the
two archer guards to kill them. Continue this way and drop down a few ledges to
make it down to some water.
Use some Hanged Man's Venom Oil on your blade as they send a lot of guards in
to the pond to attack you. Mow them down and then climb up the side to start
another cut scene. Say what you want to him and then you will be in a large
fight again with more soldiers. Roll around to dodge the mages spells and the
arrows that start to shoot at you. As you whittle them down the shielded guards
will be called in to fight you as well. Soon after that Matsen will equip a
large shield as well and come down to fight Geralt too.
Once you kill them all take the keys from his dead body. Now head down the
stairs and unlock the door. Head down the stairs and talk to Triss with a very
long cut scene. Now take Triss out of the prison cell and through the door past
the dead guards as Triss talks about them. Head back through the hall and out
the door for another cut scene. Now you can work on side quests.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.07.03 - The Spellbreaker
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head straight ahead down in to the sewers and Iorveth will join up with you as
he kills some Nilfgaardian soldiers. Take a right and follow Iorveth in to the
next section of the sewer. Now you can ask more questions and then Geralt tells
Iorveth to lead her as he takes the lead to kill any monsters in the way.
Head through the next gate and kill the massive swarm of Rotfiends. Now
continue through the sewer and go through another door to kill a large group of
Rotfiends. Now enter the gate to the right and head up the stairs in front of
the others to make sure the coast is clear. Once you get inside kill off the
Gargoyles guarding the house and then Iorveth and Philippa will enter. Grab
PHILIPPA EILHART'S NOTES off the desk in the room to the right and the DRAGON
SCALES as well for the third set of Dark Armor if you are on Dark Mode. Now go
to the other room and go upstairs for a cut scene.
Now you must use her notes to perform the candle lighting. You will see three
patterns in the notes and only one is correct...it is random. Try them one at
a time until you hear Geralt say that was right. Then Philippa summons an
Elemental and flies away as the owl. Keep Quen up and don't stop moving as
explosive blasts will continuosly come under your feet. Whittle down its health
and eventually you will defeat it. Once defeated take the dagger from the chest
and then have a discussion with Iorveth. Once the cut scene is over you will
have unlocked an ACHIEVEMENT!

2.07.04 - The Secrets of Loc Muinne (Dearhenna's Journal)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head to the square and you will see a cut scene about a man not wanting to do
work for sorceresses...its the same group of scientists you encountered back in
Flotsam. They are working for Cynthia agree to work with them or tell them you
will think about it and come back later. They will meet you under the tower,
you can get to them by simply entering the door to it in the front. You have
two choices of meeting up with the group, a quick way or an adventurous harder
way:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ADVENTUROUS HARD WAY
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Go in the door and head to the first door you come to, pull out your Silver
Sword to ready yourself against some Bruxa and Wraiths. Be very careful of the
Resonating Crystal, if you hit it the crystal will take a decent chunk of your
health. Once they are all defeated you must solve the puzzle of the crystals.
Use Igni on the two crystals that have the lamps next to them and use Aard on
the two that have nothing next to them to open the passage forward.
Head through the hall and go in to the next room. Head to the other side of the
room to face the large lizard-man statue. You must pick up the FORGOTTEN VRAN
SWORD and this will activate a Guard to battle. Watch out as he uses Quen and
Igni spams a lot. He will also teleport on to the ledges on the sides and will
then use this opportunity to summon two Wraiths, however every time he is able
to summon it will add another Wraith...so the second time he summons there will
be three wraiths, fourth time he summons there will be five wraiths, etc.. Use
Quen on yourself and throw some Dancing Stars when you can. While you are
fighting the Wraiths you will need to make sure not to stand in one spot for to
long or the Guard will cast a fireball where you are standing.
Once the Guard is dead another door will open for you to go through. You will
fight a few Bruza and a Wraith. You can also get the DIAGRAM: NILFGAARDIAN
FALCONER'S GAUNTLETS. Head through the next door and go up the stairs to the
next door and enter it...this places you in the Quick Way section after
entering its door.
%%%%%%%%%
QUICK WAY
%%%%%%%%%
Go in the door and head all the way down, skip the first door you pass and
enter the second. You can peek through the hole on the right to over hear the
conversation. Head inside and either tell Cynthia "There will be no deals" to
kill them all or continue the quest by saying "Let's hear it". It is
recommended to continue on with the quest...if you play your cards right you
can also have sex with Cynthia later on. Next agree to help. Scavenge the area
and then move in to the cave system with the group.
Head through the gate and fight off the monsters that appear, usually Rotfiends
are in this section of the sewers. Once they are defeated head through the next
door and take a left. You must now fight some Endrega's along with a Queen
Endrega. Once they are dealt with you can go the opposite way the group is
going through another door to fight more Rotfiends alone to gather crafting
items. Now head through the gate towards the laboratory.
In this next room you will find GYNVAEL AEDD, a silver sword. As you move close
to the other side a cut scene will start showing you that the Redanians are now
in the sewers looking around as well. Head a little ways down the hallway and
another cut scene will start that reveals the entrance. You will now be facing
a Guardian Eye that has a random riddle:
"Pleasant or terrible, I come at night or in daytime. Short or long, but yours

alone, essential, I am..."
Answer: Dream
"I'm seen to fly, described as hard. I can be your currency and heal all
wounds, but not many things can stand my test."
Answer: Time
"Capable of kindness and cruelty, I take victims when I sour. I can be on your
side or wrong you. I bring gifts, though you already have me."
Answer: Fate
Head through the door and down the hall for a cut scene to see that someone has
dropped down from above with rope recently. Gather items further down the hall
and then come back to go through the door. You will now need to defeat a squad
of Redanian soldiers inside the laboratory. Once they are all dead take the
ASTROLOGICAL CURIOS, LEGENDARY TREASURES, THE GNOMES OF MAHAKAM AND TIR TOCHAIR
and ASTROLOGICAL CHARTS books to read quickly as Cynthia activates the next
Guardian Eye. Go to the door after reading the books and looking at each of the
alcoves. The Guardian Eye will give you another riddle to solve:
"A group of travelers wandering through the dark, three guides above them so
three were marked. At night they trailed a drake serpentine and a silver lady,
shining and fine, if only her visage she would deign to unfold. By day they
followed a mountain fault, its riches untold."
Ask about the first verse and choose The Dragon Constellation.
Ask about the second verse and choose The Full Moon.
Now ask about the third verse and choose The Mines Leading in to the Mountain.
Now give it a shot and stand at the mines picture just to the left of the Eye.
The last scientist will be burned alive as an intruder for not participating in
the puzzle and the door will open revealing a Golem. SAVE YOUR GAME here and
then head inside. You must persuade the Golem that it is a living creature. Ask
him everything you can and then use Axii to persuade the Golem in to believing
it is a live creature, if you fail you can either reload or kill three Golems
which are very powerful. You must use Quen and Yrden....or answer just like
this and you will completely mess up its mind to pass easily:
Do you have a name?

What exactly are you?
Has anyone tried to enter before us?
Who is allowed to pass?
Can you make sovereign decisions?
I have other questions
You're a masterpiece
You are self aware. Are you lonely?
Can I ask you for your name-word?
Can I ask about your program?
I have other questions
I know enough
I know you're a guardian, and I respect that
I'm a guest here and I wish to talk
Let's talk about lies and delusions
Only you and the master's will exist. Everything else is
doubtful
Now search the room and you will find ECLIPSE, a Silver Sword, starting on the
left side. Then grab DEARHENNA'S NOTES I and then DEARHENNA'S NOTES II to the
right of that. Soon after a cut scene will happen and then Geralt demands his
payment. Cynthia tells him he was part of the Wild Hunt and had survived. Then
ask if there are anymore details. She tells you not to trust Letho, that he is
your foe today...but he wasn't always. Then get the other details to find out
that the only proof you have about being of the Hunt is by knowing that the
spies would be killed for lying...and that Cynthia likes you.
You now can finish this quest in three ways...
All right. We're even. - Geralt lets the two go and they teleport away. You
will not get to continue the side quests that lead up
to sleeping with Cynthia.
I can't let you leave with that thing - You will be forced to fight Cynthia and
Adalbert at the same time. Use Quen and
kill Cynthia first. Try to spam Aard on
Adalbert to interrupt his Quen spells.
Loot Cynthia's body for DEARHENNA'S
NOTES IV and BANE OF THE VRANS. This
will finish "Dearhenna's Journal" once
you collect the other two pages on the
other side of the room and starts "A
Tome Truly Rare". You obviously will
not be able to have sex with Cynthia
doing this option. Also you get to use
the artifact three times.
I'd like to try the artifact - This is your best option. You will have to fight
Adalbert but Cynthia will help you. Keep Quen up
and spam Aard on him to take down his Quen. Then
go in for an attack when the protection drops.
You get to use the device once with this option.
Once him and his clones are dead ask Cynthia
some questions before using the artifact. When
asked if you get to meet her again she tells you
to find her at the Inn. Now use the device and
select someone to spy on. Cynthia will then
teleport out to the Inn. Grab the other
DEARHENNA'S NOTES III and V if you haven't
already and then loot Adalbert for DEARHENNA'S
NOTES IV. This concludes "Dearhenna's Journal"
Now head through the door you have not been through to get FORMULA: SPECTRE OIL
and then head out the way you came to be teleported up to the surface.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Now head over to the large muscular man next to the tower with the store clerk.
Arm wrestle him with the minimum bet as he will win no matter what. Accuse him
of cheating and then to save money in the long run say "Make my day". If you
want to beat him at his own game you will have to invest in a Anabolic Steroids
drink purchased from Marcus.
Saying "Make my day" allows you to fist fight him for an easy win. Now talk to
him again and arm wrestle him for an easy win. He will then give you the
Diagram: LONG ROBUST GAUNTLETS. This also finishes the quest.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.07.06 - A Tome Truly Rare
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
IF CYNTHIA IS ALIVE
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Head to the Inn in the main commons area and talk to her right inside the door.
Now say the following:
What did Dearhenna actually research?

I know about the book
Every word you say is a lie
I'm curious to know the real Cynthia
[Embrace Cynthia]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
IF CYNTHIA IS DEAD
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
You already have the book Bane of the Vrans in your possession and can decide
to sell it to Bras of Ban Ard or not.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Save your game as this is a bit glitchy!
Head north from the Inn and go past the tower and go all the way to the back.
Take a left and head up the hill to kill your way through the Harpies. Take a
right and jump down from the ledge to the ramp below. Go to the right and kill
the bounty hunters looking for you and then head in to the building to your
left where the Dice Players are playing to start a cut scene.
You must fight Silgrat in a fist fight once again to finally be done with him.
Unfortunately it is sometimes difficult to use the A Button of the Xbox 360
version as the dice players are so close the game prompts to talk with them. If
you do click the button at the wrong time you may start a conversation with
someone and be glitched out of the fight, with no way to get back in to it
unless you reload your save.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In the same building where you fought Silgrat you will find all the Dice Poker
players.
Play against Aylaya and Filly to win a spot against the sorcerer. Go to the
next table over and talk to Hadrian the Black. Once you win against the
sorcerer he tells you to play against his apprentice. Talk to the woman next to
the sorcerer. When you win she tells you to talk to the Incredible Lockhart,
they are located over at the square.
Once you win the final game you can choose Orens or a special item. It is best
to either pick the Runes or the design. NOTE that you should only consider the
diagram if you killed and searched the Trolls as you will need the skins from
them to use it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
them. Head down the stairs in the sewers and through the next door to take a
left and then continue through the sewers taking a right.
Fight the Rotfiends you find and then search in the corner of the next room for
a chest that continues the quest. Now head back out of the sewers the way you
came. Gather the items you need and then head over to a craftsman as any will
work even though the game tells you that they have to also be a mage. Once the
item is crafted you will finish the quest.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You should have already picked up the contract from outside the Inn off the
board. Now head over to Bras of Ban Ard and ask him if he knows anything about
gargoyles. Buy the Runes of Power volumes I through IV from him as well. Now
seek out Felicia Cori found across the square and buy "GARGOYLES, GUTTERS,
SPLUTTERS" and read it to learn more about the Gargoyles.
Now head down the destroyed hall just past the Inn and use the door on the
right just after going past the dead dwarf. If Stennis is alive you will get a
cut scene here. Head down the stairs and take a right. Head straight down the
walkway and through the ruined door to encounter some Gargoyle's to fight. Once
they are defeated go down the stairs and through the gated door.
You will come to a room with runes glowing all over and a locked chest. Find
and read the podium to get a random clue as to how you must complete this
puzzle. You should read your books on the runes that you bought as well to
learn what each symbol is. Note that you actually only need to know four of the
symbols.
Animal - looks like a 5 or an S

Art - looks like a triangle with a smaller triangle inside
Sky - looks like a square with a line through the middle
Time - Looks like an hourglass with the top removed or a teepee
First Clue:
A doe's long shadow
The moon quietly moans
It is autumn already
Answer: ANIMAL, SKY, ART, TIME
Second Clue:
Three field mice
Dance in a circle at dusk
Stars are like grain
Anwer: ANIMAL, ART, TIME, SKY
Third Clue:
Glittering fish
Dying on a fresco
Struck by lightning
Answer: ANIMAL, TIME, ART, SKY
Fourth Clue:
Behold the comet
It is like a wolf in times of scarceness
An evil lullaby
Answer: SKY, ANIMAL, TIME, ART
Fifth Clue:
Divertimento!
Clouds are like bees
When bells ring
Answer: ART, SKY, ANIMAL, TIME
Sixth Clue:
On the dark sky
The beauty of a falcon's flight
Faster and faster
Answer: SKY, ART, ANIMAL, TIME
Once you read the passage on the podium, match it up to one of the six clues to
get the answer needed. Go up to each symbol and extinguish them. When all of
the runes are de-activated the chest will unlock for you at this time. In the
chest you will locate ADDAN DEITH SILVER SWORD and DIAGRAM: ELDER BLOOD
TROUSERS.
Now leave the ampitheater the way you came and head back through to the square
to get to the east over to the fountain. Now head north to get to where you
played some of the card players earlier. When you enter the area take a right
and then enter the door on the left to fight more Gargoyle's. Once they are all
killed head down the stairs through the gated area. Inside this room you will
have to fight a Golem. Use Falka's Blood on your Silver Sword and keep Quen up.
There is a chance you can get the Golem to become stuck in a corner with the
columns in the way allowing you to open up a range of attacks on it. Take it
down and then check the chest for DIAGRAM: ELDER BLOOD GAUNTLETS.
Head back to the fountain area and head through the main door towards the
entrance to the city. Take a right in this garden room and through the door
around the corner. Go through the door on the left in to another area. Now
take a right and run in to the area where you fought the Mage in "The
Messenger". Once you get in to the heart of the area you will kick on a cut
scene. This part tends to get glitchy and the Gargoyle's either come after you
or they will sit on the roof the whole time. Once they are dealt with head in
to the cellar. Read the portion off the podium and then de-activate the
remaining runes. Once they are taken care of loot the treasure chest and you
will get ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT and DIAGRAM: ELDER BLOOD BOOTS.
Now head back to Bras of Ban Ard in the square to collect your reward and you
@Achievement Unlocked - Pest Control
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Head back to the square and talk to Bras of Ban Ard about the manuscript and
the ingredients needed to break the spell. The ingredients were obtained from
previous chapters:
Warrior Nekker Blood - Must be obtained in Chapter 2
Queen Endrega's Pheremones - One shot in the sewers during "The Secrets of Loc
Muinne" unless you already have some from previous
chapters
Bullvore Brain - Sewers inside the city (Glitched, will no longer spawn in
sewers...you must get in Chapter 2)
Harpy's Egg / Rotfiend Tongue - north part of town on the high ledges / Sewers
Be careful not to sell any of these items so you can get your reward!
Once you have all of the ingredients head back and you will get the recipe for
forging the legendary sword named CAERME. Grab the neccessary items needed and
have him craft it for you.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
them. Head down the stairs in to the sewers and through the next door and take
a left. If you already got the pages translated that you didn't sell to
Dethmold back in Chapter 2 you will find a flaming head sentry. It asks for the
password:
Zi
Udda-ya
la-la
Gat
Exa
Nibbit
Kanpa
Gat
Uddu-Zi
Now head in to the magic portal and you will find Garelt in another chamber
where you must solve a puzzle. You have to get all of the braziers to light up
at one time. If you light or extinguish one the braziers the braziers to the
left and right of this one will do the opposite of what it was currently doing
as well.

Then head through the door and down the stairs to talk to a man standing around
down here. You may use this opportunity to reset your stat placements and
change how your Geralt is built. Reload your save after changing the build and
max out each of the three areas to unlock the respective Achievements for
unlocking the certain stats.
@Achievement Unlocked - Swordmaster
@Achievement Unlocked - Master of Magic
@Achievement Unlocked - Master Alchemist
You can also callenge the Operator, but you can't do so if you used him to
reset your stats; you will have to reload your save again. If you have
completed all of the quests up until this point you will have a lot of the
required items needed to bring with you in to this battle. Grab a lot of Talgar
Winter traps to have on hand along with a good stock of Dancing Stars and
potions you want to use; also have the ingredients in your stash to be able to
make more on the fly.
Use Hanged Man's Venom on your Steel Sword, which should be Caerme. Equip Addan
Deith or if you have a stronger Silver Sword have that ready as well. Make sure
to create and equip the complete set of Elder Blood and the Vran armor or
Ysgith armor if you are a mage build. Fully equip your equipment with Armor
Enhancements and Runes as you will need all the advantages as possible to work
through this fight. You should also be at or very close to max level 35 at this
point as well. Drink your strongest potion enhancements at this time.
Now go talk to the Operator and tell him "I'm no chosen one" to piss him off in
to a fight with you.
He will start the fight by usually spam shooting Geralt seeking fireballs. The
Operator will also cast Quen, which you should do the same. As he starts to
create a fireball you will want to roll over to him and start attacking him
from the side and get a few hits before he casts Quen on himself. Use your
STEEL SWORD with the oil on it as he is considered a human enemy. Do not get
him cornered as he will then teleport across the room or smash his staff on you
causing Geralt to be stunned or knocked down. Use Igni and Dancing Stars on him
to help keep his health low; it regenerates faster than any enemy in the game.
In this first stage of the fight you will want to prevent the ability of
summoning any Gargoyles in to the fight. For every 25% of health the Operator
loses he will summon two extremely over powered Gargoyles to the fight to help
him out. If they get summoned you will need to switch to your Silver Sword to
do good damage to them.
## In order to prevent the Gargoyles from being summoned you can run up to each
of the four pillars and extinguish the flames. Once ALL FOUR are extinguished
the Gargoyles can not be summoned, allowing you to focus on the Operator. ALSO
NOTE that the Operator will be able to summon one set of Gargoyles after you
have extinguished the flames, once they are dealt with he will not be able to
call for more.
Once you defeat the Operator he will drop the best prize for the entire fight,
the OPERATOR'S STAFF, along with DRAGON SCALES, a Vran Armor Enhancement, and a
Magic Wrap. The staff has an amazing 80% chance of incineration and a 10%
chance to freeze.

Head back through the square and down the ruined hall just to the right of the
Inn. As you head towards the door on the side a cut scene will start up
depending on whether you let Stennis die earlier or not, if you haven't already
let the cut scene start. Now go through the doorway towards the ampitheater.
Talk to Triss or Iorveth at the door, depending on whether you rescued Triss or
helped Philippa. If you helped Triss you will need to head down to the soldiers
by the gate and kill them so the two of you can get through. If you helped
Philippa back to her house then Iorveth has already killed the guards and will
be waiting for you to head in with him.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Immediately use Quen and run up the stairs behind you past all of the flaming
bleachers. Run straight up to the tower as Sile starts to tell you to turn back
before you die. Right before climbing up the ledge drink any potions you want
to use for this battle. Keep rolling up the stairs as the dragon attacks
through the tower. Watch a cut scene and then Sile will tell Geralt someone
sabatoged her teleporter. She asks that you remove the flawed diamond, you will
have to do both decisions on two seperate playthroughs, or reloads, as this
will unlock two different ACHIEVEMENTS! Note that this part does not influence
the endings as well.
@Achievement Unlocked - Witch Hunter
or if you decided to remove the flawed diamond...
@Achievement Unlocked - Sensitive Guy
Also if you save her she will tell you more information on what is going on.
Soon after your decision the dragon will bust through the wall forcing you to
fight it as the stairs are no longer accessible. Simply dodge the attacks of
the dragon and slice at its head with your Silver Sword. Cast Quen on yourself
again and keep at it until you drop the dragon's HP to half.
Once you drop the health down far enough a cut scene will play and the tower
floor will be smashed up. Geralt will now be left on a ledge of the tower wall
and need to climb up the edge on the left side. Climb up to the roof and the
dragon will then fly back over to you.
Once again roll around to dodge the attacks and come in from a side to hit the
dragon once or twice, then roll away so it can't hit you with a defensive
swipe. When the dragon gets up in the air you can throw some bombs and daggers
at it to deal some damage, this can be a little troublesome if you time it
wrong and get hit by fire; also remember to keep your Quen up. Keep taking down
its life until a cut scene starts. Once in the cut scene be ready to press some
buttons that the game calls out for Quick Time Events. You will then have to
decide what happens to the dragon. If you saved Triss then it does not really
matter which option you choose, you can use this opportunity to get either
achievement that you still don't have. If you freed Philippa and escorted her
back to her house and need to free Saskia of the spell then you will need to
rescue her at this point....you will get one of two ACHIEVEMENTS!

If you chose to rescue Triss
###############################################################################
Triss helps Geralt up the wall and back inside the city and tells him what
happened while he was gone fighting the dragon. She also explains that Letho
is waiting for him over at the fountain.
SAVE YOUR GAME in case you want to change your mind on what to do with Letho!!!
Head left through the doorway and drop down the ledge. Head down the ramp and
in to the street for a cut scene. Roche has rescued Foltests daughter and is
being attacked by Kaedwini guards. Geralt and Triss run up to aide him to
protect the daughter. Fight off the guards and as usual WATCH OUT for Triss's
happy trigger finger as she lights up anyone that gets in the way....is she
really on Geralt's side? wtf?!
After they are dead another cut scene will start to play with Roche's anger on
not helping him. Roche and the child set off in to hiding for a while. Head
down the stairs or ramp and take a left along the street and go through the
only accessible door.
Head over to the three mages for a cut scene and learn that the city will be
sealed off in one hours time. Now take a right and head in to the doorway to
reach the fountain area and activate another cut scene, Letho. Now head over to
Letho to find that he switched out the diamond on Sile as one last prank.
He offers Geralt vodka, it doesn't matter what you answer to on this. He then
triggers memories to come back. After the cut scene say "I chased you for many
reasons." and then go through the list of questions to learn what has happened
for your old friend Letho and Yennefer. He also has a ton of other information
on the entire plot of the game as to why everything went down. Once you are
done talking to your old friend say "Let's finish this".
Now you must decide whether to fight and kill your old friend or not. If you
decide to let him leave unharmed say "Go. Somewhere far away." This will unlock
an ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - Old Friends
Watch the cut scene of the ending you have made with your decisions and then
another ACHIEVEMENT will unlock. When helping Triss she has two endings
depending on whether or not you let Roche kill Henselt.
@Achievement Unlocked - To Be Continued
If you decide to fight Letho tell him "Give it your best shot". Now oil your
sword with Hanged Man's Venom and lay down some traps and use Yrden. Be careful
with him as he is now speed boosted from the last time you fought him. Like the
last time you fought him you will want to stay semi-close as he will throw
bombs at you if you run to far. Keep Quen up at all times and slowly take his
health down.
When his health gets to the last quarter of a bar he becomes raged. He will get
a little stronger and still keep on you extremely tough. With careful moves and
good trap placements you can take him down nicely. Once you defeat him you get
to watch a cut scene and then unlock an ACHIEVEMENT!
@Achievement Unlocked - Avenger
Watch the final cut scene and unlock another ACHIEVEMENT.
If you played the entire game on Dark Difficulty you will unlock one final
ACHIEVEMENT!

the closed door. As you make your way down the stairs or ramp the Order of the
Flaming Rose will attack from around the corner. Continue to the left and
through the next door.
Wrap around and enter the door in the middle. Now run forward to find Triss
sitting with Letho. Triss will come up and talk to you briefly which completes

Kaedwini army as he is being carted around. Now kill off the unit and save
Iorveth or run past and leave him there to be a prisoner/die.
After they are dead another cut scene will start to play with Triss wondering

normal and dark difficulties
Bullvore is now glitched in Chapter 3 sewers and will 95% of the
