Got petty amulet.

Step 1: Find and bring to Anezka: troll's tongue, eye of the head-eye, embryo of the endriaga and essence of death

This woman can be found either in her house or on a bench in front of the house. As you approach it, your medallion will begin to vibrate, indicating that you are close to the source of the magic. Talk with Anezka- a woman wants to buy amulet. If you start digging deeper, you will find out that the amulet still has magical energy, but is cursed. Anezka can break the curse, but she needs a few ingredients.

endryaga germ can be obtained from endriags, which are many in the forest. This won't be a problem.

Essence of death can be obtained by killing ghosts in the ruined hospital (M8, 10) on assignment In the clutches of madness.

troll tongue can be obtained in the task The troll problem two ways:

• I killed the troll.
• Winning a troll's head from Sendler.

Advice! If you won the Sendler in the challenge Dice Poker: Flotsam before taking on the task Troll problem, you won't be able to get the troll's head from him.

Eye of the head-eye(M8, 21) you will get further on the game in the quest Kingslayers during a meeting with Iorvet.

Advice! After meeting with Iorvet you can go straight to Summer or complete other quests first - if you choose the first option, you will not be able to complete this quest.

Step 2: Bring ritual ingredients to Anezka

When you have collected all the ingredients, return to Anezka(M7, 27) . Remember that you can still sell her the amulet. Tell her if you're ready to begin the ritual.

Step 3: Meet Anezka at night near the altar of Veiopathis

Meditate somewhere before 10 pm. About this time Anezka leave his home and go to the altar of Veiopathis(M8, 16). You can go with her, or look for the altar yourself.

Step 4: Protect Anezka from the spirits

After confirming your readiness, Anezka will begin the ritual. A very difficult battle awaits you, especially on high difficulties - you need to protect the young sorceress from spirits. Will appear immediately three, and when you kill one, it will appear Another one. Try not to stray too far Anezhki, but also do not come close, otherwise the ritual will be interrupted. Protect yourself Quenom. The best tactic is to jump with a quick attack. Forget about power. Stun the spirits Aard And Aksyem. When the ritual is completed, Anezka will give you restored amulet.

We decide what to do with Rupet and Gridley: let them go or put them on trial.

Achievement "Librarian" Find all information about the history of the hospital. 6 documents.

Quest: Heart of Melitele (The quest will only be available if we were able to get the amulet from the rubyle in the prologue). Aneshka, a herbalist, lives in the village of Bindyugi on the outskirts. We show her the amulet of Small, she will want to buy it. We decide: 1. We agree - we will receive money, the quest will be completed immediately. 2. We refuse - we ask why she needs an amulet, we use persuasion. The herbalist will tell you that this is the Heart of Melitele amulet that protects the wearer. But someone put a spell on the medallion, and now it brings misfortune. Aneshka will undertake to carry out the ritual of restoring the amulet. To do this, you need rare ingredients, you have to get them: Essence of death - from ghosts, in the clinic in the southwest; Troll tongue - you need to kill the troll under the bridge; The fruit of the endriag - we will get the endriag from the queen; Eyes of a crab spider - we will meet a monster in story quest"Killers of Kings" Having obtained all 4 ingredients, we return to Aneshka. We go at midnight to the altar of Veiopatis in the depths of the forest. Aneshka will start the ritual. We need not come close to the witch, but have time to drive away the arriving ghosts from her. We use the signs Yrden and Igni. After the completion of the ritual, we get a full-fledged amulet "Heart of Melitele"(+1 health regen).

Quest: Wild Hunt Quest: Return of memory These are through inactive quests. They go through all the chapters of the game. They don't need to be done specifically. They simply record plot information. After interrogating the elf Kiaran, we will see a vision of the past on the "Island of Apple Trees". The Wild Hunt has kidnapped someone close to us. Later we can discuss this vision with our friends. In the elven baths we can find the book "Wild Hunt", later we can discuss this with Buttercup. If we perform additional the task "In the Claws of Madness" and find the stories of patients, we can discuss the topic of the Wild Hunt with Roche.

The Witcher 2 Walkthrough

The commandant invited us to his place, we are going to a meeting. After 21:00 we approach the western gate, speak with the left guard, he will let us through, but leave all our weapons in the chest at the entrance. Vernon Roche will go with us.

Mission: Ballista In the courtyard of the commandant we will see a ballista aimed at the harbor. Roche will offer to neutralize it in advance in order to sail on the ship later without hindrance. At the left wall we speak with the girl Margarita. With the phrase "I want to surprise my friend," we suggest that she distract the sentry from the ballista. Either we pay her 50 orens, or we help her with a favor - you need to deprive Miron and Alphonse of money by defeating them in a battle on their hands. When Margarita takes the guard away, we quickly take part of the mechanism from the ballista. 100 experience.

Achievement "Shadow Man" We will not be allowed into the commandant's house until Loredo finishes talking with the sorceress Sheala. Roche suggests not to waste time and spy in the backyard. In addition, one of the merchants will come up to us and say that part of the trap for the Kayran monster is kept in the courtyard. Roche will distract the guard, quietly go along the path to the right of the house. We act silently, if the guards raise the alarm, we will be taken out, we will not be able to eavesdrop on the conversation, and we will not get achievements. We stun two guards from the back. The door is locked, climb over the rocks on the right. There are 4 more guards in the backyard. First, we move along the right wall, eliminate the guard in the bushes, and two around the corner. Lastly, we stun the guard under the window. We can climb a hill by the window and eavesdrop on the conversation between Loredo and Sheala. The sorceress offers some kind of deal, but Loredo stubbornly refuses. Then in the courtyard we go to the far door, from the white chest we take Trap Part "Iron Frame", Sword Blueprint, Astrogarus Armor. We climb the wall along the stairs, we return to Roche.

Finally, we will be let into the house, and Rocher will be left outside the door. In a conversation, we answer the question of what we are doing in the city. Then Loredo will offer us to deal with the detachment of Iorvet. We answer:

1. "I'll see what can be done" - we will answer the question later.

2. "Deal" - the guards in the grode will let us through.

3. "I will not work with you" - Loredo's people will not miss.

In any case, we will have to find the elf Iorvet, and then we will decide whether to kill him or not. Loredo will tell you that Zoltan can lead to the Scoia'tael. But first, we must do a favor for the city - destroy the kayran monster. Then the commandant will release Buttercup and Zoltan outside the city.

4. Keiran: a matter of price
What to do in The Witcher 2

We go to the harbor to talk with the merchants about the reward for the monster. We can take a deposit or double the price. The merchant will tell you that you can learn about the monster itself from the elf Cedric, in the village outside the city gates.

The quest will end when we kill the monster and return for a reward. The merchant will give both the money he bargained for and the Blueprint: Kayran's Carapace.

5. Keiran
The Witcher 2. How to kill a monster

Let's go collect information about the monster outside the city. Triss is waiting for us outside the eastern city gates. She advises against contacting the sorceress Sheala, but still goes along with us. In the village near the fortress, we will hear the conversation of the locals about the elf Cedric. We ask the woman, she will tell you that Cedric is on a wooden tower nearby, you can climb two stairs from the village there.

Cedric will tell only about the size of the monster and its poisonous mucus. He offers to look at the ship he destroyed, to the north of here. At the same time, we can buy almost all blueprints of bombs and traps from Cedric, including Trap on the kayran. We can also get the quest "In the Claws of Madness" from him.

We go to the northern hill, along the way we kill two groups of bandits. At the top we will meet the teleported Triss, together we go down to the ship. We fight off the drowners. In the ruins of the ship we will find things to start the quest "Mystical River". On the right, under the tree, we collect kayran mucus. Triss will analyze everything and give us a recipe for an elixir to protect against the monster's poison. The main ingredient is tenecost. Cooking the elixir is not necessary, but it is desirable to increase the chances of survival.

We return to the city. Let's find Sheala in the hotel, on the second floor of the tavern. We agree to attack the monster. We can immediately seduce the sorceress with the phrases: "Maybe we can get to know each other better?" "And how often do you hunt monsters?" - "No, what are you. I'll be happy to work with you" - "Are you traveling alone?" "You can check if you want." But the effect of seduction will be a little later.

We go to the crash site of the ship. Sheala will remain at the top of the destroyed bridge, while we go down. Before the last descent, we prepare a trap for the kayran, drink elixirs Mongoose and Swallow.

Boss: Keiran. The monster has 6 tentacles, it constantly attacks us with the nearest tentacle, hitting from top to bottom. The pair of central tentacles are invulnerable, while the side tentacles have red growths. We can cut one of the tentacles by setting a trap. To cut the rest, use the "Yrden" sign on the ground, when the tentacle hits this point, it will stop for a while, and we can safely cut it with a sword.

When we cut off any tentacle, Kayran will start randomly hitting the remaining ones, and slightly damage the bridge from above. At this point, it is better to use the protective sign "Quen" to avoid damage. We also cut off 2 more processes.

When we cut 3 tentacles, Keiran will try to knock us down with a trip. We cling to this tentacle, quickly press the buttons: RMB, many times LMB, space. As a result, the monster will collapse the rest of the bridge above itself, and crush it with debris. From the left edge, we climb onto the fallen column, reach the top, dodge the tentacles, and inflict the final blow.

Achievement "Poacher" Chop off a tentacle with a kayran trap. During a visit to the commandant Lornezo, you need to steal Ramu's part from his backyard. Then we go to Cedrek, we buy from him the Drawing of a trap for a kayran. We also order the manufacture of this trap from him. In battle, we use a trap on any tentacle of a monster.

Kayran Ridge Achievement Craft a Kayran Carapace Armor Set. Together with Sheala, we begin to extract ingredients from the killed monster. From two active points we can take Eyes, Cloth, Pelt and Kayran Trophy. The trophy gives +50 health, and from the rest we can sew armor. We return to the city, we take payment from the merchant. We also get from him Blueprint: Kayran Carapace, to create an armor. We go to the blacksmith, prepare the armor.

Additional quests after Kayran:

Quest: Mystic River Inspecting the destroyed ship in the keiran's lair in the north of the location, we will find the captain's key on the human skeleton, we open the chest with it. Inside are documents: Captain's Report, Captain's Diary. We learn from them that the sorcerer Osven was sailing on the ship, after finding the artifacts, he staged a riot, but as a result he drowned and because of his spell a kayran appeared. These are the remains of the ship "Petra Zille", the second ship of the "Daedrin" was also on the expedition. The captain still hasn't sent his report, so we can wrap up his case. We return to the city, we go to the manager Ludwig Merc, he lives in the south of the city square. We go up to his office on the second floor, there is a mailbox for letters, we send a report. Using the Aksy sign in the conversation, we can open the mailbox and read another letter.

Quest: Hangover (The quest is available only after the destruction of the kayran and ballista, but will become unavailable after the start of a showdown with the witcher Leto). In the absence of the monster, Roche's ship will enter the city harbor and anchor there. The Blue Stripes squad will be located inside the building to the left of the tavern, we can visit them. Inside the headquarters we will see that the soldiers have a party, we can participate in it: Bianca offers to compete in throwing knives. If we agree, we will need to quickly aim at the map on the wall, and press R. The peasants will enter the headquarters and will be indignant that the soldiers have desecrated their statue of Veiopathis. Roche decides to teach them a lesson, stop him. Wake up the next morning, on the river bank and without things. We can pay 20 orens to the person who came up to tell us what happened. He will direct us to the owner of the brothel. Let's find the girl Garvena either in the room above the tavern, or in the basement in the right room of the brothel. We pay her another 32 orens, and she will tell about our drunken adventures. We return to Rocher's headquarters, we speak with Bianca, she will tell her part of the memories. We got the same tattoo on the neck as all the Blue Stripes fighters have. In the right room in the chest we will find all our lost things. Reward: 50 experience.

6. Rose of memory
The Witcher 2: Romance with Triss

After killing the kayran, we go to the city, in front of the Loredo mansion we will meet Triss. She will tell you that in the prison barge in the harbor, the commandant is holding captive elves, among them is Iorvert's assistant - Kiaran. Let's go interrogate him.

The entrance to the barque is guarded by two guards. If we agreed to Loredo's proposal, they will let us through without question. If they refuse, they will have to be persuaded, intimidated or bribed.

Kiaran is dying after being tortured. Triss will heal him with a spell, we help her with this by using the Aksy sign. During interrogation, we learn that the mysterious witcher's name is Leto, and he has already managed to betray and escape from Iorvet. In a conversation, the elf will mention the paradise "The skeleton of apple trees", and Geralt will remember part of his past associated with this place. After his death, he ended up on this island with Yennefer, but the Wild Hunt kidnapped his girlfriend, and he chased after them.

After being interrogated on the barge, Triss will offer to find the memory roses and make a potion out of them to fully restore our memories. They grow on the southern elven ruins. Choosing how to get there:

1. "I can handle it myself" - we go alone. On the southern hill we find a statue, in front of it we tear off a rose. We return to the city.

2. "I would be pleased" - we go along with Triss. We reach the waterfall, turn left from it. On a hill we will see a statue of lovers, we pick a rose in front of it. We will be attacked by bandits who want to steal the statue, we fight them off. During the battle, we will fall underground into the elven bath.

Previously, by taking a flower on the surface, choose the answer "This is for you." And falling down, we say, "It would not hurt you to swim." Triss will undress and jump into the water, we dive after her. Watching the love scene.

Having dressed, we either break through the wall with the Aard sign, or wait for Vernon Rocher to break the wall. Together we return to the city.

7. Kingslayers
The Witcher 2. How to defeat Summer

We find Zoltan in the tavern, now he can leave the city, so we ask him to take us to a meeting with the Scoia'tael detachment. We will meet elves in the forest, they will send us to another meeting place - to a separate western grove. Zoltan will warn that this is a trap, a dangerous monster lives there.

Boss: Eyeball. This is a huge spider with a shell on its back. Only his front paws are dangerous, so you can constantly roll behind him and attack from there. It is safest to attack him from afar, setting traps, throwing grenades, using the Igni sign. The unkillable Zoltan is participating in the battle with us, we can set the monster on him, and attack from behind ourselves.

After defeating the monster, Iorvet's detachment will surround us. We immediately tell him about Summer's betrayal, so as not to die from the arrows of the elves. Iorveth does not believe us completely yet, but offers to go talk to Leto and play a scene in front of him - we will bring the bound Iorveth to Leto as a trophy, and look at his reaction.

After talking with the elf, we select the phrase "I need to finish something" in order to stay in the clearing and collect things. We take the ingredients and the mutagen from the head eye, take several traps from the ground, we will find a skeleton near the stone in the center, which has a more powerful silver Sword from Kaer Morhen. From the clearing there is a descent to Iorvet's lair, there we will find a powerful steel sword - Strong Cord. You can get out of the clearing only along the eastern cliff.

We go to the southeastern hill with a statue of lovers, this is where Summer often happens. He really decided to get rid of Iorveth. In a conversation, we learn about his allies in Upper Aedirn. A detachment of elves will surround Summer, but suddenly Vernon Roche's fighters will arrive here, and a large-scale battle will begin. Iorvet asks for his sword. We answer (this is the most important choice in the game, which determines who will become our ally):

1. [Give Iorveth the sword]- Armed Iorveth will be able to fight off Roche's people, and hide from the battlefield. In the future, this will lead to pogroms of soldiers in Flotsam, non-humans will be openly oppressed.

2. [Help Roche]- stun the unarmed Iorvet, after the end of the battle he will be captured by Roche. In Flotsam they will organize a holiday in this honor. Going to the side of the elves after that will no longer work.

Boss: Summer from Gulet. In any case, after that Summer will jump on us. Together with him we will fall into the elven bath, then he will throw us into the next room.

Summer is a stronger witcher, he will use our own methods against us: witcher signs and various bombs. The easiest option to defeat him is to throw bombs, for this you need at least 40 of them. Otherwise, there will be a very difficult battle and dozens of unsuccessful attempts.

We can inflict "Poison of the Hanged Man" on the sword, this will slightly increase the damage. It is better to attack Summer only with quick actions. We constantly move in rolls so that he does not hit us with Aard, Igni or bombs. We stun him with the Aard sign, and we can deliver a couple of strong blows. Quen's defensive sign is almost useless, Leto immediately knocks him out with Aard. Magic trap - the Yrden sign helps to catch the enemy well, but it takes a long time to set, it is better not to use it.

Everything is complicated by the fact that Summer often uses magical protection - the Quen sign. When he is under protection, do not hit him with a sword, and do not throw anything. It's easier to wait for the defense to run out of time than to break through it. Traps can be placed throughout the room, they cause damage directly, through a protective field.

To complete the battle, we only need to take away half of Leto's health. After that, he will knock us down and knock out the sword, but he will leave us life, for the fact that we once saved him earlier. Summer will tell us his next steps: with the help of Triss, he is going to teleport to Aedirn.

A little later, our ally Iorvet / Roche will enter the hall. We tell him that we missed the killer, and together we run to save Triss. Before leaving, do not forget to raise your dropped steel sword.

8. Race against time
The Witcher 2 Walkthrough

1. If they helped Roche, then in Flotsam we will see that Loredo arranged a holiday in our honor. There will be tables on the square, all buildings are decorated with lanterns and flags. In the tavern we meet Buttercup, he plays another song about us, and offers to drink for the victory.

2. If Iorvet was helped, then in Flotsam we will see pogroms, the soldiers began to openly oppress and kill the city non-humans. We meet Buttercup in the tavern, he protects two elves from angry men. Either we convince people, or we bewitch them with Aksy, or we enter into a fight.

In any of the options, we ask Buttercup about Triss. We learn that she went to Sheala - on the second floor outside the tavern. In Sheala's room we will see blood and traces of a pogrom, we read the notes, we examine the body of the guard. In the right wall we will find a hole in the next room, we go there.

1. If you helped Roche, in the right room we interrogate the girl, she will tell part of the dialogue between Triss and the sorcerer Detmold, with whom Sheala contacted through a megascope. Triss came in with Cedric, and then there were sounds of a struggle, and only a wounded Cedric came out. These events have already been spied on by the owner of the brothel - Garvena, but now she has gone down to her place.

2. If Iorveth was helped, in the right room there will be a live Garvena and an elf killed during the pogroms. Garvena will tell that Triss communicated via megascope with the sorceress Philippa. And Cedric, after the sounds of a struggle, fled into the forest.

The runaway Cedric left behind bloodstains, we follow his trail into the forest. To better see the blood among the grass, we can use the "Cat" elixir. On the way there will be an ambush of Skoya "taels and a couple of freshly killed people, which will confuse the tracks a little. From the first found body we go south, from the second - to the east. As a result, we will go to a clearing in front of the waterfall.

Find the dying Cedric. From him we learn more about the events that took place. Triss asked him to break into Sheala, but she was no longer there, only a guard. And later Leto attacked them, and forced Triss to teleport him to the state of Aedirn, to the dwarf village of Vergen. Cedric will die, uttering an elven prophecy about us.

Zoltan and Buttercup will find us in the forest near Cedric's body. They will talk about the plans of Roche and the Scoia "taels: Roche is preparing to storm the Loredo estate, and the elves plan to capture the prison barge and free the captives. We can only help one group. The ending and the content of the subsequent chapters of the game will depend on this choice.

Rocher developed a plan to storm the Loredo estate: Bianca will get inside under the guise of a courtesan, open a window for us, we will climb through and eliminate the leader. The main forces will enter the battle later.

At night we go to the south-west of the city, in the alley we climb the stairs, we climb into the courtyard of the estate. We will see a girl running away from the Kaedweni ambassador, we stun the pursuer from behind. There are many guards in the courtyard ahead, but only one patrols the right side. We wait for the guard to go to the left, we ourselves sneak along the right wall, climb the stairs behind the wall.

We will meet the girl, she will tell that Loredo immediately recognized Bianca as a spy, and locked her in his room. Through the window we climb into the building. One guard walks in the lower corridor, we stun him. In the left room we will find Loredo's mother, who is preparing fissteh.

From the room we go up the stairs to the upper floor, along the way we do not catch the eye of the guards. The door will be locked. The key lies on the floor below, you need to go through the bedroom, but on the way we will touch the table with bottles, and all the enemies will wake up. We kill them all, in the far room from the chest we take the key to the tower.

Boss: Loredo. We rise, we will see the bound Bianca. Loredo with a halberd will jump out at us, we dodge and start the battle. The enemy has heavy weapons, so we attack with quick attacks, and he does not even have time to hit back.

Free Bianca. In the next room we find a pregnant elf Moril. This is the same girl, because of the loss of which the elves rebelled and began to take revenge, and all this was arranged by Loredo. Bianca stays to take delivery.

On the way back, kill all the enemies. We took his key from Loredo's body, and now we can open the mailbox on the first floor, we read the found letter, in which Loredo addressed King Detmold. Returning to the courtyard, we help the Blue Stripes to finish off the last guards.

We learn from Roche that Iorvet ran away from him. We participate in the memory of the escape as Roche. Elf Moril will give birth and commit suicide.

The Witcher 2 Walkthrough

In Iorvet's camp, we are preparing for the night capture of the prison barge. The best scout will go with us and a few elves for cover. Standard plan: enter the city along the river. If Iorveth was not captured, then we can offer him another plan: to infiltrate Flotsam with the help of deception.

1. "Let's do as you said" - Standard plan. Entering the city, we will see how the ship of Vernon Roche sails. On the way we will meet a patrol, get involved in battles, an alarm will be raised. In the harbor, a lot of soldiers will already be waiting for us, we make our way through them to the barge.

2. "Let's better go to the trick" - Our plan. We enter the city together, Iorveth pretends to be our prisoner. The guards at the gate will ask permission to beat the elf, it is not necessary to agree, they will still let you through. We get to the barge, we take the soldiers by surprise. At our signal, a squad of squirrels will launch an attack from the forest.

Despite the fact that Geralt, during the siege and capture of the castle of La Valette, acted as Foltest's personal bodyguard, he is accused of killing the latter and hidden in the dungeon of the aforementioned castle. Geralt is brought before Vernon Roche for interrogation.

He himself was in the thick of these events, but at some point, he was isolated from the king and Geralt. Rocher, still the commander of the blue stripes, a sort of special forces in the Temerian army. Vernon Roche is interested in the events that took place from the point of view of the witcher. (Answer options will appear.) In order not to get confused in the chronology of the game, it is better to answer them in order.

The developers of the game assured us about the transfer of data from the first part of the game, and yet... Although in the first part of the game, there may be two options for parting with Triss Merigold, here we wake up in her arms. The intimate atmosphere is interrupted by the messenger of King Foltest. Geralt urgently needs to come to the position where the king is waiting for him. While Geralt is getting dressed, in a conversation with Triss, he clarifies a couple of pressing issues. So he learns that the killer who attacked King Foltest a month earlier is also a witcher. Later, in a conversation with Foltest, when asked about what the witcher found out about this, it is not necessary to hide it. If you admit that it was a witcher, then earn even more trust from Foltest. Then follows the military camp to the king.

Following the camp, Geralt meets people who remember him, while Geralt himself does not remember anything about what they are trying to talk to him about. These are the consequences of meeting with " wild hunt". But we know about this from the first part of the game. In a group of people (these are rubails, but Geralt does not remember them) who are preparing to take part in the assault on the fortress, there is one individual who, contrary to common sense, does not want to wear armor. His name is Small. He asks Geralt to make sure his decision is correct, referring to the power of the magic amulet he has, Geralt needs to look at it.

• You can indicate that the amulet is cursed, then Small will give the amulet to Geralt, and he will put on the armor. Later, he will thank Geralt for being alive.
• It can be pointed out that the amulet is indeed magical, but it is not known what kind of magic. The small one will put on armor, but will not give up the amulet. Later, he will thank Geralt and give him a present.
• You can just let Small go as he wants, i.e. without armor. Later pick up the amulet from his corpse. The quest with this amulet will continue in the next chapter.

We find the king next to the ballistae. The king introduces the Witcher to Shilard Fitz-Esterlen, the Nilfgaardian ambassador. After talking with Foltest, Geralt learns that they are going into battle. Foltest and Geralt enter the siege machine and the movement towards the castle walls begins. Foltest explains to Geralt that he must take away his young children, who, at the instigation of his enemies, are hidden from him by his mistress and mistress of this castle, Marie-Louise La Valette.

Temerian soldiers, led by their king, begin the battle with the defenders of the castle. Encountering little resistance, the troops advance, but there is a barricade in front of them. The barricade can be taken down with the ballista in the courtyard. Geralt must go down and use the ballista.

Down there, in addition to the ballista, there will be about a dozen defenders of the castle, and nothing complicated. We deal with the defenders of the castle and prepare the ballista. New wave of defenders. We aim the ballista. Another wave of defenders. Now we're tearing down the barricade. Then we join Foltest and the rest of the attackers.

There is another obstacle ahead, the gate, which is protected by a dozen crossbowmen, led by their leader Ariane La Valette, who have taken refuge on the tower, they have a good position from above and it is not so easy to approach them. To all Foltest's offers to surrender, Arian answers in the negative. The Witcher will have to deal with this.

Under the cover of Foltest's archers, Geralt sneaks up under the walls of the tower and climbs to the top. When we are at the top, we have three options for resolving the problem:

• The first is to kill everyone and everyone. For the Witcher, a dozen soldiers are not a problem.
• The second is to challenge Aryan to a duel and kill him.
• Third - (In my opinion, the most preferable.) Convince to surrender. Many will survive, including Aryan himself.

Any decision will have certain consequences in the future. Especially if you transfer the save to the third part of the game.

King Foltest, Geralt, Tris and Vernon Rocher approach the castle of La Valette, suddenly a dragon appears. And he starts to attack. As planned by the developers, he is invulnerable (for now), so we cannot fight him, but only run away. We run to the gates of the castle hiding under some plank structures. But under them we meet the defenders of the castle, we also have to get rid of them. The first lattice gate, Tris blows up. They follow on.

After another dragon attack, the walls and ceiling of the tower through which they pass begin to collapse. Tris creates a protective dome, but she herself cannot follow with the others. Approaching the gates of the monastery, they encounter another obstacle: another huge wooden gate, which is very problematic to cut through. The king instructs Geralt to find a workaround and open the gate.

Geralt goes down to the residential quarters. In search of a passage to the monastery, Geralt helps Foltest's soldiers get rid of the knights of La Valette. To do this, you do not need to immediately go in search of a passage, just wander around the block. All houses are open, you can enter and explore them. During this research, Geralt can prevent the outrages of marauding soldiers. Subsequently, if Geralt saved the locals from murder, he can meet them in Flotsam, where he will be after escaping from prison. The rescued will thank the witcher.

It is simply impossible not to notice the passage where you need to go, it will be highlighted on the compass. There, having found a well, we go down to the bottom and find ourselves in dilapidated casemates, where utopians are in charge. We follow the corridors through the gates that can be opened. It's very hard to get lost. Having got out on the surface, we find ourselves not far from the monastery cemetery. On the bank of the river we see skoya "taels and a boat. They are inaccessible to us.

We follow the monastery. On the way we will meet a couple of three defenders. We will once again meet resistance in the inner rooms and the courtyard. At one of the defenders of the courtyard we find the key, from the room with a winch that raises the gate. We take the key and raise the gate. The king and his men enter the monastery.

Having found out the necessary information from the inhabitants of the monastery, the trinity (King Foltest, Geralt and Vernon Roche) goes on. Foltest wants to take his children, who are hidden in the tower. King Foltest, Geralt and Vernon Rocher are walking across the bridge when the dragon attacks them. A fire attack scattered their group. Geralt and the king run away from the dragon together. They reach the goal and take cover behind the walls of the tower. Geralt rushes at the dragon, who is trying to stick his head through the gate of the tower. He plunges his sword into the mouth of the dragon and parted with him. The monster flies away with him, trying to pick out the sword from its mouth.

Foltest finally meets his children. A blind priest standing nearby pushes the children into the arms of their father. Foltest asks Geralt to leave him with the children and let him talk to them. Geralt goes to the window and looks at the scenery. The king asks the eldest of the children, Anais, to help wash his tearful younger brother Busi.

It remains one on one with the priest. And the "blind priest", who is not a priest at all and not even blind at all, inflicts a mortal blow on the king. Geralt simply did not have time to help. The killer jumped out the window, there, at the bottom, on the waves, those very Skoya "taels in the boat were waiting for him.

It is clear that the guardsmen of the king who burst into the noise, seeing how the witcher with a drawn blade stands over the dead king, considered him the murderer. So Geralt gets into the dungeon of the castle of La Valette, where the prison is located. Vernon Roche, devoted to the king to the marrow of his bones, believes the witcher. He takes out a file on the witcher five years ago from the safe, which says that the witcher was killed during the massacre in the city of Rivia, while the sorceress Yennefer, who tried to save the witcher, also dies. Then, under strange circumstances, they are both taken in by an ash-haired girl. Some of the memories return to Geralt. Further, we answer Roche's questions that we will look for and pursue the killer if we manage to avoid the gallows. (You don’t even have to try other options, they are followed by a game restart.) Roche cannot simply let the witcher go. He leaves Geralt the key to the shackles and hints that at dawn, he and his ship will sail on business.

Geralt is returned to the cell. Here we free ourselves from the shackles and start our way to the exit, while blowing the brains out of the jailers. Do not forget to inspect their pockets, there may be keys to the next doors.

If you acted prudently and left Ariana La Valette alive, then we will meet him either in one of the corridors or in the torture chamber, depending on how you go, on top or bottom. Aryan is beaten and very weak, he will ask you to help him get to the oil storage. There he will open a secret passage and we can go free. At the same time, he himself will remain in the dungeons and start a fire.

The second option for getting free is if for some reason you still killed Aryan. Were you faint-hearted or your pride has seized you, as some jerk objects to the witcher ... Now, on the way to the exit, we will meet Aryan's mother, Marie-Louise La Valette. We meet her alone and free her and then we meet the Nilfgaardian ambassador Shilard, or we immediately meet in the company of the Nilfgaardian ambassador Shilard, it depends on how you go, on top or bottom. In both cases, Louise convinces Shilard to help the witcher.

We leave the dungeon, meet Small (the one who had the amulet) or stumble upon his corpse, depending on what you advised him. If he still survived, we ask him to distract the guard and follow the ship. Triss Merigold and Vernon Rocher are already waiting for us there. Having compared all the known facts, we go to Flotsam. (A new chapter begins.)

P.S. If we turn to the book, we will see a discrepancy from the very beginning. King Foltest, half a year before his death, dispersed all the sorcerers, so the very presence of Triss Merigold is already a strange phenomenon. Book Geralt at that time was also far from Foltest, healing his wounds.
