The Witcher 2 side quests. A detailed walkthrough of the main and side quests of the first chapter. Poker game: Flotsam
In the task "The trouble with the troll" in The Witcher 2, the walkthrough will provide an opportunity to get acquainted with a great story. This mission is additional in nature, but it has certain points for which you should prepare. All information on the quest with options for action is present in the article. Fans of the game will find this material very useful.
Where do the roots come from
On the bulletin board locality called Flotsam main character can take the task "Troll Trouble". In The Witcher 2, the passage begins from this moment. Already at the start, the user can prepare that this will not be an ordinary murder, because in this project this almost never happens. Geralt starts his own investigation. The mission was posted by commandant Bernard Loredo, who is famous for his cruelty and is trying with all his might to achieve compliance with the laws among the population. This information should be remembered by the players for future decision making.
First ambiguities
It would seem that in the task "The Trouble with the Troll" the passage in The Witcher 2 is extremely clear. The player must deal with the creature of the same name, which lives in the vicinity of Flotsam. In the third part of this great game series, hunting for various monsters is even dedicated to separate missions. Quests in The Witcher 2, however, are not divided into categories, but they are no less interesting. The first wake-up call for the assignment will sound at the moment when the player saves the peasant on the way to the mission near the bridge. It was besieged by the nakers, but the fight would not last long. When talking with a man, Geralt will ask where to find a troll to kill, but the villager will quickly object to the White Wolf. He will say that it is not necessary to kill him, and even more so to believe Loredo. The character will also tell about the troll's deep drinking bout, from which he needs to be pulled out. This is the first hint of the future variable branching that the game is so famous for.
Further development
The beginning of the passage of "Trouble with the Troll" in The Witcher 2 already gives a hint that its essence will not be reduced to a standard murder. However, Geralt, after talking with the peasant, has no other choice but to go to the headman of Bindyuga for details. This village is located just outside the walls of Flotsam and is known for the fact that Dimitra's bandits work nearby. The White Wolf goes to Kharab - the local headman, who almost completely repeats the request of the peasant on the bridge. This man also asks the protagonist not to kill the troll, but to help the unfortunate one somehow get rid of alcohol addiction. After the conversation, the path lies directly into the thicket to the troll. At the first meeting, Geralt will try to talk to him, but the creature is not too inclined to talk. In a rude way, the troll will refuse to make contact and demand vodka to continue his banquet. The White Wolf is not going to tolerate such an attitude, and therefore the duel begins.
Main choice by task
In the game "The Witcher 2" in chapter 1, the mission "The trouble with the troll" is one of the most interesting in terms of implementation. The developers performed it in a corporate style, you can see it immediately after the duel with the troll. The drunken poor fellow is not very mobile, and therefore the fight with him, if he has the ability to dodge correctly, will drag on for two or three minutes. When the enemy's health drops to a critical level, a cut-scene will turn on. The moment Geralt is ready to strike the final blow, former enemy turns to him with a strange request for help. This is where the hero decides what to do with the creature. One can recall the headman Bindyuga Kharaba, as well as the peasant from the bridge. They all asked for help for the poor troll. To continue the task, the creature must be listened to. The second option provides for a typical murder without investigating real motives. In this case, the player will not recognize the continuation interesting history, and in vain, because quests in The Witcher 2 often offer this. True, in this scenario, the player will be able to quickly return for a very decent reward to Ludwig Merce. This is one of Flotsam's officials and cousin of Bernard Loreno.
Continued investigation
But in order to enjoy this quest, players are advised not to kill the troll. The user can agree to listen to his story. It turns out that this creature is quite respectable, but the loss of his beloved woman greatly affected him. Someone killed a troll, and the husband asks to find this person, and then avenge the harm done. If the player agrees, then the further path lies again to the village of Bindyuga. Here you need to talk with the headman Horab and some residents. They do not know anything, but Zoltan and Sheala will be able to help in the matter. During the dialogues, Geralt learns about the Burnt One when completing the quest "The Trouble with the Troll" in The Witcher 2. Where to find the house of this man will also become clear after several conversations during the investigation. If you go to visit him, you can see the head of that same lost lover on the wall. If you start asking about it in more detail, then the owner will begin to deny involvement in the murder.
Continued adventure
The task in the game "The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings" "The trouble with the troll" is an example of how the protagonist will have to seek the truth step by step. In the house of the Burnt, the owner will in every possible way deny his involvement in the murder of this creature. He will tell you that he actually bought the trophy to decorate the room from the leader of the local gang of bandits Dimitar. There is no need to rush and rush in search of the killer. Burnt is a master of playing cards, and therefore he can be invited to play a game. For the victory, the White Wolf will receive the very head of the troll. It may not be possible to win the first time, but several approaches and studying the opponent’s strategy will correct the situation. The head is needed in order to give it to the troll and get a valuable drawing of the “Armor of the Hunter”, which will be useful to Geralt in due time. The task is also valuable because the player will be able to travel to locations and enjoy the views. And if you also install mods for improving visualization for the game The Witcher 2, then the user will get double pleasure.
Tracking down the killer
In The Witcher 2, tasks, at first glance, take a long time, but in practice the player completes them in ten minutes, if not distracted by local beauties or conversations with other characters. After the card fight, Geralt can ask the Burnt One about where Dimitar is. The man will say that he does not know anything about the location of the base of the bandits. But still, he will give a tip to the tavern in Bindyug, where the leader's subordinates often like to sit. There the White Wolf will go, because there are no other clues. Upon arrival, you should immediately go to the lower floor, where one of Dimitar's henchmen will sit. During a dialogue with him, the criminal will cheekily refuse to tell anything about his commander. Here you can apply intimidation from the White Wolf or engage in a fist fight with him. The mechanics of such battles is implemented too simply by the developers, and therefore no difficulties should arise during the fight.
Completion of the task
After a long duel, the player will receive the necessary information. It turns out that Dimitar set up his base in an old cemetery, which is located near the village of Bindyuga. Before going there, all users are highly recommended to prepare for the battle. To begin with, stock up on potions to increase damage, as well as to restore health (Thunder, Swallow). Only after that go to the indicated point for a fight. Dimitar is not alone in the cemetery, there are several of his subordinate bandits with him. If you skillfully use the signs of Yrden, Igni, as well as potions, then the battle should end quickly. Of course, this also depends on the difficulty level set. After the victory, Geralt must go to the troll, give the head and get the drawing of the Hunter's Armor. The troll will be able to return to work with peace of mind, but the headman Harab will not want to give money for saving the creature. You will have to use Aksy or intimidation to get a well-deserved reward.
In addition to being able to install mods for The Witcher 2, there is more to do game process interesting, you can use this trick. The player may not take the head from the Burnt, but choose another reward. After that, go to the tavern, and then - to Dimitar in the cemetery. After the victory, report to the troll that the killer is punished, pick up the drawing and go to the headman for a reward. In the event of such a course of events, it is possible to return to the creature that lost his beloved wife. The whole point is that, in general, it is desirable to kill the troll in order to obtain its language. This ingredient is used in the quest The Heart of Melitele. But if this is done immediately, as already mentioned, then there will not be all the described adventures, and even a drawing as a reward. Therefore, if you do not pull off such a trick, then you will not be able to complete the second mission. All players should pay attention to this.
"The Witcher 2" is the second part of the legendary trilogy of role-playing computer games based on the fantasy book series of the same name by the Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. This role-playing game is considered one of the best in its genre, as it allows you to immerse yourself in a huge and wonderful world full of various tasks and quests, NPCs and monsters, leveling options, types of armor, weapons and magic. However, attention should now be paid to one specific side quest, which most players can not cope with, but at the same time it does not greatly affect how the passage develops in The Witcher 2 game. "Mystic River" is the name of this mission.
epic quest
When most gamers finish the Witcher 2 walkthrough, the Mystic River does not appear among the completed quests. And this raises many questions: how did this happen? After all, all the necessary tasks were completed. In fact, this is quite a common situation, and it is due to the fact that this quest is epic, that is, it lasts for three whole chapters. It starts in the very first chapter, but you won't be able to finish it until you're already in the third chapter of the story. Only then will you be able to complete the necessary steps to complete the walkthrough for this quest in The Witcher 2 game. "Mystic River" is a task on which you will have to work a lot. But what do you have to do to be successful?
Chapter 1
So, if you wish, you can study the passage for the game "The Witcher 2". "Mystic River" is non-plot quest so it won't show up there. Accordingly, you will need a separate guide explaining all the features and details of obtaining and completing this task. First of all, you need to complete the Kayran quest - when you find yourself in the Kayran's lair, you will see an abandoned destroyed ship. Inside, you can find a human skeleton from which you can pick up the Zille Meter Key. There will also be a chest nearby, to which this key fits - but do not rush to throw it away or sell it after use, as it will be useful to you in subsequent chapters. So, open the chest and get out the logbook and the captain's report. The report was not sent before Zille's death, so you will need to finish his work. Go to Flotsam, where there is a mailbox, and drop the report there. But the task does not end there - you will need to collect two more reports. You will find the first one in Ludwig Merce's chest - he can be persuaded to open it with a special rune. Well, the second one is already more difficult, because you will get it only after killing Bernard Loredo at the end of the first chapter. You can take the side of Rocher, and then the death of Loredo will be inevitable. If you decide to take the position of Iorveth, then, having got on the ship to Loredo, you will receive an ultimatum - either you fight Loredo, or save the elves. Accordingly, if you choose the second option, you will not be able to kill Loredo and complete the Mystic River quest. The Witcher 2, the passage of which constantly offers you difficult choices, more than once during the game will make you seriously think about the consequences of your actions.
Chapter 2
Once again it is worth recalling that the game to which the Mystic River quest belongs is The Witcher 2. The passage of the first and third parts do not contain such a quest. So, when you get to the second chapter, in this quest you don't have much to do. Even at the end of the first chapter, you will be told that you need to find the second crashed ship, in which there will be a missing report. However, during the first chapter you will not be able to get to the desired location - this will become possible only now. Head to the location marked on the map and collect the last report, as well as some very important materials for the further passage of the task. Well, the quest game "The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings" "Mystic River" is coming to an end - its passage smoothly passes into the third chapter.
Chapter 3
In the game "The Witcher 2" the quest "Mystic River", the passage of which was described above, ends very simply. You will need to go to the Locke Muinne dungeon, where you have to find the forbidden chest. For the third time, use the key that you found at the very beginning of the quest to open it and get special armor, forging tools, blueprints, and some other useful things from there. Now go to the town square and look for the blacksmith Bras in the tavern, who will need to transfer everything that you have found. That's it, the quest is over.
Reward
What will you get when you complete the Mystic River quest? When you give Bras all your finds, he goes to the forge and uses blueprints, materials and tools to create for you Vran armor, which is almost the most powerful in the game. As you can see, you really had to work hard to get such a valuable reward.
Looking into the location of the Blue Stripes, Geralt sees that a small party is being planned, about the damage to the statue of Veiopathis. Bianca will offer a knife throwing competition, (ham, map and paddle on the wall) with one of the soldiers, Fenn, and then with the Thirteenth, you can compete on your hands.
The fun will be interrupted by the locals, who did not like the attitude of the striped to their deity. Roche won't like this and will get mad. We'll have to calm him down. Well, that is, give him a punch in the face, so as not to show off much. The booze will continue and in the end ... we will come to our senses, or rather they will wake us up, lying on the river bank, in our underpants.
The one who wakes up for a certain amount will advise you to contact Garvena. But probably you can immediately go to Bianca, because Garvena will send us to her, but after we fork out. Bianca will tell you in detail how we (Geralt and five Blue Stripes) tried for four hours to cross the river, riding on whores. Then Geralt expressed a desire to become one of them and they made him a tattoo on his neck. (Such a clumsy drawing.)
All Geralt's things that he scattered everywhere, Bianca collected and put them in a chest by the window. We thank Bianca and go for things. By the way, you can immediately get rid of the tattoo, you just have to ask Triss about it.
Chapter 2
To start this quest, you need to be at the arena closer to noon. There are fights at this time. Fights are held according to certain rules, the fight is not to the death, but to the surrender of the enemy. We rise above the arena not far from the gate, there we will find Proxima, the organizer of the competition. Let's tell him that we would like to participate in fights. You will have to fight in turn, with three kaedwen knights. After the third victory, we will see a cutscene, as King Henselt scolds his warriors for not being able to defeat the witcher.
Then Bianca enters the scene and offers to fight the witcher. Henselt promises to double the reward if she succeeds. Let's slap Bianca on the pope and take the reward. I do not advise you to lose, Bianca will be very offended. And when we win, she will thank you for taking her seriously. While the impressions of the battle in the arena are still alive, we go to the camp of the Blue Stripes. We find Bianca and start a conversation about a wonderful duel. Then, in a conversation, say that you also want to use frankness. To her question, what he sees in her, we answer: - Brave and beautiful.
Bianchi has a jug of wine, from Toussaint itself. She offers to drink it. We certainly agree. And then, Bianca herself will propose the continuation of the banquet, and you, or agree ... Or can you refuse ?! Well, I don't know, I don't know...
If you didn't import your saves from the first part, you may have problems with this. As you remember, we fled to Flotsam from prison, and on the way we could only grab some rusty steel sword. Therefore, you should think about buying good weapons. In this situation, there are a couple of ways to get a silver sword:
Perhaps when you got off Roche's ship, you already cheated nearby chests, then you already have a blueprint for such a sword. If not, then you have to leave. The only thing left is to collect the necessary rubbish and forge the blade. You can simply buy a silver-plated sword from Berthold Canderelia, this is the blacksmith's assistant, he will also take an order to make a sword according to your drawing. I repeat, this is only if there were no saves from the previous part.
Keiran: Tenecost
And so we figured out the utopians, let's proceed to inspect the area. Actually in this viper and it is impossible to find anything worthwhile. Triss immediately applied a magical scan of the area and came to the conclusion that the monster was sick and would die soon, but at the same time it was very poisonous. And therefore, Geralt must brew himself an elixir "Mongoose", which will be an antidote. Triss gives Geralt the recipe. Among other ingredients, there is a rather rare, tenecost moss. Triss advises to seek help from Cedric.
Mystic River
Let's examine the wreckage of the ship located here, what can we find there besides the skeleton. We examine both the skeleton and the ship. At the skeleton we find the key, and on the ship there is a chest, quite the expected result. Open the chest with the found key. In the chest we find a diary, which along the way should be sent by mail. The Royal Mailbox is in Flotsam, on the desk of Ludwig Moers. This is the type that first came to us with a proposal to get rid of the monster. launched Quest "Mystic River" will continue in the second chapter.
Geralt goes to Cedric, he probably knows where can i get tenecost. Cedric told me where you can get this ingredient. We go to the waterfall, located in the southern part of the forest, there is a cave teeming with nakers behind the waterfall. Although, we can meet a whole flock on the way, they will have supper with taels. Tenecost is guarded by a foulbrood, probably also wanted to eat it ...
vile suggestion
In the meantime, it got dark, it's time to pay a visit to Loredo. Listen to the local authority. We go to Loredo's residence, Roche joins Geralt, he also has a couple of questions. We are not allowed to enter the gate with weapons, there is nothing to do, we leave in a chest at the gate. Entering the yard, Roche assesses the ballista located here with a professional look. Geralt, too, already knows something about this weapon. Roche proposes to disable the ballista so that in the future it does not influence the adoption of certain decisions.
Geralt agrees with the arguments and begins to act. We approach Margarita, a local prostitute, who is bored nearby, and ask her to please her "friend" who has been at the ballista's post for so long. Margarita demands to be paid as for overtime. Or do her a favor by humiliating two thugs in the eyes of those around her, for which she agrees not only to satisfy our "friend", but in addition to give us a cool blowjob.
The thugs are Myron and Alphonse. (I can’t confirm her last sentence, because I forgot about her later, but to replay ... no, sorry!) In order for the thugs to be humiliated, you need to defeat them in arm wrestling. After that, Margarita will lead the guard into the nearest bushes, and Geralt can disable the ballista by stealing one piece.
Now, together with Roche, we rise to Loredo. We are not allowed. The host is busy, deign to talk with the mages from Kovir, Tobish Sheala de Tanserville. Roche offers to make a knight's move and eavesdrop. He distracts one of the guards, thereby allowing Geralt to get into the backyard.
We have no time limit, so we act slowly. We cut down (stun) everyone in the backyard so as not to interfere, we sneak up to the window and eavesdrop. From what we heard, we will not understand anything, and in the future Sheala herself will not want to let us into her affairs.
We return to Roche. Only the witcher is allowed to go to Loredo, the angry Rocher leaves. Loredo has the same claims to the monster. If there are no ships, then there is no income from taxes. We ask about Yorvet, about the opportunity to meet him. About the possibility of free movement for Zoltan, since the latter has some kind of connection with proteins. Loredo will remove these restrictions after the witcher has dealt with the Kayran. On this we finish the conversation and leave, taking the left weapon at the exit.
Hand wrestling, fisticuffs and dice poker are favorite pastimes among the common people, and a good way to earn decent money. During arm wrestling it is important to keep the round marker within the yellow bar and bring them to the right edge of the black strip, then the victory will remain with the witcher, and the pockets will become heavier from orens. In fist fights it is important to timely press on the keyboard the names of the buttons that appear on the monitor. There is enough time to decide and choose a key to defeat any opponent without any problems, the main thing is not to rush and not to poke at random. AT dice it is important to collect as many combinations of the highest value as possible. Unnecessary dice can be rerolled after the first roll by pointing them with the left mouse button. In case of any problems with the game - freezes, freezes and crashes to the desktop - you should update the game with a patch not lower than version v1.1.
