Contract

Contract: Beast in the Oxenfurt Forest
If you know no fear and seek work, read this notice, for the call contained therein will be of great interest to you.
Hans of Cidaris, soldier of fortune and veteran of many wars, hereby makes known the following: Being greatly concerned about the fate of the local peasantry, which suffers horribly from the attacks of some monster nesting in the forest near Oxenfurt, I have decided to grant a purse of Novigrad crowns to the man who slays this beast.
Yet may it be known that nay man who comes to me without a trophy shall receive no gold, but instead shall be tossed out on his arse so hard he shan't sit again till the end of his days.
Hans of Cidaris,
World-famous soldier of fortune,
veteran of numerous wars,
Honored member of the Order of the Lily

Journal entry[ | ]

Mercenaries are usually the ones getting paid for killing things. This time, however, the shoe was on the other foot: a certain Hans of Cidaris, a soldier of fortune by trade, had made it known far and wide that he would pay a handsome sum to whoever could defeat the beast that had made its nest in the forest outside Oxenfurt. Geralt decided to take on the job.

Walkthrough[ | ]

  • Examine where the monster attacked using your Witcher Senses (25 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level)
  • Talk about the contract with the mercenary, Hans

Note[ | ]

  • You can find an interesting document at the broken body which in archgriffin's lair. This will reveal Hans's little secret why he as a menchery would spend money to hire a witcher.
  • If you mentioned the letter to Hans after you slay archgriffin, you can earn more coins.
  • After Geralt finishes talking to Hans and the quests closes, the broken body in archgriffin's lair will be gone together with the interesting document. There are no more clues to the story, but you may conclude that Hans cleaned up the lair to hide his little secret and/or he buried his good friend.
