When Geralt attempts to reach Oxenfurt, he finds that all bridges into the city are blockaded. A shady merchant offers him a transit pass to facilitate entry into the city.

Journal entry[ | ]

During the war that pitted the Northern Realms against Nilfgaard, the border along the Pontar river was closed. Whoever wanted to cross at the border posts had to show a pass issued by the Redanian high command. Or, barring that, one of the convincing counterfeits sold by the shady Redanian who hung about near the river crossings.

If you buy false papers straight away or if Albin Hart survives during Bitter Harvest quest:

The false papers proved as good as real ones. Once Geralt had acquired them, he could cross the border at will.

If Albin Hart dies during Bitter Harvest quest:

The conterfeiter made Geralt an offer he couldn't refuse: a falsified pass in exchange for helping the man's brother. Geralt eagerly agreed to the exchange, but didn't hold up his end of the bargain. The conterfeiter's brother died, and Geralt had to find another way of securing transit papers.

Notes[ | ]

If you have Delusion skill active, you can use it during dialogue with the merchant and get additional 50% discount and 30 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level. Thus if you completed Bitter Harvest quest and used Delusion, the price of fake papers would be only 25 crown(s) for you instead of initial 100 crown(s).
