Walkthrough[edit | edit source]
Having just found out that the Grand Master of the Order of the Flaming Rose is behind Salamandra, the witcher and his ally (either Yaevinn, Siegfried or Triss) head back to Vizima to inform the king. Geralt's path has already affected the political landscape in Temeria (and abroad) and those consequences are mentioned in his exchange with Foltest.
Politics aside, Geralt brings the king up to date on what he has found, and is urged to finish the job for 8000 (10000, less an appropriate amount of income tax). The witcher then sets out, still aided by his ally, to find the Grand Master at the Cloister and finally retrieve the stolen Witchers' Secrets. Along the way he encounters friends and allies, frightened refugees, mutant assassins, greater brothers and a zeugl.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Be aware that Dandelion is the last and only access to your storage from this point on. You will have some chances to collect ingredients and potion bases (and find several fireplaces) but no more opportunities to buy or sell. Best to put away gifts and other valuables and just stock up on potions and ingredients.
- For the Witcher / neutral path, you have the option of appeasing or further antagonising both Siegfried and Yaevinn as you meet them in the streets.
Phases[edit | edit source]
Meeting the King[edit | edit source]
![]() |
It looks like Foltest made a deal with Radovid, the king of Redania. They want to take control of the situation together. I must speak to the king, protect Yaevinn from being arrested. Maybe news of the Grand Master's betrayal will work... I must inform the king of the Grand Master's betrayal. or | |
![]() |
It seems Foltest has found a new ally in Radovid, the king of Redania. I must tell the king of the Grand Master's treason, but convince him that not all the Order's members have betrayed its ideals. I must inform the king of the Grand Master's betrayal. or | |
![]() |
It seems Foltest is negotiating with Radovid — Temeria cannot take control of the situation on its own. I must tell the king of the Grand Master's betrayal. I must inform the king of the Grand Master's betrayal. |
Hunting[edit | edit source]
The king promised me 8000 orens for killing the Grand Master. I must make my way through Vizima to the Cloister. I'll find him (the Grand Master) there, and I'll slay him... I must break through Vizima to the Cloister. The Grand Master must die...
Dandelion[edit | edit source]
Dandelion is staying behind — to compose more of his absurd songs recounting current events. I must go on, hunt down the Grand Master in the Cloister. I must go on and hunt down the Grand Master in the Cloister.
Civilians + Mutants or Mutants + The Greater Brothers or Siegfried[edit | edit source]

Civilians[edit | edit source]Siegfried leads the Order's mutants. He has decided to exterminate the civilian population, and I cannot allow that to happen. I will not let the mutants slaughter civilians. Mutants[edit | edit source]Siegfried is dead as are all of his mutants, but we must go on to the Cloister. Getting through the streets may be difficult as fires rage everywhere. We must find a safe path forward as fires rage in the streets. or | |||||

Mutants[edit | edit source]The Order has released its mutants onto the city streets. They threaten humans and we must get rid of them. We must tend to the Order's mutants. The Greater Brothers[edit | edit source]Siegfried claims the mutants were born of a project pursued by the Order, a project that was to yield warriors called Greater Brothers. It seems they went beyond transforming just a few knights... For now, we need to find a safe path forward as fires rage in the streets. We must find a safe path forward as fires rage in the streets. or | |||||

Siegfried or Siegfried + Passage[edit | edit source]
|
An Invitation[edit | edit source]
I should follow this man. He may know a way through the building's cellar. The streets are too dangerous. I'll look for a passage through the cellars.
The Key[edit | edit source]
Our host claims we can get to the next building through the cellar, bypassing a long segment of burning streets. I must search for the key, which supposedly is somewhere in the building. I must search for the key to the cellar. It's supposed to be somewhere in the building.
The Way through the Cellar[edit | edit source]
I have the key to the passage through the cellars, which will save us time and effort. I'll move on through the cellars.
A Madman[edit | edit source]
Upstairs we met a man who has clearly had to endure too much... He claimed we can leave the building through the window. According to the man, we can leave the building through the window.
Knights of the Order + The Sewers or Scoia'tael + A Wounded Knight or Yaevinn[edit | edit source]

Knights of the Order[edit | edit source]We met some soldiers preparing for a fight. Apparently there are knights of the Order around. We must teach them a lesson. There are knights of the Order around and we must teach them a lesson. The Sewers[edit | edit source]The wounded knight wheezed something about getting to the Cloister through the sewers. He also mentioned that a zeugl guards the passage. I got a key from him. Time is running out, we must descend into the sewers. Time is running out, we must descend into the sewers. or | |||

Scoia'tael[edit | edit source]Yaevinn and his Scoia'tael are dead. The path is clear, we can move on. We can now proceed. A Wounded Knight[edit | edit source]The wounded knight wheezed something about getting to the Cloister through the sewers. He also mentioned that a zeugl guards the passage. I got a key from him. Time is running out, we must descend into the sewers. Time is running out, we must descend into the sewers. or | |||

To the Cloister[edit | edit source]
We defeated the zeugl! We must find a way out of the sewers and head for the Cloister. We need to leave the sewers and head on to the Cloister.
The Believers[edit | edit source]
We're near the Cloister, but we can expect a savage fight before we face the Grand Master. We must break through to the Cloister gates.
The Cloister Gates[edit | edit source]
The guards lie defeated. I'm almost there. Time to enter the Cloister.
The Confrontation[edit | edit source]
The Grand Master's Chambers[edit | edit source]
The Grand Master's chambers are beyond this door. The guards possibly have keys. A fight to the death awaits just across this threshold. I must prepare for a fight to the death.
Face to Face[edit | edit source]
My meeting with the Grand Master did not go as I thought it would. A confrontation with Jacques de Aldersberg is imminent, the pursuit ends here. I've forced the Grand Master into a confrontation which only one of us will survive.
