When you reach the top of the island, you'll have to dismount your horse (or not) and fight a handful of henchmen at a gate. Dandelion will be on one horse, and you're expected to mount the other horse and follow him, but depending on your horse riding skills, you might have an easier time just staying on foot and killing all of Whoreson Junior's men who get in your way. When you gain control of Ciri, you'll have to do some fighting and / or fleeing as you make your way to the top of Temple Isle. He'll then tell you what he knows about Ciri, which will lead to one of her flashback quests. With the soldier out of the way, you'll be able to release Dandelion from his bindings. Just disrupt the soldier, then hit him, then retreat, and then repeat. You won't have much room to maneuver, so Aard is probably the best sign to use. Once inside the hut, you'll have to fight the soldier, a level 13 witch hunter. You'll find the entrance to the cellar a short ways to the east of the hut. They'll tell you that the soldier kicked them out of the hut, and they'll give you the key to their cellar so you can sneak inside. To get into the hut, you'll need to talk to the nearby dwarf and halflings. However, the hut will be locked, so you won't be able to charge in. If you then head to the nearby hut, you'll hear Dandelion and the soldier inside. You'll spot tracks going down both paths, but if you talk to the nearby peasant, then he'll tell you that the soldier went to the "left" - by which he means the right.Īs you follow the road to the right, you'll see evidence that the soldier's horse started to limp, and then a short ways beyond that, you'll find the horse collapsed on the ground (#3), and you'll figure that Dandelion and the soldier must be near. This will allow you to detect the soldier's tracks, which will lead you to a fork in the road to the north (#2). When you start following Dandelion, you'll need to turn on your witcher senses. There isn't any way to fail this quest, so you can take your time. My earlier choices all put me on good terms with him - I didnt slaughter everyone earlier, so hell be good to go for the later quests.
#A POET UNDER PRESSURE UPDATE#
But you never receive any update saying that objective is even available. Zoltan will tell you to give chase while he deals with the escort, but you can help if you want, and then loot all of the corpses. Youre supposed to be able to talk to him about assisting with this quest - if you dont you immediately fail an optional objective. Zoltan and his dwarves will attack, but one of the soldiers will flee to the north with Dandelion draped across his saddle. You won't win anything if you beat her.Īfter playing gwent (or not), Dandelion and his escort of soldiers will arrive. You can play her or not, and it won't make any difference.

Priscilla will then ask if you're interested in a game of gwent. No matter how you respond, she'll end up staying, so you might as well agree to it. Priscilla will then ask if she can stay so she'll be there when Dandelion arrives. After talking to Zoltan for a bit, Priscilla will show up and let you know that Dandelion's transfer to Oxenfurt will begin in the morning. To that end, you should meet up with Zoltan on the road between Novigrad and Oxenfurt (#1). Novigrad, in this quest you'll finally get to finish the job.
