The Witcher Hints

How do I get into Shani's house?

  • 1 of 4: To get in, you will have to get by a very tough old lady.
  • 2 of 4: She will ask you for something different every time. There's a pretty large amount of possible things she will want as a bribe, ranging from lady's gloves to alcohol, or just a straight cash bribe. Her dialogue beforehand will give you a clue. Alternatively, you can show her a signet ring you get from the shoe-shine.
  • 3 of 4: If you get the one where she wants to drink with you, refuse and just leave, as she will *never* let you in if you're drunk.
  • 4 of 4: Once you've successfully given her the right present/bribe, she should let you in without trouble from there on out.
