The Witcher Hints
Where can I find the books I need?
1 of 6: You are looking for two books, one called "The Secret Gates", another called "Ain Soph Aur".
2 of 6: To find "The Secret Gates" you'll need to talk to Golan Vivaldi. It's possible he'll be arrested when you go to see him (if you didn't give the weapons to the elves back in Chapter 1). If so you'll have to bail him out of jail for 200 gold -- this will actually result in him giving you both books for free.
3 of 6: Once you've talked to Vivaldi you can buy the book for 100 gold. You can also buy Ain Soph Aur for 300 gold, but there's a place you can get it for free.
4 of 6: Go to the swamp, and start out by escorting Gramps to the shrine.
