The Witcher Hints
Saving Adda
1 of 5: If you want to free Adda from her curse, you'll have to stay alive in the crypt for a while without killing her -- note that you *cannot* leave the room or the timer for saving her will not count down.
2 of 5: This is actually very easy -- you only have to stay alive for about 2 in-game hours, and the Striga is a bit slower than you.
3 of 5: Keep running around, using the crypt in the center of the room to force her to run in circles. If she gets too close, you can fire off an Aard or Igni to slow her down (but don't use Igni too much or she might die).
4 of 5: You really shouldn't have much trouble surviving. Every now and then you'll see a cut-scene where a candle will go out on the crypt -- once they are all extinguished your night is done.
5 of 5: Leave the crypt, and get your crappy reward -- a sword that wouldn't have been useful in Chapter 2, though it's really no better than the potion you can make if you kill her.
