The Witcher Hints
How can I get information from the witch?
1 of 7: The Reverend will send you here after lighting the shrines failed to drive off the beast.
2 of 7: Talk to Abigail, and she will deny any involvement with creating the beast, and will suggest that she might be able to make a potion to cause Alvin to give you some information.
3 of 7: She'll want 5 White Myrtel petals. You can find them all over the map, though you can only gather them if you've read a book on the local herbs, and know the needed intelligence skill. You can also buy some from the Herbalist who hangs around just outside the Inn.
4 of 7: Once you have them, bring the petals to Abigail. She'll tell you to wait for her to make the potion. Just leave and re-enter the house and she'll be done.
5 of 7: Talk to her again, and you'll get a scene where Alvin reveals the source of the beast.
6 of 7: Go back to the Reverend with this information, and he'll tell you to get the key to the Salamandra hideout from the innkeeper.
7 of 7: NOTE: Once you've gotten this far, almost all of the NPCs in this area will vanish permanently, so be sure you've finished all the secondary quests you want to before talking to the Reverend.
