The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Hints

What if I took the first route and went through the torture chamber?

  • 1 of 7: Leave the torture chamber by going up some stairs and through a door, then quiet down the prisoner in the nearby cell with an easy QTE.
  • 2 of 7: Go through the doorway near the SW corner of the area, then turn left after going up some stairs to find a searchable container with a club in it.
  • 3 of 7: Equip the club, then slowly edge up the next set of stairs until Shilard tells the guards in the next room to follow him.
  • 4 of 7: Wait until he leads them all off to the north, then run up the rest of the stairs and into the area on the right.
  • 5 of 7: Stand next to the barrels in the back corner and wait until you see all five guards run by on their way down to the dungeon area you just left. (Note that one of them lags behind the others.)
  • 6 of 7: Go into the northern area that Shilard led them into to find a barred door you can open.
  • 7 of 7: Past that is a door that leads outside, where you'll get the "Reach the riverboat" objective.
