The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Hints
The Nekker Contract
1 of 8: To get this quest, click on the notice board that's to the right of the inn's entrance door, then click on the nekker contract and choose to take it.
2 of 8: If you haven't killed very many nekkers yet, the first thing to do will be to go kill a dozen or so of them. You'll know you've killed enough of them when you get an objective about destroying the entrances to the nekker tunnels.
3 of 8: What you're actually supposed to destroy are nekker nests. Before you go looking for them, make sure you have at least four grapeshot bombs.
4 of 8: You can buy some from Cedric in Lobinden, but they're very expensive. It would be much cheaper to buy the grapeshot formula from him and make your own.
5 of 8: Once you have four, start looking for the nests.
6 of 8: After you destroy all four nests, reenter Flotsam through its SW gate.
7 of 8: Turn left past the gate and enter the building that's behind the merchant stalls.
8 of 8: Go upstairs to find Louis Merse, and tell him about exterminating the nekkers to get the reward, which will include a diagram for a witcher's superb silver sword if you've also finished the "The Endrega Contract" side quest.
