The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Hints

Woe to the Vanquished

  • 1 of 8: You'll get this quest when you see a fleeing woman get shot down by a guard while doing the "To the Temple" quest.
  • 2 of 8: Enter the house the woman ran out of and talk to the soldiers.
  • 3 of 8: Use either intimidation, persuasion, or the Axii sign to get the soldiers to leave.
  • 4 of 8: When the peasants talk to you, you can say "help comes at a price" to get a few orens as a reward, though that'll cause you to get a bit less XP.
  • 5 of 8: Leave the house and go on down the street until you reach a house that soldiers are preparing to burn.
  • 6 of 8: Talk to the commander until he attacks you, then use the Yrden sign to help you hack him into surrendering.
  • 7 of 8: After the soldiers leave, open the door to the house that they were going to burn and go inside.
  • 8 of 8: When the peasants talk to you, you can try to extort some money out of them (less XP again), but you'll have to successfully intimidate them to get it.
