The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Hints

The Rotfiend Contract

  • 1 of 5: To get this quest, click on the notice board that's to the right of the canteen tent's entrance, then click on the rotfiend contract and choose to take it.
  • 2 of 5: If you haven't killed very many rotfiends yet, the first thing to do will be to go kill a bunch of them. You'll know you've killed enough when you get an objective about burning corpses.
  • 3 of 5: Now you need to go around and burn the corpses that the rotfiends are feeding off of.
  • 4 of 5: There are nine corpses scattered about the region that you need to burn. When you find a corpse, move up to it and click to burn it.
  • 5 of 5: After you get them all, return to the camp and talk to Proximo (near the fire that's a bit SE of the arena) to get your reward.
