Zyvik

Dutiful Zyvik can be found hanging out near Bras of Ban Ard or in the inn. You can ask him his opinions on what’s happening in the city. His responses change slightly depending on if Henselt is alive or dead.

Street Preacher

Just across the street from the Eternal Flame is a street preacher who springs to life and begins haranguing the crowd whenever you pass by. This guy has nothing to do with any quests or getting loot, but you should pause and listen to his full rants once. He has two rants, both of which are too long and rambling to hear completely while you’re just running around. They’re pretty hilarious if you hear them in full, though, so pause if you happen to hear him saying something new while you run by.

Polycarp of Rinde

You may only trade with Polycarp of Rinde if you are playing the PC version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition and have imported a save from The Witcher where Geralt has allied with the Order. You can find him in the Order of the Flaming Rose’s camp, just outside the main gates of Loc Muinne. Polycarp must be persuaded or subject to the Axii Sign Hex before he is willing to trade with you. His overall shop list is very similar to Falas’s, as he specializes in selling crafting materials for making armor, runes, and armor enhancements. He also sells the steel sword Harvall, which is probably the chapter’s third-best steel sword.

Harpies

There’s an area to the northeast of Loc Muinne where you are attacked by harpies nearly every time you pass through. You are likely to encounter them for the first time when you go to do this chapter’s Poker Face side quest. In terms of difficulty the encounter is trivial, but it can be really useful if you end up needing to grind money in this chapter. The harpies respawn roughly once an hour, so you can simply meditate and then go trigger the encounter if you need to grind for some fast cash.
