The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Guide Quest Walkthrough: Act I (Novigrad) Main Quest: Pyres of Novigrad

A Hive of Scum and Freakery

The location of Putrid Grove appears on your minimap. You can ignore any other beggars or thievery, until you reach the door with the hatch. Explain your predicament (you’re a freak), and you have a number of options to gain access:

  • (Chatting only) When asked for a passphrase, be sure to use the one the beggar told you. You’re let in. Otherwise, you’ll need other plans of infiltration (see below).
  • (Chatting or Tracking: 50 Crowns) Delve into your pockets, and produce coin for the sentry.
  • (Chatting or Tracking: Axii Delusion level 2) Request the sentry let you in with a spot of mind control.
  • Or find a different way into Putrid Grove.
