The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide Quest Walkthrough: Act I (Novigrad) Secondary Quest: Redania's Most Wanted

Optional (Yennefer): Revelations with the Raven-Haired One

Objectives:

  • Talk to Yennefer about the crystal from Philippa’s megascope.
  • Nearest Signpost: Kaer Trolde Harbor (Ard Skellig), or Kaer Morhen.

Assuming you didn’t give the crystal to the witch hunters, make a long trek to the island of Ard Skellig, visiting Kaer Trolde Harbor and heading up into the village along the coast, into the New Port Inn and Yennefer’s chamber. Or, if Yennefer is in Kaer Morhen, then head there.

Yennefer is mocking in regards to Radovid’s cruelty. You want to see what the crystal can tell you about Philippa before any decision about Radovid is made. Images are encoded in the crystal—a conversation between Philippa and her sorceress friend Margarita Laux Antille about reviving the Lodge of Sorceresses, and attempts to restore Philippa’s vision.

Afterward, Yennefer is angry that no more of the transmission can be deciphered, and is adamant that the crystal must not be allowed to reach Radovid. You are told more about the Lodge of Sorceresses, and the restoration of sight. End your talk by:

Leaving the crystal with Yennefer.

Taking it with you to show the king (though you can return it to Yennefer before you meet with Radovid if you change your mind).

End: Do You Side with the Sorceresses?

Objective:

  • Tell Radovid what you learned about Philippa.

Return to Oxenfurt Port, and speak with the Redanian Soldier to access Radovid’s galleon. Radovid asks what you have learned. You can be evasive, or mention the crystal, or that she is trying to restore her eyesight. But Radovid is only concerned with the crystal, and your past decisions influence how this quest completes, and your reward (or lack thereof):

  • If you hand over the crystal, you are paid and Radovid mentions he’ll hand the crystal to his captive mages to examine.

ITEM: Crowns
  • If you already handed the crystal over to the witch hunters when exiting Est Tayiar, you learn they took the credit for finding the crystal, and are nothing but a coward in their eyes. Radovid has no proof they are lying, and refuses to pay you.
  • If you gave the crystal to Triss or Yennefer, you may elect to tell Radovid about what Philippa was planning, or you may remain evasive. Either way, without the crystal (and therefore proof), he refuses to pay you.

After one of these occurs, the quest concludes.
