The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt eGuide Secondary Quests Secondary Quests: Novigrad: Gildorf and the Bits (7)

Fencing Lessons

Locations: Var Attre Residence, Tretegor Gate, Seven Cats Inn

Characters: Var Attre Guard Captain, Rosa var Attre, Lucas, Kobe

Enemies: None

Recommended Items: 50 Crowns, Axii Delusion Level 2

A Stroll By Traitor’s Gate

Objectives:
  • Go to the var Attre residence tomorrow to give Rosea fencing lessons.
  • Meet with Rosa.
  • Nearest Signpost: St. Gregory’s Bridge.

Stride over to the Guard Captain at the Var Attre residence, who tells you Miss Rosa has left the confines of the residence, and walks near Temple Bridge. She requests your presence there.

Supercilious Swordplay

Objectives:
  • Follow Rosa.
  • Defeat Rosa.

It is a short dash through the city to the eastern outskirts by the Pontar river and the Tretegor Gate (signpost), where Rosa and her Nilfgaardian bodyguard are waiting to greet you. Speak with her and, after dismissing her protection with a petulant bark, she tells you to follow her. So much for the fencing lesson.

Follow Rosa onto the bridge spanning the river, where she orders you to fight her using real weapons, “like in the novels.” Begin to battle, but after a few strikes, she thinks better of this tomfoolery, and yields. She asks you to turn as she adjusts the corset that is pinching her.

When you oblige, she disappears. As Rosa’s diplomat father is more tiresome (and battle-hardened) than his daughter, you decide to find her.

Quest Conclusion: The Nerve of Nilgaardians

Objectives:
  • Find Rosa.
  • (Optional) Defeat the drunks harassing Rosa.

It only takes a moment using your Witcher Senses to find her fresh footprints, and follow them southward, down the road to the Seven Cats Inn just outside town. Rosa is being pestered by two drunk yokels, named Lucas and Kobe. You can tell the two pissants to:

  • Piss off. This starts a one-sided fight between you and both of them, and you should quickly cut them down.
  • (50 Crowns) Offer some coin for them to leave. They mutter a few more obscenities, and depart without incident.
  • (Axii Level 2) Tell them to apologize and leave. They duly oblige, and depart without incident.

Afterwards, Rosa’s arrogant and poisonous verbiage continues, leaving you with little doubt as to why the Nilfgaard are hated in these parts. As you part, the quest concludes.
