The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide Episode 1: Main Quests: Hearts Of Stone Open Sesame: The Safecracker

Option #2: Hans Off Quinto!

Objectives

  • Go to the mercenaries’ camp and talk to Quinto.
  • Defeat Hans in a fistfight.

A short distance roughly south from the Herbalist’s Hut is a mercenaries’ camp where you’ll find Quinto caged, and guarded by a group of ruffians lead by Hans of Cidaris. You explain you require Quinto’s services, and after some banter, you’re left with having to offer Hans something. You can:

  • (200 crowns) Pay Quinto’s release fee of 200 crowns to Hans. If you forced Hans to pay you more money during Archgriffin monster hunt, Quinto’s freedom is worth 400 crowns for you.
  • Try to make a deal, usually dropping around 140 crowns in order to buy Quinto’s freedom.
  • Ask if Hans fancies a game of Gwent. To the winner goes Quinto. If you lose though, expect to pay double to free the safecracker.
  • Mention Hans is “acting like a fishwife”, goading him into a bout of fisticuffs. To the winner goes Quinto. If you’re knocked on your arse and lose though, expect to pay double to free the lock-picker.

After Quinto demonstrates his skill at exiting cages, you give him instructions on reaching the herbalist’s hut, and this quest concludes.
