(Optional) An Evening Of The Arts — The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide

Objectives

(Optional) Take part in the soiree’s entertainments.

There are a number of optional activities to engage in as you surreptitiously investigate the estate of Lady Orianna. Why not attempt any (or all) of the following?

PAINTING THE TOWN RED (AND BLUE)

Objectives

(Optional) Grab some paint balls. Throw paint balls to express your inner artist.

Perhaps you have an artistic side that wishes to be let out during the festivities? Visit the artist standing by the archway at the bottom of the balcony steps (to the left), and gather a handful of paint balls from one (or more) of the five bowls on the table in front of a large canvas. You are encouraged to express yourself, which means lobbing paint. What fun!

Items: Paint Ball (3)

A TIPPLE OF ABSINTHE

Check either of the small, circular tables by a pillar near the paint-throwing for a shot (or two) of absinthe, the preferred hooch of artists.

MIME THE GAP

Betwixt two rugs a duo of mimes are playing a game of tug of war, with a rope that only exists in your mind’s eye. Feel free to pull the “rope,” so both mimes are sent tumbling. The effect is strangely satisfying.

SIT A SPELL

“Look at the mage! I believe he’s casting spells,” remarks the Duchess, pointing at the Ofieri chap sitting on a magic carpet “floating” over the pond by the statue. The Great Kalesti is more than a purveyor of parlor tricks. Watch his magical dolphin conjuring; it will make you a believer!

FULL OF HOT AIR

Over on the balcony, there are a number of lanterns to light; ignite any you wish to send it drifting upward into the night sky.

OPTIONAL ALCOVE (north): “PRETENTIOUS, MOI?”

Peer into the northern alcoves and spot a slumped drunk. Another alcove along the northern gallery of arches features a forlorn fellow with his head in his hands, crestfallen at being described as pretentious. He has very little to offer you except a look into the mind of a man with a deflated ego.

OPTIONAL ALCOVE (SOUTH): UPTIGHT ARTISTS

Check the southern alcoves to overhear the trading of stolen paintings between two patrons. Another alcove along the southern side of the estate features a furious art patron and his muse, who aren’t happy about “Cecilia” performing earlier in the evening. They wish to be alone. Oblige them.
