A Refreshing Swim in a Filthy Canal

Triss explains her recent predicaments as you retrieve your weapons from the sentry, and tell her of your search for Ciri. Follow Triss northeastward, into a store. She asks the proprietor (Kluhg) for the ingredients she ordered. Unfortunately, they lie on a canal bed, thanks to Temple Guards increasing their presence. Answer how you wish before Kluhg escapes the incoming guards, and you do the same via a trapdoor into the sewers.

Help Triss slay a wayward drowner, and look around your dank surroundings using your Witcher Senses. Triss mentions a draft. Look for the torch on the central pillar, and push in a loose brick to reveal a rough passage out into the canal. Follow Triss as you speak about Novigrad and the war. She stops under the bridge, and hopes you might find her lost parcel.

Wade forwards (westward) into the canal water, before diving down and attempting to locate the remains of a small boat close to the mouth of the canal. Triss’ sack is among the weeds. Surface, then return it to her.

Climb the nearby ladder and follow Triss once more. She crosses the bridge and heads east, until she’s greeted by a portly fellow named Brandon.
