The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide Quest Walkthrough: Act I (Novigrad) Main Quest: Pyres of Novigrad

Alternate Entrance: The Sewer Slog

If none of these options to enter Putrid Grove appeals, or you lose your thief, there is a third method of entering Putrid Grove. Head outside the city walls, to the Glory Gate, and find the sewer entrance under this structure (see picture). Enter the sewers with your finest drowner-slaying equipment at the ready, since a few of these creatures are lurking down here. Use your Witcher Senses (if you wish) to locate a corpse, looting it for a key.

ITEM: Quest Item: Key to the Storage Room

The key opens the door to a storage room, which has a ladder to climb. You surprise a small group of thieves in the den above—they must be fought. Once defeated, you may exit into Putrid Grove itself, circumventing the gatekeeper entirely.

Objective:

  • Meet with the King of Beggars.

Stride into Putrid Grove, and head eastward along the muddy alley to the short porch with the lit door.

Inside, the King of Beggars and Triss Merigold have their frank discussion about the flight of sorceresses interrupted by your precense. The King bids his farewell, leaving you to follow Triss.
