Objectives: |
Letho speaks about Vester as you canter down the hill and take the trails to Lindenvale. This guy is a piece of work, and he is part of the Nilfgaardian underworld. As you reach Lindenvale, watch Letho as he rides to some suspicious horses worth more than the village. You inform a young child to tell her parents to flee from here.
- After an impressive explosion, Vester’s men flee the barn, while Letho approaches Vester and tells you not to interfere, no matter what. Letho intimidates one of Vester’s crew into firing a crossbow into Letho’s shoulder, but this only causes Letho’s simmering fury to come to the boil. After a brief and bloody melee, Letho lays on the ground, appearing to be mortally wounded, and surrounded by the corpses of Vester’s bounty hunters. Vester himself is still alive, flanked by the only two other men still alive.
You can:
Simply walk away, failing the quest. Letho is not available during Main Quest: The Battle of Kaer Morhen.
Permit Vester and his men to leave, but not without first taking Letho’s snake amulet as proof they killed the witcher. You must talk Vester out of taking Letho’s head; they settle on the amulet.
Interfere, standing up to Vester and choosing to slaughter him and his men.
If the two latter choices are made, Letho subsequently reveals himself to be poisoned, but still quite alive. Faking his death allowed those hunting him to believe Letho was killed, and the snake amulet was proof of this. Of course, if you stuck your sword into Vester, there’s no one to corroborate this plan, which isn’t Letho’s preference. Either way, you can invite Letho to Kaer Morhen. Despite his past atrocities, he may be extremely handy in the battles to come.
Ghosts of the Past now concludes. Now return to Dolores and finish The Fall of the House Reardon.
