The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide Secondary Quests Strangers In The Night*

Exchanging Glances

Location: Oraas

Characters: Rufus, Theophile Mario Rosco, Manfred

Enemies: None

Head past the sunflowers, and to the river bank near a small fortification of Redanian soldiers, where you stumble upon a group of travelers. One of them (a gruff soldier by the name of Rufus) is speaking with a scholar Theophile and a merchant named Manfred.

You can:

  • Tell them your name, then leave before asking about any news. No one dies.
  • Or, ask about the goings on in these parts, and the conversation quickly degenerates as Rufus becomes more convinced Manfred is much more than a merchant—his knowledge of troop maneuvers for example.

End: Death Was Just a Chance Away

Whether you attempt to calm the situation or not, Rufus unsheathes his sword and claims Manfred is a spy! You can, through your conversation, stay out of the fight, help Rufus (and slay Manfred), or help Manfred and slay Rufus. Or just stay out of it. The survivor rewards you justly, with a diagram. Otherwise, you receive nothing. Then the quest concludes.

Items: Diagram
