Lies Got Wee Legs And Don’t Run Far — The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide

Locations: Road near Tretegor Gate (Novigrad), Seven Cats Inn

Characters: Rostan Muggs, Gerd

Enemies: None

Objectives

Go to the place where Muggs was attacked and examine it.
Follow the clues to find Muggs’ attacker.
Nearest Signpost: Tretegor Gate.

Agree to help recover the documents from the thief, who should be smelling of the dwarven moonshine Rostan brained him with during the mugging.

Cross the main bridge heading east, and use your Witcher Senses to uncover a small puddle of this moonshine. It stinks like a Skelliger’s codpiece. Follow this trail of stench down the hill to the southeast, towards the Seven Cats Inn on the outskirts of town. Here you’ll find Gerd, who isn’t happy about being accused of thievery, and has a remarkably different story about the documents he acquired.

You can:

Tell him “gimme the papers” and start a fistfight with Gerd.
(Gwent) Offer to play a round of Gwent with him. He agrees. Beat him for the paperwork.
Ask how much he wants for the papers. They aren’t for sale to you, forcing you to choose another option.
(Axii Delusion Level 1) Gather the documents by addling Gren’s brain with your magic. This works.
Items: Quest Item: Title to Property

End: Papers, Please

Objectives

Compare Muggs’ and the attacker’s accounts.

Once you have the papers, return to Muggs, and question him about both accounts. It seems the dwarf was a little economical with the truth. A fact you can use to ask for more coin before the quest concludes (he doesn’t give you any), or you can hand over the papers for the agreed amount.
