Redania's Most Wanted

SecondaryNovigrad
Geralt found and searched Philippa's hideout. Though there were signs of her presence everywhere, the sorceress herself was long gone. She had, however, left one thing behind that could prove of great value - a damaged crystal from her megascope. The witcher knew such a gem could, if properly probed, reveal priceless information about her doings. He thus was faced with a choice - should he give the crystal to Radovid, or take it to one of his sorceress allies?
Missable. This quest fails for good once you start The Isle of Mists (needed for Reason of State). Finish it first — see the full missables checklist.

Choices & consequences

The witch hunters want the blinded sorceress Philippa Eilhart found. One of the Radovid-assassination side quests — though, unlike A Deadly Plot, it can be failed without locking out Reason of State.

Hand the recovered crystal to the waiting hunters, or keep it?

  • Keep it (fight the hunters)

    The crystal is yours to investigate. Take it to Yennefer or Triss to learn Philippa's plot to revive the Lodge of Sorceresses.

  • Give it to the hunters

    They take the credit and you learn nothing.
