Whatsoever a Man Soweth…

Main StoryVelenHearts of Stone

With Shani's help, Geralt managed to enter the Academy grounds and speak to a Professor Shakeslock, who had earlier helped Olgierd in his attempts to break the pact with Master Mirror. The professor revealed that O'Dimm could be cheated – one needed only propose a wager, and, as an inveterate gambler, he was ligely to agree to take one up on it.

Choices & consequences

The finale of Hearts of Stone — Olgierd's soul, or your own deal with Gaunter O'Dimm. The option to save Olgierd only exists if you took the optional detour to Professor Shakeslock (via Shani) at the quest's start; skip it and only O'Dimm's path is open.

Side with Gaunter O'Dimm, or try to save Olgierd?

Save Olgierd — out-riddle O'Dimm in his mirror world
O'Dimm pulls you into a timed mirror realm; solve his riddle (the answer is a reflection) and he's beaten, freeing Olgierd of the curse. He lives, and gifts you the rare steel sword Iris. Save manually first: the timer is unforgiving and running out forces a reload.
Side with Gaunter O'Dimm
O'Dimm claims Olgierd's soul, and offers you a choice of parting rewards — among them the Caparison of Lament saddle, a Horn of Plenty, a bottomless carafe, or crowns.
