With her sights set on restoring the Lodge of Sorceresses in preparation for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher 3's fiℱnale, Yennefer has devised a plan to rescue one of her former colleagues from the Witch Hunters in Oxenfurt. Given that her scheme involves walking right into the prison where the sorꦍceresses are held, she enlists Geralt to help her with the dirty work.
The Great Escape covers the jailbreak, starting with Yennefer's research and ending𒈔 with the operation itself. The quest will have you walking right into the hornet's nest, with bloodthirsty Witch Hunters present in numbers and ready to kill another mutant.
Catching Abbé
This quest begins during Final Preparations, at Crippled Kate's where Yennefer waits. Once you meet her, she explains that she's waiting for Abbé Faria, said to be the only 🌞man who has escaped the dreaded Deireadh Prison.
The Witch Hunters keep mages and other undesirables incarcerated within the prison, with secu🐭rity so tight that most consider escaping impossible.
The man in question arrives for a drink shortly after. Geralt and Yennefer try to ask him about his escape, only for Abbé to flee Crippled Kate's. You will have to chase him down and interact with him to prevent him from escaping.
Do not worry if he outpaces you. Yennefer will teleport to him and end the chase if you take too long.
He calms down after being caught, relieved that he wasn't about to be captured again. He tells Geralt and Yennefer two crucial pieces of information; that he escaped through the sewers and that the guards are often drunk.
Yennefer devises a plan to use the sewers, going to Oxenfurt where she will make her preparations
You will have an optional objective to meet Zoltan. Asking for his help will remove some guards from the prison, making this quest much easier.
He will only agree to help if you have not completed 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Now or Never.
Entering The Prison
Once you are ready, go to Oxenfurt to meet Yennefer by a previously sealed well. With the help of some hired labor, she managed to open a new way into the elven ruins beneath the city. Once inside, you will be able to enter the prison underground.
Jump into the well and swim to the nearby ledge. Follow the quest marker through the area until you reach a Grave Hag. It is guarding a door and damaged mechanism missing a lever. Interact with it for the quest to update, havinꦗg Geralt find a replacement lever.
From the mechanism, take the north exit, go straight, and then turn east. You will find the replacement lever attached to another mechanism.
Return to the door and interact with the mechanism for Geralt to repair it, allowing you to enter the next area. There will be several necrophages after a breakable wall, consisting of three ghouls and a rotfiend.
The rotfiend is especially dangerous because it will explode when near death. In the confined sewers, avoiding this attack will be difficult. Make sure to watch the rotfiend carefully to have enough time to escape.
After killing the necrophages, reach the end of the tunnel and turn south. You will find the underground entrance to the prison there, letting you begin your mission in earnest.
Getting The Key
There will be two guards at the prison's lower entrance. If Zoltan did not get them drunk, you will have to kill both of them. Look for a key in the room to unlock a door in the back of the room. This will lead you up a set of stairs and to the cells.
You encounter Margarita, one of Aretuza's former headmistresses, in a cell. She has clearly seen better days and is more than ready to go. You will have to take the Prison Warden's key to unlock the cells and let her out.
If you spared Síle de Tansarville in The Witcher 2, or by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:simulating a Witcher 2 save, she will be sharing a cell with M🌳argarita and in considerably worse shape.
This is easier said than done. After taking another set of stairs up and killing a set of guards, you will have to enter the prison's main courtyard. As soon as you set foot outside, all the Witch Hunters will start attacking you.
You will have to contend with every kind of Witch Hunter imaginable. There are crossbowmen on the walls, shield-bearing guards, and even some halberdiers. You will have to slaughter all the Witch Hunters.
Try to rush up the walls and kill the crossbowmen as quickly as possible. Not only will this remove the risk of getting shot by them, but it will also funnel your enemies into a narrow space.
By cramming them into a tight space, you will be less likely to be surrounded and will have an easier time using bombs and signs on them.
Eventually, the Prison Warden will join in. He is a tougher opponent that attacks more quickly while being harder to stun after a parry. Fortunately, he only uses a sword. Once he is killed, search his body for the keys.
To complete the quest, free Margarita from her cell, prompting a cutscene where the sorceresses escape the prison. You will have to find your own way out and meet with Zoltan, if he helped you.
