A New Hope [MQ] - p. 2 | Chapter 8 - Alester Sarwyck Game of Thrones Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
City Watch Tower
Point 1
Thanks to the disguise you'll be able to move freely in all tower. Use it to collect as many information as possible about events in sewers and Gawen.
Point 2
Talk with all guards on the ground floor and ask about prisoner, his victim, bets and watch's leader. Ask about everything.
Point 3
When you gather enough information, talk to Caron, who is guarding an entrance to the cells. Use bets as an excuse to make him let you in.
Point 4
Talk with Humphrey in the dungeon. He'll let you in no matter what.
Point 5
In the room on the right you find presumed body of Gawen. Humphrey accosts you again and you'll have to trick him to make him let you go deeper, to the prisoner (Gawen's murderer). If you spoke with all guards upstairs, you can use a name of officer, Harrold, to frighten Humphrey.
Point 6
Interrogate the prisoner, Orys, and he'll tell you about Valarr's participation in murder of Gawen. You may kill Orys, as an act of vengeance or spare him due to the information he revealed. If you save his life, he'll help you in the future.
Point 7
Now you have to go upstairs, to the room of the watch's leader, Janos Slynt, who seems to be involved in the murder. Raymun tries to stop you - pretend that you have a task from Janos.
Point 8
In the Janos' room you find letter which confirms Orys' version of incident.
Before you return to Orys, pick up leader's seal from the bedside table. It'll be necessary if you want to leave the tower with the prisoner safely.
Point 9
You can leave Orys to stay in prison (if you didn't kill him) or help him escape. If you choose the second option, you get a new trait after this mission: Art of Escape (Deflection +1%).
Point 10
On the way to exit you will be stopped by Caron. Lie that you're moving the prisoner and use the leader's seal to avoid fight. Otherwise, you and Orys will have to kill all guards you've met.
King's Landing
Point 1
Return to Harlton and show new facts. He'll order you to get some book and send you back to sewers, on the arena. There a man with this book should be waiting for you.
Point 2
Nearby the sewers you'll be accosted by Hubb. After conversation you get a secondary quest (Self-Made Girl) which you get complete within few chapters. I recommend to do this quest now if you're an archer, because at the end you receive very good distance weapon.
After that (and maybe completing the secondary quest) go to the arena.
King's Landing Sewers
Point 1
Meet Ruper on the arena. He promises to give you the book if you help him pay his debts. To do so, you'll have to fight on arena. During dialogue with Ossifer (organizer) choose your nickname. Choose nickname praying the R'hllor if you want to attract an attention of crowds.
Point 2
Go downstairs, where participants are preparing. Desmond will tell you about their flaws and virtues. The weak spot of strong guy you gonna fight is susceptibility to bleeding. But he can terrify (you can't use your skills). If you ask Desmond about virtues, you get a little bonus to terror resistance.
Point 3
Your enemy is Errok, huge and wild warrior from the lands on the other side of Wall. Through all the battle try to knock him down and stumble, regenerating your energy in the meantime. If you see that Errok is trying to use Fear, interrupt it. But when he succeed to do so, round him on the arena waiting for the effects to pass. Continue until you win the battle.
Point 4
Return to Rupert and he'll give you the book. What is more, Ossifer, will offer you participation in the arena fights. From now on you can return here to begin one of the most profitable secondary quest in the game, described at the end of this chapter. Remember, that you can complete it only in this chapter before you leave the King's Landing.
Point 5
Desmond gives you keys to the entrance to arena, nearby the Harlton's mansion. Exit there and talk to the nobleman.
King's Landing
Point 1
Reading the book gives you astonishing information (if you didn't read book or watch the serial) about the royal family. Lord Harlton will send you to the Riverspring for information in your father's documents.
Point 2
Marianne, Harlton's niece, will accost you behind the city walls. After that move to Riverspring (or complete secondary quests in King's Landing).
Riverspring
Point 1
In Riverspring you'll be accosted by Victor, who offers free ferry to Castlewood anytime.
Now you can also check how your actions in the 2nd chapter affected the city, talk with citizens you've saved and visit one of special merchants.
Point 2
When you finish tour, go to the castle to talk with your sister, Elyana.
