Lilies and Vipers The Witcher 2 guide, walktrough

Last update: 11 May 2016

Customer: Brigida [#1]

Step 1: Escort Brigida to the river

Brigida accosts you just after exiting the marketplace after a talk with Radowid in the quest For Temeria!. You'll get to know, that there is probably a traitor in the camp, who is responsible for killing Bussy and kidnapping Anais. Woman asks you to escort her out of the town where she'll tell you everything what she saw. If you decide to start the journey immediately, you'll be transported to the camp [#2]. But first, you have to take her out of the camp of an Order of the Flaming Rose [#3].

To continue, you have to complete the quest Crown Witness.

Step 2: Talk with Kimbolt about Foltest's children

Return to the camp and go to the Kimbolt [#4] to talk with him about received order. You can also try ask him about other things but the focus on the order. Regardless of you show the letter or not, he'll offer you money for checking the authenticity of the letter and reaching the truth.

Step 3: Check the authenticity in the scribe's workshop or accuse Kimbolt in front of Natalis

Now you have two choices:

• Accuse Kimbolt immediately. Decision described in the Step 3, Variant A.
• You go to the scribe to check the letter. Decision described in the Step 3, Variant B.

Remark! If you decide to accuse Kimbolt now you won't know about true events.

Step 3, Variant A: Accuse Kimbolt

Natalis you can find nearby [#5]. It's enough to show him the evidence, and then you'll see a scene of arresting the baron. Quest ends.

Reward: 250 XP

Step 3, Variant B: Check the authenticity of the letter

Scribe's house you can find on the left from the exit of baron's chambers. After getting there [#6] you'll see totally drunk Scribe, lying in front of his house and muttering something. His talking will be useful (at least most of it) so listen carefully:

"Young alchemist! Not all that falls out an arse is gold. Yet a cormorant old shits spells out his hole, vapors to cleanse in water cold. So be bold! Be bold!.

The king of reagents? Pisssss....

Light, quench, shit, rinse...

Cormorants... A striiiing of cooooorrmooorraannnts..."

What is more, it's worth to take few notes from the workshop: Invisible Pigments, Scribe Draft and Note for the Scribe. Study everything carefully and start preparing mixture. Proper sequence is like below:

1. Light - Add burnt lime to the flask;

2. Quench - Add water to the flask;

3. Shit - Add cormorant guano to the flask;

4. Rinse - Heat the flask, capture the vapors and douse them with water.

Such mixture check on the Kimbolt's Document. Paper will get red, what means that it's false.

Step 4: Talk with the Kimbolt about the false letter

Return to Kimbolt [#4] and tell him that the letter is a forgery. Besides reward which is few dozens orens, baron will ask you for another favor. If you agree, the quest The Messenger activates. In case of refusal, you won't know all truth.

Step 5: Get to know about Bussy and Anais lot, then talk with Natalis

To finish this quest you have to get to know as much as you know, to point out the traitor to Natalis. To do so, you have to complete two quests:

• Pacta Sunt Servanda - when you leave the baron's chamber, you'll be accosted by the Maravel's man, whose master would like to see you.
• The Messenger - you have to agree to do another quest for Kimbolt.

When you get to know all truth - or not -go to the Natalis [#5]. Below you can find all variants which are possible solutions in this quest:

Accuse Kimbolt:

• You completed quest Crown Witness and go straight to the Natalis, without checking an authenticity of the letter;
• You completed quest Pacta Sunt Servanda in which you helped blackmailers, for what you get testimonies against the baron.

Reward: 500 XP

Reward you get from Maravel.

Accuse Maravel:

1. You completed quest The Messenger in which you got letter with an order as a proof.
2. You completed quest Pacta Sunt Servanda, for what you get testimonies against the baron and The Messenger in which you got Maravel's letter.

Reward: 500 XP

Reward you get from Kimbolt.

Accuse Kimbolt and Maravel:

Reward: 750 XP
