Gather the object Triss needs and then engage her in conversation. Continue after Triss and then swim west until you reach the center of the area. You will find a torch by the center pillar and then push a loose brick to discover a secret entrance. Stick by Triss, take out the Drowner and use your Witcher Senses to investigate the location. Now take Geralt to the east and you will run into Triss and the King of the Beggars. Enter the storage room, ascend the ladder, kill the thieves and walk into Putrid Grove. Kill Drowners and use his Witcher Senses to find a body containing a key. If you prefer to do things the hard way, go outside of this city and head to Glory Gate, where Geralt will discover the entrance to the sewer. Otherwise you will need to fork over 50 Crowns or use Axii level two to avoid paying. If you know the passphrase you will be able to enter without much pushback. Now travel to the next marker on the map and tell the people there that you are a freak. You’re free to kill whoever’s there and you will then receive a passphrase. If that doesn’t sound fun, follow the other character to the south and Geralt walks into an ambush. The criminal hands over his loot to another character and you should keep an eye on the one closest to the canal. Stick close to the thief and wait for this person to do something bad, then continue trailing him east. When a person brings up Putrid Grove, travel south and pass over a bridge. Ideally you want one of these people to mention it, and the more people you chat with, the likelier it’ll happen. Select the first dialogue option but do not bring up Putrid Grove.

Additionally, you may speak to beggars nearby for even more intel. Now go inside the townhouse and use Geralt’s Witcher Senses to track down every last piece of loot.Įventually someone will commit a crime and you will need to tail the one responsible and question this person for information.

Head to Triss’ last known location and chat with some looters to see if they know her whereabouts. Send Geralt to the Glory Lane section in Novigrad, with the goal of reaching Hierarch Square, where two people were sentenced to die through a most brutal manner, burning at the stake.
