Map[edit]
Strategy Guide/Tips[edit]
- If you lost the dog, just go to the location of the Overgrown Cabin on your own. The cabin is located west of the battlefield. See map above to help you find its exact location.
- You need to decide whether they help Rhosyn or not. If you have them help Rhosyn, he will join the Vildenvert family at their farm. If you say its too risky, Rhosyn dies of starvation (and you will find his dead body if you come back to the cabin). This is purely a moral decision, as the reward you will get will be the same either way
Dialog[edit]
Rhosyn: But there is more. My lieutenant demanded we defecate on command. Ballista bolts landing all around, and all he could say was "A soldier with a full stomach will not step onto the battlefield. Now shit - that is an order." Can you believe it?! The cretin!
Bastien: Stop hehe-- Ah! Yo - You're killing me. My-my ribs - haa, it hurts to laugh!
Geralt: That needs a tourniquet. But first... wanna explain what's going on here?
Dune: Bastien! Is he... has this Nilfgaardian captured you?
Bastien: No. He saved my life. I got a cut to me side, and then got hit in the head. Couldn't see anything. Rhosyn here found me as...as he crawled across the battlefield. His leg's twisted. And so we were - a blind man leadin a cripple. Found this place.
Dune: I'm takin' you home. We need to see to these wounds.
Bastien: I won't leave Rhosyn here. Alone, he'll die. And he can't go back to his own. He's deserted, they'll hang him.
Dune: And what if they find him with us? They'll hang us all, my Liesje included! No, the Black 'un stays here!
Geralt: Your Brother's right. It's too risky / If not for him, Bastien'd be dead
If you agree that they should help Rhosyn:
Geralt: Bastien only made it with the Black One's help. Maybe you oughta show him Nordlings aren't as barbarous as Nilfgaardians make us out to be.
Dune: Well.. I could give him our pa's clothes, teach him to work the field. But.. that accent. Fine, I'll take him in. Thank you, witcher. Your reward... and the gods protect ye.
If you do not agree about helping Rhosyn:
Geralt: Your brother's right, Bastien. Nilfgaardians know no mercy. They live by their law. A law that's crule as hell towards any who hide deserters, or aid them.
Bastien: Rhosyn... I'll bring you food. And a Herbalist. You'll see, in a week or two you -
Rhosyn: Just go.
Dune: Thank you, witcher. Your reward... and the gods protect ye.
