A Favor for Radovid is one of the shortest main quests in The Witcher 3, but it pulls Geralt into the political games of the North. King Radovid V of Redania has heard about the witcher and wants something from him: help finding Philippa Eilhart, the sorceress who used to be his adviser.
How to start A Favor for Radovid
The quest triggers at the end of Get Junior. As Geralt leaves Whoreson Junior’s hideout, Redanian soldiers approach him and say the king would like a word. It is a level 9 quest worth 50 XP, and the reward drops once Geralt is past level 22.
An audience on the king’s ship
The soldiers take Geralt to Radovid’s flagship, where the king, sharp, paranoid and obsessed with hunting mages, asks Geralt to find Philippa Eilhart for him. Whatever Geralt answers, the quest ends right there.
What happens next
The conversation starts the secondary quest Redania’s Most Wanted, which ties into a much bigger plot around Radovid later in the game.
Tips
- Do not fast travel away from Junior’s hideout after Get Junior. If you skip the conversation with Radovid’s soldiers, this quest and the ones that follow from it may not trigger.
