Brothers in Arms: Novigrad

Brothers in Arms: Novigrad is the ally quest for Novigrad in The Witcher 3, and the one with the most names on the list. Geralt asks his friends in the city to help defend Kaer Morhen against the Wild Hunt, and some of them want something in return first.

How to start Brothers in Arms: Novigrad

The quest starts after Va Fail, Elaine, together with The Isle of Mists. It is a level 22 quest, and it fails if not done before you sail to the Isle of Mists.

Who can help, and what they want

Triss: comes to Kaer Morhen whatever you do, but she wants your help with Now or Never. Do it. If not, she says Geralt has Yennefer to thank for her being there.
Zoltan: always agrees. At Kaer Morhen he works as an amateur armorer, handy for repairs. Finish A Dangerous Game before you ask him, because he leaves right away and that quest fails.
Dijkstra: does not fight, but if you asked Menge about his treasure in Count Reuven’s Treasure, he gives you 1,000 crowns, two greater runestones and the diagram for tracker’s gauntlets.
Vernon Roche and Ves: only join if you complete An Eye for an Eye and Ves survives it.

Tips

When you talk to Roche, ask for his help as soon as the option appears. Ending the conversation early can make the option disappear.

Walkthrough

Talk to Triss and help her with Now or Never.
Finish A Dangerous Game, then talk to Zoltan.
Talk to Dijkstra (he pays you if you asked Menge about his treasure).
Complete An Eye for an Eye with Ves surviving, then talk to Roche and ask for help right away.

Quest Consequences & Choices

Triss and Zoltan always come. Roche and Ves only join if Ves survives An Eye for an Eye. Dijkstra only pays if you helped him in Count Reuven’s Treasure. Asking Zoltan before finishing A Dangerous Game fails that quest. The quest fails if not done before The Isle of Mists.
