A Warm Welcome

Redanian soldiers are turning back refugees fleeing Velen for Novigrad. Geralt can pay, persuade or fight to get them through.

Overview

A Warm Welcome is an unmarked secondary quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, set on the road southwest of Wheat Fields, down by the riverbank outside Novigrad.

What happens

A group of refugees who have fled Velen are arguing with Redanian soldiers who refuse to let them head for Novigrad. Geralt can side with the soldier or ask him to let them through. If he asks, he can pay 100 crowns, use Axii, threaten the soldier and fight all three, or simply walk away.

If Geralt gets the refugees through, one of them thanks him with a tip: a hero’s tomb near Downwarren is said to hold treasure.
