Open Sesame: Breaking and Entering

Breaking and Entering is one of three preparation tasks for the heist in Open Sesame!. The Stranger needs someone small and nimble to get into the auction house from above. He suggests two names, but only one of them is still alive.

How to start Open Sesame: Breaking and Entering

It starts when you agree to join the heist at the herbalist’s hut. The suggested level is 34 and it gives 150 XP, plus 150 XP for finding out what happened to Hugo Hoff.

Hugo Hoff

Hugo’s house in Oxenfurt has blood by the door. Follow the footprints to the river, deal with three thugs and loot a note and Hugo’s ear from their bodies. A dive into the river confirms that Hugo is dead.

Eveline Gallo

Eveline Gallo is at a circus camp west of the Vegelbud Residence and northwest of Carsten, arguing with her friend Meryn. A performer has dropped out and the troupe can’t refund the audience. Help them and she joins you. You can either step into the show and shoot four apples off Meryn with your crossbow, or pay the refunds yourself: 400 crowns if you talk to her privately, 600 crowns if Meryn stays.

Tips

  • Visit Hugo first for the extra XP. Eveline is the only one you can actually recruit.
  • Shooting the apples is free. Hitting Meryn instead doesn’t break anything.
  • Once the whole of Open Sesame! is done, look for the Concealment kit diagram in a chest under the stage stairs at Eveline’s camp.

Walkthrough

  1. Optional: go to Hugo Hoff’s house in Oxenfurt and examine the blood with your Witcher Senses.

  5. Hire Eveline for the heist (150 XP).
