Anezka
Anezka is the herbalist of Lobinden, near Flotsam, in Chapter I of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. She lives in the farthest house in the village and keeps her head down, because women who know their way around herbs and folk remedies are quickly suspected of witchcraft, and around Flotsam suspicion turns into hostility fast.
There is more to her caution than that. Anezka is also a priestess of Veyopatis, a god once worshipped in the region, and she would rather her neighbours did not look too closely at what she does.
In The Witcher 2
Her main role is in Melitele’s Heart. In the Prologue, Geralt is shown an amulet by Newboy, a young Crinfrid Reaver in Foltest’s camp outside La Valette Castle. In Chapter I he can bring it to Anezka, who reveals that it is cursed. She offers either to buy it or to restore it. Restoring it means gathering a set of monster ingredients and meeting her at midnight by the statue of Veyopatis in the forest, where Geralt has to protect her while she performs the ritual. The cleansed amulet becomes Melitele’s Heart.
She is also involved in Hung Over.
Good to know
- Anezka is a merchant: she sells alchemy formulas such as Rook, Golden Oriole and Tawny Owl, alchemical ingredients, and endrega teeth, which saves a lot of endrega hunting if you need them for crafting.
- Like the other Flotsam side quests, Melitele’s Heart has to be finished before Chapter I ends.
