King Radovid’s Flagship

King Radovid’s flagship is His Majesty’s Ship Oxenfurt-Tretogor, a long Redanian war galley built in Oxenfurt and counted among the finest military vessels in the Northern Kingdoms. She sits low in the water with rows of oars along her sides, a tall mast, banners in Redanian colors and a deck crowded with soldiers. Much of her cost was covered by donations from the noblewomen of the realm, which may explain why she looks considerably better dressed than her crew. During the Third Northern War, King Radovid V commands from her deck rather than from a palace, and she is the safest place in the North for a king who trusts nobody.

In The Witcher 3

When Geralt first meets the king, the galley is moored in Oxenfurt Harbor, heavily guarded, with two other ships tied up at the gangplanks beside her. Right after Geralt deals with Whoreson Junior, Redanian soldiers escort him aboard, and Radovid asks him to track down Philippa Eilhart, the sorceress he hates above all others. When Geralt comes back to report what he found in her hideout, he returns to the ship to hand over the crystal from her megascope, or at least his word. Visitors normally have to surrender their weapons before boarding.

Late in the story the ship is moored near the docks of Novigrad. In Reason of State, Dijkstra, Vernon Roche and Thaler need a way to lure Radovid off his galley. Armed with Vizimir II’s ring from Philippa, Geralt convinces the king that the sorceress is within reach, and Radovid leaves the safety of his ship for the bridge to Temple Isle, which turns out to be the last trip he takes.

Good to know

• If you fast travel away from Whoreson Junior’s hideout at the end of Get Junior instead of talking to Radovid’s men, the meeting on the ship and the quests that follow may not trigger.
• To unlock Reason of State you need to have searched Philippa’s hideout and found the polished crystal in Redania’s Most Wanted.
