Triss Merigold House

Triss Merigold’s house is a tall, three-storey townhouse just off Hierarch Square, reached through a wooden gate on the south side of the square and a small courtyard. Once it was the comfortable home of a successful sorceress. Now it is a sad sight: doors left open, chests rifled, belongings scattered across the floors, and the courtyard picked over by looters. The Temple Guard has confiscated the property, but that has not stopped anyone from helping themselves.

Triss was one of many mages living around the square before the witch hunts. When the hunts began in Novigrad she fled to a crooked hideout in The Bits, leaving most of her valuables behind.

In The Witcher 3

This is Geralt’s first stop in Pyres of Novigrad. Two looters in the courtyard tell him that if Triss escaped, she probably went to the Putrid Grove to ask the King of Beggars, Francis Bedlam, for help. Then Caleb Menge walks in, has the looters arrested for stealing Temple Guard property, and makes it very clear that he would love an excuse to burn a witcher too.

Inside, Geralt can piece together a little of Triss’s life: herbs and a hairbrush on the first floor, amulets on the second and her clothes on the third.

Good to know

Do not leave without the Rose of Remembrance on the top floor, and check the chests outside, which can hold random diagrams. Hierarch Square is the nearest signpost. Triss’s later hiding place is the setting of A Matter of Life and Death.
