Battle Relics is a Chapter 2 quest in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. To join the endless fight of the Kaedweni and Aedirnian ghosts and lift the curse from the battlefield, Geralt must collect four items tied to the fighting of three years earlier: the standard of the Dun Banner, the chainmail of Seltkirk, the sword of Vandergrift and a medallion.
The quest exists on both paths of the chapter, but several relics are obtained differently. On the Kaedwen path (Vernon Roche), Geralt takes the chainmail from the conspirator Vinson Traut, receives the medallion from the sorcerer Dethmold after helping find the assassins threatening Henselt, and crosses the wraiths’ mist to get the sword from Saskia the Dragonslayer in person. On the Aedirn path (Iorveth), Philippa Eilhart obtains both the chainmail and the medallion, and Saskia gives Geralt the sword after he helps her recover from poisoning.
On either path, the standard lies in a crypt beyond the mist, guarded by the ghost of the unit’s standard bearer. With all four relics gathered, Geralt enters the battle of the wraiths and lifts the curse.
