Faith Symbolized

Faith Symbolized is a Chapter 2 side quest in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings on the Roche path, set in King Henselt’s Kaedweni camp. It is one of the hunts for objects embodying the essence of war, which Geralt needs in The Eternal Battle to free the wraiths of Kaedweni and Aedirnian soldiers from their endless fight.

Zyvik, a veteran of the Battle of Brenna, tells Geralt about a priest whose medallion shielded him from a rain of fire. Henselt took that medallion for himself, and he is not parting with it while he is still cursed. So the road to the symbol of faith runs through The Blood Curse, a drink in the king’s tent and an assassination attempt by two witchers from the School of the Viper. Only after Dethmold has squeezed some answers out of the dead assassin does the medallion finally change hands.

Walkthrough

Ask Zyvik about his part in the Battle of Brenna and about magical artifacts; he mentions the priest’s medallion Henselt took.
Visit Dethmold at his residence. He says the king will not give up the medallion until his curse is lifted (do not try to talk Henselt into it).
Complete The Blood Curse.
Go back to Sabrina’s pyre; Henselt invites you for a drink in his tent.
Enter Henselt’s tent after sundown (23:00) and listen to the Redanian messenger.
When the assassin strikes, fight Auckes and Serrit outside the tent. Keep Quen up and use Yrden traps; their combos hit very hard.
Meet Dethmold in the medical tent while he questions the dead assassin.
Return to Dethmold’s residence to receive the medallion.
