Hope Burns Bright is a main quest in Act V of The Witcher and the chapter’s framing quest for players who sided with the Scoia’tael, set in a burning Old Vizima. Geralt meets Zoltan on the Dike, who tells him Shani has set up a field hospital in Old Vizima. Getting there means cutting through the Order’s soldiers, and on the way Geralt ends up saving King Foltest from an assassination attempt. Foltest then hands him two jobs: lift the striga curse from his daughter and finish off the Salamandra.
The heart of the quest is helping Zoltan escort two groups of refugees to Shani’s hospital through streets full of fighting, then defending the hospital from the Order’s knights. Geralt also links up with Toruviel’s commando, and the quest ends with an assault on the Order’s barricade while Yaevinn puts his plan into action.
