Novigrad Dreaming

Novigrad Dreaming is a short main quest in The Witcher 3 where Geralt goes to see Corinne Tilly, an oneiromancer who reads the future in dreams. Triss thinks Corinne can help find Ciri, but first Geralt has to wake her up, and the house she is sleeping in is haunted by a very mischievous little guest.

How to start Novigrad Dreaming

The quest follows Pyres of Novigrad. Go to the house southeast of Hierarch Square in Novigrad. It is a level 7 quest worth 100 XP.

The haunted house

The banker Rudolf de Jonkheer has just bought the house and is happy to let a witcher in to deal with whatever lives there. Inside, there is laughter and the patter of small feet. Upstairs, Corinne is under a sleeping spell, and a godling called Sarah stands over her. Corinne mumbles two clues in her sleep: the doll and the attic.

Follow Sarah’s little game: find the rag doll in the attic (blow the blocked doorway open with Aard), put it in the crib in the room next to Corinne’s, examine the drawing on the door that slams shut, and finally go down to the oven in the cellar. There, Sarah shows herself. She was just having fun, she sees the house as her home, and she wanted the banker gone.

Let Sarah stay or drive her out

  • Make a deal: Sarah wakes Corinne up and stays. Rudolf ends up selling the house, which opens the side quest Haunted House.
  • Banish her: get burdock from the herbalist across the canal, put it in the oven and light it with Igni. Sarah grumbles and leaves.

Corinne’s dream

Corinne asks Geralt to meet her at the Golden Sturgeon. There, she asks him a series of questions about Ciri, and you can learn a lot about their bond through the answers. Her vision shows a swallow, an explosion and a familiar bard: Dandelion. As it happens, he has inherited a brothel, the Rosemary and Thyme, which is where Broken Flowers begins.

Tips

  • Rudolf asks you to come back in a week or so for a share of the sale, whatever you decide about Sarah.
  • The weakened wall in the cellar is not needed for this quest.

Walkthrough

  1. Go to the house southeast of Hierarch Square and talk to Rudolf de Jonkheer outside.
  2. Go upstairs and find Corinne asleep with the godling Sarah next to her.
  3. Open the attic door opposite the bed, climb up and blast the blocked doorway with Aard. Take the rag doll and look at the drawing of a crib.
  4. Put the doll in the cradle in the room next to Corinne’s.
  5. Examine the drawing on the door that slams shut.
  6. Go down through the trapdoor next to the stairs to the cellar and examine the oven to meet Sarah.
  7. Make a deal with Sarah and let her stay, or buy burdock from the herbalist across the canal, place it in the oven and burn it with Igni.
  8. Talk to Corinne, then tell Rudolf what you like on the way out.
  9. Meet Corinne at the Golden Sturgeon and answer her questions about Ciri (100 XP).

Quest Consequences & Choices

Letting Sarah stay opens the side quest Haunted House. Banishing her with burdock ends her story here. Either way, Corinne’s vision points to Dandelion and the Rosemary and Thyme, starting Broken Flowers.
