Sweet Revenge

Sweet Revenge is the main quest of Act V in The Witcher, running from the Dike through the swamp cemetery to the Old Manor. Early in the act King Foltest gives Geralt his blessing to hunt down Azar Javed and finish Salamandra for good, and every clue points to the gang’s leader hiding near Old Vizima. (You can actually pick it up a little early, by telling Dandelion about Berengar’s letter at the end of Act IV.)

Kalkstein links a strange beast to Salamandra’s experiments with the stolen witcher secrets, and once the striga business is done Velerad passes on the king’s hint about the Old Manor. There Count de Wett admits working with Salamandra and has to be put down, the mutated Rayla must be killed, and a koshchey lurks in the catacombs. The trail ends in Azar Javed’s laboratory, where a mirror reveals who has been pulling the strings all along: the Grand Master of the Order of the Flaming Rose.

Walkthrough

  1. Arrive on the Dike at the start of Act V and meet the king, who approves your hunt for Azar Javed.
  2. Talk to Kalkstein about the monster and follow the trail into the swamp cemetery.
  3. After Her Highness the Striga, speak with Velerad, who points you to the Old Manor.
  4. At the Old Manor, confront Count de Wett, who admits working with Salamandra, and kill him.
  5. Fight through the manor and catacombs: Salamanders, mutated creatures, the mutated Rayla and the koshchey.
  6. Defeat Azar Javed in his laboratory; the steel sword in strong style plus the odd Igni works well, and expect to get knocked down a lot.
  7. Examine the mirror in the laboratory to learn the Grand Master is behind everything.
  8. Take the boat back to Vizima to end the quest and Act V.
