The Witcher 3 Sidequest - A Matter Of Life And Death
A Matter Of Life And Death
Recommended Level: 12
Location/ Obtained From: Triss, in her Novigrad hideout
Objective: Meet the Vegelbud's servant at the fishmarket. He's wearing a blue shirt and has keys hanging from his belt
After hearing about the situation from Triss, you'll need to scope out the people wearing blue at the nearby market. There are quite a few people wearing blue at the market, but if you examine their belts for keys, you'll find one at the South edge of the search circle next to the bridge who matches the description (the keys will be highlighted in red with witcher sense). Talk to him to trigger a scene.
Objective: Follow the Vegelbud's servant
And you're off. Trail after the servant after he crosses over the bridge... and immediately is set upon by three ruffians (apparently in the employ of witch hunters).
Objective: Help the servant fight off the bandits
Stab, slash, counterattack, blerg, dead. By this point in the game, dealing with basic human enemies should be second nature. After the scuffle, the servant will fill you in on all the details and Triss will agree to help the lady's son (eighty-five desserts notwithstanding). As usual with sorceresses, Geralt will instantly agree to follow along with her plans. But as it's a masquerade, Triss recommends he doesn't show up in his usual bloodied tattered armour.
Objective: Buy a mask to wear to the masquerade ball
Objective: Buy a fox mask for Triss Merigold
Optional Objective: Buy a new outfit. Doublet, trousers and boots
Time to pay another visit to Elihal (the cross dressing elvish tailor on the outskirts of Novigrad), for all these objectives. Buy the items you need (and the new outfit items if you like - or are trying to romance Triss),
Objective: Bring Triss the fox mask
Equip the new clothes in your inventory, return to Triss' lodgings, complement Triss on her dress and leave for the masquerade.
Objective: Meet Ingrid Vegelbud
After arriving at the grounds of the estate, follow the main walkway up the stairs until you reach the guards barring the way to the courtyard. After dealing with an acquaintance of Triss and a drunkard, you will make the acquaintence of Lady Vegelbud.
"It's me, the trout buyer." (Classic introductory line as you first meet the lady of the manor. Smooth Triss)
After organizing everything, you still need to find the errant son, so leave Lady Vegelbud to look for him.
Objective: Find Albert Vegelbud. He's wearing a panther mask.
The young Vegelbud can be found flirting with several ladies at the Southernmost search area. Talk to him to inform him of your intentions. Afterwards, you'll have some free time (while all the nobles get progressively more drunk) before you have to leave.
Objective: Wait on the bench with Triss Merigold
Objective: Find Triss Merigold in the labyrinth
Wander over to the marked bench and watch the scene play out, finding her in the maze and kissing Triss or not depending on which romantic partner you are aiming for.
Objective: Get out of the labyrinth
Follow the trail on the mini-map to make your way towards the maze's exit. As you get close, you'll be stopped by one of the ladies from earlier. And cue goons (how did they even get past the guards?).
Objective: Defeat the witch hunters
You'll engage the group in manly fisticuffs, but unlike some other fist-fights, you'll still have access to your signs and potions. So take advantage of quen or igni to make the fight much easier and heal up if you need to. Once the final hunter hits the deck, leave the maze while straightening your tunic with a dignified air.
Objective: Meet Triss and Albert in the stables
Head over to the nearby stables by following the marked trail to watch Triss escort the young man out of the estate as the fireworks burst overhead. And the quest is complete.
