Deadly Crossing
Type Secondary Quest

Reward 5 XP for paying the toll; Mourner and 52 XP for buying the sword

Deadly Crossing is a set of three secondary quests in Velen. At bridges and crossings across the war-torn land, bandits and looters wait for travelers. Some demand a toll, one group offers a sword for sale, and one attacks on sight.

Choices


At Troll Bridge, paying the toll lets Geralt cross in peace. Axii also talks the bandits into letting him pass. A fight leaves the bridge raised, so Geralt must lower it himself.

North of Lindenvale, the looters have found a relic sword called Mourner. Geralt can buy it for 525 crowns or walk away. He can also refuse and kill the looters to take the sword for free.

Notes


  • The looters turn hostile at once if Geralt comes near with a sword drawn.
  • The bandits west of Dragonslayer's Grotto belong to the Troll Bridge group. They never appear if the Troll Bridge crossing was dealt with more than a few days earlier.
