Geralt Finds the Bootblack
Following “La Cage au Fou,” Geralt will be required to locate the bootblack in Beauclair Port. Geralt and Regis believe the young shoeshine is in contact with Detlef.
Remember!The bootblack is only available during working hours, 8:00AM - 8:00PM. Arriving to his location outside this window of time will require Geralt to meditate until morning (or complete other tasks).
Talking to the bootblack:
Searching Detlef’s Safehouse
Once Regis joins Geralt in his conversation with the bootblack, the boy will give up Detlef’s location. This leads the two sleuths to the next location: The Rocking Horse. While searching the old building, It becomes apparent that this former toy store was used by Detlef to plan the first murders. The area is filled with several toys, but the items with significance to the mission are as follows:
Each item will initiate a conversation with Regis, though how Geralt responds will have no bearing on the outcome of the mission. Once a lengthy conversation between Geralt and Regis ends, the quest will come to a close, leading directly into “Wine is Sacred.”
Warning!The secondary mission “Amidst the Mill’s Grist” is only available between “La Cage au Fou” and “Where Children Toil, Toys Waste Away.” If it is not completed before beginning “Where Children Toil, Toys Waste Away,” it will be considered a failed quest.
