Head from the garrison and use the”Nilfgaardian Garrison” signpost to fast travel to the”Sawmill” signpost.
From here, head east over a mountain to find the herbalist’s house, which we are now able to input.
Unsurprisingly, there’s a fair amount of herbs to loot outside. Take what you wish, then head inside.
Speak to Tomira and inquire about her past to figure out that she studied under one Nenneke, until a boy-and a related summer of passion-ruined all that.
Next ask her around Claer, and the she will tell the story about what occurred there. Not anything we did not already know, yet to stop things from ending on a bad note, she provides us some goodies.
In case you haven’t already harvested it, you can even ask Tomira about the Buckthorn you are going to need to serve as bait for your Griffin.
| Objective | Reward |
| For asking Tomira about Claer | 10 XP Saltpeter x4 Berbercane Fruit x8 Hellebore Petals x8 Corinarius x6 |
Ask about the injured girl and she will confirm that she’s another casualty of the Griffin. The victim is terminal, and past the herbalist’s power… but maybe not beyond a Witcher’s potions.
The risks are severe, however, as… well, there is a reason the Witchers go through the training they perform.
Those mutations aren’t just to maximize their response times-it also allows them to resist their own potions. Offer to assist her and the herbalist will point out the obvious-she’s dead either way.
The options are between a simple death in the hands of the herbalist, an agonizing death under the effect of a Witcher’s potion, or possibly, a complete recovery.
Exit the conversation, then prepare a Swallow potion via your Alchemy menu. We should have more than sufficient ingredients for this by now.
After done, talk to Tomira again and again pick the option”Got a potion for Lena.” We won’t see the outcome, since the potion will take more time to affect a typical human, but the rewards are immediate.
Tomira decides she likes us, and decides to give us a reward. For giving a damn. It’s a fairly hefty reward, too.
Reading the book she gives you’ll update the bestiary having a entrance on Nightwraiths and Plague Maidens. Score.
| Objective | Reward |
| For giving a damn | 350 XP 50 Crowns Venom Extract x2 Manuscript Page: Cursed Oil Of Sweat and Blood |
Finally… as an herbalist, she possesses herbs. Wonderful, right? She also sells formulation for White Gull and Troll Decoction, in the event you need them.
Sadly, she won’t give us a good deal on herbs we want to sell, but she’ll cover 18 Crowns per Honeycomb.
If you were diligent about searching for it, sooner, you could have a couple dozen of these, which will solve our cash problems for a while… even if you have to rest a bit to get her to replenish her cash.
