Complete Woe To The Vanquished Quest in The Witcher 2 to teach some soldiers a lesson for mistreating the villagers of La Valette Castle.
In The Witcher 2, Woe to the Vanquished quest, Geralt decides to teach some cocky soldiers a lesson for mistreating and abusing the inhabitants of a village they are conquering. This quest starts during the To the Temple quest when King Foltest asks you to find a way into the castle temple.
You can find the way through the village area inside the La Valette Castle. As you enter the village, you’ll see some soldiers crowding the villagers in an area, restricting them. From here, go left, and a cutscene will play where a woman runs out of her house crying for help.
At the same time, a soldier comes out of her house and shoots her dead. This enrages Geralt, starting the Woe To The Vanquished Quest in The Witcher 2. This quest has two tasks, and you can do either first.
