The Witcher 3: Hidden Messages of the Nilfgaardian Kind walkthrough

The Hidden Messages of the Nilfgaardian Kind quest is an apt name in The Witcher 3 considering the conversation that triggers this quest is easily missed or ignored, and we can't blame you. Though, it is a quest worth doing if you like collecting loot.

If you miss the initial start of the quest, that's no bother, as we've explained exactly how to complete the Hidden Messages of the Nilfgaardian Kind in The Witcher 3 on this page.

The Witcher 3: Hidden Messages of the Nilfgaardian Kind walkthrough

The Hidden Messages of the Nilfgaardian Kind quest is supposed to trigger when you spot some sneaky agents hanging about in The Bits of The Witcher 3, and go to check out what they're doing. That said, most of us will miss or ignore this happening, instead first noticing the quest when the control-pad rumbles as we absent-mindedly walk over one of the key locations.

Wander around in The Bits, northeast of the Kingfisher Inn, and look around with your Witcher Senses for a loose brick near a wooden platform. Loot it to find a note; read it in your inventory to locate the next stash.

To find the next one, head down to the area between the docks and towards the south bank of the canal on the south side of the theatre. Cast about and you'll spot an arched brick tunnel. It's around here that you can find a second loose brick with the second stash. You can find also these in reverse order, as they each point at the other.

Having opened both stashes, you'll finally score a key. Follow your waypoint to the sewer entrance in the Gildorf area, and look for the quest chest in a side tunnel with a couple of bodies. Score!
