The quest in one of the best RPGs of all time, The Witcher 3 of Novigrad’s Gang is part of the Hunt for the Youngest main quest. The difficulties in completing it are explained by the ability to fail the mission in several ways with the upcoming choice of actions. To do everything right, you need to have a guide at hand where a complete walkthrough with tips is recorded.
Where does the task come from?
The mission starts in “The Witcher 3” of “Gangs of Novigrad” during the passage of the main storyline. It all starts with the fact that Geralt is looking for his old friend minstrel, Buttercup, who got in touch with street gangs. In order to get on his trail, you have to enlist the support of Sigi Royven. When the main character comes to him, the guard will direct the White Wolf to the steam room. There it will be possible to get acquainted with Sigismund Diykstroy, Tesak and another member of the intelligence - Bedlam. A few moments later, criminals from the Bastard the Younger group break into the bathhouse, and a fight begins.
First steps
After Geralt destroys all the attacking people in the steam room with an ordinary club, Tesak will come up to him and offer to go to the places of income of the leader of the thieves' group. So the mission of the “Novigrad Gang” in “The Witcher 3” will begin with a not too long passage. At the same time, Dijkstra will advise you not to mess with Tesak and do everything yourself. Intelligence chief Redanya talks about the casino, the arena and the home of the Younger. It is in these three places that the White Wolf will have to visit. First, go to the base of Tesak in order to adjust your actions.
The first goal will be the building of a casino, which brings huge income to the whole gang. Enter there and deal with all enemies. Make a mess in order to leave a sign that the Younger is hunting. Go to the second floor, where you can find in captivity a bash by the name of Reno. Talk to him, and he admits to spying on Bedlam. It will also provide information that the Bastard the Younger has the support of the Redans, and therefore acts so openly.
Additional reward and continued
Due to the fact that on the instructions of the “Novigrad Gang” in “The Witcher 3”, the user releases the captive in the casino, the additional quest “Thieves Honor” will begin. For its implementation, it is enough to pay a visit to the King of the Beggars, and he will issue a reward. Now go to the arena, where there are two paths. You can simply start a pogrom with the fighters of Tesak and kill all the fighters with rulers. Or quietly approach the non-player character Igor and show a desire to work for his boss. Next, a check will begin in the form of several battles. After the victory, the Younger himself will appear and orders to kill Geralt. A mass brawl will begin, where all the henchmen from the Bastard gang will have to be killed. You can go through this episode in any of two ways, there is no difference. In any case, you have to fight with all the fighters present. To save time, it is better to take Tesak’s subordinates with you and immediately start the massacre. Remember to save, as a fight with many people can be fatal.
Unexpected information
In the arena in the quest “The Gangs of Novigrad” in “The Witcher 3”, passing further involves a descent to the lower floors. To do this, search Igor’s corpse and pick up the key with a note. Go down to the basement and activate your witch's vision to see a hidden secret door. After it there is a switch that activates the desired mechanism. Behind the wall there will be a chest where a considerable amount of coins lies. Take it as a reward and read the note, which you will find there. From it, Geralt learns that the Bastard the Younger conducts his illegal actions openly, since he is supported by King Radovid himself. This information will be very interesting for the head of intelligence Redanya Sigismund Dijkstra. You should not run to him right away, because you need to get the task with the Younger to the end. Dijkstra still will not say anything about this, but will only send the White Wolf to intelligence commander Temeria Vernon Rocher - old acquaintance of Geralt.
End of quest
If the user is concerned about the consequences of The Novigrad’s Gang in The Witcher 3 in the mission, then we can immediately say that there will be no influence on the main storyline. For the final completion of the mission, it’s worth immediately after the arena to head to the house of the head of the criminal group. On the spot, you will find that the red people have already worked here and there is a complete mess in the room. After marking the study, return to Tesak. He will note the witcher's impressive abilities, and Geralt will also gain authority among the grunts of his gang. Users replay this task many times, as they are looking for a way to find shelter for the Bastard the Younger in it. In fact, it is impossible to do this, since the entire mission is aimed at obtaining information about the criminal's relationship with King Radovid. Also, from the list of shelters it will be possible to delete all three premises associated with the Younger. Passing in The Witcher 3 (Gangs of Novigrad) with or without Tesak will allow you to return to the passage of the main story. Talk to Diykstroy and he will direct the player to the right place.
Failure possibilities
The task in the game The Witcher 3 of Novigrad’s Gang may fail in several cases. The first of these will be the killing of Geralt's comrades in the arena, whom Tesak sent to help. It will be rather difficult to save their life, as there are many enemies to kill. In any case, you can go through this part in a different way. Another way to fail the task is to complete the passage. If, after the arena, immediately run to Dijkstra and report on the connection of Radovid with the Bastard the Younger, then he will send the witcher to Vernon Rocher. When talking with the intelligence commander of Temeria, a new task will begin, and the “Novigrad Gang” will continue to fail. That is why all users should first go to the casino, arena and house, and then go to Dijkstra in order to continue the main plot. To find refuge in the Younger in the future will help Radovid himself, who will turn out to be not quite a healthy person, judging by the conversation with him.
General notes
From the very beginning, you can consider the proposals of Tesak on the quest in The Witcher 3 of The Gang of Novigrad. This option does not lead to anything, because a walk in the casino and the arena will have to. If you choose actions with helpers, you will have to monitor their level of health and not let them die. It is also worth noting that completing the task is not at all mandatory, and failure will lead to nothing. The main thing here is to get information about the connection between the Bastard the Younger and Radovid in order to continue the main story. It’s better to visit the house of the wanted criminal after the arena. It takes an extra couple of minutes, and full implementation will give the necessary experience in the future. The passage of the task is made in the spirit of the whole game: classic variations of choice, several options for action, which creates the illusion of complete freedom for the user.
