The Ring



The Ring is an optional quest in Act III which Geralt can undertake when he meets a desperate merchant on the dike who is trying to retrieve a family heirloom from the corpse of his uncle in the swamp forest.

Walkthrough


There is a "desperate merchant" in the Vizima Dike after Act III has begun. Talk to him and he will ask you to retrieve a Family Ring. You can find the ring on a dead body in the swamp, directly behind the Shrine of Melitele (to the northwest) on a tiny bloedzuiger-infested island (+500xp). Return with the Family Ring, and you get 100 gold and 2000 XP.

Additionally, if you've already been to the swamp during Act III (not all that trudging around in Act II), you may well have the ring in your possession already, in which case you're done then and there.

The Ring
I promised to retrieve an ancestral ring belonging to the merchant I met at the dike. The ring was on his uncle's finger while said uncle was devoured by swamp monsters. I have to rent a boat from the ferryman and head for the swamps. I must go to the swamps and find the ring.

Additional Information
The uncle's body, and thus in all probability the ring as well, should lie next to Melitele's chapel in the swamps. I will find the missing ring in the swamp, near the shrine of Melitele.

Lost Property
I found the ancestral ring belonging to the merchant from the Dike. I should return it to him. I will meet him on the Dike. I should give the ring to my employer on the Dike.

Reward
I gave the ancestral ring to its owner and cashed in a 100 orens. I received my payment.
