Hung Over

Walkthrough
After drinking with the Blue Stripes, Geralt finds himself hungover and naked in Flotsam Harbor with a tattoo on his neck. He is approached by a local who, after a bribe or successful intimidation check, will direct him to the Madame of Flotsam's Brothel. She will then, after another bribe, tell Geralt to see 'the girl in the Blue Stripes'.

Ves is found in the Blue Stripes lodging next to the tavern. After discussing the events of the night before, including the several attempts at crossing the river atop prostitutes and story behind the tattoo, Ves directs Geralt to a chest where his possessions are held.

When talking to Triss Merigold in the Tavern, she'll laugh at Geralt's expense and tell him that she can remove the tattoo with the following:


 * White myrtle petals
 * Green mold
 * Wolf's aloe

All of the ingredients can be purchased just outside of Flotsam, in Lobinden from Anezka.

There is no dialogue to remove the tattoo after the ingredients are collected, however by repeating the dialogue option "Do you know how to remove a Tattoo?", Geralt will say that he has the items Triss needs. The option will then be given to remove it or keep it. It will immediately disappear upon selection.

The collection is a hidden quest and will not be displayed in the journal. The tattoo removal may also completed with the same ingredients in Chapter 2 by giving the items to Síle de Tansarville.

Journal Entry

 * You may remember that Geralt decided to have a friendly drink with Roche's men. He awoke later on with a monstrous hangover and a nagging feeling that he had done something he should not have. He decided to learn the truth and questioned the madame.


 * Well, the get-together had gone so well that virtually all its participants had lost touch with reality. Only Ves had remained lucid and tried to rein in her friends and the witcher. To no avail. Geralt went to speak to the young woman.


 * So, what had happened? Believe it or not, in a drunken stupor, the witcher had his neck tattooed. From that raucous evening onward, he was forever to wear the brand of the Blue Stripes.
