By the King's Will is a quest in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.

Walkthrough

After leaving your tent following a brief conversation with Triss, be on the lookout for crafting materials and herbs along the sides of the path as you head to meet the king. You can also earn a few orens by reminding the soldier standing at the bottom of the nearby hill that he owes you money.

Stopping by the exercise yard you will find more crafting mats and a few training dummies you can take down for some XP. Also in the yard here is your first chance to try out two of the minigames, arm wrestling and dice poker.

Continuing on, you will find the King near the artillery on a nearby hill. Template:Spoiler When you aim the ballista the correct angle is 1.5 degrees. Despite Foltest's instructions aim for the individual on the right.

Journal Entry

Ever since Geralt saved Foltest's life, the king had been fond of keeping his favorite witcher close by his side. Thus, when the monarch laid siege to the walled town and castle of the mutinous Baroness La Valette, Geralt found himself whiling the days away a few tents down from the king's own, in the company of Triss Merigold — a sorceress, the witcher's lover, and Foltest's royal advisor. These were pleasant moments, despite the mild restlessness that plagued our hero. Finally, on the day of the assault, he was summoned before His Royal Majesty. And that is how his troubles began.
At that time, King Foltest was playing host to Shilard Fitz-Oesterlen, the Empire of Nilfgaard's senior emissary. The monarch and envoy were conferring when Geralt arrived as the hour of the assault drew near. The confident king and the witcher — making the best of a tense situation — moved to join the king's forces in the siege tower.
Propelled by the soldiers' mighty shoulders, the siege tower rolled towards victory. Green recruits shat themselves, veterans drank deeply from tightly clasped flasks, Foltest boasted and roused his troops, while Geralt struggled with a sense of foreboding.
