Changes: Force Recon

Revision as of 21:14, 6 November 2019

Force Recon is a Chapter II quest which culminates in a battle (at the Golem burial ground) between Scoia'tael and Flaming Rose forces. Each side wants the other exterminated and Geralt must decide if and with who he wants to get involved.

Walkthrough

There are essentially three choices here, and the third will leave the quest unfinished. Either:

Speak with Siegfried near the Druids' grove and side with him - four Order scouts will join you for the mission or
Speak with Yaevinn in the Scoia'tael camp and side with him - three elves and two dwarves will join you for the mission or
Refuse one or both requests / avoid both conversations - you won't get combat XP, but maintain a neutral path.

If you chose the first or second options, proceed to the Golem burial ground and be ready for a fight.

Consequences

Order path: If you choose to side with The Order without first delivering Golan Vivaldi's response to Yaevinn (for the quest Worth its Weight in Gold), that quest will fail.
Scoia'tael path: Whether or not you have the response from Vivaldi, you can get Force Recon from Yaevinn.
If this quest is avoided, the Order will win the battle by default.
This quest is a trigger for both the Armorer of the Order and the dwarven blacksmith. Choosing one side will cause that side to start accepting business from Geralt and the other to refuse to do business with Geralt until another trigger condition is met. If you ignored this quest, both conditions should be reset and you can trade with either of them again.

-'''Force Recon''' is a quest which concerns a questionable encounter in the [[Golem burial ground]] between the [[Scoia'tael]] and the [[Order of the Flaming Rose]] in Act II. Each side wants the other exterminated and Geralt must decide if he wants to get involved, and if he does, with whom he should side.
 == Walkthrough ==
+There are essentially three choices here, and the third will leave the quest unfinished. Either:
-[[Image:People Yaevinn vs Siegfried.png|right|300px|Yaevinn or Siegfried?]]
+# Speak with [[Siegfried of Denesle|Siegfried]] near the [[Druids' grove]] and side with him - four Order scouts will join you for the mission '''''or'''''
-This quest can happen in one of three ways (well, two, really, if you want to complete it). Either you talk to [[Siegfried]] near the [[Druids' grove]] to side with the [[Order of the Flaming Rose]], or with [[Yaevinn]] in the [[scoia'tael]] camp near the [[Mage's tower]]. You have to choose one side to complete the quest. Alternately, you can agree to work with neither side, and forgo a bit of  experience, but remain neutral.
+# Speak with [[Yaevinn]] in the [[Scoia'tael]] camp and side with him - three elves and two dwarves will join you for the mission '''''or'''''
+# Refuse one or both requests / avoid both conversations - you won't get combat XP, but maintain a [[neutral path]].
+If you chose the first or second options, proceed to the [[Golem burial ground]] and be ready for a fight.
-If you decide to take the quest (and get the experience points), then go speak to whichever representative you've decided to go with and get the quest. Whichever one you choose will assign you a little "posse" of their own ranks to help you out (but they really aren't much, if any, help at all and just wind up dead). Yaevinn assigns you three elves and two dwarves. Siegfried assigns you four Order scouts.
+== Consequences ==
-Proceed to the [[Golem burial ground|Golem cemetery]] and get ready for a fight. Kill everyone unfriendly NPC in sight, pick up whatever loot you can (or want) and then speak to any of your posse who have survived. They'll tell you to go back and speak to whomever sent you. If they all perished, just do that anyway without being told. Siegfried or Yaevinn will be grateful for your help and will reward you accordingly.
+* '''[[The Witcher storyline|Order path]]''': If you choose to side with The Order without first delivering [[Golan Vivaldi]]'s response to [[Yaevinn]] (for the quest [[Worth its Weight in Gold]]), that quest will fail.
+* '''[[The Witcher storyline|Scoia'tael path]]''': Whether or not you have the response from Vivaldi, you can get '''Force Recon''' from Yaevinn.
-== Notes ==
+* If this quest is avoided, the Order will win the battle by default.
-* '''[[Storyline#Paths|Order path]]''': If you choose to side with The Order without first delivering [[Golan Vivaldi]]'s response to [[Yaevinn]] (for the quest [[Worth it's Weight in Gold]]), that quest will fail
+* This quest is a trigger for both the [[Armorer of the Order]] and the [[Dwarven blacksmith shop|dwarven blacksmith]]. Choosing one side will cause that side to start accepting business from Geralt and the other to refuse to do business with Geralt until another trigger condition is met. If you ignored this quest, both conditions should be reset and you can trade with either of them again.
-* '''[[Storyline#Paths|Scoia'tael path]]''': Whether or not you have the response from Vivaldi, you can get the quest from Yaevinn
-* Your choice here will have significant impact on Act IV's [[Free Elves]] quest.  Both [[White Rayla]] and [[Toruviel]]s' attitudes toward [[Geralt]] will hinge on whichever side you choose to fight with here.
-* If you choose to ignore this quest, the pre-determined outcome is that the Order will win.
-* This quest is a trigger for both the Order armorer and the dwarven blacksmith. Choosing one side will cause that side to start accepting business from Geralt and the other to refuse to do business with Geralt until another trigger condition is met.  If you ignored this quest, both conditions would be reset and you can trade with either of them again.
