Dershan kidnapped Lena and now I cannot find them, and the map tracking does not show anything.  There is a guard outside the house of Lena, but nobody is inside -- when they kidnapped her, I saw a teleport for a second but it disappeared.  Nobody is home in the estate of Dershan.  I went to the underwater fort, but there is nothing new there (same two people I already talked to, one of whom I lied for and said he escaped down-river so he could have a second chance in life) -- I sold his ring to the jeweler in the tavern.  I have only 1500 orens and do not know how to rebuild the bridge unless I play poker for about two days (real time) earning about 25 orens per game (I already won the 800 orens for the poker tornament, and now I can only play with the referee).  I have no open contracts -- I already got the giant echinopolis, and the wraiths in the woods / ruins.

It's been a while since I played Deceits so my memory is hazy. All I remember is Lena telling Geralt to come after midnight since Dershan's thug was watching her. Is that when she gets kidnapped?

I think you have to kill Dershan's thugs before you enter his house. Also it has a basement accessed through a trapdoor; look for it. And when you do face Dershan

He summons a wraith/demon creature that does a lot of damage but has limited hit points. Drink all your potions, save game and use Igni+steel. Use Quen and run a lot to heal.

You don't actually need to finish that quest, though. Just make 3000 orens somehow and leave if you like(even that's a little hilarious, seeing what you pay for).

More help please.  I have loaded the game at midnight and enter Lena's house and there is only one guard who says he has been waiting to ambush me.  When I kill him, there is nothing else to see inside of Lena's house.  I do not see any trap door there.  When I go back to Dershan's estate after killing the first guard in Lena's house, the guard at the gate of Dershan's house just tells me to bugger off without giving me the ability to fight him (i.e., he is green, not red).  When I go into Dershan's estate, I think I see the trap door on the floor in the second room near the bed, and there are a couple of mirrors and a candelabra, but there is no way to open the trap door that I can see.  How do I open the trap door and find Lena and Dershan?  Thanks.  I have to finish this game, it is driving me crazy and I can't go on to the next adventure until this is done.

[thelazyreader]

Just try clicking on the door. Maybe it's just not highlighted.

I am in front of the trap door, but clicking on the door does not open it.  I tried saying open sesame out load while facing my computer screen, but it had no effect.  One of the gaurds was killed inside Lena's house at midnight, but the other one just moves back and forth between Lena's house and Dershan's estate depending upon whether it is night or day.  I tried daytime to open the trapdoor in Dershan's estate, and I tried night-time.  I wonder if it is just me, or perhaps my europe version upgraded to 1.5 is broken somehow.  Any other suggestions?  Click my heels together three times and say "there is no place like home".  Thanks.

lol You sound desperate ;D. Looks like you've got a bug. Most of the community adventures have a few, since their creators don't have the time or manpower to polish their product as well as CDP did. Try loading an earlier game. If you can't complete it and are desperate to know what happens,

Not much considering it's a small mod. You already finished most of it.
a)You enter the basement and confront Dershan, who turns out to be a mage. There's a book there which explains earlier girl's murder(sacrificed to a demon).
b)HDersha summons the demon and leaves it with Geralt and Lena. After killing the demon Geralt climbs out of the basement and finishes Dershan. He gets lots of orens and a fancy new sword.
c)Pay off the bridge builder and leave.

So don't be too sad about it. Get gold by using the 1.5 promo trainer and end the Adventure. After that Play Wraiths of Quiet Hamlet: It has a similar setting but is mostly bug-free and (IMO) a better story.

Thank you very much for the input.  I'll try again tonight after work.  Your help was greatly appreciated.

What should happen is this:

Lech is waiting outside Lena's house.  Don't attack him there (perhaps that's what you did wrong?)... shortly after midnight, he walks away from the house, back towards Dershan's estate.

After Lech walks away, enter the house and walk over towards the wardrobe to the right.  It'll mention something about a teleport, for some unknown reason... and then both of the henchmen will come into the house to ambush you.

After you kill both of them, leave the house and head over to Dershan's place... and you should be able to go down the trap door.

Thank you -- I'll try that and let you know -- but I may need to wait until tomorrow -- it's been a long day.  Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you ... thank you ... thank you !!!!  I finished Deceits and opened the trapdoor.  I had to go back in time to a place before I got the ring from Roven and before I killed the megaehinopolis, and first kill the two guards in Lena's house at midnight and then go straight to Dershan's place.  For some strange reason, previously the two guards kicked my ass the first time around and I went and did other stuff, and then when I came back the two gaurds had separated and there was only one inside already there when I opened the door -- instead of me going in first before anyone and then the two busting in to kill me.  I think the trapdoor could not open because one of the gaurds was left alive outside and there was no way to kill him because he always told me to bugger off.  Well, I finished the story and that means I can move on the the third extra adventure.  I hate abandoning a project that was not completed, and I am so happy this group of Witchers community forum helped me finish the project.

[clhannah]

I have lit three sets of bones on fire.  Is there a fourth? Something else to do?  Did I screw up by taking too long?

[clhannah]

well -- after 5 tries and 3-4 hours I discovered how stupid I am.  RTFJ (Journal) *grins*.  Now if I could just find Kaligor to finish this thing off.

[game widow]

The journal is your friend -- MUCH more useful than Dandelion! :D

Greetings people!

I am new to the forum so I apologize if I placed this question in wrong forum :S

I wanted to ask...I have a technical issue of unknown nature...the side adventures (those beside the main game) are running smoothly and stuff but the thing is there is no sound in dialog...I mean that characters don't produce sound when talking but everything else including music and sound effects run smoothly. (The main game doesn't have that issue) so I wanted to know can I fix it? And If the answer is positive then how?

Many thanks!!

[Darksavior]

Hello and welcome to the forums  :)

If the adventures you are playing are the ones included with the patch 1.5, then there is no voice overs for those adventures.  It means you will have music, ambient sounds.  The only sounds that would be missing is character dialog.  The adventures from 1.5 are: Deceits, Blight of the Bogs, Wraiths of Quiet Hamlet, Merry Witchmas, and the Wedding.

If you are playing either Side Effects or Price of Neutrality, then there should be sound to the character's dialog.  I'm sure someone with more reputable computer experience than I would be along to help you with that problem.  However, it sounds like you are playing one of the adventures from 1.5.

[Exon Valnor]

Yes,I am playing the 1.5 version that came in Enhanced Edition.

I though I can probably download the sound somewhere or something...thanks for your help anyway! Oh and thanks for welcome!

[Exon Valnor]

You're right! I haven't though about it that way...thanks!

Hi All,
I am on the Wraiths of the Quiet Hamlet and can't seem to progress.

I managed to talk to the wraith in the hamlet and now my journal says something about Echinopses grow where dead bodies are. I've been in the field where the echinopses grow both day and night and can't find any clue to get me further.

I've also talked to everyone until there are no more options and they keep repeating themselves. So, ...........

I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious but I really can't figure out what to do next.   :whatthe:

[Slywink]

Regarding the Wraiths of the Quiet Hamlet.....

I'm much like the other individual covered all the places, talked to everyone and tried to kill all plants both in day and night. Just can't seem
to get and answer or make headway. At one point near ruins I killed a Plant and he stayed dead but came back in time. Could use some hints or a direction.
Thanks for any help in advance'
