Spellbreaker Achievement in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

  • Spellbreaker

     

    15

    Help Iorveth find the dagger needed to free Saskia from the spell that holds her.

  • How to unlock Spellbreaker

    Obviously, this achievement can only be obtained on Iorveth's path during Chapter III. When you are given the choice to rescue Phillipa or Triss Merigold during the quest "The Spellbreaker", you must choose to rescue Phillipa. You will have to help Iorveth escort her through the sewers, defeating Rottfiends along the way, to the top of the tower which contains the chest holding the dagger. You will have to face a Draug mini-boss battle, but fear not as it is not nearly as hard as what you're expecting. Quen and place Yrden when you need to, hitting the mini-boss when you get the chance, and you will take the mini-boss down very quickly.

    The achievement will unlock upon finishing the quest completely, so don't freak out if it doesn't unlock right away upon obtaining the dagger.

  • ***SPOILER*** Interestingly, I found this item next to a wounded Iorveth after choosing to save Triss instead of helping him...combined with the choice you make during the Dragon battle I really can't wait for The Witcher 3.
  • so do u have to side with lorveth and if so in what chapter do u do this? please help i been through the whole game and never seen this opportunity.
  • You need to be on Iorveth's side and have chosen to save Phillipa instead of Triss to get this acheivement. Follow this quest guide to get the details. http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/The_Spellbreaker
  • Problem is the witcher 3 is going to be on next gen consoles so your choices are going to mean nothing as you've got no way of letting the next game know. This has really disappointed me, knowing that the ending was so open but my choices will never come into play again
  • Does anyone have a savegame for just before this achievement that they could post somewhere? The only one I've managed to get hold of so far crashes before I can get the achievement... every time... and I really don't have the patience to play all the way through this awful game again just to get this one remaining stupid achievement.
