Will Dijkstra Help at Kaer Morhen?

Dijkstra, the infamous and enigmatic alchemist, is a pivotal character in the world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Many players are curious about his involvement in the story, particularly at Kaer Morhen, the ancient stronghold of the Wild Hunt. Will Dijkstra help at Kaer Morhen? Let’s dive into the world of The Witcher to find out.

Does Dijkstra Help Geralt?

The short answer is no, Dijkstra will not help Geralt at Kaer Morhen. In fact, the only way to gain any assistance from him is to retrieve his treasure, which requires Geralt to participate in a rather…morally questionable activity. Let’s just say it involves Triss Merigold’s torture. Yeah, it’s not pretty.

The Quests and Requirements

To receive Dijkstra’s assistance, Geralt must complete several side quests:

• Retrieve Dijkstra’s treasure: This requires Geralt to participate in Triss Merigold’s torture. Yeah, it’s as uncomfortable as it sounds.
• Ask Menge about the treasure: Menge, a character who can provide information about Dijkstra’s treasure, is only willing to talk if Geralt asks him about either the treasure or Dandelion, not both. So, Geralt must choose which path to take.

What if Geralt Doesn’t Get the Treasure?

If Geralt decides not to retrieve Dijkstra’s treasure, he won’t have the opportunity to ask for his help. Dijkstra will not provide any assistance, and the player will miss out on a substantial amount of gold (1000 crowns, to be exact).

Fighting the Witch Hunters

Another important consideration is fighting the witch hunters. Radovid’s decision to go after the witchers and their involvement in the mutiny at Kaer Morhen sets off a chain of events that affects Dijkstra’s role in the story.

Dijkstra’s Role in the Main Quest

In the main quest, Dijkstra appears as a potential opponent during the "Reason of State" quest. However, his role is not necessarily as an ally or opponent, but rather as a catalyst for the events that unfold.

In Summary

In conclusion, Dijkstra will not help at Kaer Morhen unless Geralt retrieves his treasure. The player must participate in Triss Merigold’s torture to obtain the treasure and ask Menge about it. If Geralt chooses not to do so, Dijkstra will not provide any assistance, and the player will miss out on a substantial amount of gold.
