Walkthrough for The Witcher 3 Suspicious Shakedown

When you're in Novigrad, go behind the house north of Rosemary and Thyme, almost directly north of the Gate of the Hierarch signpost leading to an alley. There you will find some bandits harassing a merchant behind the door. Interact with them and the bandits will try to get you to leave. You can choose "at least I tried." and you will leave the scene, the bandits will continue harassing the merchant and take his money, then eventually let him go. If you choose this, once the merchant returns to his store. he'll refuse to do business with you in the future.

If you choose to protect the merchant, you will have two options:

• Threaten the bandits which will result in a fight.
• Use Axii which requires Delusion level 1. This will give you 30 XP.

As long as you help the merchant get rid of the bandits, the merchant will thank you and he will head back home, concluding the quest.

You can find him later at his shop in Silverton, depending on whether you left him with the bandits or helped him, he will refuse to do business with you if you chose the former, and he will be glad to see you if you chose the latter, he will also give you a small discount when you visit him in his store as his thanks.
