A Greedy God is a Secondary Quest in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. Secondary Quests are optional Quests not required to finish the game. Some of these quests may have a bearing on certain Main Quests or may be a consequence of another Quest.
A Greedy God can be obtained by speaking to Dagmar marked with a yellow exclamation mark in the ruins south of the Wastrel Manor in Velen. This quest can only be completed after obtaining The Eye of Nehaleni in Wandering in the Dark. The peasants talk to Geralt about their concerns on the lack of offerings they have for their deity, the Allgod.
In the backwoods of Velen Geralt came across an altar, and next to it - two troubled villagers. When asked the source of their worries, the peasants told Geralt the deity they worshipped - the awe-inspiring Allgod - had rejected the offerings they had brought him. The witcher was not a particularly gods-fearing individual, yet nevertheless promised that he'd intercede for the peasants with their deity.

Walkthrough for The Witcher 3 A Greedy God
Interact with the two peasants and they'll explain they were planning on making an offering to Allgod. Approach the statue and talk to the one who claims himself as the "deity" then use your witcher senses and you'll find a crack in the wall and a bottle nearby. Follow the trail and it will lead you behind a wall with some rubble that's just an illusion then use the Eye of Nehaleni to reveal the hidden cellar.
Go downstairs and find the Allgod, you will find a sylvan who's gotten fat by proclaiming himself a deity so that the villagers will keep feeding him their offerings. You will have three choices here:
- Kill him.
- Convince him to take the offerings.
- Don't bargain at all.
Regardless of your choice, you will get 25 XP and let the peasants know what happened.
If you choose to kill the Allgod, the peasants will get upset despite explaining that it was a common monster. You will then earn 50 XP.
If you choose to convince him, the peasants will resign to emptying out their food in storage and will give you 50 XP as well.
If you didn't bargain at all, the peasants will be grateful and you will earn 50 XP as well as 50 Crowns.

Part 4 of the decision outcomes is simply not true!
I've done this mission 2 times and both times I chose to tell the peasants about the cave. Not once have I later found their bodies, tho twice I've seen the entrance to the cave filled up with bricks.
The meaning of this is pretty obvious, since the Sylvan would have no reason to close the entance for good in the first place and also could have just done it with an illusion, as he already did before.
It is however quite likely, that the peasants would not have been too amused after finding out about the "monster" (definitely in their eyes) that has eaten all their food for years and therefore trapped it/him inside his own cave to let him starve (ironicly fitting end).
