Walkthrough for The Witcher 3 Burlap is the New Stripe
This quest begins in Toussaint Prison and may begin with some dialogue. Get through the dialogue to begin your objectives.
Once the conversation ends you can start with the laundry. This will lead you downstairs. Once you are down there, pick up the soap which will be on the floor just next to the table. Then pick up the two piles of dirty clothes in the baskets on the west side of the room. Put everything in the washtub. It'll be in the corner of the room. As soon as you have everything there, they will ask you to pick up the stick just next to the washtub. Then you'll start washing the clothes. A cutscene will begin before you will need to defeat you, opponents. Once the interaction is over, another cutscene will begin. Once you are released, you must follow the guard. Another cutscene will begin and you will need to follow the guard to the exit. Once the first gates open, retrieve your belongings from the chest to the left. The second gate will then open and you are free to exit the prison.
Finally, a cutscene will begin. From here, you can choose to investigate or not, which will give you a few additional objectives.
- Talk to the bootblack during the day.
- Find the shelter.
- Defeat the attackers.
Speak to the bootblack and make sure it is daytime. IF playing at night, meditate till it is day and you will be able to interact with the bootblack. A dialogue will begin before you can then locate the shelter nearby. Another cutscene will play out before you will be thrown into a fistfight combat encounter. Defeat the attackers and then another cutscene will begin. During the dialogue, you will be given another dialogue option which can give you another additional objective. When asked if you feel a duty to see the duchess and tell her what you just learned you can respond with either:
- Let's go drink.
- Need to inform Anna Henrietta
Choosing to inform her will give you the objective:
- Tell Anna Henrietta about your last contract.
This will begin the final cutscene for this quest. It is your choice whether you wish to inform her or not, but the duchess will remain in denial. Complete the dialogue. The quest will then be completed after the cutscene ends. This will also activate the main quest from the Blood and Wine DLC.
Burlap is the New Stripe Journals
Though at base she is known to have a heart of gold, Anarietta is also known to be highly impetuous. The smallest misdeed can at times bring a severe penalty, especially if she deems the transgression a personal offence. Believe me, I know.
Who knows what might have happened to the witcher had not our mutual friend Regis demonstrated such clarity of mind. He did the sole reasonable thing under the circumstances and sent for yours truly.
Immediately, and without hesitating for even a moment to think that my life, too, could be in danger, I mounted my steed and rode post haste to Toussaint. Luckily, I managed to convince Anarietta - that is to say, Her Illustrious Highness - to spare Geralt's life and restore his freedom.
The witcher, saved through my efforts, was reunited with Regis. The vampire awaited him at the prison gate only to draw him into another misadventure. For Regis had been unable to rid himself of the thought. Namely, he believed Syanna had planned five murders from the start. He was tormented and wished to know the identity of the fifth intended victim. He suggested to Geralt that they investigate the matter to its end.
If Geralt investigates the 5th letter:
They first sought out the bootblack. The boy directed them to a poorhouse. It was there they learned Syanna had indeed planned five murders. All to wreak vengeance upon those who had caused her to be banished from the court and the Ducal Palace. The final victim was to have been her very own sister, Duchess Anna Henrietta.
...and informs the duchess:
Few know the human soul and its complexities as poets do. Thus, I do not wonder why the witcher chose to inform Duchess Anna Henrietta of his findings. Driven by his sense of duty, he told her that Syanna, the sister miraculously and recently restored to her, then suddenly and irretrievably lost, had planned to have her murdered. Geralt was simply seeking to bring matters to a close. He does not, alas, possess that sixth sense that would allow him to foresee the duchess' reaction. Luckily, I was there (again) to quell the emotional outburst that might have meant the witcher's end.
Geralt and Regis made their way to the vampire's crypt at the charming Mère-Lachaiselongue Cemetery. There, they indulged in some well-deserved respite while sipping Regis' exquisite (as they both assured me) mandrake hooch.
