Walkthrough

Following contains quest spoilers. You’ve been warned

Acquire a pass granting permission to cross the Pontar.

You will have two choices when you first talk to the soldier. What it boils down to is that you need to go to the black market merchant and do his Fake Papers quest.
Choice 1

(10) I’m sure we can figure something out

Giving the guard 10 crowns won’t get you anywhere and you only get 1XP
Choice 2

Just tell me who issues the passes

Using Axii on the guard is cheaper and grants 25XP

Use the pass to cross the Pontar.

    I refused the offer from the merchant then failed the protection quest. After that I couldn’t talk to the merchant and now I’ve done this part with the guard I can’t even find the merchant where the mission marker is. Any help?

      If you do the notice board quest about the wood beast you will receive a free pass from the guard. I have another free pass from the Bloody Baron. If you chose not to kill the spooky child you will eventually find out some info about Tamara which will lead in you having a pass in order to go and talk to her. its kind interconneted the whole world of the witcher :). have fun
