Suggested level: 11
Location: Novigrad
To start this quest, talk to Lussi, who you will find on the bridge leading to the temple island. She will ask you to help her drive out the monsters haunting her house.
After Geralt and Triss raided their outpost and killed Menge, the witch hunters decided to exact revenge on mages and freaks of all kinds. The city swarmed with armed units searching for anyone with slightly pointy ears or a whiff of the occult about them.

Follow the woman to her house. When you get inside, you'll realize there are no monsters there, only two witch hunters (11) who will attack you. When you kill them, Lussi will apologize for fooling you and tell you about the hidden treasure that should make it up to you. She'll give you one of the three keys you need to open the safe where the treasure is. You'll have to get the rest of the keys on your own.
Start by searching the bodies of the hunters. You'll find a warrant in them. Read it and you'll find out about the other people who should have the keys - Walter and Fritz.
Warrant
WANTED: Three bandits in possession of magic contraband. Objects are dangerous, banned, to be destroyed immediately.
Lussi, known as the Fox. Hiding on Temple Isle, near the bridge.
Fritz, hiding near the Crooked House.
Wallter, last seen in the Lacehalls, near the Putrid Grove.
Bandits are to be apprehended or, if they resist, killed where they stand.
Go to the place where Walter should be. When you get there, you'll see Walter banging on the door of one of the houses and two witch hunters (12) walking towards it.
If you kill the witch hunters before they attack Walter, he'll give you the key. If you don't make it and Walter dies, you'll find the key in his corpse.
Then go to Fritz's House. You'll find the body on the lower floor. It's Fritz, who's been dead for a quite some time.
Go up to the top floor and ignite the torch you find there. When you do that, the passage to the secret room will open.
On the table in the hidden room you will find the last of three keys.
The safe is in the same secret room in Fritz's house as the key. Unlock it, take its contents and the quest will end.
