Quest Group: Main Quests
Suggested level: 7
Location: Novigrad
Prerequisites: To play this quest, you must first complete the quest Pyres of Novigrad.
You will receive this quest automatically when you complete the Pyres of Novigrad quest, at the end of which Triss will suggest you to talk to Corinne Tilly and tell you where you can find her.
Oneiromancers - or dreamers, as they are more commonly called - possess the ability their name implies to divine the future or relive the past through dreams. Corinne was one of the best of her kind and had no trouble finding clients, even with the hostility to the occult that reigned in Novigrad at the time. Geralt hoped she would spare him a few moments, and set off to find her in a house where she had gone to ply her trade.

Go to the house Triss told you about. At the entrance, you'll meet the owner of the house, the banker Rudolf de Jonkheer, who hired Corinne. After a short conversation with him, you will be able to enter the house. Go to the bedroom located on first floor of the house, where you'll find a sleeping Corinne. By her bedside, you'll see a little girl-like creature. When she sees you, she'll run away and hide. Geralt will try to wake up Corinne, but he will not succeed. Corinne has nightmares and screams something about a doll and an attic.
In a small room adjacent to the bedroom, you will find a ladder that you can climb up to the attic. Next you have to use the Aard sign or weapon to destroy the bookcase that is blocking your path to the next room.
In the attic, find the Drawing of a crib and take a look at it.
Search the attic for the Rag doll too.
Go downstairs and enter the second of the small rooms adjacent to the bedroom. Put the doll in the cradle standing there.
The door to this room will suddenly shut behind your back. Approach the door and examine the drawing of the stove attached to it.
Go down to the basement. You'll get to it through the hatch located on the ground floor of the house.
Take a look inside the oven and Sarah, a harmless godling, will come out. She's the one who keeps Corinne from waking up. You can make a deal with Sarah and let her stay in the house or chase her away.
Note: If you let Sarah stay at the house, then some time later you will be able to do a short, additional quest - Haunted House.
If you decide to get rid of Sarah, you'll have to get a burdock. You can buy it from the Herbalist in Novigrad. Once you get the burdock return to the house, place the burdock on the oven, stand back and then use the Igni sign. Sarah will run away.
Return to the bedroom and talk to Corinne. She's willing to help you but she needs a moment to recover and will suggest that you meet her in her room at the Golden Sturgeon Inn.
When you leave the house, you'll talk to its owner again. If you let Sarah stay in the house, you can lie and tell him that the house is haunted or tell him the truth about the godling. In both cases, de Jonkher will decide to sell this house.
Go to Golden Sturgeon Inn. Corinne's room is located on the top floor of the inn. First she'll ask you some questions about Ciri and then she'll put you asleep. You will have a vision. You will see a swallow symbolizing Ciri and your old friend Dandelion - so they both met in Novigrad. When you wake up and tell Corinne what you were dreaming, she'll tell you where you can find your old friend.
Corinne agreed to help Geralt and put together a dreaming séance for him. Geralt has always been an introvert, and talking about his feelings and loved ones does not come easy for him. Yet that was exactly what the dreamer needed him to do if she was to dream about Ciri. In the end Geralt forced open his shell, then fell asleep - and dreamed. In his dream, he saw Ciri in Novigrad... with me.
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quests Broken Flowers, Haunted House.
