Where to find the old Kvyetoslava?

1. This is the second quest of the Brushes with Death DLC; it's a direct continuation of the quest A Sketchy Situation. Talk to the painter Voyta at the Trosky Castle about the new commission and promise to help in finding the shrine of the pagan god Veles.
2. The painter will send you to a meet an old lady named Kvyetoslava. Her location will be marked on the map: it's Vidlak Pond, west of Tachov (there is a fast travel point). Kvyetoslava should be on one of the farms.

1. You won't be able to get the information you need from Kvyetoslava right off the bat. You will need to perform a series of activities that will help her recall the shrine's location.
2. Valerian is the old lady's favorite flower and your first objective is to collect 5 of them. As a reminder, these flowers grow along forest roads, as well as in swamps and peat bogs. Investigate the forest path north of Vidlak Pond (see the screenshots above). You should easily find the flowers there.

How to fix Kvyetoslava's old dress?

The next task is to repair an old dress, brought to you by Kvyetoslava. You have 2 options here:

1. Visiting any tailor (scissors icon on the region map) - you will have to pay for the service.
2. Using a Tailor's Kit (example in the screenshot) - you have to select it from the inventory, and then select the old dress. As a result, its condition will be restored to 100%.

How to recite a poem for Kvyetoslava?

1. Kvyetoslava will put on the dress. The last step is to recite a poem that you come up with yourself. Wherever possible, try to choose the special dialogue options. ing the checks will make Kvyetoslava more satisfied with the final result.

Where to find the shrine of Veles, the pagan god?

1. Regardless of your efforts, the old woman will share with you 3 probable locations where you may find the shrine of the pagan god.
2. The first location is a rocky hill between the ponds and it is to the west of Zhelejov. The pagan shrine consists of a few boulders that you can examine. This is not the correct location.

1. The second location is the stream flowing past Nebakov Fortress. You will recognize the pagan shrine by the overturned statue, although this is still not the location you are looking for.

1. The third location is the river tributary of Lower Semine Pond. Head southwest of the Nebakov Fortress. You need to find the great stone head - it's the place you are looking for. You can first visit the 2 previous locations or go straight to this one.

1. Stay there and look at the massacred bodies, which will eventually update the mission objective. You can also optionally pull out a dagger from them.

How to bring Voyta to the shrine?

1. There is a bandit camp nearby and you must deal with them first. You can defeat them in open combat or wait until the night hours and take advantage of stealth opportunities.
2. Only after securing the area, return to Trosky Castle to talk with Voyta. You will automatically reach the shrine with him. You can evaluate the artist's work in any way you want; you can also lie or tell the truth about the old lady's opinion about Voyta. The next quest from Voyta will be Chiaroscuro (you'll need to talk to him again).
