Detailed walkthrough
This task can be started by completing all of the optional objectives in The Hermit while investigating the Hermit's activities. This task requires the player to have a shovel, as several objectives involve digging. A shovel can be purchased from merchants or found in the game world before starting the quest. The player can find the Widow Margaret in the Troskowitz graveyard during the morning hours. Speaking with Margaret will prompt her to share the story of her connection to the Hermit and explain how his brother, Jan, was unjustly buried outside the graveyard. Though many believed Jan took his own life, Margaret reveals that he actually fell off a cliff after sparring with Vashek for her love.
Margaret will then direct the player to Jan’s grave, located just outside the cemetery grounds, and request that his remains be properly reburied within the graveyard. The grave is easy to locate, marked by the rose bushes growing on top of it. The player must first pluck the flowers marking Jan's grave, then dig up the grave and gather the remains for transport. Once the remains are collected, the player should enter the Troskowitz graveyard and locate the marked grave at the far end. The player must dig up the grave and place Jan’s remains inside it.
Following this, a cutscene will trigger where both Widow Margaret and Henry pray over the grave. The two will have a conversation afterwards reflecting on the ethics of their activities. Margaret will thank the player for their help and will try to give 45 groschen as way to silence Henry. If the player declines the coin, Margaret will put in a good word for him at the tailor.
The quest concludes after this conversation. Completing it allows the player to return to the Hermit and fulfill their end of the bargain, unlocking the option to ask about the location of the sword as part of The Hermit questline.
