Received from: Automatically after finishing The Eternal Battle.

Step 1: Talk to Zoltan Chivay

Go to the western gate, where you will meet Zoltan (M15, 22). The siege will begin as you're talking.

Step 2: Activate the dwarven mechanism

You will decide to start off by giving the soldiers a taste of hot oil - Vergen Besieged | Iorweth - Main missions - The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings Guide

You will decide to start off by giving the soldiers a taste of hot oil. Run up the walls on the right side - right at the end you will find a mechanism (M15, 23) which spills oil - you have to quickly mash the left mouse button. However look out for Kaedweni Knights.

Step 3: Rejoin Zoltan at the gate

After pouring the oil onto the enemies, return to Zoltan (M15, 22).

Additional prize: 300 XP

Step 4: Retreat. Follow Zoltan

Unfortunately the enemy forces will be able to break through to the first gate, so you have to quickly retreat to the next one (M15, 5)

Additional prize: 200 XP

Step 5: Defend Vergen's walls

Run up the walls (M15, 24), where you will have to fight off the enemies for quite some time - Vergen Besieged | Iorweth - Main missions - The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings Guide

Run up the walls (M15, 24), where you will have to fight off the enemies for quite some time. You won't be alone, so you don't have to worry about getting surrounded. The soldiers will be climbing the walls using two ladders. Aard comes in handy here, allowing you to knock the enemies down from the walls.

Additional prize: 400 XP

You will have to fight off another enemy wave - proceed identically as before and you should survive without any problems.

Additional prize: 400 XP

Step 6: Check the secret tunnel leading to Vergen

You will learn of a secret mine about which nearly no one knows, however the scouting team sent there for certainty isnt returning - Vergen Besieged | Iorweth - Main missions - The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings Guide

Inside you will have to fight your way through mercenaries (M22, 2). Be careful not to get surrounded, as the enemy has numerical superiority.

Additional prize: 300 XP

Step 7: Kill Detmold

You will eventually reach a bigger part of the cave, where you will meet Detmold (M22, 3) - Vergen Besieged | Iorweth - Main missions - The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings Guide

You will eventually reach a bigger part of the cave, where you will meet Detmold (M22, 3). What happens next can hardly be called a fight, as you just have to survive long enough for the mage to throw a spell at you. Additionally your moves are limited by the force field. Luckily you won't die, saved by somebody quite surprising. Detmold will be able to teleport.

Additional prize: 300 XP

Step 8: Return to the walls and defend Vergen

After a short talk with Saskia, leave the cave and return to Vergen (M22, 1) - Vergen Besieged | Iorweth - Main missions - The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings Guide

After a short talk with Saskia, leave the cave and return to Vergen (M22, 1). You will be greeted by Zoltan and automatically moved to the city walls.

Notice! Depending on whether you helped the she-troll or mercenaries during Where is Triss Merigold?, either trolls or mercenaries will come to help.

Step 9: Defend Vergen's walls

Once again you will have to fight off a wave of enemies climbing up the walls using ladders. Remember about using Aard to knock them down. After some time Iorweth will appear, together with a squad of Scoia'tael archers.

Step 10: Break through to Iorweth

Step 11: Escort Zoltan to the lever by the gate

The last stage of the mission will be escorting Zoltan to the lever (M15, 28), using which he can close the gate - Vergen Besieged | Iorweth - Main missions - The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings Guide

The last stage of the mission will be escorting Zoltan to the lever (M15, 28), using which he can close the gate.
