"The Gargoyle Contract" from Chapter 3 of "The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings". IMHO, the most difficult contract in all the game. READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW...

NB. This quest is for Roche's path. For Iorveth it is a bit trickier, because some guards are attacking you and some doors are closed. If I knew this before making this one I would probably would make it for Iorveth's path. But 1st I finished game for Roche (coz "Roche is your bro" and all that :)) and made a gargoyle quest, but after that even thought of going through this MOST ANNOYING QUEST in ALL TWO Witchers (including the First Witcher with its Raven's armor quest) and then capturing and editing it all over again made me sick. So, I hope you will manage to go a bit different way than shown in this video. It's not that difficult, imho. Loc Muinne takes some time to get used to, but it's manageable. So, having said that - to the quest...

The combinations of runes may vary. Altogether there're 6 of them:

First encrypted rune combination

A doe's long shadow
The moon quietly moans
It is autumn already

Solution: Extinguish the runes in the following order: Animal/Sky/Death/Time


Second encrypted rune combination

Three field mice
Dance in a circle at dusk
Stars are like grain

Solution: Extinguish the runes in the following order: Animal/Death/Time/Sky


Third encrypted rune combination

Glittering fish
Dying on a fresco
Struck by lightning

Solution: Extinguish the runes in the following order: Animal/Time/Death/Sky


Fourth encrypted rune combination

Behold the comet
It is like a wolf in times of scarceness
An evil lullaby

Solution: Extinguish the runes in the following order: Sky/Animal/Time/Death


Fifth encrypted rune combination

Divertimento!
Clouds are like bees
When bells ring


Solution: Extinguish the runes in the following order:
Death/Sky/Animal/Time


Sixth encrypted rune combination
6th encrypted rune combination

On the dark sky
The beauty of a falcon's flight
Faster and Faster

Solution: Extinguish the runes in the following order: Sky/Death/Animal/Time


If you want to know how the runes look like - read books The Runes of Power I-IV. But if you "can't read" :) - ok, in this video in the first room the first extinguished rune is Death, then Sky, then Animal, then Time.

Btw, I still didn't get why the sequences are as they are. The hint doesn't help. They should have given 4 sentences! But they give only 3 and you need 4 runes! For example: "Glittering fish / Dying on a fresco / Struck by lightning" - I see Animal, Death, Sky, but where the hell is "Time"?!!! Why the fuck it should go after Animal rune on second place?! Or "Three field mice / Dance in a circle at dusk / Stars are like grain" - Animal, Time, Sky, but where's Death?!! Why it should be second?! The only combination that seems logical to me is "Behold the comet / It is like a wolf in times of scarceness / An evil lullaby" - here I can see all the needed 4 runes: Sky, Animal, Time, Death... But maybe I'm just missing something.

PS. There's a little glitch in this video: the runes look already extinguished and barely visible after reading the script though they're not.

I hope this video and explanation will help you. Wish you good gaming!
