The Witcher 3: An Eye for an Eye walkthrough
Temerian guerrilla leader Vernon Roche requires your help.
In the An Eye for an Eye quest in The Witcher 3, a Temerian guerrilla leader, Roche, has requested the help of Geralt with tracking down where his second in command, Ves, has stormed off to. Ves has gone rogue and is causing trouble, so of course Geralt steps in to help.
You'll need to find Ves and prevent her from causing any further trouble or coming in harm's way, so here's how to complete the An Eye for an Eye quest in The Witcher 3.
The Witcher 3: An Eye for an Eye walkthrough
An Eye for An Eye becomes available once you have completed Get Junior and made contact with Vernon Roche in The Witcher 3, either following a lead granted in the main storyline or by wandering into his cave in search of a game of Gwent. It's one of the Assassins' quests featured in the game, and also part of the Brothers in Arms: Novigrad questline.
Roche, whom you may remember from The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, tells you he has a problem - his trusted second in command, Ves, has stormed off on a mission of revenge. Agree to help him out.
Put on your best soldier killing equipment (Hanged Man's Venom is a help) and meet Roche by Hanged Man's Tree in Velen. If he's not there, and you have the quest A Deadly Plot active, go meet with Dijkstra at Passiflora to get Roche to go back to the waypoint. You do not need to complete A Deadly Plot to return Roche to his position - just have the initial meeting.
Roche spots a ruckus down below, involving Ves, of course. Charge down and start killing Nilfgaardian soldiers, focusing on those attacking Ves first. Clear them all out while she's alive to succeed in your goal. If she dies, you'll fail the quest.
After the battle, you can opt to support Roche's decision to let the leader go, or back up Ves in her desire to kill him. There appear to be no consequences to your decision, besides the feelings of the NPCs.
In either case, completing this quest means Roche and Ves will be available later in the game to help you in your plight against the Wild Hunt.
