How to Complete A Deadly Plot in the Witcher 3
A Deadly Plot is part of a series of quests you unlock by meeting Djikstra as part of the main quest called Get Junior. After that, he will ask you to meet him for something he has in mind that will set in motion a series of political quests. After you complete the Now or Never side quest, you will get access to A Deadly Plot.
The quest starts as Djikstra and will ask you to search for his agent that was supposed to arrive a few days ago. Once you got the quest, fast-travel to the Redanian checkpoint where you have to talk to a soldier that will give a lead on where Djikstra’s agent was last seen.
After that, go to the location marked on your map, and you should be able to see an abandoned Shoemaker’s wagon. Use your Witcher Senses to check all the clues, and nearby, you should be able to see a trail of shoes. Follow that trail that will lead to a cave, where you will meet Djikstra’s agent being held captive by two trolls.
