Till Death Do You Part is a secondary quest in the Blood and Wine expansion.

Contract: Quarrelling at the Cemetery

Since no one from our residents' committee seems to think it is their responsibility, I'll write it myself: this cannot go on! That infernal racket coming from the cemetery is driving us mad and no one is doing anything about it! I know we all hear it – Madame Bouquet admitted it keeps her awake all night long, and she lives further away from the cemetery than any of us.

If there is any witcher who can put an end to all the screaming, brawling and insults, I'll pay him from my own pouch.

Ask them to point out Charles Lanzano at the Clever Clogs. That'll be me.

Journal entry

While strolling through Beauclair's charmingly romantic streets, Geralt learned of a circumstance thoroughly charmless and unromantic. Come night something was making much tastelessly grating noise at the city cemetery.

The witcher investigated and discovered that neither grave robbers nor necrophages were the source of the din. Rather, the ruckus was the work of a couple, the de Corentins. For as in life, so in death, they could not abide each other's company, causing much fear and confusion with their shrill disputes. Geralt concluded that separation was the sole sensible solution – he would have to remove one of their remains from the tomb they shared, transferring them elsewhere.

If Geralt removes Louis' ashes:

In the end the witcher brought the enduring marital dispute to a close, thus ending the nocturnal noise it entailed. He did so by transferring the urn containing Louis de Corentin's ashes to another crypt. Geralt could now look forward to the most pleasant stage of any contract – collecting his reward. This proved even more valuable than the witcher had initially supposed, for in addition to the payment he received from his employer, he also got a series of rare gwent cards from the grateful Margot de Corentin. How had the woman come into their possession? How else but by having concealed them from her gambling husband. Though naturally she had done this while they were both still alive.

If Geralt removes Margot's ashes:

In the end the witcher brought the enduring marital dispute to a close, thus ending the nocturnal noise it entailed. He did so by transferring the urn containing Margot de Corentin's ashes to another crypt. Geralt could now look forward to the most pleasant stage of any contract – collecting his reward. This would have proven even more valuable than the witcher had initially supposed, for in addition to the payment he received from his employer, he was also supposed to get a splendid sword from Louis de Corentin.

If Geralt plays and wins the game of gwent against Trentin:

Though in point of fact he collected the blade not from Louis but from an armorer whom Louis had once handily defeated at cards. Though to Geralt it was all the same.

If Geralt plays and loses the game of gwent against Trentin:

Thus his adventure would have had a supremely happy ending, had he not allowed the armorer to talk him into a hand of gwent...

Notes

• The "special gwent cards" promised are two cards from the original four decks:
  • Barclay Els from the Scoia'tael deck and
  • Vampire: Bruxa from the Monsters deck,

not the newer Skellige deck. Geralt may already have them, in which case no cards appear to be found.

• If Geralt does not win the gwent game against Trentin, he only loses his wager, nothing more.

  The crypt in the catacombs actually looks unsuspicious...

  As it turns out the ghosts of an elderly couple, Louis and Margot, are causing all the commotion.
