If this is a bother for you, stay at a distance and use signs on them. Here’re you’ll have to engage in fisticuffs with two thugs. Do any shopping you fancy visit Vimme Vivaldi, the banker, for a high-stakes game of Gwent and grab all the secondary missions from the noticeboard before moving into Triss’s courtyard. When you enter the town square you’ll see a disturbing cutscene, after which you can check out some merchants gathered nearby. Don’t worry if you can’t access the merchant markers on the map they’ll all be available shortly. On your way to Triss’s house you’ll likely notice a quest marker go in and chat with the dumpling chef to accept the Of Swords and Dumplings secondary mission. Novigrad is a big town, but just stick to your waypoints for now and you'll be fine. (Did you know? Casting Igni at a horse will cause it to panic, throwing its rider, whom you can one-hit kill with an execution if you approach them while stunned.) Much of the open world between the city and the areas you’ve been exploring is hazardous at your current level, so stick to the road and you shouldn’t encounter anything scarier than some level seven bandits on horseback. Make your way to Novigrad from the closest discovered fast travel zone. That said, it's best left till after you've made some progress in the questline that starts with The NilfGaardian Connection and ends with The Whispering Hillock, because it's somewhat higher-level content. You can attempt it any time after you have access to Velen, as Novigrad is continuous with the Velen map. Pyres of Novigrad is the second of three major questlines that form In Ciri's Footsteps.
