Grandma
From Witcher Wiki
Shani's apartment in Vizima can be difficult to get to because of Grandma who stands vigil downstairs. It seems that Grandma has lived a full life: her diary reveals that she has had at least five sexual encounters in her younger days! Sadly now, in retirement, she prefers to play sentry.
Getting past Grandma is no easy feat, but Geralt has a number of tricks up his sleeve. Some ploys result in gaining entry that one time only, other times, permanent entry is gained.
- He can use sweet talk. Most of the conversation threads are very funny, worth investigating if for no other reason than to hear them all.
- He can use gifts: alcohol, a pair of gold women's gloves, or possibly a shawl of some sort)
- Orens go a long way as well. The bribe opportunity presents itself when Grandma asks Geralt to "take pity on the kitty", I've found that 20 orens seems to do the trick, despite the fact that the slider begins at 10 orens.
- The Prophet Lebioda's Signet Ring will allow you to get past Grandma. When she sees it she cries "Holy Melitele! Tis a monastic sign ...a monk of the Prophet Lebioda disguised as a witcher" and she insists that "father" Geralt help sway Shani away from her evil profession of medicine and back into the fold of the church.
Mysteriously, in Act III, Grandma is nowhere to be found. I wonder where she went?

[edit] Trivia
It is from Grandma that Geralt must "borrow" a diary, pickles and lard, or some special cordial during Shani's party.
