A Greedy God in The Witcher 3: Best Choice for the Allgod, Every Outcome and Reward
Witcher 3 A Greedy God: the best choice for the Allgod (bargain and reveal the cellar for 100 crowns), what killing him does, the cellar loot and where to start.
In this article (0 sections)
Updated October 2026. A Greedy God is a short Velen side quest: two peasants say their god, the Allgod, has cursed them for bringing poor offerings. The "god" is a fat sylvan living in a hidden cellar under the ruins. You decide what happens to him, and the choice changes your reward and what the peasants do next. Here is the best option and every outcome.
Quick answer
Best choice: "Settle for humble offerings – or die", then tell the peasants about the cellar. That pays the most: 100 XP and 100 crowns on top of the base 25 XP.
Loot the cellar first. You may not be able to get back in later, and the chests can hold diagrams.
Killing the Allgod upsets the peasants, who leave for Claywich, and you get no crowns.
Where to Start A Greedy God
Follow the road south from Wastrel Manor in Velen until you reach a small ruin with an altar. Two peasants, Dagmar and Preben, are arguing there. Suggested level: 7. You need the Eye of Nehaleni, which Keira Metz gives you in the main story, to reveal the cellar. Without it, you can start the quest but can't finish it.
The peasants explain that one of their ancestors once saw a bush burst into flame and heard a voice demanding worship. Their family has fed the Allgod ever since, but the war has made their offerings meager, and now he has cursed them. Agree to speak to the Allgod for them.
Walkthrough: Finding the Allgod
Talk to the altar. The voice threatens drought, earthquakes and avalanches, which is a strange threat in a flat swamp, and it clearly comes from below. Turn on your Witcher Senses: there's a crack in the wall and a bottle that smells of vinegar. Follow the trail to a pile of rubble behind the wall. It's an illusion, so use the Eye of Nehaleni to dispel it and go down into the cellar.
Loot the cellar now. Its chests hold runestones and can contain two random diagrams, and you may not be able to get back in later. There's another chest on the west side of the ruins outside.
A Greedy God Choices and Rewards
The Allgod is a sylvan (a "deovel") who has grown fat on the peasants' food. Geralt gets three options:
| Choice | What happens | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| "Settle for humble offerings – or die" | The sylvan eyes your silver sword and agrees to accept what they can give. The peasants are grateful. | 25 XP + 50 XP + 50 crowns |
| …and tell them about the cellar | Same, plus the peasants learn where their god lives. Later, the cellar is buried under rubble. | Extra 50 XP + 50 crowns |
| "Got an idea. I'm gonna kill you." | You fight and kill him. The peasants are horrified, not grateful, and leave for Claywich. | 25 XP + 50 XP |
| "Fine. I'll tell them." | No bargain. The peasants resign themselves to emptying their stores for him. | 25 XP + 50 XP |
What Happens Later
If you told the peasants about the cellar, the entrance is later blocked with rubble; it isn't clear whether they or the Allgod did it. If you kept it a secret, come back later and you'll find a group of worshippers at the altar while the sylvan grumbles about his food. That happens whether or not you bargained.
Which Choice Is Best
For rewards, bargain and reveal the cellar: it's the only route with crowns, and it pays the most XP. It also fits the story best. The sylvan never hurt anyone, the peasants keep their faith, and they stop starving themselves. Killing him is the "rational witcher" option, but the game treats it as Geralt missing the point: the peasants lose their god, call you a murderer and leave.
The Allgod's quest has a Polish title, "Opium dla ludu", meaning "opium of the people". That is the joke the whole quest is built on.
