Tips

If you choose to save the elven women from the burning tower, immediately sheath your weapons to interact with the ropes, as combat stance prevents the rescue animation.
Finish all outstanding side quests in Flotsam—such as "The Endrega Contract" and "The Nekker Contract"—before speaking to Iorveth to launch the assault on the barge, as the town becomes permanently hostile and inaccessible afterwards.
