At the conclusion of the For a Higher Cause! story quest, you can choose to proceed with either this quest or the ongoing Where is Triss Merigold? quest, but you can't actively pursue both.

(LEFT) 'Lead Philippa back through the sewers and search for the secret entrance to her private quarters.' (RIGHT) 'You must light the candles in a certain order suggested by the notes Philippa left on her desk, or else you won't be able to open the treasure chest.'

If this is the route you take, you'll need to guide Philippa through the sewers and toward her quarters. The walk will be a slow one, and along the way you'll meet Iorveth. He takes out some guards, and you can start forward through the sewers again with him leading Philippa.

As you progress, you will encounter weak resistance from monsters. There are none of them that should prove particularly fierce. You've fought their sort before. Just remember that the rotfiends will explode shortly after defeated, so you don't want to be caught in a blast of bloody guts. When you clear away a few groups, Iorveth will suggest that you check the room ahead before he enters it. Climb the stairs and you'll reach that room, where you will be attacked by a gargoyle or two. Kill it, then head into the room to the right. Some of Philippa's notes are on a table there. Grab them, then head left two rooms and defeat more gargoyles.

Iorveth and Philippa will join you again, and now the lot of you can head upstairs. There, you'll find candles spread out in a pattern along the floor. Philippa explains that the candles must be lit in a certain order, as described by her cryptic notes. There are three different patterns outlined. One of them will open the chest, but you'll have to try each one until you find the correct combination. The three possibilities are: 1) lower left, upper left, upper right, lower right, center; 2) lower left, upper right, lower right, upper left, center; 3) lower right, upper left, upper right, lower left, center.

One of the three combinations works and you are attacked as Philippa flees in owl form. Then you're left to fight a monster known as the elemental. It is a slow-moving creature and capable to killing blows, if you have those skills. Just hack away at it and watch the ground at your feet. If you see yellowish light forming a circle around them, roll to the side and then resume your onslaught against the beast. When you defeat it, you can open the chest for the dagger you were promised. Talk to Iorveth and when you suggest that you should next head to the summit, A Summit of Mages becomes available as your next story quest and the current one is marked complete.
