Side-quests - part 2  (18/109)

Q1.14. The Monster of the Lake

Phase 1. The Monster of the Lake

When you kill Nadir (M5.54) take the trophy from its body (Head of the drowner) and this quest will be initiated.

Phase 2. Collected by payment.

When you give the trophy back to the hunter (M5.9) he’ll pay you 200 orens.

Q1.17. King of the Crypt

Phase 1. King of the Crypt

After completing Q1.16. Buried Memories, you can access the remaining part of the crypt (M5.39) and deal with Ozzrel (M6.11). Take Alghoul’s head from its body to activate this quest.

Phase 2. Trophy

Take the head back to the hunter (M5.9) to get 200 orens.

Q1.19. Hot Potato

Phase 1. The Parcel

After completing Q1.18 Strangers in the night ask Haren if he has any more job for you. He’ll give you a package to deliver to the Hairy Bear inn in Vizima.

This quest is continued in chapter 2.

Q1.20. Dead Hand of the Past

Phase 1. The Cave

You’ll get this quest from a merchant Leuvaarden, whom you can meet inside the inn (M5.3). Look for his friend inside the cave (M5.56).

Phase 2. Remains

It’s good to have a Cat potion with you on this one. Inside you’ll have to battle some Echinops. You’ll see human remains by one of them.

Phase 3. The Burial

Take them back to Leuvaarden, and he’ll tell you that he wishes his friend to be buried in the Reverend’s chapel. If you lit the fire in all chapels (phase 3 of Q1.5. Of Monsters and Men), then the Reverend will let you bury the man and enter the chapel (M5.22).

Go underground and place the remains in the sarcophagus. The King of the Hunt appears (a slight reference to the books). You can do the conversation in a few various ways, but if you don’t deny the existance of fate, he’ll force you to fight Leo’s ghost. If you defeat it, you’ll find Red Meteorite by its body.

Phase 4. Payment

Go to the inn to collect your reward.

Phase 5. Companion buried

You’ll get 200 orens for your trouble.

Q1.21. She’s no early bird

Phase 1. The Rape

If you compliment Vesna in the inn (M5.3), you’ll meet her at the crossroads (M5.58), surrounded by thugs. If you decide to help her, you’ll have to defeat them all. Search their bodies – you have a chance of finding some booze by them.

Phase 2. To Grandma’s house

Vesna wants you to escort her to her grandma’s house (M5.24) – agree to that.

Phase 3. Barghests attack

When you go past the second chapel, you’ll be attacked by Barghests.

Phase 4. Another attack

More Barghests can be found by the next chapel. Try to concentrate on those who attack Vesna –she’s much weaker than you, and if she dies, then the quest is lost. May we recommend group fighting style, as it will attract the enemies to you.

Phase 5. A Date

When you escort Vesna to her house (M5.24), don’t forget to ask her for a meeting. She’ll tell you to meet her in the mill (M5.57) after the sun goes down. You are to bring a bottle of wine.

Go to the mill after dusk (M5.57) and give her the bottle.

Qp.22. Fistfight (continued)

Phase 2. Fighting Fat Fred

Fred can be found inside the inn (M5.3). You can challenge him.

Phase 3. Fat Fred Defeated

When you beat him, you’ll be able to choose a reward for you. Silver Diamond Ring seems to be the most valuable of the lot.

This quest is continued in chapter II.

comments and responses

Actually you can forge a 3xred meteorite sword before you enter the final phases.
First red meteorite loads in prologue after you help to kill the frightener.
Second red meteorite loads while doing the "Dead Hand of the Past". It's on Leo's ghost.
Third red meteorite loads in the crypt where the special Alghoul is.

Strange thing happened on my first run trough the game: In (She's no early bird) I saved her from the thugs (it was past midnight in-game) and then after escorting her I get the date in the old mill but, ehhhm, well...kinda funny 'cuz she went all the way to the mill and once she was there I couldnt get in...nor after dusk during the same day (meaning, I saved her at about 3 am in-game, tried to enter the mill and couldnt, then tried the same after dusk and same result, and i had all 3 wine types avalible, even the one you get from the altar in the "church") well, one of the few "unfinished" quests that I couldnt figure how to "finish" but I guess its a small bug that I actually found the thugs past midnight....oh! and it was before any patch was released (or better say, before I got to install any xD)

Indeed, but remember that it is best to have one forged with fragments of the same color, which makes it worthwhile to wait. Decisions and consequences.

Unlike many people say, it is possible to forge a meteorite sword in Chapter-I before the final phases of some quests. More importantly before the fight with the Beast. Actualy there are 4 meteorites in the first chapter. But the last (red) one can be found in the caves under Salamander's Hideout, when it is too late to make good use of it.

The meteorites can be found in following places:
- 1 x Blue Meteorite lies in the chest where you fight the ghoul lord in the extended part of the crypt (King of the Crypt).
- 1 x Blue Meteorite can be simply bought from Haren. To get to his store you need to ask him about the things he sells.
- 1 x Red Meteorite, as it was mentioned in the walkthrough, can be recovered from Leo’s ghost corpse (The Burial).
