Side-quests - part 2  (34/109)

 

Q2.24. Memory of a Blade

Phase 1. The Sword at Thaler’s

Vincent tells you that Thaler own a witcher’s sword in phase 2 of Q2.23. Prison Break.

 

Phase 2. The Mysterious Owner

Ask Thaler (M8.26) about the sword and he tells you that it’s not Berengar’s blade.

 

Phase 3. The Dice Player

Ask Thaler where he got the sword. You’ll know that he bought it from the Gambler who can be found in the Hairy Bear (M8.24).

 

Phase 4. The Gardener

The Gambler tells you that he won the sword from the Gardener (M8.29).

 

Phase 5. Shani

Gardener tells you that the sword was in posession of a witcher named Coen, who died in the battle of Brenna. Ask Shani about him. You can access her house (M8.21) during the night (see the map description for the right marker to know how to get pass the grandma).

 

 

Phase 6. Zoltan

Shani tells you that you should talk to Zoltan about the sword.

 

Phase 7. The Appraisal

Zoltan can be found in the Hairy Bear (M8.24). He’ll tell you that your sword is nothing to be ashamed of. This will end the quest, and also you’ll get an Earth Rune from him.

 

Q2.25. The Beast of the Sewers

Phase 1. The Skoffin

Quest is activated after you kill the Cockatrice in the sewers (M8.1) at the beginning of Chapter II. You are to go back to Vincent for your reward.

 

Phase 2. Proof

Tell Vincent (M8.23) that you have the proof you killed the Cockatrice and he’ll buy the trophy from you for 400 orens.

 

Q2.26. Suspect: Vincent Meis

Phase 1. Suspicion

When you talk to Siegfried in the sewers (phase 6 of Q2.23. Prison Break), Vincent will be mentioned as a suspect in the Salamandra case.

 

Phase 2. Warehouse

If you ask Vincent (M8.23) about his investigation with Salamandra, you’ll find out that his does some work in one of the warehouses at midnight.

 

Phase 3. Salamanders

Go to the warehouse (M8.39) at midnight. Regardless of what you say, you’ll have to fight the bandits. If you support Vincent, you’ll know a bit more about the situation.

 

Phase 4. Bits and Pieces

After talking to Vincent (no matter what you said) you’ll find out that there is no evidence against him.

Phase 5. Innocent

In phase 4 of Q2.36 The Rat – when going to the Dike (M8.4) – you’ll hear that Meis is really working on exposing the Salamandra.

 

Phase 6. Innocent

Go back to Vincent (M8.23, M8.44) and tell him that you know about his work on the Salamandra. You’ll also hear some things about Javed and receive a City Guard Signet Ring.

 

Q2.30. Suspect: Vivaldi

Phase 1. A New Suspect

This quest is activated when you talk to Jethro (M8.23) about the Professor.

 

Phase 2. Innocent

Vivaldi (M8.9) is innocent, because he lost control of his bank and thus couldn’t have paid the fine for the Professor. Zoltan will tell you about it (M8.24).

 

Phase 3. Innocent

Talk to Vivaldi to find out that Azar Javed is a renegade wizard, one of the ones who were responsible for witcher mutations.

 

Q2.31. Suspect: Thaler

Phase 1. Thaler

Give Jethro (M8.23) some Fisstech (loot bodies of bandits to find it, for example in phase 4 of Q2.27. Vizima Confidential) and he’ll tell you that Thaler might have something to do with Salamandra (if Jethro doesn’t want to talk to you, leave the dungeon and reenter it).

 

Phase 2. Lack of Evidence

Thaler won’t tell you anything about his contacts with Salamandra – you need proof.

 

Phase 3. Innocent

In phase 6 of Q2.49. Anatomy of a Crime he will be considered innocent. Proof of his innocence can also be found at the end of Q2.37. Old Friend of Mine.

 

Phase 4. Innocent

Go to Thaler (M8.26)...

 

Phase 5. Innocent

... and tell him that Azar is impersonating Raymond.

 

Q2.32. Dice Poker: The Professional

Phase 1. Thaler Plays Poker

Visit Thaler in chapter II (M8.26) to challenge him.

 

Phase 2. Thaler

Beat him.

 

Phase 3. Munro Rolls the Dice

Challenge Munro inside the inn (M8.24).

 

Phase 4. Munro.

Beat Munro.

More opponents can be found in chapter III.

 

Q2.33. Safe Haven

Phase 1. The Merchant

Ask Zoltan about a job and he’ll tell you to see Leuvaarden (M9.10).

 

Phase 2. Drowners in the Swamps

The Merchant will offer you 400 orens for getting rid of the Drowners at the swamp.

 

Phase 3. The Reward

Drowners can be found at the Swamp, near the fireplace (M10.4) – be sure to kill them at night (there are numerous enemies also during the day, but they’re not the ones related to this quest).

 

Phase 4. Quest Completed

Go to Leuvaarden (M9.10) who is wandering around the Dike.

comments and responses

The only thing I can think of is that you did not get the whole story from Shani, did you get the details of the tryst? In any case, you should get more dialog options from Thaler. And BTW you need to also complete the dialog options with the gravedigger before talking to Thaler. He owes him some money.

For Suspect Thaler and the Gravedigger letting me in the cemetery...
I can't get in the cemetery!
Conrad died cause I let the elves take the items from the shore in chapter 1 so I can't use Vincent for a pass.
I finished the friend quest with Dandelion and Shani but it justs says (at Thaler) "I know about your trist with Shani" as an option at which he tells me to F*** Off!
So I can't go to the cemetery even though I finished the autopsy and the friend quest.
What do I need to do?
Please help!
