Side-quests - part 6  (38/109)

 

Q2.48. Bloodthirsty Vegetation

Phase 1. Archespore

Coccacidium is a deadly plant that you can find at the Swamps (M10.8). It’s a nasty opponent, to say the least, especially at this early stage of the game. Drink a Swallow and a Golden Oriole, then use the silver sword against it (strong style, also use Igni sign). Loot the body to get a trophy for Vincent.

 

 

Phase 2. A Reward

Give the trophy to Vincent (M8.44, M8.23) to get 400 orens.

 

Q2.52. A Lost Lamb

Phase 1. Lost Boy

This is the second quest you get from Vaska (after doing Q2.50. The Sentry). Go to Druids’ Grove to look for the missing boy.

Phase 2. The Dryad

Go to Druids’ Grove (M10.32) and ask the Druids about the boy. They’ll tell you to ask Morenn about that.

Phase 3. To Vaska

Morenn (M10.33) tells you that dryads only kidnap little girls and are not interested in boys – little boys, at least.

Phase 4. A Promise

Tell Vaska (M10.16) that the druids don’t have the boy. Promise her that you’ll bring him back if you find him.

This quest is continued in chapter III.

 

Q2.53. The Cannibal

Phase 1. Maneater

When you enter the abandoned hut (M10.18) and approach the table, you’ll notice that a maneater is living here.

 

Phase 2. Cannibal Gramps

After doing Q2.47. Pilgrimage, Gramps will be back in his hut – talk to him and he’ll admit that he’s the cannibal.

 

Phase 3. A Life Spared

You can let him live...

 

Phase 4. Information

... and in this case he’ll give you a recipe for Hanged Man’s Venom (quest ends).

 

 

Phase 5. Monster

You can also kill Gramps...

 

Phase 6. Death of a Cannibal

... and in this case he’ll run away and join forces with a group of Echinops. Move away from the plants and kill Gramps when he approaches you. Loot his body for a potion and an amber.

 

Q2.54. A Gravedigger’s Gratitude

Phase 1. The Permit

Ask the Gravedigger if he can let you into the cemetery (you can do that in phase 3 of Q2.49. Anatomy of the Crime).

 

Phase 2. The Pass (or Thaler)

If you finished the quest Q2.26 Suspect: Vincent Meis, go to Vincent (M8.44) and ask him for a pass to the cemetery. If you finished Q2.31. Suspect: Thaler, deal with the matter of Gravedigger’s debts with him (M8.26).

 

Phase 3. The Entry to the Cemetery

Go back to the Gravedigger and tell him that you can now enter the Cemetery. You’ll get a key and a recipe for Petri’s Philter.

 

Phase 4. The Cemetery is Open

You can now enter.

 

Phase 5. The Discovery

Inside the crypt (M12.3) in the graveyard you’ll find Raymond’s body (M13.7). True Raymond’s body. Search it to automatically finish all the “suspect” quests.

 

 

Phase 6. Raymond’s Body

Give the key back to the Gravedigger (M8.36) (you’ll still be able to enter the cemetery) and tell him about your findings.

 

Q2.55. A Most Uncommon Wine

Phase 1. Good Wine

You can meet Conrad during the night at the Hairy Bear (M8.24). The youngster will tell you to find a particular type of wine.

 

Phase 2. To the Inn

You have to find a bottle of Very Old Wine. It’s in an abandoned house’s cellar (M8.3). You have to defeat Graveirs to get rid of them.

 

Phase 3. Quest Completed

Give the wine back to Conrad. There’s no reward whatsoever.

another option instead of giving the wine to Conrad, is to place it in your storage and confront him... he'll tell you he has no money... so he'll just take 1 bottle and you can keep the rest. However you can just say "Sorry - I really don't have it with me!" - And you can keep all three. (submitted by prgm_mgr)

 

Q2.56. Flowers and Gold

Phase 1. Beggartick Flowers

Yaren Bolt (M10.22) tells you about valuable Beggartick Flowers. You have to find 5 of them for him. If you didn’t have the appropriate journal entry, you’ll get the necessary info from Yaren himself.

 

Phase 2. The Ferryman

The neccessary Beggartick Flowers can be found at (M10.27).

 

Phase 3. Cash Settlement

Give 5 Beggartick Flowers to the Ferryman (M10.1) for 400 orens.

 

Phase 4. Share in the Profits

Go back to Yaren (M10.22). If you decide to share the money with him, you’ll part as friends. If you don’t, you’ll have another enemy on your list.

A lot of people seem to be having a problem with this.

If you allowed the squirrels to survive in Chapter 1, then they kill Coleman in the beginning of Chapter 2, so getting a pass from Vincent is not available.

To get a pass from Thaler, requires you to conduct the autopsy (and follow certain dialog options) with Shani, talk to the gravedigger and find out how to get a pass, have the party at Shani's, and here's the part where I am not sure, but I know if you invite Zoltan as your guest, you can get Shani to reveal evidence of Thaler's innocence, which will open the dialog options with Thaler, that allows you to get a pass from him.

There appears to be one other option, the boot black, if you do the right stuff for him, offers to give you a pass.

Failing all of these, you have to wait until Chapter 3.

The theme of this particular game is choices and consequences. There are some bugged quests but this is not one of them, it is about the choices you make. There is a new version of the game (repackaged for retail), but available to registered owners as a downloadable patch due to be released next month. It does fix the bugged quests and it provides more detailed dialog that may help some to understand more about the future consequences of making a particular action or dialog choice.

I am really stuck trying to get in that cemetery. Nothing works. No technical errors just none of the dialog options mentioned above occur. Any ideas?

No, it's not bugged, you just have to wait for other things to occur. You must live with the consequence of making Vincent Meis mad, so that avenue is dead, but the Thaler option depends on having a certain conversation with Shani - that conversation will only occur at the party upstairs in her room. You have to go see her there first to set the party planning in motion, which requires you to get past Granny. That should suffice without giving away every thing.

I'm unable to get a pass for the cemetary. For some stupid reason, Vincent is mad at me and won't talk to me at all so I can't get a pass from him NOR can I get any $$ from him for killing that annoyingly tough Echinopse thing (the tougher one). Then for some other LAME reason, Thaler won't provide me with any dialog options to clear the grave-digger's debt. Probably bugged. Nothing is worse than a bugged quest in a RPG. :(

If you get nothing for the quest, just sell the wine. It's worth a pretty penny.

Hey! Did you know that the very old wine (quest item from Q2.55) can be used as alchemical ingredient (NOT base, ingredient)?
I wonder of what use it can be... Tried to put all tree bottles to the three-slot base, but it only blinded me. Looks like someone is gonna have to be more patient in mixing ingredients... OK, that's all. Good luck finding out what's behind this!

In Q2.55 (Uncommon Wine) if you put ALL of the wine in storage before talking to Conrad again, he won't be able to take it and Geralt will say something like "I guess we came out even on this one" (since Conrad wasn't going to pay for the wine anyway). You still don't really get anything out of the quest (other than the extra bottle of wine) but you get the satisfaction of seeing the look on Conrad's face when you tell him there's no wine!
