Side-quests - part 2  (60/109)

 

Q3.66. Dice Poker: The Sharper

Phase 1. Too Good For Me

Talk to Koster in the gambling den (M14.25) and you’ll know that you have to become a professional before you can challenge him (Q2.32 Dice Poker: The Professional).

 

Phase 2. Entering the Gambling Den

When you become a professional player, you can play Koster.

 

Phase 3. The Gambling Den

Beat Koster.

More gamblers to be found in chapter IV.

 

Q3.67. Won’t Hurt a Bit

Phase 1. The Beast’s Teeth

Zahin Schmartz (M15.7) will buy some monster teeth from you.

 

Phase 2. The Beast’s Teeth

Bring him The Beast’s Teeth to get 50 orens, but what he really wants is...

 

Phase 3. Fleder Fangs

He’s eager to pay 100 orens for Fleder Fangs.

 

Phase 4. Cemetaur Jaw

Update: He’s eager to pay 150 orens for Cemetaur Jaw(submitted by: Roland de Ronceveaux).

 

Phase 5. Barghest Skull

Update: He will buy a Barghest Skull (if you have any left from Chapter I) for 50 orens. (submitted by: Roland de Ronceveaux).

 

Phase 5. Alp Fang

Update:Give Alp Fang to Zahin Schmartz. Open up new quest. (submitted by: bay101).

 

You can sell more teeth to him in the epilogue.

 

Q3.68. Six Feet Under

Phase 1. The Cemetery

Siegfried (M15.10) tells you that there’s something strange going on at the cemetery. In the middle of the graveyard (M22.1) you see a talking ghoul named Vetala.

 

Phase 2. Talking Ghoul

If you decide to kill it ...

 

Phase 3. Vetala Killed

... you will have to face him, one graveir and two ghouls.

 

Phase 4. Quest complete

At the end you have to go back to Siegfried (M15.10) for your reward – 200 orens (quest over).

 

Phase 5. The Commando

If you decide to save Vetala, you’ll know that there’s a Scoia’tael Commando walking around the cemetery.

 

Phase 6. A Choice

The Commando is near the entrance to the crypt (M22.2). One more choice to make: kill them or save the trapper people.

 

Phase 7. Battle the elves

If you decide to kill the Squirrels...

 

Phase 8. Siegfried Displeased

... Siegfried (M15.10) pays you 100 orens (quest over).

 

Phase 9. The Rescue

If you want to help those who are trapped in the crypt, find them in the furthest hall (M23.2) Kill all the ghouls.

 

Phase 10. Siegfried Satisfied

Tell Siegfried of your success (M15.10). You’ll get a bonus – 400 orens. It’s the best solution to this quest.

 

Update:

You have to finish Q3.68. Six Feet Under before you initiate Q3.73 Echoes of Yesterday to get the full xp and money reward. If Q3.73. is initiated, reporting to Siegfried will give you the reward but automatically fail Q3.88. Gold Rush. Q3.88. is actually initiated by Echoes of Yesterday and not by "Posh Reception" (probably a game version/patch discrepancy).

Q3.70. The Ring

Phase 1. The Ring

There’s a merchant at the Dike (M19.1) who asks you to retrieve his family ring.

 

Phase 2. Additional Information

When you ask him about where to look for it, you’ll find out that it’s on a body near Melitele shrine at the swamp.

 

Phase 3. Lost Property

Loot the body (M20.7) to find the ring.

 

Phase 4. Reward

Give the ring back to the merchant (M19.1) at the Dike. You’ll get 100 orens.

 

Q3.71. Beauty and the Beast

Phase 1. The Cure

When you meet Carmen at the swamp (M20.2), offer her your help in finding a cure for her beloved.

 

Phase 2. Three Ways

Talk to the Hierophant (M20.10) about werewolves. He tells you how to cure it. First you have to talk to Carmen’s beloved.

 

Phase 3. A Most Mysterious Werewolf

Carmen (M15.18) doesn’t want to tell you anything.

 

Phase 4. Vincent the Werewolf

After leaving the Salamandra’s hideout (M14.42) in phase 10 of Q3.87. Lock and Key you will see a scene in which the werewolf strikes down a group of Salamandra thugs. In a while you’ll know that the werewolf is actually Vincent. This quest will end if you decide to kill him (you get Werewolf Fur for that). If you let him live, the quest will go on.

 

Phase 5. Cooperation

Go to see Carmen (M15.18) and tell her you know who her beloved is.

 

Phase 6. Fool’s Parsley

The cure consists of 5 portions of Fool’s Parsley. Read Swamp Plants to know how it looks.

 

Phase 7. To Carmen

Fool’s Parsley grows at the swamp. Look for it near the golem cemetery (M20.15).

 

Phase 8. Other Methods

Give the leaves back to Carmen (M15.18).

 

Phase 9. Failure

After a while Carmen tells you that the cure didn’t work.

 

Phase 10. Kalkstein’s Medicine

Go to Kalkstein who’s still in the tower (M20.6) and ask him for lycanthropy cure (remember about the teleports). Kalkstein agrees to help you, but needs a while to work.

 

Phase 11. A Virgin’s Tear

Go outside and visit Kalkstein again. Take the cure and start your search. You need to find a virgin.

 

Phase 12. A Potion for Carmen

If you thought that Carmen was a virgin, you were wrong just like we were. Go to the hospital and ask one of the nurses for a tear.

 

Phase 13. The Remaining Methods

Give the cure to Carmen (M15.18).

 

Phase 14. Failure

Carmen tells you that this cure didn’t work either.

 

Phase 15. Desperate Means

The only thing left to try is, well, true love – tell Carmen about it.

 

Phase 16. Love

After you talk to Carmen, you know that she really loves Vincent. He seems to be more fond of his work, however.

 

Phase 17. Talking to Vincent

Vincent is either in the dungeon (M15.1) or by the gate (M15.8). Talk to him about the true love.

 

Phase 18. The Curse is Lifted

Go back to Carmen and how her how things are going. It turns out that their love truly grows.

comments and responses

I am having great difficulty in killing those bloedzuigers in the side quest "the ring". I always seen to end up dead before I am able to kill all of them and search the corpse. I drink Tawny Owl prior to the quest but that doesn't seem to help either. What am I doing wrong?

The best place to find Cemetarus are near the Mage's Tower at night! I found many there with some necrophages! I tried meditating in the fireplace near it but don't worked, best to walk from the village to find them! Thanks!

The ghouls (of each type) appear rather randomly so just keep walking around in all the different crypts, you will find one. There is no way to guarantee one. There are more than one crypts, try another one.

A cemetaur is another variety of ghoul, so you must go into a cemetary or crypt.

In Q3.66. Dice Poker one of the gambling patrons says, "Several moxes and a Black Lothos... anyone interested?" This is a pretty funny inside reference to the Magic: The Gathering card game where "mox" and "black lotus" cards were powerful and collectible.

Raedwulf, I think we are both making the same mistake. Obviously you found out by now, since your comment is mutch older than mine, and you probably continued playing since then. So this comment is for all who panic about not finding the werewolf. Probably it's my copy of the Witcher, wich speaks my language (hungarian), wery poorly, so to undertand quests i gotta first translate the speech back to english, and maybe then i will get the ponit. Anyway, the salamndra hideout is not the salamndra camp in the sewers, with the two fatguys outside the bars asking a password, but the hideout wich you get to wisit during the quest "lock & key" when you find the right city guard, and aggree to meet in the sewers at midnight. Dude, i tought i was never gonna find that werwolf...

I'm getting the sad suspicion of me missing the werewolf completely. I've beaten all salamdras in the sewers (both the ones in the hideot, and the ones in the sewers, with Gellert. I can't recall where i finally came up from the sewers, but there was no sign of that werewolf. I've wandered around the area, where he should' ve appeared, but all i ever bump into is barricades. Where actually do you exit the sewers to finally trigger the werewolf scene??? Any ideas anyone?

I've encountered the same problem as you Diaboliks...
1. Go to go to the swamp and take the quest from Yeavin and finish it.
2. Go to Siegfriend and take the quest for the Cemetary and finish it ( If you finish this first, and expose the commando unit Yeavin won't give you his quest)
3. Go to the Posh Reception quest finally.

I can't find Vincent for the completion of Beauty & the Beast. I've looked all throughout the day and night, and Vincent is no where to be found. I've looked in the Dungeon and at his old post. I've even gone and tried to find my way back to his werewolf hangout, but couldn't get in. Any ideas?

Q3.67. Won’t Hurt a Bit, Schmartz also accepts Alp fangs, can't remember for the life of me how many orens (the usual chump change).
Saying he's at M15.7 is slightly misleading, he's rarely at home, most of daytime I found him wandering between back of hospital and merchants (M15.17 - M15.2)

You can`t have this quest if you make Quest : A Posh Reception first. After you finish A Posh Reception , and you try to make a way to the Swamp from where you take Echoes of Yesterday, a child will stop you and give to you Gold Rush quest..so when you go to the Swamp you will not find Yaevinn because he is in the Bank. I make first 6 Feet Under for Siegfried, after that A Posh Reception, and after that Gold Rush (help Yaevinn). When i go in Swamp , Yaevinn never appear he will be in Vivald House and hide here and he never give to you Echoes of Yesterday quest. You will lose only 2000 XP ... I think is an bug .. because the Gold Rush appear only after A Posh Reception .. and after Gold Rush you can find Yaevinn in Swamp.. maybe a new version of game/ patch will resolve that. So to make Echoes of Yesterday you must go from first time in Swamp, after you make 6 Feet Under Quest for Siegfried. But for me is strange. Why ? Because , how i can know Yaevinn have a quest for me in Swamp ? Because only after A Posh Reception you have some quests in Swamp but you can`t find Yaevinn here because you must make Gold Rush question.
