[edit] Walkthrough

A number of things impact this little side quest. It can either be completed by proving all the suspects innocent at once, or by proving only Thaler's innocence. Whether or not Coleman gets killed certainly has a major impact. The autopsy that Geralt and Shani conduct on the crown witness also has an impact.

The quest can be initiated by speaking to the Mysterious man at night, outside Thaler's place.

If Geralt finds Raymond's body before having proven Thaler's innocence or guilt, the discovery serves to clear everyone currently under suspicion, including Thaler. The autopsy is another way to prove Thaler's innocence as there is no way to implicate him in the course of that examination. Of course, if the witcher encounters the mysterious man who hangs out by Thaler's place at night, then simply mentioning that encounter to the fence clears him of suspicion in the murder of the crown witness.

[edit] Notes

• Ultimately, there really is no way to actually implicate Thaler. The fence never becomes the prime suspect, so don't worry about proving him innocent if it seems impossible given choices you have made
• Thaler is not the only way to get a pass to the cemetery, Vincent Meis can also give you a pass

[edit] Phases

[edit] Thaler

The evidence suggests there is some sort of connection between Thaler and Azar Javed. I'll talk to the fence and try to learn more. I should speak with Thaler about his dealings with the Salamander.

[edit] Lack of Evidence

I decided to give Thaler the benefit of the doubt for now. If he is guilty, evidence should surface soon enough. I will reopen the case if I find new evidence.

[edit] Innocent

Autopsy implicated Kalkstein or Ramsmeat: With Raymond's help I managed to eliminate Ramsmeat and figure out Kalkstein. That closes the case. After all, Thaler was not involved in all this. (500 XP) or Autopsy implicated Azar: The evidence suggests Thaler is innocent. I should speak with him. I'll tell Thaler I have proof of his innocence. (500 XP) or Found mysterious man: The evidence suggests Thaler is innocent. I should speak with him. I'll tell Thaler I have proof of his innocence. (500 XP)

[edit] Innocent

I told Thaler that the evidence I gathered proves him innocent. I earned his gratitude. I'm now convinced the fence is not working for Azar.
