Suspect: Thaler



Suspect: Thaler is a sub-quest of Vizima Confidential in Act II. It is part of Geralt's investigation into Salamandra.

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.

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.

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.

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.
