A Most Uncommon Wine

A Most Uncommon Wine is a secondary quest in Act II of The Witcher. Conrad, a young townsman propping up the bar at the Hairy Bear inn in the Temple Quarter, is unimpressed with the house wine and knows of something far better: a very old vintage sitting in the cellar of a house on the canal. The catch is that monsters have moved in downstairs.

The house is just past the gate to the Dike, at the first junction on the canal. A pack of graveirs guards the basement, so bring your silver sword. Conrad turns out to have drunk his money already, but he offers to split the haul instead: he takes a bottle, Geralt keeps the rest. With the right words, Geralt can squeeze a few orens out of him as well.

Walkthrough

  1. Talk to Conrad at the Hairy Bear inn and agree to fetch the wine.
  2. Go through the gate leading to the Dike and find the house at the first junction on the canal.
  3. Go down into the cellar and kill the four graveirs (Strong or Group style works well).
  4. Take the very old wine from the barrels.
  5. Return to the Hairy Bear in the evening; Conrad shows up around 18:00.
  6. Give Conrad his bottle and settle the payment.

Quest Consequences & Choices

Conrad cannot pay in cash, so he proposes to keep one bottle and let Geralt have the rest. Pushing back in the dialogue can get you about 80 orens for his bottle. The completion XP is the same whatever you choose.
