Suspect: Vincent Meis

Suspect: Vincent Meis is a secondary quest in Act II of The Witcher and one of the suspect threads of the Vizima Confidential investigation. It opens near the end of The Beast of the Sewers: Vincent, captain of the city guard, was one of the few people who knew Geralt was down in the sewers, so the Salamandra ambush there looks a little too convenient.

Vincent insists he is only keeping an eye on the Salamandra, which is exactly what a man on Azar Javed’s payroll would say. The quest is about collecting four clues, hearing Vincent out, and deciding whether you believe him. You can also skip the detective work and let the truth come out on its own through the wider investigation, though that pays less.

Walkthrough

  1. After the sewer ambush, talk to Siegfried; the first clue comes automatically.
  2. Ask the guards at the gate to the Trade Quarter or the gate to the Royal Castle about the Salamandra (clue 2).
  3. Talk to the detective for the first time (clue 3).
  4. Ask Jethro about the Professor (clue 4).
  5. Have a serious talk with Vincent and weigh his explanations against the clues.
  6. Optional: during The Rat, find Coleman on the Dike for definitive proof of Vincent’s innocence.

Quest Consequences & Choices

  • Believe all his explanations (or find definitive proof / the full truth): Vincent is cleared, you get the most XP and a piece of information about Azar Javed.
  • Believe none of them: you accuse Vincent of being bought by Azar Javed and earn less XP.
  • Blame Raymond or let other quests clear him: the quest still closes, but with smaller rewards.
