The Walls Have Ears – Witcher 2 Quest

This guide helps players with a specific quest of chapter 2 for Iorveth’s side in The Witcher 2. It has a map, legend, and walkthrough to show you exactly how to complete the quest.

Map Legend

1 – Human peasantry in the town hall
2 – Willy Oblate
3 – Cecil Burdon
4 – Olcan’s house

Background

During the quest Royal Blood, you’ll have to gather evidence which will help you judge Stennis. This quest is automatically received if you talk to the human peasantry right in the thick of the conflict in the town hall (#1).

Walkthrough

After talking to the peasant, you’ll learn that the suspect peasant, a friend of theirs, is being guarded by Scoia’tael at #2. He’ll be reluctant to talk at first, but after using either Axii or intimidation attempt, he’ll tell you what he knows about the attempt on Saskia’s life. He overheard a suspicious conversation between Stennis and the priest Olcan (who was killed by Henselt back in the beginning of the act). He’ll then point you to Olcan’s house, as it may contain clues.

To learn where the house is, talk to Cecil who’s found at #3. He’ll tell you where Olcan used to live (#4). Once you head over there, you’ll find his notes. They seem to be depicting a schematics for a goblet of some sort, the one that was forged in Suspect Thorak quest. To conclude this quest though, you’ll have to solve that quest as well.

After you find Olcan’s receipt in Thorak’s locker, this quest is done and you’ll receive 1000 experience points.
