Walkthrough[edit edit source]

Beat the sharpers one by one as you meet them during your journey. The quest ends when you have beaten three sharpers. You can then look forward to playing a legendary player, maybe even the king! The spawns the Dice Poker: The Legend quest.

It is not actually necessary to complete this quest to do Dice Poker: The Legend. It is just nice for continuity.

At the gambling den, if you go through the door in the basement, then you'll enter an adjacent building where you'll find three wealthy townsmen. If you fleece all three of them, then you'll complete the quest, but you won't get any particular reward, other than the orens you received from your winnings. 1 - Hairy Bear Inn 2 - Gunn's Smithy.

Notes[edit edit source]

• Either Zoltan or Dandelion can tell Geralt about sharpers.
• Asking Koster for a game in the Gamblers' den in Chapter III without having beaten four professionals initiates this quest but advancing it only becomes possible after beating the professionals.
• You must only beat three out of the four sharpers you encounter, so your journal entries may not include all the entries you see below, nor will the phases you do see necessarily be in the same order as shown below.
• You can find Chireadan during the daytime near the Elven cave on the Lakeside. At night he is inside the cave, sleeping, but does not seem to mind being roused for a quick game of dice.
• Dandelion is in permanent residence at the Country Inn for the duration of Chapter IV.
