Wanted is the quest which follows the witcher as he pursues the Professor, trying to avenge Leo's untimely death at the hands of the cruel assassin.

Walkthrough

Wanted! the Professor

The quest begins when Geralt finds an arrest warrant for the Professor on the Notice board outside the Inn in the Outskirts and ends with the Professor's death in bowels the Salamandra base. There is no guesswork in this quest, all advancements are a result of other (often seemingly unrelated) quests.

Notes

In the phase about the reward offered for Salamander badges, despite having already met Declan Leuvaarden in Act I, you won't be able to hand in the badges until you get the information from the messenger which confirms that Leuvaarden is indeed the person paying for the badges. To get this information from the messenger, drink with him. He's a lightweight, you'll only need 5 beers.

Phases

The Professor

I found an arrest warrant for the Professor - the man responsible for the assault on Kaer Morhen and for Leo's death. If the Professor is a wanted man, Salamandra must have enemies. Any enemy of my enemy is my friend... I should talk to the city guards in Vizima, see if they can't help me contact the Professor's foes. Maybe I can find the Professor's enemies by speaking to some of the city guards in Vizima.

The Professor

I saw them release a criminal, the Professor, from the city jail... That bastard is responsible for the assault on Kaer Morhen and for Leo's death. If the Professor was arrested, Salamandra must have enemies. Any enemy of my enemy is my friend... I should talk to the jailer Jethro. Maybe he can help me contact the Professor's foes.

A Reward for Brooches

It seems a mysterious, wealthy man is offering a reward for Salamandra brooches. Clearly, the gang got on his bad side. Jethro told me I can find this individual's messenger every evening at the inn. I should talk to him. I should speak to the messenger if the man who rewards people for killing Salamanders. I'll meet him tonight at the Hairy Bear.

The Messenger

Geralt with the messenger, at the Hairy Bear

As it turns out, the messenger is working for Leuvaarden. I should speak to the merchant. They say he can usually be found on the Dike. I may be about to gain an ally in my fight against Salamandra...

The Brooches

Leuvaarden is cautious. I should convince him that Salamandra is my enemy, too. Maybe then he'll be frank with me. I must bring him three Salamander brooches. The easiest way to get them is by helping their owners leave this world...

The Brooches

I have the brooches I promised Leuvaarden, collected off of Salamander bandits.

A Reward for the Brooches

I brought Leuvaarden the brooches. It seems the merchant is a fierce enemy of Salamandra. He promised me a nice sum if I dismantle the organization. I suspect he may not be acting alone, but I don't really care as long as he helps. I'll wait for his next move.

Working with Leuvaarden

It seems Leuvaarden issued the warrant for the Professor's arrest. The merchant promised me a nice sum if I deal with Salamandra. I suspect he may not be acting alone, but that doesn't matter as long as he helps. I'll wait for Leuvaarden's next move.

The Professor's Death

The Professor is dead. Two options: dead or alive. I chose the former. This hardly ends my battle against Salamandra, though...
