[ACT II] How to kill a neutral ghost?

I am supposed to kill the ghost at the cemetary. But I cant because the gost is neutral (blue) and there is no way to hit him. Same goes for the dog quest of the gardener. ???

 

[st_ghost]

At night you can draw your sword. Use it to attack.

 

[Seeker.217]

There a quest to that one during the day in act 2 or 3 you run into the ghost's widdow and she will pay you for killig the neutral ghost

 

[petra_silie]

At night all out-door places are indicated as "dangerous" and you can attack dogs (isn't it the gravedigger with the dog quests?) But if you don't have a heart to kill dogs, take the challenge and check Granny's house (where Shani lives). She has one or two pots of dog lard in the trunks, cupboard, etc. But... Granny can be a pain in the neck, maybe you prefer to hunt the dogs instead

 

[ifayra]

The poor dogs :'(I went to all open houses and searched dog lard :angel:

 

[petra_silie]

My Geralt was young and needed the money, so he accepted the dog lard quest. I noticed... before he killed the dogs, they hardly responsed when he passed them. After he did the quest every dog at the templequarter snarled at Geralt even though he wasn't armed.Coincidence? :angel:

 

[iamsam]

really? I need to give that a try. See I tend to kill dogs straight away as dog lard is oddly enough worth 5 alchemy slots. They constantly respawn as well so free lard for my sword coatings. therefor I assumed that the dogs growl at you all the time anyway. interesting.

 

[planewalker]

The ghost cracked me up. Just listen to what it says:"I'm so coooold.""Where is my body?""My wife is a whore!"

 

[silver_gryphon]

I like that ghost, it's a good one I couldn't find the woman who wants me to kill it, so I thought 'I'll kill it first, and then go get my reward'. I wander over to the cemetary gate, and there's the ghost. Attacking a ghoul. Ghoul apparently didn't notice, but I only needed to swing at it once, and it fell over. I'm gonna keep that ghost around and see if it helps out when there's more than one around there ;D Bugger the orens, go Wraith!

 

[Edirr]

That wraith will take on all comers. I once watched it whack three or four ghouls around like they were nothing. Ghouls are also a good way of getting dog lard without being mean to the poor doggies. They will slaughter the dogs and you can pick up the lard afterward.

 

[petra_silie]

But isn't that the same as if you kill the dogs? ;D You watch how the monsters kill weaker dogs and don't move a limb to help the dogs ^__^btwIsn't tha strange? At night this haunted place is pretty dangerous. All kind *ahem* at least two... monsters species show up and slaugther every living thing. And just aroung the corner is a location of the Order, Guards and a commading officer patrol the road... but no one dares to take a look at the gravedigger's place at night?

 

[lovely_psycho]

Bah, I never got the chance to talk to the wraith When I blundered around that corner one night, there was a beastie up in that corner as well as the wraith. So out comes the sword and off I go, but one of those annoying upstart Order fellows had foolishly followed me. He was annoying because he thought he might have a poke at the ghoul too. Well, hmph, but I'm the monster slayer here, buddy!So I press my advantage and start whaling on this ghoul. Unfortunately for wraithy, his curiosity got the better of him and he thought he'd poke his nose at the fray to get a better look. Well, my sword must have clipped his nose, because he changed from blue to red and started whaling on me. And with that sudden and not entirely undeserved change of heart, I forfeited my chance at speaking with him Ghoul and wraith with nothing but a useless Order footsie on my side who seemed to harbour a suicidal tendency to try to get in the way of a witcher's blade. A witcher needs a drink after a night like that!

 

[Gamewidow]

he never says anything, so you missed nothing there, and the quest is still open to you if you have not completed the chapter ... just talk to Hildegard at noon near the cemetery gates

 

[Edirr]

But isn't that the same as if you kill the dogs? ;D You watch how the monsters kill weaker dogs and don't move a limb to help the dogs ^__^

Not really. Because by the time you manage to draw your sword, the poor doggie is already dead. You can't save them even if you want to.

 

[mardana]

About the "Nuetral Ghost" is there something more to this? I know his still living wife offers to pay you to slay it but, when I noticed it wasn't aggressive I assumed there was something more to this--like maybe fulfilling a quest for the ghost that would help him move on to the afterlifie. But all he says is I'm so cold, Where's my body?, & My wife's a ******! I thought maybe his wife paid to have him offed or something. :dead: Anyone know if there is more to it? ???Thanks fer response y'all

 

[Gamewidow]

nope, there is no "proof" you can bring her (even if he does drop ectoplasm sometimes) ... just tell her to be quiet and take your money also, he husband's ghost does always start as "neutral" (with a blue ring)

 

[Edirr]

If there is something more to it, I don't know what it is. You might have to wait until you get to the cemetery if there is an alternative, but probably not.

 

[Gamewidow]

He's not in the cemetery ..he only hangs around outside the gate

 

[Edirr]

He's not in the cemetery ..he only hangs around outside the gate

Yeah, I know that. What I meant is an alternative solution to killing him, but I think there isn't one. If there is one, it might be found in the cemetery, but I have no idea, as the only time I finished Chapter 2 I'd already killed him before going to the cemetery.

 

[Gamewidow]

there is no alternative to killing him if you want to compete that quest ... or put differently, the only alternative is NOT to complete that quest
