Dice Poker- the invention of dwarves, which quickly became popular in all sectors of society. The goal of the game is to collect a combination of dice of greater denomination than that of the opponent. The game consists of three rounds and goes up to two wins. The winner takes all the money from the bank, which is formed during the game by two opponents. The game is conditionally divided into two phases: in the first phase, the player receives a set of five dice, in the second, he rolls any number of dice or leaves the combination that fell out in the first throw. In the intervals between rounds, opponents make bets, the size of which depends on the experience and size of the opponent's wallet.
Geralt's experience in The Witcher will grow gradually, and each next opponent will be stronger than the previous one. Players are divided into beginners, professionals and sharpers. By winning his last game, Geralt will become a legend. The basics of the game will be taught by Zoltan Chivay in a village tavern near Vizima, he will also become the first opponent. Before him, you can brag about your successes at each new stage. To start playing poker you will need set of dice, picked up from the bodies of the murdered racists during the liberation of Zoltan Khivai near the river, a little further than the Reverend's house in the first chapter. Before each game, it is better to save so as not to lose money and not be nervous over trifles.

Preface.
From the game The Witcher to a further sequel, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, not so much passed. The combat system, the old BioWare's engine and, of course, the cards depicting the results of Geralt's numerous love affairs (the number of which, by the way, Dandelion could envy ..) were left far behind. What else is left in the first part of the gaming saga about the white-haired witcher, Geralt of Rivia, the Butcher of Blaviken? Of course, rings are an attribute both for personal use and perfect as a gift for a noble aristocrat from Vizima's Merchant Quarter, and for a simple girl from the village of Temnovodye.
Ring with the seal of the Eternal Flame.
Perhaps this is the only ring that we get in the story, in the First Chapter. It will be given to us by the chaplain of the Eternal Flame, after we complete his quest "Light in the Night". According to the plot of the quest, Geralt will have to light a "sacred fire" in five chapels surrounding the Vyzim Suburbs. After we complete the quest, we will receive a ring confirming that we are acting with the consent and support of the clergyman. This ring is applied to such quest characters as the rich man Odo, the merchant (and part-time havenkar) Haren Brogg and the guard Mikula, guarding the entrance to Vizima from the side of the Merchants' Gate.
Ring with the seal of the Prophet Lebeda.
We can get this ring in the Second Chapter, in the Temple Quarter of Vizima. During our investigation, we will meet a man like Thaler, who is a buyer of stolen goods. In addition to the questions that will interest Geralt in the story, it will also be possible to play dice with Thaler (Level: professional) and offer to check whose liver is stronger (who will drink whom). We are interested in the second option, so we boldly begin our alcohol competition. After the victory, Thaler will give us the book "People of the Shadow" telling us about the Secret Services of Redania. It can also be read for a general understanding of the lore of the universe. However, do not rush to sell the book, because it can be exchanged much more profitable with the Shoe Shiner. You can find him near Detective Raymond Marlowe's house, usually under the archway leading to Swan's Asylum. In addition to the profitable exchange of goods for us, we can talk with him on many topics. He's pretty knowledgeable for a common vagrant. By offering him Thaler's book, we learn that he is a former Redan spy. In gratitude, he gives us the ring of the Prophet Cygnus. As for me, this is the most useful ring in the game, because it is with the help of this ring that we can easily negotiate with the "nice" old woman who rents a room to Shani. Granny will take us for a servant of the Prophet Lebeda and ask Geralt to direct Shani "on the path of faith and prayer."
Ring with the seal of the city guard.
We will also receive this ring in the Second Chapter. To get it, we need to complete the quest "Suspect: Vincent". To do this, we need to prove Vincent's innocence. Heading to the warehouse in the slums of the Temple Quarter at night, we will interrupt the Captain's meeting with the Salamanders. During the dialogue, Geralt can play along with the Captain of the Guard, or he can accuse him of colluding with the Salamanders. In any case, the case will end in a fight in which Geralt will kill the bandits. After some time, after talking with Vincent, we learn that he is conducting his own investigation. Immediately on the spot we tell him that he is innocent and in gratitude for such a clever conclusion, he will give us a ring with the seal of the city guard. Later, with the help of this ring, we will be able to get to the Swan's Hospital.
Ring with the seal of the House of Night.
We will receive the ring with the seal of the House of Night in the Third Chapter, at a reception at Leuvaarden in New Narakort. At a secular reception at the merchant, we will meet several familiar faces: Ipat Velerad, Triss, Princess Adda, and also, to the surprise of Geralt, we will meet Thaler. The Fencer appears at the reception, along with the knight Erkin von Blanten, as his representative. The knight took a vow to remain silent and protect the royal family, as well as many other vows that Thaler preferred not to talk about. To get the coveted ring, we must wait until Thaler moves away from the knight, then try to get him drunk. If this works out for us, then we will find out that the knight turns out to be an agent of Thaler. In exchange for silence, he gives Geralt a ring. This ring gives you a 50% discount at Temeria's most elite brothel, the House of Night. It also makes the Blue Eyed Girl quest a little easier. In order not to spoil such an interesting quest, I’ll just say that with the help of the ring we can not only get a discount, but also do without a fight with the guard of this institution, simply by showing him the ring of a “regular” customer.
It all starts with the fact that you will see how a girl and a boy run away from mad dogs. According to the classics of the genre, the girl stumbles in front of the very closing gate and does not have time to run into the defending fortress. And people refuse to meet her. Creatures, I can not say anything more about these people. Yes, I did not think that the witcher passage would be so cruel. Although, if you remember the book, then there is nothing to be surprised at. Only one merchant is eager to save the girl. Well, we won't be left behind. After killing all the dogs, you will see how the boy, Alvin, prophesies. And the Beast, the leader of the mad dogs, will retreat. Right there, Shani, the girl who met us, will tell us about dogs and a man with a salamander icon on his face. Talk to her about everything, and she will tell you that the Salamanders are a criminal organization that is particularly cruel. Okay, we'll deal with her. Otherwise, how can we continue the witcher passage without finding the robbers of our house? Finish the dialogue with Shani and collect the trophies left after the battle.
After that, go to the tavern and take all the tasks from the notice board. We will need both the money and the experience that we get. Go inside, if you have a starting capital of 25 gold coins, talk to fist fighters who can be beaten and earn money. Keep in mind that throughout the witcher passage you will have to look for more and more powerful opponents. This is one of the long quests in the game. The innkeeper Olaf for 5 gold can tell us an interesting story that does not interfere with our plot in any way. He can also leave some things for storage. Here sits the Antiquarian, from whom you can buy many different books. But they are not essential for us. If you want, you can have a drink with a local drunkard. When you're done entertaining, go outside.
I advise you to wander at night in order to collect the required number of skulls from the corpses of dogs. Although, of course, the witcher passage will not leave us without trophies. And there will be more than enough skulls. When you collect 10 skulls, go to Abigail, who must turn in the task. Before entering the door, a sick person is lying around, who is shouting something about a cursed witch. Okay it does not matter. Come inside. There is a very pretty witch, who is required to hand over the task. Ask about her products, but do not rush to buy something. Until you need it. When you finish talking to her uselessly - search her house, take everything you need, and go outside. Do not forget that during the witcher passage you will have to read many books in order to improve your knowledge of alchemy, and in general, you should collect knowledge about the world. Now go to the inn. There, still outside the fence, you will meet Rita, a waitress from a tavern, who wants to be raped by several bandits. I decided to protect Rita, after all, a man after all. After the death of all creatures, agree to take Rita home to her grandmother and go to a new mark on the map.
As soon as you bring her to the village, you will start a dialogue in which you can persuade her to meet you again. It's understandable why. In the witcher passage, it sometimes seems that Geralt only needs girls for sex. Tomorrow, after sunset, we must come to the old mill with wine. Okay, let's go. In the meantime, let's fulfill the contract for drowners, which we took from the bulletin board. To do this, go south, along the road that goes around the impassable part from the east. When you reach the bridge, go down to the river. I advise you to move along the river to the west, collecting along the way the brains of drowners from the producers of this product themselves. As you approach Haren Brogg's house, you will witness an interesting scene. Several racists want to shave off the dwarf's beard. Yes perishing, excellent people we decided to protect. And this time, the passage of the witcher game makes you doubt whether it is worth saving those who independently cope with their own destruction. I decided that it was worth helping the dwarf fight off the racists, especially with five of us for one - this is not fair. After all the villains are dead, talk to Zoltan, who will turn out to be your old friend. Too bad we have amnesia. Well, okay, ask him about everything, get the first mention of "Proteins" - a semi-criminal organization of non-humans who are fighting for their rights. HM interesting. The only question is how they do it. I think it's clearly not Robin Hood. After that, I propose to rest until sunset, in order to then go to the beauty at the old mill. The mill is marked on the map, so don't get lost. There, give the wine to Rita, who is already waiting for you. Great, now you have another card for another girl. How nice, however. But it's time to move on. We go to the reverend. His house is marked on the map, and is located not far from the bridge to Vizima. That's why it's easy to get there. But the Reverend is screaming for us to perish. And he tells an interesting story about another witcher. Berengar, who had already come to the village and promised to destroy the Beast. Yes, but he did not fulfill his promises. The reverend will also give us a task to light candles for that night in all five chapels around the village. Surely you have come across these chapels in your travels. So agree, especially since they pay us 100 gold for this. Turn in the quest to kill utopians and leave the reverend's house. As soon as you leave the house, you should notice that you have five marks on the map. That's what they need to burn. Okay, let's go in order. Just wait until midnight. It is not difficult to run along the road, so go ahead. Sometimes the passage of the witcher game makes us perform obviously useless actions. Although, of course, for a priest they are not. But let's leave him to his own delusions.
When all five chapels are completed, you will have a record that lighting candles did not help drive away the ghosts. Go to the Reverend and report to him about the completion of this task. Get your 100 gold and listen to new nonsense that the Beast was set on by the witch Abigail. Hm. And why don't I believe it? Anyway. Let's go to her and talk heart to heart. But before that, talk to the Reverend about people who wear Salamander badges. He will say that it is necessary not only to gain confidence, but also to win over three respected people from the village. And he will give us the ring of eternal fire, so that we would be believed in the village. Okay, we'll deal with that later. First - to the Witch.
And here we are with her. And she has our old friend - the boy Alvin. What a kind witch ... It's rare to find such kind characters in the passage of the witcher game. But come on, talk to her. She will say that Alvin can give us information about the Beast, but for this it is necessary to bring five petals of the needle Myrtle. You picked it up along the way, didn't you? Give her the petals and go on other tasks while she prepares the potion. For example, let's go to Odo's. His house is in the south, and he is marked on the map. When you go inside, talk to the drunken fat man. You will also have to drink with him, but oh well. Show him the Reverend's ring and... again you will have to drink and drink with him, bargaining. And you will have to bargain for the destruction of carnivorous plants. Doing it while drunk… hmm, interesting. In general, deal with fresh flowers that spit quite painfully at you. There are only two of them, so it won't be a problem. After the kill, go into the house and take the reward. After that, I advise you to rest for one hour, so that the hops pass.
Now we are going to Mikula, in order to earn more and his respect. You can find him near the northwest gate to Vizima. And he will ask neither more nor less, but to exterminate the ghouls in the crypt. Great, now we'll head to the crypt to exterminate some ghouls. Open the map, find the location "Crypt" and go there. Along the way, you should collect everything you can from plants, in order to help yourself a little with the ingredients later. Before entering the crypt, you will come across a place of Power. Carry out any ritual you need. For example, the ritual of life significantly speeds up health regeneration. Spent? Okay, now let's go inside the crypt. Inside you will see the corpse of a woman, which attracted the ghouls. Recommending you to use the "Cat" potion to see in the dark. After clearing the crypt and using another circle of stones, which will give you another magic sign, you can return to Mikula with a report. But when you arrive at the gate, you will find several Salamanders terrorizing the alchemist. Hmm, help the sufferer. Especially since you don't have a choice. After that, give the task to the Alchemist Kalkstein, get your reward. Then - the same thing in Mikula.
So, we won the trust of two residents. Now you can go to the third. This is where you saved Zoltan, remember? In any case, the mark is on the map. Go inside and talk to Haren. You can buy a piece of a blue meteorite from him. And you may not buy. Talk to him about the services of the Witcher and ask him about the box of dice from the crypt. You found her there, didn't you? Then leave the house You are separated from the mission by 8 drowners. And then a scoiatael will speak to you. Representative "protein", you guessed it. What will you choose? Give him the goods - or kill them? I remember that I am not a knight in shining armor, but only a witcher, a monster slayer. I will not give them the product. After the death of all Scoyataels, go to Haren's house. Take your money and get new information about the Salamanders.
Now go to Abigail and listen to what Alvin will tell us under the influence of the potion. And Alvin will tell us that the Beast arose from human shortcomings - anger, lust, greed ... a good opponent, right? Now it's time to go to the reverend and tell him everything you've learned. When you come to him, talk to him. He will send us to the tavern, where Olaf must take the key to his old house. In the tavern you will find a crowd of men who want to rape Shani. When the attackers are dead, you will learn that Shani is going to Vizima. And after that you will see the corpse of the innkeeper. Take the key from his body and go outside. Open the diary and mark the task on the map. After that - move west to the Salamander's house.
In front of the entrance you will be met by two of the salamanders, killing which is not the slightest difficulty. Next, go inside and repeat the act of violent killing with those inside. Collect trophies and inspect the hatch. Do these boxes look like anything? Get down. And there are already Alvin and other children. Okay, talk to the Salamanders and kill them. Then Alvin will come up to you and say that the Reverend himself sent him to an abandoned house. Well, aren't you a bastard? Okay, let's leave it. We need to get the kids out of the cave. Break the wall near which Alvin is standing and go forward. In the next cave you will meet Abigail, who will tell you many, many interesting things. And Abigail asks to protect her. And… you can agree to get to know Abigail better. Although I didn’t like her card, it’s good for the collection. After the bed scene, go to the exit. And there is already an angry crowd waiting for you. "Burn, witch, burn!" Yes, people are ugly. I didn't give them to Abigail. Never! Naturally, they will be frightened of the witcher and will not touch Abigail. It's time to go hunting for the Beast. He will not hesitate to show us. And now he won't run away from us! Killing him is easy, nothing special is needed. As soon as the Beast is dead, a crowd of people will appear, led by the reverend. They will also have to be killed. Make sure they don't kill Abigail. Killing them with a group style is not the slightest difficulty. Collect trophies, including a pass from the body of the reverend. Okay, now let's go to the tavern and get Shani.
