Sephirot stones, found Raymond dead

[Ginseng]

according to the wiki you are supposed to get a sephirot stone from raymond somewhere near the tower or something right now i have 8 out of 10 stones and i know i get one from the golem so that just leaves the one from raymond to collect before i fight the golem, but i just found raymond dead sooooooooooooooo am i screwed?

I have the same problem. I haven't payed Raimond the 200 Orens for further studies and went to the graveyard. Now I can't speak with him any more (only for sleep) and the quest for the tower guides me to him.

I don't want to spoil anything, but it's a good thing you found dead Raymond. Ignore the Sephiroth stones quest for now and concentrate on the autopsy case and other sidequests in the meantime. Things will open up.

You will understand soon. The story is not as colorful but rather grim.

I have the same problem. I cleared all the suspects and found the body in the crypt. Since the autopsy quest is triggered by Raymond I can't do this either. Any ideas?

I don't have many sidequests left because I did most of them and the rest is either connected with the 10 stones or not. I have those quests from Chapter 2 left:
Lost Lamb (can only be solved in Ch. 3), Mysterious Tower, Restless Ghost (which I don't want to do, cause I like the ghost), Dice Poker, Monoliths, Vizima Confidential, Wanted

What should I do?

I'm pretty sure you need to collect all 9 stones before you have access to the 10th...

Got them. I started a new thread for my problem with more information:

Had this problem. Raymonds dead. Talked to "detective" he told me come back later. Meditated through a day and came back to "Raymond". Story progressed.

[Ginseng]

yeah raymond is already dead that guy you meet is an imposter.
