GWENT: Where to find Thaler?

[Zyy]

Where do you find Thaler to get the Geralt gwent card?

SOLUTION: Got the card awhile back, you find Thaler from a quest given to you by Djisktra at the end of the Triss Merigold Novigrad quest chain. You'll know when you get the quest as you have to go to the Passiflora (fancy brothel) to see Djisktra. The gwent quest for the card is called 'Gwent: Playing Thaler' NOT Old Friends or Old Pals like the online guides say.

If you finish the quests without winning his card, you can find him at the Seven Cats Inn outside Novigrad. However, due to the different possible endings (i.e. if you start or fail the next quest in the chain), I advise people to immediately play Thaler by his wagon at the end of the quest in order to avoid any problems.

Unless something has changed since I got all the cards 2 weeks ago he's not actually part of Old Pals, despite the online guides saying he is. He has his own quest called 'Gwent: Playing Thaler'. It does get a bit confusing as Roche mentions him in the Old Pals quest, but he's not actually a part of it.

Thaler doesn't appear in the game until you complete the first part of the assassination mission where you find him in the troll cave. As far as I know, you HAVE to do this first part. Once you complete that part you can talk to him immediately after the mission to get the card, or go to the seven cats in and wait for him to eventually turn up there. You do not have to do the second quest in the chain (actually killing the king) to get the card and you can fail this step if you want. If you want the king to live, simply find Thaler and then ignore the second quest. How did you fail the quest? It's possible for Thaler to die and make it impossible to ever get his card.

Due to the different possible endings, I advise people to immediately play Thaler by his wagon at the end of the quest in order to avoid any problems.

Thank you! This explains everything I wanted to know, pretty much. Bah, I did miss it. I'd shell out 20k Crowns for that card lol, but don't want to cheat it in because it doesn't count towards the achievement.

I've finished the Deadly Plot quest and freed Thaler. I'm ready to begin Reason of State, but I have to get the card first. Thaler is NOT at the Inn at all. I can only find him at the Reason of State warehouse where the quest begins, but cannot talk to him.

If I refuse the quest and make it fail, then I can go find him at the inn and challenge him for the card. But I want to make the quest. Is there a way to challenge Thaler during Reason of State ? Or another way to get the card ?
