Well, the conditions triggering various stages of this quest are most probably not set and/or not designed properly. In the best (?) case they may be quite arbitrary.

After talking to the brothel nurse I was sent to the cliff house, which shows two quest markers (inside and on the beach). Nothing there (11 PM and later). The basement entrance is there, but it cannot be opened or Aard-ed; the medallion does not make it glow (it also has an invisible collision box on top). The quest giver has nothing to say, neither has the nurse.

The end? Or maybe I'm missing something?

It's been a while, but I seem to remember visiting the gravestones near the house first, before entering the basement. As far as the beach goes, I seem to recall they showed up at 1 am.

That said, I had no issues with the quest, so didn't really take the time to memorize exactly what I did.
Well, it is bugged. I wanted to help the specter, because I believed it, the specter killed the guy and attacked me, why did the quest "failed"? It would be way better if it was successful but with alternative ending. At the end you got rid of the specter anyway, so it should have been an alternative ending of a quest. Not nice and shiny but nevertheless.
I couldn't get this quest to work properly, until I realized there is a fourth tombstone. I didn't see it at all

Positioned like this

1 2 3

4

where the numbers represent the tombstone's placement in the graveyard

It failed because the quest was to help the guy you just killed.

Then why the quest in the chapter 1 is considered successful if I feed two guys to another specter? That quest was also to help them, so your logic doesn't work here.

He didn't kill the guy , he told the guy " the specter said you are a murderer" or something , i did the same the 1st time i told him that like a question i wanted to see his answer not to kill the guy...then the guy just ran , i have no magic powers yet to see that the dude went to fight the wraith..anyway i already finished the game, just waiting for the patch to play again :)

EDIT: i understand the sarcasm now sorry english is not my main languaje as you can see lol sorry :p

Kinda figured out the specter was the 'bad guy' but helped her either ways.
A shame it just resorted to me killing the demon.
Would have been cool if it had some relevant consequences.
God damn it Mavrick. God damn it. Now I have a failed quest.

Didn't see that coming. At all. Anyway out of curiosity, was there any way at all to tell that Mavrick is innocent for certain. I mean in both The Witchers there are just too many cases where people turn out to be guilty. Sure, I find those necromancy notes but heck the specter's original story (designed to deceive) would make sense. Maybe there is a clue in the number of specters that showed up?

Yes, it was very possible.

3 spectors. 4 gravestones.

Still did both sides anyways, hoping for a three...er foursome. ;p

I see.

Foursome with spectres? No thanks.

I prefer witcher-and-striga style. Mmhmm. Mmhmm. Nuh-uh.

C'mon. Those spectres where pretty hot.
I cannot open the hatch? :((

I talked to maverick, talk to the whore, then head to hut at 11pm, use the medallion to hightlight things, then check the grave-yard. (should have checked the graveyard first ??)

Still cannot open the door. I see it there, but cannot open it? Look like a few people have that problem as well

When you checked the gy, did you check the fourth gravestone?
