I have done this whole long quest with my Summoner and went ok, got the weapon.

However with my Dark Mage something is wrong. I have done all of the quest, was ok till seeing Gerold after the Hydra.
After that have to do (according to lists on line)

Bowl of Embers Hard
The Howling Eye Hard
The Navel Hard
and now supposedly go to Geralt but he is red and does not want to see me

What is wrong?
Please help
