This quest comes really late in the game! It's on the same stage when you are ordered to go to the Great Wall Encampment on Stage 6.

The quest became available at the Union Inn after the Duke opened the treasure room where the Golden Bastard and Paladin Mantle are being held. In order for this quest to be opened, you must have already saved Wilhem at the carpenters hut in Gran Soren by using the wakestone on him at the very beginning of the game, as he will be the NPC that you will be escorting to the Healing Spring (near Manse) in order to receive the Golden Claw.

I also raised his affinity to make the "chime" sound by giving him random presents now and again, but I'm not to sure if this made any difference to the quest becoming available. I also didn't max it any further.
