Quests

The Royale Apartments

Main quest.

Objective: 1. Find Coyote. 2. Keep Paco alive.

You'll start in the main building entrance. Your first task is to get information about the current location of Coyote.

Start with nice conversation with Sad Old Man [2] located on the left. Question him and you'll learn that Coyote is being kept on the building top floor.

Reward: None

Objective: Get to the Top Floor.

At this moment you have two possible paths: Main one, leading through the central elevator and the Rear one, leading through the Sad Old Man location. If you choose the main entrance, you'll encounter enemies sooner. When you enter through the rear entrance, you'll be able to get them from the back.

If you choose the main entrance, you'll have following options:

1. Move right away to the elevator, select the first option and then provoke the guy on the other side (You filthy dogs ...). In this way you'll start the fight. There are two opponents to defeat. First of them, Ryker, will come out from behind the door opposite to the elevator. Another one, Tranq, will get down with the elevator after the second turn. Once you deal with guards, pick up Royale Elevator Pass Code, left by the second enemy. Enter the code and go up with the elevator.

2. Another method is a bit more diplomatic. Approach Ryker [7] and select the second dialogue option. If you have Etiquette: Street or Intelligence 3, you can persuade him to give you the elevator code.

3. If you're lack in appropriate skills to persuade him, you can select the first dialogue option. Thanks to that you'll be able to attack him. Although you won't get the elevator code this way, you'll be able to use a computer [8] behind you. If you have Decking 3 you can hack into a system and get the elevator code. You can also select the second option (Recording Studio) and with Decking 2 download data from BTL. In this way you'll get additional option when you approach an elevator. Choose the one with an intercom and then third one with BTL.

4. Associated with a Symp's Son side quest. You have to get to the Recording Studio [9]. You can do it by choosing appropriate option at the computer (Recording Studio->Reboot studio software) or by taking the mentioned quest and talking to Ryker (See: Symp's Son). Once you get inside, click on the panel on the wall and download BTL file. Now follow steps presented in point 3.

If you choose the back entrance:

1. At the end of the conversation with Sad Old Man [2] you can persuade him to open the door leading to the second door (if you have Strength 4 or Charisma 4).

2. You can also do it yourself if you move the closet [3] located at the mentioned door. Two new possibilities will appear. If you have Drone Control skill and any drone, you can send it through the wall to open the door for you. Another method is to summon a Spirit (skull sign) if you have Spirit Summoning skill.

Reward: 3 KP

Symp's Son

Side quest.

Objective: Save the Man's Son

In order to start this quest, go to the long corridor located in front of the entrance. You'll witness a minor argument there. Go to the left, following the guy who got hit. His name is Symp [5]. Talk to him and he will tell you what happened to him and his son.

After accepting the quest you can take one small thing from the near room. There is Jazz in the room corner [6]. Pick it up and leave the apartment.

Symp's son is being kept in Recording Studio [9]. You can get there in two ways. First option - talk to Ryker [7]. Choose the third dialogue option - if you have Charisma 3, persuade him to let you inside. Then get rid of bandits. Another option is to get an access to the computer. First kill or scare off Ryker (See: The Royale Apartments) and then start the computer [8]. Choose Recording Studio option and then Reboot studio software. After a moment mad Tickler will appear. Get rid of him or let him flee and get inside. You'll encounter here tortured Zipper [10], Symp's son. Talk to him and then return to his father.

Reward: 1 KP
