Hubert’s Fine Goods

Olaf’s Armory

Korval’s Blades

Robes by Jean Luc

Return to Hubert and tell him you’re ready. During the interrogation choose diplomatic options and promise to take care of his family to get the location of the stolen goods. After another scene you are taken to a different area where you must fight. After the battle check the corpse and chest for Persuasion then head to Darktown. Approach Lilley’s body and then either kill the Coterie or inform them you didn’t do it.

Enter Brekker’s Hideout where you will engage against numerous Thugs. Disarm the trap - standard that seperates you from them before attacking. Loot the barrel at the top of the steps and follow the path north to find a Coterie Alchemist and more Thugs. Defeat the Alchemist first for an easier battle then disarm the trap - standard before ascending the stairs. At the top loot the crate for Design: Rune of Spirit and make your way to the next room.
