Complete walkthrough for 'The Death Knight' quest in Schedule I. Learn how to start the game, rent a motel room, buy equipment, plant seeds, and package your first harvest.
Walkthrough
- 1Character Creation & Spawn: After a short cutscene, customize your character. You will spawn in front of the bus station across from the motel.
- 2'Getting Started' Quest: Open your phone ('Tab' key), read messages. A message from 'Unknown' directs you to a payphone to meet 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson).
- 3Fetch Stash: Uncle Nelson instructs you to retrieve his stash near the skatepark, located on a ledge by the motel road. You will find $375.
- 4Rent Motel Room: Speak to the motel manager, Donna, in the house next to the motel. The quest updates to 'Rent a motel room'. After dialogue, you can pickpocket Donna to steal back the $75 needed for the room.
- 5Check Motel Room: Go to room labeled '1' and step inside to complete the quest objective.
- 6Return to Payphone: Speak to Uncle Nelson again at the payphone.
- 7'Gearing Up' Questline: A new questline begins. Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by walking forward from your room until the road ends, then turning left).
- 8Hardware Store Purchases: You will receive quests to deposit cash at the ATM and purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can. It's recommended to also buy 'Plant Trimmers', 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies'. Optionally, buy a trash grabber and 'Trash bag'. If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may gift you 'Speed Grow'.
- 9Deposit Cash & Setup: Deposit all cash at the ATM for safety. Back in your motel room, place the grow tent and add soil to the pot using the watering can.
- 10Return to Uncle Nelson: Speak to Uncle Nelson at the payphone again.
- 11Meet Albert Hoover & Order Seeds: Uncle Nelson introduces Albert Hoover. Check your phone for a message from Albert. Message him to order seeds; 'OG Kush' is the basic option. Place your order.
- 12Retrieve Seeds: Albert will deliver the seeds to a highlighted 'dead drop' location around the city. The first delivery is quick; subsequent ones take about 4 in-game hours. You do not pay immediately; debts are put on a tab.
- 13Pay Tab: Pay your tab by placing cash in the dead drop behind the hardware store.
- 14Sow and Water Seed: Retrieve the seeds from the dead drop. Go to your grow tent and sow the seed by pressing 'E' when prompted while holding the seed. Water the plant using the watering can (fill it at the sink).
- 15Plant Growth & Sleep: The plant grows about 15% per in-game hour. Sleeping after watering is efficient, as it advances plant growth and prevents water waste.
- 16Harvesting: Once the plant is fully grown, use the 'Plant Trimmers' on the grow tent to harvest the buds.
- 17Packaging: Place down the 'Packaging Station'. Interact with it to package the buds into baggies using the 'Packaging Station' interface. You can also unpack items if needed.
Tips
