Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for 'The Road to Baldur's Gate' in Schedule I. Learn how to start the game, rent a motel room, buy equipment, and plant your first seeds.
Walkthrough
- 1Starting the Game: After character customization, you spawn near the bus station. Open your phone ('Tab') and read the message from 'Unknown' to start the 'Getting Started' quest. Go to the payphone to meet 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson), who instructs you to retrieve his stash near the skatepark. You'll find $375.
- 2Renting a Motel Room: Speak to the motel manager, Donna. The quest updates to 'Rent a motel room'. After the dialogue, you can pickpocket Donna to steal back the $75 needed for the room. Enter room 1 to complete the quest. Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.
- 3Buying Equipment: A new questline, 'Gearing Up', begins. Head to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by following the road left from your room). At the store, deposit your cash at the ATM and purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can. It's also recommended to buy 'Plant Trimmers', a 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies' for the next quest. If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may give you 'Speed Grow'. Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and fill the pot with soil. Speak to Uncle Nelson at the payphone again.
- 4Planting your First Seeds: Uncle Nelson introduces Albert Hoover. Check your phone for a message from Albert. To order seeds, select 'I need to order a [dead drop]'. Purchase 'OG Kush' seeds. Albert will deliver them to a highlighted [dead drop] location. Pay off your tab by placing cash in the [dead drop] behind the hardware store. Sow the seed in the grow tent by holding the seed and pressing 'E'. Water the plant using the watering can, filling it at the sink first. Sleeping after watering helps plants grow faster and conserves water.
- 5Packaging: Once the plant is harvested using the 'Plant Trimmers', place down the 'Packaging Station'. Use the interface to pack buds into baggies. You can also unpack weed if needed. Jars can also be purchased at the hardware store for storage.
Tips
- You can change your appearance in the game files or at shops like the barbershop and clothing shop in the full game.
- Speed-runners often open the motel room door and step inside briefly to complete the quest quickly.
- Depositing all cash at the ATM is safer as you won't lose it if caught by police or if you die.
- Holding shift while grabbing items from storage allows you to grab the entire stack.
- Buying a trash grabber and trash bag can help manage trash and potentially earn some cash.
- OG Kush is recommended for its ease of use in creating better products later on.
- Sleeping after watering plants maximizes growth and saves time.
