Complete walkthrough for The Elfsong Tavern quest in Schedule I. Learn how to start the game, rent a motel room, buy equipment, plant seeds, and package your first harvest.
Walkthrough
- 1Starting the Game: After a cutscene and character customization, you spawn near a bus station. Follow the "Getting Started" quest by checking your phone ('Tab') and going to the payphone to meet "U.N." (Uncle Nelson). He directs you to collect his stash near the skatepark, yielding $375.
- 2Renting a Motel Room: Speak to Donna, the motel manager. The quest updates to "Rent a motel room." After dialogue, you can pickpocket Donna to retrieve the $75 needed for the room. Enter room 1 to complete the objective. Return to Uncle Nelson at the payphone.
- 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). Deposit your cash at the ATM. Purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can from Dan. It's also recommended to buy "Plant Trimmers," a "Packaging Station," and 10 "Baggies." Optionally, buy a trash grabber and a "Trash bag" to manage waste. 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.
- 4Planting your First Seeds: Talk to Uncle Nelson again, who 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. Your first order is quick; subsequent orders take longer. Debts are paid via dead drops. Sow the seed in the grow tent by pressing 'E' when prompted. Water the plant using the watering can (fill it at the sink). The plant grows quickly; sleeping after watering can optimize growth and conserve water.
- 5Packaging: Once the plant is harvested using the plant trimmers, place down the "Packaging Station." Interact with it to package the buds into baggies. You can also unpack items. Jars can be purchased at the hardware store for storage.
Tips
- Speed-runners can open the motel room door and immediately step inside to complete the objective 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 take the entire stack. Right-clicking and scrolling adjusts the amount.
- Sleeping after watering plants optimizes growth and prevents water waste.
- "OG Kush" is recommended for its ease and cost-effectiveness in creating better products later.
Completing these initial steps provides cash, essential equipment for growing, and progresses the main questline.
