Need help with 'A Small Grave Matter' in The Outer Worlds? This guide walks you through finding Conrad, Ludwig, Phyllis, and Abernathy to settle Silas's debts.
Alright, let's tackle this quest for Silas. It's called 'A Small Grave Matter,' and it's all about collecting some outstanding debts. We'll need to track down four people who owe Silas money. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward!
Walkthrough
- 1Conrad's Gravesite Fees: Your first stop is Conrad Sadik, who you'll find in Edgewater's barber shop. When you bring up the money he owes Silas, he'll claim he's broke. Suggest giving Silas an IOU, and he'll say he has nothing valuable to give. To sort this out, head into the back room of the barber shop. Look for a clipboard on a table; it'll mention that a Spacer's Choice asset named Eugene had golden teeth he took to the grave. Go back to Conrad and use a [Persuade 1] check. You can suggest using Eugene's teeth as collateral. After some convincing, he'll agree to this plan.
- 2Ludwig's Gravesite Fees: Next up is Ludwig Miller. He's not in Edgewater itself, but patrolling the northwestern edge of the Edgewater landing pad. When you demand Silas's due, he'll go on about some robot conspiracy. After that, you'll have a chance to pass a [Lie 5] check. It won't get you much in terms of Bits, but the XP is a nice bonus, and hey, it's a victimless crime, right?
- 3Phyllis's Gravesite Fees: Phyllis Granger works in the saltuna cannery. You'll usually find her on a walkway overlooking the factory floor. Ask her about the gravesite fees, and she'll hand over what she owes Silas. It's pretty painless, but she'll also share some backstory about the fee, which really highlights the grim corporate dystopia strangling Edgewater.
- 4Abernathy's Gravesite Fees: Abernathy lives in his house, located northeast of the constable's office. When you demand his gravesite fees, he'll surprisingly pay up without much of a fuss. It's a shame not all of them are this easy!
- 5Return to Silas: Once you've collected money from all four delinquents, head back to Silas. Ask him about Eugene, and he'll mention that the body seems to have gone missing – something to keep an eye out for later. More importantly, hand over the fees you collected to satisfy Silas. You can then pass a [Persuade 6] check to wrangle some extra Bits out of him. You also have the option to tattle on Abernathy's illness, but it doesn't seem to lead to anything significant.
Tips
- Keep an eye out for Eugene's missing body; it might be important later!
- Don't forget to try for those extra Bits with the [Persuade 6] check with Silas.
