  4. 4
    District: SALVATION HARBOR
  5. 5
    Investigate Seven Oaks Bar: The research points to the Seven Oaks Bar in Western Salvation Harbor (Calmshore St and Salvation Rd). Speak to the Bartender. Choose the dialogue options:
    • 'I'm looking to leave the city.'

    'I came for Toothless Bob's wake.'

  9. 9
    The Bartender's Favor: The bartender offers a side mission to check on a late courier. The destination is Western Grimhaven Bay, Levi Coffin Ave, near Marsh Ave. Approach from the northeast to avoid infested areas.

Tips
  • When fighting Cocitians, wait for them to lunge, dodge, and then shoot the bulges on their backs.
  • Be aware that Wylebeasts can spawn in hidden or boarded-up rooms, even after initial clearing.
  • The illusory wall in the basement hides whiskey bottles.
