Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Fred's Demand: Head to the Oakmont Chronicle to research coded advertisements. The correct combination for the search is: Period - AFTER THE FLOOD, People - JOURNALISTS, Section - ADVERTISEMENTS, District - SALVATION HARBOR.
  2. 2
    Toothless Bob's Wake: After the research, you'll learn about a wake at the Seven Oaks Bar in Western Salvation Harbor. Go to the bar, located at the intersection of Calmshore St and Salvation Rd.
  3. 3
    Speak to the Bartender: At the Seven Oaks Bar, speak to the Bartender. Select the dialogue options: "I'm looking to leave the city.", "I came for Toothless Bob's wake.", "I worked for Throgmorton." (or "Maybe I can do you a favor?"), and finally "Farewell.".
  4. 4
    A Favor for the Bartender: The bartender will offer you a side mission to check on a late courier. The courier's last known location is Western Grimhaven Bay, Levi Coffin Ave, near the intersection with Marsh Ave.
  5. 5
    Courier's Final Destination: Travel to the location in Western Grimhaven Bay. Be prepared for Wylebeast encounters, including Stygians, Lethians, and Cocitians.

    Retrocognition: After collecting all evidence, use your Mind's Eye ability near the bottom of the stairs to trigger a vision.
Tips
  • When fighting Cocitians, aim for the bulges on their backs. Wait for them to lunge and then shoot the weak spot while they are recovering.
  • Be aware that Wylebeasts can spawn in hidden rooms, so remain vigilant even after clearing an area.
  • The courier's destination is near an infested area, but you can reach it by approaching from the northeast without entering the infested zone.
