During the quest, come up with a plan with Vojta to return a large order from the monastery. Find out about the rival's fears and help the master create a scary costume by collecting all the necessary parts. The new clothes and a short performance will help scare Krasek, make him think about the sins he committed, and most importantly, go on a long penitential pilgrimage.
Ask about Krasek in the bathhouse
Vojta told me that Krasek lives in the city baths near the stables in the southwest of the city. Go there and talk to the owner of the establishment, Beata. The girl spends the whole day at the table in her tavern.
Ask Beata about the artist Bellissimo and you will understand that the landlady is not happy with such a guest. To find out all the necessary information from her without skill checks, choose the following lines:
- "He stole my friend's job."
- "And how does Bellissimo beat them?"
- "Where can I find Bellissimo?"
- "Where is Bellissimo's room?"
Along the way, you can get her to talk about Vojta. If you one of the two difficult skill checks for Persuasion or Impression, you can learn part of the story of her friendship with Krasek and gain some reputation.
Search Krasek's room
The bathhouse's living quarters are on the second floor. The door there is locked with a light lock, but the maids are constantly walking up and down the stairs during the day, so they can easily prevent a break-in. To get inside, choose one of two ways:
- Wait until night and sneak into the room while everyone is sleeping.
- Pay Beata for a full set of bath services, then you will be automatically transferred to one of the rooms.
The second method is much simpler and accessible to everyone, since the bathhouse services are inexpensive.
Wait until the girl leaves the room and go up the wooden stairs to the floor above.
Krasek's chambers are on the right, when you approach the desired door, you will be able to examine it with "L Alt". Hold the button and Henry will comment on the smell of fumes near it. The door is not locked, so you can just go inside.
There is nothing remarkable or valuable in the room. Examine the chest of drawers by the entrance and read the note lying on it.
If you sneak into the room at night, you can catch Bellissimo sleeping and kill him. In this case, return to Voite and tell him that the enemy has disappeared. The quest will be considered completed, but the unique items that can be obtained in the process will not be available.
Return to tell Voita everything you learned in the bathhouse. Having learned that Krasek is very afraid of hellish torments, the artist will come up with a plan for which he needs to find several items in the vicinity of the city.
Find a bascinet with a visor
Collecting all the materials for the devil costume is not so easy, because its main detail is an expensive element of plate armor - a bascinet with a visor. If you do not have such a helmet yet, you will have to buy it for several thousand groschen, find it or steal it.
The easiest option is to steal a helmet from the armorer's shop in the central square:
- Go to the merchant's shop and wait until midnight. Go around the place and find the door leading to the backyard with the forge. It is never locked.
- Run forward until you reach the entrance to the armorer's shop. It has no doors.
- Go inside and take it Italian Bascinet from the counter.
You can steal the helmet last, so as not to risk carrying the stolen item around the city while you collect the rest of the materials.
Collect eggs
Eggs are for sale at bakers and grocers, marked with a pretzel and beetroot icon on the map. Select the nearest merchant and buy 5 from him for a small price.
Get some torches
torches, most likely, are already in the inventory, but if you suddenly run out, you can buy them from any merchant. If you don't want to run around the shops, you can look for bandits outside the city. You can almost always find a torch on their bodies.
Steal booze from Krasek
Once you have collected everything you need, return to Voite and craft a devil costume. If you give him the helmet you are currently wearing, you will be left without a headdress for a while. After the quest is over, it will return to your inventory slightly modified.
Enter Krasek's room the same way as last time, and pay attention to the box next to the table - the drunkard keeps schnapps in a chest. Pick the middle lock and take all 5 bottles.
In the evening, get Krasek drunk
Bellissimo will go down to the tavern for a drink. by 9-11 o'clock evening. Before this moment, it is worth preparing for the meeting:
- Raise your charm with the help of clothes and jewelry to the maximum possible level. For this, you can use things that were worn on wedding in Semin, or buy a more luxurious outfit from a tailor.
- Buy from the bathhouse owner "Sober" potion.
- Equip if possible best armor and weaponsto raise Impressiveness.
When Krasek goes down to the tavern and takes a table, sit opposite him and talk to him. The artist will ask Henry to make toasts, each of which will be a skill test. If you have about 20 points in Impression and Imposingness, you can complete this stage in 2 choices:
- "For our mothers!" (Impression, difficult).
- "For the truth!" (Impressiveness, difficult).
If you lack charm, choose as your first toast: "To the grace of God!" (Learning, average).
If you fail any of the tests, another one will appear, with more difficult options. If you fail this one, Krasek will still out, but Henry will be very drunk, which may interfere with further playthrough.
Take Krasek to his workshop
Drink the "Sober" potion you bought in advance, then pick up Krasek's body ("F").
You need to take him to the shack in the garden opposite the establishment. Go out through the door to the street and go across the road to the wooden gate in the stone fence. To open the door, you will have to put the body on the ground. Go into the garden and carry the artist to the small house to the south. As soon as you leave him on the floor inside, a cutscene will start in which all that remains is to scare Krasek.
Accuse the man of three sins in turn and listen to his excuses. After that, choose what to answer him depending on the difficulty of the test and the points:
- "You betrayed a friend!" is a standard answer that leads to a normal completion of the quest without reputation bonuses. The answer will not be available if you did not question the bathhouse mistress and Vojta.
- "You're rude to women!" (Coercion, very hard) - will fail, even if Speech is maxed out. The total Coercion value in the devil costume will be 27, which is not enough. Failure will result in a fist fight.
- "Stop talking, I'll kill you!" (Strength, hard) - if the corresponding characteristic is higher than 20, you can threaten Krasek. If successful, you will receive additional reputation in the dialogue.
After the cutscene is over, go tell Voite about the positive outcome. The artist will thank you, but will not give you an additional reward; instead, a devil costume will remain in your inventory as a memento of the task.
This time, after completion, 2 quests will become available at once: "Man proposes" и "Tainted Honor". For each of them there is a separate line in the dialogue with the master.
