"Captain Steelbeard's Treasure." Specially for Gamer.Ru!
content auto translated from {from}

Since many players are having trouble completing the side quest related to the character Patty, I decided to write a guide for completing the entire branch! To do this, I had to replay the game, but that's not important :) So, let's get started!

Part 1. Who is Captain Steelbeard?

First, we approach Patty, who is in the tavern by the central warehouse! She offers us a beer, which we, by the way, do not refuse, and start the conversation about her life! Through a brief tale, she mentions that she wants to leave the city and go in search of her father, the sailor Gregorius! We agree to help her and head to Captain Romanov, who is imprisoned.

But alas, we cannot talk to him, a guard is blocking our way. We talk to him and realize he really desires female affection. We rush to Sonya's brothel, pay her 50 gold coins for a girl, and hurry back. On the way, near the warehouse, we speak with a girl named Anika about her work in this matter. She goes to the guard, we run to the guard and tell him that Anika will keep him company; he also goes to the backroom, and we take the key from him!

We run to the door, unlock it, enter, and see Captain Romanov!

We start a conversation about his life and relationships on the island, but we find this unnecessary! By the way, there will be a separate quest where we need to find and bring him his box (in the warehouse, on the second floor)! Let's move on to Patty. We tell Romanov that Patty is looking for her father, and here we learn that her father's name is Captain Gregorius Steelbeard. We ask where he can be found, but unfortunately, he does not know. We continue the dialogue until the lines run out, then we hurry to Sonya's brothel, where there will be a drunk Erikson sitting. We either beat him or steal the key from him! Now we rush back to Patty. She tells us that her father's initials are on the key, meaning he has a cabin somewhere in the port. We hurry to find the cabin, which you can see in the screenshot below.

We enter it and open the chest, where we find a note from Captain Steelbeard and some junk. We return to Patty, show her the note, and she gives us 200 gold and quickly leaves the city.

Part 2. Patty's Escape from the City

Here everything is simple; no matter who you play as—the outcome is the same! In Sonya's brothel, there is a secret passage to the storeroom. The entrance is in the left room; you just need to click on the picture, and a secret passage will open! But we can only inform Patty about this after completing all the quests in the city for either Don or the Order (depending on who you are playing as). If you've already completed them, tell Patty and wait for her where Skordo is (or was sitting). When she arrives, she will ask you to check the hidden exit from the city first. At the end of the tunnel, there will be a door that needs Skordo's key to open (if you are playing for Don, Skordo will give you the key; if for the Order, you need to either steal the key or kill Skordo).

After checking the tunnel, we return and tell Patty that the way is clear. Patty thanks us for the help and sneaks away to the shore!

Part 3. Nameless Graves

This part will only become available in Chapter 2 of the game!

We approach Patty at the waterfront and ask her to tell us everything. She tells us that her father has long been gone from the island, but he left a stash buried in a grave. We tell Patty we will help her and follow her.

We run after Patty to the western shore, specifically to the cemetery. If you fall behind Patty or lose sight of her, you will be able to find her there! Two skeletons will be waiting at the cemetery, one of which is a skeleton warrior.

As soon as we arrive at the cemetery, we deal with the skeletons and talk to Patty. She gives us a key and asks us to dig up a grave that is to the right of her. We dig up the chest, take its box, and give it to Patty, thereby learning that Captain Steelbeard buried his treasures on the island. Out of excitement, we ask how else we can help Patty, and she then asks us to find 5 nameless graves on the island and dig them up; they will contain clues! To make our life easier, Patty will mark the locations of the graves on our map.

Now it's up to you; go and unearth those five graves, feeling like Sam and Dean from the show Supernatural. In some places, we will encounter Erikson and Vasily, who are Romanov's thugs, eager to get their hands on Captain Steelbeard's treasure.

Once you've dug up all five graves, return to Patty at the cemetery where she was. But alas, when we rush there, we do not see Patty, but Erong.

He informs us that Romanov wants to talk to us and that if we want to see Patty, we must go with Erong. Well, it seems we have to go. We follow Erong.

Part 4. Making a Choice

Erong will take us to the ruins, crawling with skeletons, so I highly recommend stocking up on a couple of healing potions and better weapons. After shopping, we return and follow the path, gradually descending lower to the waterfront until we reach the next ruins, where Romanov will be standing with his thugs.

We start a conversation with Romanov, and our attempt to find out where Patty is ends in failure. During the conversation, we will have 3 options to resolve the situation.

Regardless of the choice, we need to explore the cave. In the cave, we will find a chest that cannot be opened, and a corpse. We can also dig up 5 chests, all of which contain traps except for one. The chest we need is called "Dillinger's Chest."

Propose to share the treasure

If we propose to Romanov to split the treasure in half, he will reply that he does not need the gold; he only wants the "Steelbeard's Sea Map." On the way out, you can say that you tricked him, then kill him and his crew while Patty remains alive and all treasures stay with you.

Kill Romanov and his crew

If we take out Romanov and his entire crew, all the treasure will be ours, but we will later find Patty dead.

Exchange the treasure for Patty

After exchanging, Romanov will give us the key and tell us where Patty is locked up. The screenshot shows the place where Patty is locked. This is the eastern side of the first ruins.

After we save Patty, she will scold us for giving the sea map to Romanov, and Patty will suggest finding Romanov to take the map back. We, unsurprisingly, agree. Patty will say that we need to hold Romanov. We tell Patty to come with us and intercept Romanov on the way to Harbor Town, killing him and his crew. Taking the map from Romanov's corpse, we give it to Patty. She thanks us and returns to the city. This concludes the quest and the adventures with pirates :)

Epilogue
