Mission Info: Someone was distributing poisoned water at the Bazaar. The prime suspect was a merchant, named Julian, who in turn accused his supplier, Marco. And the worst part was that the poisoned water had already found its way to Hans, the hunter.
Objectives:
- Find Marco, the water Supplier
- Secure the building
- Kill Marco (optional)
- Report back to the Bazaar (optional)
- Find Hans, the hunter, before he drinks the poisoned water
- Find Hans at his favorite hunting spot
Starting Location: Cheers!
Find Marco, the water Supplier
After speaking with Julian the first time, some people from the Bazaar come up and accuse him of selling poisoned water. Once they leave, speak to him again and you get out of him where he got the water from. He will also tell you about Hans, who was another man who likely has the water who he wants you to check on.
You can go to whichever of these objectives first that you want, but you are only required to do objective 1 to actually complete the side quest. If you complete objective 1 then the game will count the side quest as ended, but you can still go to objective 2 and complete it.
Head to objective 1 to find a video with an open top floor. Head inside, and you can find a slightly open door that you can enter and drop down a hole inside
Crouch into the hole in the wall, and you will enter a room where you can find Marco, the water supplier.
Secure the building
Marco asks for you to clear the lower floor where his equipment is before he’ll give Aiden any information, so continue down the hole to the lowest floor. This area can have a decent number of infected in it, and they will be of higher rank if you are not playing on the lowest difficulty.
You can somewhat cheese dealing with them by funneling them into the first room instead of fighting them in the second room, and you can move back into the area you dropped down if you need to heal, because the infected can’t crawl through the small space you enter through.
Once they are all dealt with, go over and interact with the door to close it and Marco will join you and explain the water situation. You then have a dialogue choice with him that determines what happens at the end of this specific quest.
If you first select the left white option, you will then get a second yellow option where you can agree to lie about what happened. If you select this option the game acts like the side quest is finished immediately, without you needing to return to the Bazaar or complete the second objective.
Kill Marco (optional)
If you choose the right option and say you will tell the truth at the Bazaar, Marco will start attacking you, requiring you to kill him.
As you fight him on his own, he is fairly easy to deal with just by parrying or dodging his swings and hitting back each time.
Report back to the Bazaar (optional)
Once Marco is dealt with, you will need to return to Julian at the Bazaar to tell him what occurred and complete the side quest.
Find Hans, the hunter, before he drinks the poisoned water
Kind of optional and kind of not, the second objective, to find Hans, requires you go to his house to look for him.
Interact with the door once to knock, then interact with it again and you will have to pick the lock to get in. Go into the house and you’ll find Hans’ wife, who says it looks like he accidentally took the poisoned water instead of his booze.
Find Hans at his favorite hunting spot
There will be a nearby spot marked on the map where you can find Hans. Head over and speak with him, and whichever dialogue options you pick you will give him the booze, finishing this objective in this side quest.

Do you know if this side quest (Cheers!) can be done at any time during the story?
I just completed the Water Story main quest, and it dissapeared from my Diary and there is no trace in the map neither.
Thanks in advance.
