• DLC Required: Mysteria Ecclesiae

Objectives:

• Speak with the cellarius
• Find the book (Optional)
  • Read the Book (Optional)
  • Catch Crayfish (x8) (Optional) –  Ostraconophobia
• Find the spectacles
• Return the spectacles to the cellarius
• Give the supplies to Denes

Starting Location: Our Old Bread

This starts in the Infirmary of Sedletz Monastery. After finishing the 2nd DLC quest Anamnesis, you will start out in the Infirmary. Zacharias will suggest you build a mask to protect yourself from the sickness and you get 2 new quests Prevention + Silent Witnesses. Before doing these quests, talk to Zacharias again in the infirmary and pick the dialogue with a golden quest icon “Can I help you with anything?“.

Afterward, talk to his bodyguard called “Denes” in the infirmary. He will be marked with a side quest icon after talking to Zacharias. To start the quest pick his dialogues “I heard you’re having supply troubles” > “Maybe I could convince him” > “Talk him into it”.

Speak with the cellarius

Missable Trophy/Achievement Reminder:  Quiet as a Church Mouse (the knights never had to escort you to the infirmary)
The monastery is now on lockdown and if you’re seen outside the infirmary you will be held up by the guards. You must complete the rest of the DLC in stealth without being caught by any guards. If you’re caught, reload the previous save and replay from there. Stay crouched and put on a dark outfit with low visibility stat.

Brother Cellarius is found in the kitchen. The easiest way is to sneak southward from the infirmary, go through the courtyard, then enter the cellar next to the library. Go through the cellar and you’ll find an exit that leads into the kitchen. There are never any patrols in the cellar so it’s the safest way to get around.

For the best result tell him: “I hear you’ve got some disputes over supplies” > “How much food is left?” > “How about a trade?” > “I’ll try and sort something out” > “Is there any other way to save more?”.

There are multiple ways to solve this quest. The quick way would be to pickpocket Cellarius for his “Sack of Supplies”, or knock him out and loot it. The proper way is to do his objectives and he’ll give the supplies willingly (needed for the missable  Ostraconophobia).

While you’re here, you can also find two monks (Salvator & Gregory) playing dice in the cellar room below the kitchen. You can challenge them to a match to win a die if you like.

Find the book (Optional)

Go back through the cellar from the kitchen to the library. The book you need is called “Crayfish, the poor man’s salmon“. From the middle row of shelves it’s on the first shelf on the right, on the lower shelf, looks like a red book. It’s easier to see when crouching.

Missable Task: Foreseeing Evil – talking to Librarian Crispin and picking the non-skillcheck dialogue “I’ll help you to protect yourself from the illness” triggers another missable task Foreseeing Evil. But we’ll deal with this after the current quest is complete, for now carry on here.

 

Cat Interaction (counts towards  Feline Affection): In the back left corner of the library, walk near the last bookshelf and check if you get the / / ALT prompt “Kitty kitty…”. If you’ve already done this before and the prompt doesn’t come up it’s fine. You can also make an exit save and reboot your game once as sometimes the cat bugs out. If you do get the prompt, a cat will appear on the bookshelves. If not, remember to check this spot after each quest.

 

Read the Book (Optional)

Read the Crayfish book from your inventory, flip through all pages.

Catch Crayfish (x8) (Optional)

Missable Trophy/Achievement:  Ostraconophobia – You were nipped to death by crayfish.
This trophy is HIGHLY MISSABLE! Make a Saviour Schnapps save before attempting this and reload your save afterward! Some of the Crayfish will pinch you when you pick them up and hurt your health a little bit. You must be at extremely low health and die from picking up a Crayfish. This is a random and not each of them will pinch you. To get to low health, attack a guard with a weapon while being naked, take 1-2 hits to start bleeding (if you need a weapon, choke out another guard and steal his weapon). You will now gradually lose health from bleeding. Run through the cellar to lose the guards. Now quickly go to the ponds marked with the objective where the Crayfish are, pick them up from the front until one pinches you and kills you. This gives a unique Game Over Screen “You’ve joined a very exclusive group of people who were killed by a crayfish pinch. Well done”. See info on Crayfish below. After getting the trophy, reload the save and do the objective properly without engaging any guards.

Sneak outside to the fish ponds west of the monastery. Easiest way is by going back through the kitchen and heading west from there. Many guards patrol outside, if they’re in your way you can throw rocks to distract them.

Crayfish are NOT the silver-looking fish that swim around, they look like lobsters that sit at the bottom of the water. To catch Crayfish, you must walk through the water, look at the ground until you find one and simply pick it up. You can deliver these to Denes at the end of the quest.

They will stay in place and don’t run away from you. Listen for a rattling sound when they are nearby (turn up volume to hear them easily). They are easier to see while crouched. It’s best to go back and forth through the ponds in straight lines so you don’t miss a spot. Always keep looking at the floor of the pond. There are 8 in the 3 main ponds, but if you have trouble finding enough, you can find 4 more at the small pond in the herb gardens in the south-east of the monastery grounds (will have an objective marker on map).

Find the spectacles

The spectacles are in the central courtyard, inside the bird’s nest on top of the tree. You must throw a rock at the nest by pressing R1/RB/G. Then the nest falls down and you can loot the spectacles from it. It can take a few tries to hit the nest, stand directly below it and aim slightly to the left (your rocks always fly a bit to the right of the center dot). Loot the other items in the nest too, Cellarius will want them.

 

 

Return the spectacles to the cellarius

Return to Cellarius in the kitchen and transfer the items from your inventory.

“I’ve got your spectacles” > “My pleasure” > “There was more” (if you looted entire nest) > “So…?” > hand over the Die of misfortune + Hungarian florin -> he will give you the Sack of Supplies.

Note: using the frying pan in the kitchen, you can cook Crayfish, but you should NOT do this as the cooked ones can’t be delivered to Denes.

Give the supplies to Denes

Return to the quest giver Denes in the infirmary. If you did all optional objectives (found book and caught crayfish), you can pick the unique dialogues “I’ve got a book you might find useful” (give Crayfish book) > “I got more food” > “I was catching crayfish” (deliver 8 Crayfish). You will automatically hand him the Sack of Supplies.

Trophy/Achievement:  Do Good to All People (You helped the people of the monastery)
If you did the task Maddening Pain earlier and gave Denes the book + Crayfish, all you have left for this trophy is to talk to Monk Vincent. You can do this right now to earn the trophy. You find Vincent upstairs in the monks’ living quarters. Next to the library go up the staircase and through the door to find monks locked into their cells on the top floor. Look for the cell with food on the floor in front of it, when you approach you get the “Look” prompt. Then press “Address” to talk with Monk Vincent behind the door. He is having nightmares. Give him a potion (I gave him chamomile potion), I also passed all his skillchecks. The trophy unlocked after this interaction for me. It doesn’t count as a task in the journal. I picked the following dialogues: “Talk” > Speech Skillcheck: “I’m here on behalf of Albich, speak” > “I sleep quite soundly” > “This happened to you?” > “Has this happened to you before?” > “What did the demon look like?” > “Did you tell anyone about it?” > “I have a potion for you” > I gave him Chamomile Potion > Speech Skillcheck: “You can rest easy” (succeeded at 23 Speech) > Scholarship Skillcheck: Let’s pray (succeeded at 21 Scholarship) > “Do you feel better now?” -> trophy unlocked.
