Observe Klaus Schimmer

Observing Klaus Schimmer is a recurring task in Beholder: Conductor, often tied to directives concerning smuggling or anti-state activities. Carl must monitor Klaus's movements, interactions, and apartment for any suspicious behavior or prohibited items. This requires a combination of surveillance techniques, including peeping through keyholes and searching his apartment when he is absent.

Klaus Schimmer resides in Apartment 2. His routine can vary, but he often leaves his apartment for work or to visit other tenants. This provides opportunities for Carl to either bug his apartment or search it for evidence. Pay close attention to his conversations, especially if he interacts with new tenants or known dissidents. He is often involved in black market dealings or possesses items that become prohibited.

Observation Strategies:

Keyhole Peeping: Use the keyhole on Klaus's door (Apartment 2) to observe his activities inside. This can reveal him handling suspicious items or engaging in illegal conversations.
Bugging Apartment 2: Plant a bug in his apartment when he is out. This allows you to listen to his conversations remotely from your apartment. Bugs can be purchased from the shady dealer.
Searching Apartment 2: When Klaus is away, pick the lock to his apartment and search for prohibited items. Focus on dressers, shelves, and hidden compartments.
Following Klaus: Occasionally, you might need to follow Klaus to see who he meets or where he goes, especially if a directive specifically asks for his contacts.
Interrogating Klaus: Engage Klaus in conversation. He might reveal information inadvertently, especially if you have a good reputation or offer him something he needs.

Key Items to Look For: Foreign currency, illegal literature, weapons, or any items recently added to the Ministry's prohibited list. These are common indicators of his illicit activities.
