Materia Prima Walkthrough

Accepting the Quest: Get a tip from the Troskwitz tavern Innkeeper to reveal the quest on your map. Travel southwest to Lower Semine Mill and find Miller Kreyzl. Tell him you're looking for work. He'll give you a menial task. (Note: Asking about the wedding may lower reputation; agreeing to carry sacks without complaint may raise it.)

Carry the Sacks to the Wagon: Locate the wagon opposite the Miller's home. The sacks of flour are in the building to the right, in the right room. Place six sacks on the wagon. A cutscene will trigger, revealing lead balls inside a split sack. Confront Kreyzl about this. Agree to help him retrieve a document, "The Offer of Hermes Trismegistos," from a locked and guarded chest in the Troskowitz Rathaus. He promises to help you get into the wedding and gives you three lock picks.

Learning Lockpicking and Pickpocketing: Find Hensel nearby and follow him to the room where the sacks were. Complete the tutorials for lockpicking and pickpocketing. For lockpicking, use a lockpick on a chest (up to medium difficulty). Move the orb until it turns gold, then rotate the lock while keeping it gold. For pickpocketing, get behind an NPC, target their pouch, and hold the search button until the indicator flashes red. Click on the '?'s to identify items, select the desired item, and exit via the top center before the timer runs out.

Getting the Right Clothes for the Job: If you asked Kreyzl about being less conspicuous, he'll direct you to the Bathhouse in Troskowitz. Speak to the proprietor, Dorothy, and ask about Kreyzl's clothes. You can either pay 199 Groshen or pass a Persuasion or Impression speech check to get them. Create a separate outfit for these clothes to switch into for thieving.

Speak to Zinek: Find Zinek in the pillory in the center of town, near the Inn. Ask him about the document. He'll joke about a password and then tell you the Rathaus is behind the tavern by the fence, but you'll need a key.

Getting the Rathaus Key: Go to the Rathaus. If you have Mutt, leave him outside. Find Svatya Thrush leaning against the wall. Crouch behind him and pickpocket him to obtain the key. Save your game beforehand, as low-level pickpocketing can be challenging.
