Complete walkthrough for The Trials of Shar in Schedule I. Learn how to start the game, rent a motel room, buy equipment, plant seeds, and package your first harvest.
Walkthrough
- 1Character Creation & Spawn: After a cutscene, customize your character. You will spawn in front of the bus station across from the motel.
- 2Starting Quest: Open your phone ('Tab') and read messages. You'll receive a quest to meet "U.N." (Uncle Nelson) at the payphone.
- 3Fetch Stash: Uncle Nelson instructs you to retrieve his stash near the skatepark, located on a ledge by the motel road. You will find $375.
- 4Rent Motel Room: Speak to the motel manager, Donna. The quest changes to "Rent a motel room." After dialogue, you can pickpocket Donna to steal back the $75 needed for the room.
- 5Enter Motel Room: Go to room labeled '1' and step inside to complete the quest objective.
- 6Return to Payphone: Uncle Nelson wants to speak with you again at the payphone.
- 7"Gearing Up" Quest: Head to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by following the road left from your room).
- 8ATM & Purchases: Deposit your cash at the ATM (use 'MAX' for safety). Purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can from Dan at the hardware store. It's recommended to also buy "Plant Trimmers," "Packaging Station," and 10 "Baggies." Consider a "Trash grabber" and "Trash bag" for convenience and quest completion. If you mention being a drug dealer to Dan, he may gift you "Speed Grow."
- 9Set Up Grow Tent: Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and fill the pot with soil using the watering can.
- 10Order Seeds: Talk to Uncle Nelson, who introduces Albert Hoover. Open your phone and select "I need to order a [dead drop]". Purchase "OG Kush" seeds. Albert will deliver them to a highlighted [dead drop] location. Pay off your tab by placing cash in the [dead drop] behind the hardware store.
- 11Plant & Water: Retrieve the seeds from the [dead drop]. Walk up to the grow tent with the seeds and press 'E' to sow. Water the plant using the watering can (fill it at the sink).
- 12Grow & Harvest: Plants grow approximately 15% per in-game hour. Sleeping after watering can optimize growth. Once the plant is fully grown, use the "Plant Trimmers" on the grow tent to harvest the buds.
- 13Packaging: Place down the "Packaging Station." Interact with it, drag baggies and buds into the respective slots, and press "Pack." Drag each bud into a bag, then drag the bag into the hopper. Packaged weed will appear in the output. You can also unpack weed.
