The Gauntlet of the Ancients — Schedule I Walkthrough

Starting the Game: After a cutscene and character customization, you'll spawn near a bus station. Follow the quest "Getting Started" by opening your phone ('Tab') and reading messages. You'll be directed to a payphone to meet "U.N." (Uncle Nelson), who tasks you with retrieving his stash near the skatepark. Collect $375 from the dead drop.

Renting a Motel Room: Speak to the motel manager, Donna, at the house next to the motel. After the dialogue, you can pickpocket Donna to steal back the $75 needed for the room. Enter room 1 to complete the quest. Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.

Buying Equipment: A new questline, "Gearing Up," begins. Head to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by following the road past your room). At the store, deposit your cash at the ATM and purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can. It's also recommended to buy "Plant Trimmers," a "Packaging Station," and 10 "Baggies." If Dan offers, accept "Speed Grow." Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and add soil to the pot. Speak to Uncle Nelson at the payphone again.

Planting your First Seeds: Uncle Nelson introduces Albert Hoover. Check your phone for a message from Albert. To order seeds, select "I need to order a dead drop." Purchase "OG Kush" seeds. Albert will deliver them to a dead drop location, which will be highlighted on your map. Pick up the seed and return to your grow tent to sow it. Water the plant using the watering can, filling it at the sink. After watering, sleep to advance plant growth and conserve water.

Harvesting and Packaging: Once the plant is fully grown, use the "Plant Trimmers" on the grow tent to harvest the buds. Place down the "Packaging Station." Interact with it to package the buds into baggies. Drag baggies to the "Packaging" spot and buds to the "Input" spot. Press "Pack," then drag each bud into a baggie, and the baggie into the hopper. Packaged weed will appear in the output.
