Complete walkthrough for The Whispering Skull quest in Schedule I. Learn how to start the game, rent a motel room, buy equipment, and plant your first seeds.
Walkthrough
- 1After the opening cutscene and character customization, you spawn near the bus station. Open your phone ('Tab') and read messages to receive the "Getting Started" quest.
- 2Go to the payphone and speak with "U.N." (Uncle Nelson). He instructs you to retrieve his stash near the skatepark, which contains $375.
- 3Speak to the motel manager, Donna, by knocking on her door. The quest updates to "Rent a motel room."
- 4You can pickpocket Donna to steal back the $75 needed to rent room 1. Enter the room to complete the quest objective.
- 5Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.
- 6A new questline, "Gearing Up," begins. Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by following the road).
- 7At the hardware store, deposit your cash at the ATM and purchase a grow tent, a soil bag, and a watering can. It's also recommended to buy "Plant Trimmers," a "Packaging Station," and 10 "Baggies." Consider buying a trash grabber and a "Trash bag" for convenience and a rudimentary quest.
- 8If you tell Dan, the shop owner, you are a drug dealer, he may gift you "Speed Grow."
- 9Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and fill it with soil.
- 10Go back to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson, who introduces you to Albert Hoover.
- 11Open your phone and message Albert Hoover to order seeds. Select "I need to order a [dead drop]" and purchase "OG Kush."
- 12Retrieve the seeds from the designated [dead drop] location. You will be on a tab with Albert.
- 13Sow the OG Kush seed in the grow tent by holding the seed and pressing 'E' near the tent.
- 14Fill the watering can at the sink and water the plant.
- 15Sleep to advance plant growth. Plants grow approximately 15% per in-game hour.
- 16Once the plant is fully grown, use the "Plant Trimmers" on the grow tent to harvest the buds.
- 17Place down the "Packaging Station." Interact with it to package the buds into baggies.
