Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for The Thaumaturge's Front Page quest. Includes detailed steps, tips, and item locations to help you complete this challenging mission.
We can start this quest by picking up the paper located on the northern side of the bazaar portion of the Rozycki Bazaar area.
This is a lengthy quest so you better strap on! It's also timed so we better we it out of the way ASAP.
Meet with Fejgin
Go ahead and take the tram or carriage to Northern Srodmiescie and follow your perception to find Fejgin. He's located a bit north from your house. Exhaust all of your conversation options you have with him and agree to help him out with the case. Let's see what we can do. Let's see if we can find those Lechites for him. Right now we can go talk to uncle Voronin or Wanda.
Talk to Voronin
Let's go talk to our uncle first. Take the tram or carriage over to Southern Srodmiescie and head to the police station. Inside enter Voronin's office at the end of the station and speak to him inside. Of course, given his position (and people listening) he cannot help us... but OH NO he has to leave us here all alone! Whatever shall we do haha. You gotta love the uncle! Go ahead and check file cabinet to get a Blank Pass Form. Afterwards you'll want to check the typewriter on the desk to make it a Pass Form, then check the table to get a False Pass. Nice! We can now freely explore the train station... I hope.
Talk to Wanda
Once we're done here with Voronin, leave the police station, head back to the carriage and make your way to Rozycki Bazaar. Once here you'll want to go to the northwestern side of the map, where the carriage is. Enter the building next to it. Inside the bar, before talking to the man behind the counter, use your perception to find the observations AT BERK ROTBLITZ's: Worker Magazine, AT BERK ROTBLITZ's: Worker Leaflets, and AT BERK ROTBLITZ's: Bouquet of Flowers. Afterwards speak to the man behind the counter, Janek. Ask for a doughnut to have Wanda appear. Hello again lady! When possible, ask her about the Lechites to get as much info out of her as possible.
Find a way to contact the Lechites
Use the carriage right outside the bar to go back to Southern Srodmiescie. Once here head left and enter Vienna Station. Inside approach the guard on the right side for a scene. Show him the pass we just forged and he'll let us through. Thank you sir! Time to inspect the site of the chaos! Use your perception and you'll be able to find several things. Make sure to get them all.
- A LIFE STOLEN: Stuffed Bear
- THE VICTIM'S LOCALE: Door Key
- THERE'S MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE: Case Fitting
- A LIFE STOLEN: Blood
- THE VICTIM'S LOCALE: Bloodstained Envelope
- A PREMATURE ENDING: Aurora Patisserie Receipt
- A PREMATURE ENDING: Bloody Handprint
Yeah, that's a lot! And we got several clues to help us out as well! And with that leave the station and we'll now want to go to 22 Nowogrodzka Street. This is the house to the right of the Police Station, right at the edge of the map. Make sure to save befor you enter. Inside a little scene will play out and then we'll be in a fight against 4 enemies. Despite the number, this is a relatively easy fight. Just like you always do, make sure to target the weakest one first and fully focus on one at a time while you keep yourself healed. After the fight, go ahead and use your perception to reveal the following observations:
- STEFANIA LIPNICKA'S OFFICE: Child's Drawing
- STEFANIA LIPNICKA'S SECRET: Group Photo
- STEFANIA LIPNICKA'S OFFICE: Painting Reproduction
After you check all 3 of them, check the painting on the right side of the office once again to reveal a safe. Use your perception once again to reveal STEFANIA LIPNICKA'S OFFICE: Safe Hidden in a Wall. This will give us a conclusion. Neat. Go ahead and check the safe once again to find STEFANIA LIPNICKA's SECRET: Congratulatory Letter and its conclusion. We are done here. Exit the house and go left and into the Police Station. Inside talk to Detective Zhukov, the man sitting behind the desk near the center. Go through the entire conversation and you'll end up getting DEEP WOUNDS: Others. More importantly, you'll want to follow his thoughts. Use your perception to follow them to the right side of the station where you can find a file out in the open called Zhukov's Unfinished Report. It also gives us DEEP WOUNDS: Zhukov's Unfinished Report and completes the conclusion as well. Leave the police station once again and use the tram to head on over to Northern Srodmiescie. Once here we'll want to go to the Patisserie. This is just a couple steps south of the tram stop. Inside speak to the lady behind the counter and tell her about the receipt you found at the station. She'll give us some eclairs and we'll also get A PREMATURE ENDING: Ignacy Wisniewski. Leave the patisserie and we'll want to go west down the street to the north. Halfway down the street we'll be able to find a house we can enter. Go inside and talk to the lady inside, Regina Wisniewska. After giving her the eclairs, you can tell her that you're a thaumaturge and that you're looking for the perpetrators of the attack. Afterwards we can look around her house. There are 2 spots we can check, one with A PREMATURE ENDING: Insurrectionist's Four-Cornered Cap and the other with A PREMATURE ENDING: Painting Reproduction. When talking to Regina, choose the dialogue option Find Ignacy's last thought before his death to get the achievement Yellow Marigolds and Her. Talk to Regina once again and tell her what you've found. Give her some peace of mind. You'll then get A PREMATURE ENDING: Regina on Her Husband and its conclusion as well. We're done here. Leave this place and head on over to Praga. We haven't explored Praga yet (at all) but there are a couple of things we can check. From the tram stop go left a little bit and then we'll want to go north up the street. Sadly there are some punks that will pick a fight against us. Take care of them and move north up the street and on the left you'll be able to find Stereoscopic Photograph: Siphon (xx/17). Head back south to the main street and a bit further to the left we can find another point of interest, a man playing the accordion. This gives us Accordionist (Sketch xx/55). Continue west and go south from the carriage. Follow this street and at the bottom check the western side to find another point of interest, this one with Stereoscopic Photograph: Goscinny Dwor Bazaar (xx/17). Go ahead and approach the NPCs to the east, right outside the hospital. As you talk to them you'll see that the patients came here dying, but they want to leave now since they're "ok". The doctor doesn't want that and wants them to stay to keep an eye on them just in case they're not ok. Here we'll get to either side with the doctors, or side with the patients. Siding with one will have you fight the other group so the end result is practically the same. Once you're done with them, go up the stairs and use your perception to find THE LAVISHNESS OF BLACK: The Golden Verses by Pythagoras. Grab it and head inside the hospital. Inside the hospital start by going to the room to the north and use your perception to... nothing to find with perception. There ARE other items you can find so make sure to read them because they give you the observations A LIFE STOLEN: Patient Chart. Go ahead and talk to the nurse here (we don't have an option but you can choose the pride dialogue option). Ask her why the little girl was at the station and tell her to give the girl the teddy bear. We did a good deed here. We also get the A LIFE STOLEN: Izabela Lipnicka during the conversation. Head to the southern side of the hospital and go through the door with the !. In here go to the southern side of the area and enter the room on the left to find a patient. Before talking to him, use your perception to find THERE'S MORE THAN METS THE EYE: Identity Card on the table to the south. Make sure to also check the files on the central table to find Patient Chart - Krystian Krol. This will also net you the observation THERE'S MORE THAN METS THE EYE: Patient Chart. Go ahead and talk to the patient now, Krystian Krol. Go through the conversation (even telling him you know he's the perpetrator) and we won't be able to do much more. Hmm.
Follow Krystian's thoughts
After your talk with him we need to follow his thoughts. These are basically near the entrance. Pick it up to get THERE'S MORE THAN METS THE EYE: Bloodstained Flat Cap. This also gives us the conclusion. Return to Krystian and we'll now be able to advance the conversation. Eventually we'll have to go back home in Northern Srodmiescie. Before you enter your house note that you can start a new sidequest right outside.
- Here We Go Again
Enter your house now... When possible, approach the upper left corner of the house (inside) to find Grazyna there. Interact with the object on the floor... it's a brick. Yeah, these Lechites threw a brick at us with directions. Hmm.
