Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints

Anything I can do in Madame Lil's?

  • 1 of 11: There are three quests that Madame Lil will give you for some "free time."
  • 2 of 11: First, you'll be asked to retrieve a necklace from the Mooreland residence.
  • 3 of 11: It's back on the rich side of town, so head over there.
  • 4 of 11: In the house, you'll meet the maid, Laura. You can either pay her, threaten her, or persuade her to give up the amulet. (Persuading entails convincing her to go work for Madame Lil.)
  • 5 of 11: Second, Madame Lil will ask you to go collect 400 gold from the doorman at the Bridesdale Inn. The inn is on the far west side of town, just above Wellington's Gentleman's Club.
  • 6 of 11: Langley will tell you that he need 5 days to be able to pay.
  • 7 of 11: So just wait around for 5 days, and then come back and he'll give you the money, which you can bring back to Madame Lil.
  • 8 of 11: Third, if you're male, Madame Lil will ask you to deliver a package to Ms. Halster, who lives on the rich side of town.
  • 9 of 11: It's as simple as just bringing it to her, and telling her it's a gift from her husband.
  • 10 of 11: Lastly, Madame Lil will ask you to get her a medallion of beauty.
  • 11 of 11: A woman in the inn in Dernholm has one, so when you have time, go back there and pick her pocket for it, and bring it back to Madame Lil.
