Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
The phrenologist, Bengamin Gershwin, wants me to find some skulls for him.
1 of 4: Gershwin can be found in the very most northwestern building in the city.
2 of 4: It may seem like a simple "retrieve the item" quest at first, but the skulls are actually part of a much bigger quest.
3 of 4: The quest the skulls are a part of is the one involving Matt de Ceasar, and it won't be solved until much later in the game.
4 of 4: Once you have finished the above quest, you can come back and sell the skulls to the phrenologist. You CAN do it before, but the quest is fun and worth doing.
