Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
How can I solve Wrath's murder?
1 of 10: You'll only find Wrath dead after talking to his apprentice, Jormund the dwarf.
2 of 10: If you search his corpse, you'll find a glass of wine with a strong odor to it.
3 of 10: If you go back to Jormund, you'll find him under arrest, and you can offer to help solve the murder by talking to the guard.
4 of 10: If you show the guard the glass with poison in it, he'll tell you that Sharpe is the local apothecary.
5 of 10: So go to his shop, on the southernmost platform in the city.
6 of 10: His wife Ivory is there, but don't talk to her yet. Wait until night when she leaves, and go there, and break or pick the pot in the shop to find an empty poison vial.
7 of 10: Then wait until morning and talk to Ivory.
8 of 10: Mention the vial to her, and depending what conversation path you take, you'll either come to the conclusion that Wrath killed himself, or that Sharpe murdered him.
9 of 10: Either one will complete the quest for you, although the former option is the correct one.
10 of 10: Once you have your evidence, go back to the guard and he'll release Jormund, who'll join your group if you want him to.
