Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
Anything I should pick up around the site?
1 of 8: There are a few things you might want to get.
2 of 8: On a person a little ways north of you, you'll find a camera, which has a couple of uses in the game.
3 of 8: One person a ways to the west has some money on him, which is always good.
4 of 8: Various people have minor technology ingredients like thermometers, filament, etc.
5 of 8: Also, to the far northwest, you'll find a crashed flying machine with a dead ogre lying nearby. On the ogre, you'll find an amulet with a pentagram on it. You'll find a lot of these throughout the game, and you'll want to keep at least one for much later.
6 of 8: Also, in the southwest, there's a Kite Shaman by a fire and a Magical Chest.
7 of 8: You can attack him if you want. He's a bit tough, but nothing you and Virgil together can't handle.
8 of 8: Once you kill him, check the chest for a random piece of magical equipment (usually a sword).
