Passage of the mission "Opportunity Makes the Thief Part 4"

How to start a task

Before you can take on the passage of this mission, you will need to meet a couple of conditions, namely:

• Complete the previous part of the chain called “Don’t put it badly, don’t lead a thief into sin 3”.
• Pass the fourth stage of museum management called "Full House".

After dealing with these requirements, wait for the quest to appear in your journal. If he still doesn't show up, then move to the museum and chat with Eris, then click on the "Go to Missions" button. If there is no inscription, then you most likely did not fulfill some condition.

Head into the hallway of the Goethe Hotel

First of all, talk to Pela, who can be found in the museum, not far from the place where interviews are usually held. She will inform you that she was able to find out who really stole the paintings.

Next, you have to go to the Goethe Hotel, located in the Administrative District. Enter the lobby, go up the stairs and enter the hotel corridor. Then Pela will contact you and tell you about the password.

What to answer Uncle Merzlyak

Approach the marked door, and then knock on it in a certain way: “Three times to hit lightly and twice hard” . Next, you will need to correctly answer the questions of Uncle Merzlyak:

1. (low voice) Yes, it's me.
2. Fifty thousand credits.
3. Um… A little less than sixty.

By choosing these answers, you can safely enter the room. If you fail the test, then you have to break down the door. Either way, you'll get inside. You learn that Sampo was the criminal's "consultant".

He will ask you not to tell the Silvermane Guardians about him. As a reward, he will offer you a third of the amount earned. You will have two options to choose from:

• (Refuse) Do you think I can be bribed? - Sampo will escape anyway, however you will get 2 Adventure Logs.
• (Agree) Okay, agreed - Sampo will run away, and you will receive 5000 credits.

In general, you can choose any option to choose from, since this will not affect the ending of the quest. Return to the museum again and chat with Eris. She will thank you and hand over the note that Sampo left. The guy will express a desire to work in one of the museum halls as a caretaker.

This task will come to an end. As a reward, you will receive 100 exploration experience, 40 star jade, 3 travel guides and 20 thousand jade. Plus, you'll unlock the Cat and Mouse trophy, which rewards you with 5 more Jades.
