Quest objectives of Mysterious Ways
1. Find the Neuhof bandit in Uzhitz.
I've got to go to Uzhitz and track down that fellow with a limp.
2. Find out where the limping bandit lives.
I suppose it would be best to ask the locals where I can find that fellow with the limp.
Ask any of the villagers.
By asking the locals in Uzhitz, I found out the limping bandit I'm looking for is called Lubosh, and they even told me where he lives.
3. Visit Lubosh.
Lubosh's house should be toward the village edge, by the Neuhof road.
When I got to the limping bandit's cottage, I soon found out things wouldn't be simple. I did find the bandit, but he was done with limping forever. And nailed to the wall of his cottage. It seemed somebody was tying up loose ends.
4. Find out more about Limpy Lubosh.
I'll have to ask around if anyone knows more about this Limpy Lubosh. Maybe I'll learn something useful.
4.1. Talk to the priest.
I should ask the Uzhitz parish priest about Lubosh.
4.1.1. The Confessional Seal
Success:
I went to see the local parish priest, father Godwin, and incredibly I managed to persuade him to reveal what he knew about Lubosh. He couldn't tell me much though, only the names of Lubosh's friends. I hope it's going to be enough. He mentioned a Reeky from Ledetchko, Timmy and a fellow they call Pious.
Fail:
So, I went to see Father Godwin, the local parish priest and tried to persuade him to tell me something about this Lubosh. He told me he couldn't break the confessional seal and tell me what Lubosh had confessed. But he promised me he'd try and figure out some other way to help me.
4.2. (Optional) Meet the parish priest in the tavern in the evening
The priest told me to come and see him in the evening at the alehouse.
4.2.1. Sit down with the priest.
The priest told me to sit down.
4.2.2. Earn the priest's trust.
Now I just need to win his trust.
If you want to gain his trust then you have to answer his questions and drink with him.
4.2.2.1. Help Godwin.
Father Godwin has started a brawl with the Bailiff. I'm not sure I should get mixed up in it.
I vaguely recall, for a while everything was merry and then someone came along and spoiled the fun. Maybe the Bailiff? Anyway, I do recollect that Father Godwin wasn't happy about it and next thing I knew there was a brawl!
4.2.2.2. Climb the bell tower.
All of a sudden I find myself in front of the bell tower. How the hell did I get here? And Father Godwin is showing off in front of the women. He says we're going to ring the bell!
I seem to remember a bell, tits and... considering I spent the night with a holy man, a lot of blasphemy and sin.
Success:
I have but a dim recollection of what went on in the tavern and I think I'd rather forget even that.
Fail:
Unfortunately I didn't learn anything useful about Limpy Lubosh from the Parish Priest.
4.2.3. Drinking binge
Come morning, the priest woke up in a very ungodly state. It dawned on him he was supposed to say mass and really wasn't up to the job.
4.2.4. Give the sermon in church instead of Father Godwin.
Father Godwin, who could hardly walk after his escapades of the previous night, came up with the insane idea that I should preach from the pulpit for him! He says if I give a sermon about the teachings of the famed preacher Master Jan Hus, he'll tell me what he knows about Lubosh.
Father Godwin, who could hardly walk after his escapades of the previous night, came up with the insane idea that I should preach from the pulpit for him! He says if I give a sermon about the teachings of the famed preacher Master Jan Hus, he'll tell me what he knows about Lubosh. Only I was in no fit state to give any sermon.
4.2.5. Sermon
Success:
Father Godwin, who could hardly walk after his escapades of the previous night, came up with the insane idea that I should preach from the pulpit for him! He says if I give a sermon about the teachings of the famed preacher Master Jan Hus, he'll tell me what he knows about Lubosh. My sermon went down surprisingly well and Father Godwin was so grateful he did tell me what Lubosh had confessed to him. It wasn't much, but at least I know the nicknames of his cronies. He mentioned some Reeky from Ledetchko, Timmy and Pious.
Fail:
Father Godwin, who could hardly walk after his escapades of the previous night, came up with the insane idea that I should preach from the pulpit for him! He says if I give a sermon about the famed preacher Master Jan Hus, he'll tell me what he knows about Lubosh. This whole affair with Godwin should never have happened. The sermon was a disaster. It's a wonder the villagers didn't burn us at the stake! And what's more, I got nothing out of Godwin about Lubosh.
5. Find out if anyone knows anything about Limpy Lubosh.
So I'm right back where I started. I'll have to ask around if anyone else knows about Lubosh - maybe the town Bailiff? If not, perhaps Sir Radzig or Sir Hanush can advise me.
You can find Bailiff in the scribe's house in Uzhitz.
I was back where I started. So I asked around again and found out there might be some record of Limpy Lubosh in the Rattay Black Chronicle and maybe I could find some clue there.
6. Look through the Rattay Black Chronicle for any record of Lubosh.
There are records in the Rattay Black Chronicle about local reprobates, hopefully including Lubosh and his cronies.
You can read the chronicles yourself. They are located in a locked room. Scribe will open the door if you help him.
I looked at the Rattay Black Chronicle. There was a record in it that could well be about Lubosh's cronies, but I didn't know if that was enough to help me find any of them.
6.1. Continue according to the clues in the Black Chronicle.
There really was a mention of Lubosh's cronies in the Black Chronicle. And it seems one of them even lives close by. Now to track him down.
7. Talk to the Rattay scribe.
Friedrich the Rattay scribe can surely help me. Only I've a feeling he'll expect something from me in return...
I thought Friedrich the Rattay scribe would help me out with the Black Chronicle. He was willing, but not out of the goodness of his heart! He wanted me to get him some embrocation for his aching knees.
8. Get embrocation for the Rattay scribe's aching joints.
I have to go to the Apothecary Konyash in Rattay to get embrocation for the scribe so he'll let me look in the Black Chronicle.
That's the most expensive ointment I've ever come across, but I managed to get some in the end.
9. (Optional) Get the scribe to help you.
Now I have to bring the ointment to the scribe and he should show me the Black Chronicle. If I can't figure out the records for myself, I expect he can help me with that.
Go back to the scribe and give him the ointment. Follow him to the next room, then talk to him again and tell him that you can't read.
Friedrich really helped me in exchange for getting him the embrocation. Apparently, one of Lubosh's accomplices was holed up in Ledetchko!
10. Log: the player knows about Lubosh visiting father Godwin.
I found out from the Uzhitz folk that while Lubosh was a nasty piece of work, lately he'd taken to religion and spend lot of time in the church talking to the priest.
11. Sit down with the priest.
I was supposed to go and meet the priest at the tavern in the evening, which I did, because I was very curious what he would have to say.
I was supposed to go and meet the priest at the tavern in the evening, but I didn't make it on time. I hope I haven't spoiled my last chance of finding out anything about Lubosh.
12. Apologize to the priest.
After completing Mysterious Ways you will get or will be able to get On the Scent.
