Vagrants and Scamps Walkthrough

Go to The Steambird

Walk up the steps going to The Steambird to begin the quest! Talk to Venck and Euphrasie by the office's entrance.

Look for clues at the scene

Investigate all glowing spots nearby The Steambird to collect the clues needed to learn more about the potential culprit. Walk around the area and be sure retrive all clues.

Organize the current clues

Choose the clue about the footsteps in order to figure out how many people are associated on the night Sir Arthur went missing. Then pick the notes about Rocher to lead your character to the next location!

Go to the pier

A location on the map should appear. Go to the suspicious looking group by the pier. Prepare for a fight with the Treasure Hoarders!

Search for traces of the Vagrant Rocher

Look around the camp to find the Vagrant Rocher. Talochard and Curve will be on standby to talk to within the area.

Talk to the person hiding in the chest

Break the box near the shore and talk to the man who was hiding in it. You'll learn that it was Rocher hiding in the crate!

Find a way to break Rocher's Argument

Rocher won't tell you the truth so it's time to use some clues against him! Show the used wine bottle to the Freed Puppy.

Let the puppy sniff the clues

After talking to Rocher, hand over the simple button to Lombroso and let him sniff it. Follow the puppy as it leads you to the next area of interest!

Go to the house ahead

You'll find a house by the shore then see a mother and son on the wooden planks. Go to Kevin and ask about the blade then clear the enemies surrounding him!

Go underwater to search for the blade

Go to where Kevin threw away the blade and head to the location marked on the map by him. Use a Xenochromatic Armored Crab ability to break the rock and then take the knife in it. Return to the shore afterwards and Talk to Talochard on the docks.

Doesn't cover the whole quest. If it was linked somewhere it needs to be obvious for people to notice
