Players have reported a bug through the Bethesda Official Discord channel where the door to Natan's room is labeled inaccessible, causing players to be unable to complete the quest objective.

A fix found by other Starfield players in the Bethesda Official Discord suggests going directly to the third floor and walking near Natan's Room until you get an activity update notification. After receiving the update, you can talk to Minerva about the delivery, and the quest should progress normally.

Runaway Walkthrough and Objectives

Main Objectives

1. Obtain Red Harvest Reserve Whiskey
2. Go to Hotel Volii
3. Find Out Which Room Natan is in
4. Speak with Natan
5. Return to Rivkah

1. Obtain Red Harvest Reserve Whiskey

After talking to Rivkah and learning about the situation with her father, talk to Jack in the bar, where you will have three options for obtaining the Whiskey.

You can buy the Whiskey at a full price of 15,000 Credits, Persuade Jack to sell it to you for 600 Credits, or Steal the Whiskey.

(Optional) Steal Red Harvest Reserve Whiskey

If the persuasion fails or you don't want to spend any Credits, stealing the whiskey is the best alternative to get it. Hide first and ensure you're undetected to avoid getting caught. Sneak behind Jack once everything is clear and pickpocket him to get the whiskey.

Invest in Theft Skill and Stealth Skill to do this easily and increase your chance of succeeding!

2-3. Find Out Which Room Natan is In

Following Rivkah's instruction to meet with her father on Neon, head to Hotel Volii, and talk to Minerva Clement and tell her you have a delivery for Natan. Head to the third floor and enter Natan's room after.

Regardless of how you chose to deal with Natan, Rivkah will be pleased, and will thank you for helping her.
