Additional quests in Detective Girl of the Steam City

Detective Girl of the Steam City is not a bad game created on RPG Maker. The game has a bunch of quests, there is even a variation of passing, but it completely lacks the log of quests.

Many players because of this fact is simply missing half of the content, or even finish passing before reaching the finale.

That’s why I decided to write a walkthrough of the side quests in Detective Girl of the Steam City.

Before the description of the passage itself, it’s worth to describe the gameplay mechanics of the game.

Game mechanics in Detective Girl of the Steam City

This RPG-maker game has an unexpectedly pleasant number of unconventional mechanics and characteristics. Let’s start with the most ambiguous of them all.

About sanity

The first thing worth mentioning… Since this kind of game is mostly bought for the sake of H-content, an important feature of this game is the degree of promiscuity of the main character. In translation, promiscuity is called the scale of sanity.

The most important thing you need to know is that this scale of sanity doesn’t influence the gameplay, no matter what branch of events you are going to choose – playing for gangs or for police – the main character’s promiscuity doesn’t matter. Moreover, most of the side quests, on the contrary, require increased promiscuity, so, as they say, walk your hand, play the pisser.

About skills

The heroine has 6 passive skills: Eloquence, Surveillance, Castle Breaking, Espionage, Healing and Charm. Each of these skills (except Charms) is pumped with detective points. Detective points are gained by completing primary and secondary quests and are limited in number.

1. Eloquence.

In some quests gives the opportunity to convince the target through conversations.

Useful only in a couple of quests, it is not worth learning this skill, especially if you want to get all the H-content in the game, for which there is almost identical skill – charm.

On combat maps, the skill allows you to persuade a rank-and-file opponent not to fight Sophia. At level 3 of eloquence, the chance to persuade the enemy will be 100%, which essentially allows you to pass through combat maps without fighting (but you still have to fight the bosses).

The skill develops NPCs, which opens only after completing the additional quest “Tour Guide”.

2. Observation.

This skill is required in most tasks from the police – it will help the main character to find clues in investigations. Without proper development of the Observation skill, the heroine simply will not notice certain things (many items will be inactive for inspection). Upgrading the skill to level 3 unlocks the combat skill “Anticipation”, which increases the chance of hitting and dodging by 20% for 10 turns.

This skill is upgraded by Detective Metcalfe, his house is located in the “First-class hotel” location.

3. Lock picking

Allows you to pick locked locks – such doors and chests are marked by a special icon in the game.

Behind the locked doors and chests there are materials for upgrading weapons and active skills. The second level of skill is needed to pass one side quest (but it has no h-content).

Trains NPC hacking skills on the second floor of the Black Dog Asylum (location on the map – Gangster Asylum)

4. Espionage

Developing this skill unlocks a special stealth attack. To do this on the battle map you need to approach the enemy from behind. Starting from the second level of skill development, the stealth attack will make the enemy miss the first move. On the third level, the heroine with a certain chance will instantly kill the enemy caught by surprise.

The skill is pumped in the same place as the lock picking, on the second floor of the black dogs’ hideout. Whether to pump or not – it’s up to you to decide, there is no practical use of this skill.

5. Treatment

In the process of passing the quest line for the bandits you will not once meet the healer on the locations.

He is the one who teaches you the skill of self-healing. The first level restores 100 HP, the second 200, the third 500 HP. For a comfortable passing it is enough to learn 1 level of the skill.

6. Charm

The only skill in the game that does not require detective points to develop. This skill allows you to seduce in-game characters and some enemies. In order for the ability to work 100% of the time, you will have to develop it to level 3.

Upgrading the ability is quite logical – in the brothel called “Fairy”, which is located in the location “Gangster Asylum”. For the first level you need 75 intelligence, for the second – 50, for the third level you need to drop as low as 25.

Active Skills

Our heroine has only 3 active skills. All of them are pumped in the workshop for the resources extracted from the chests.

1. NV points (night vision) – Increases the range of vision in dark locations. In the game such locations are not dangerous and represented only in one form – sewers. Spend resources on the development of night vision makes no sense – at most develop up to 2 levels and forget it.

2. Steam knuckles. Improving this skill increases the basic attack from our knuckles. To deal more or less adequate damage you should pump it first.

3. Wire gun is an active ability, which allows us to move on the rooftops by pressing A on the keyboard. The 1st level of the skill consumes 20SP, each successive level of pumping reduces the consumption of SP by 2 units. It is not necessary to pump – it’s better to invest all available components in the steam knuckles.

Side quests in Detective Girl

The game is completely broken system notification on the quests. There is no quest log, instead, in the left corner is displayed the current progress of the last quest taken.

To orient yourself in the world of the game use the map. You can call it through your inventory – it’s located on the “Important Item” tab.

I hope this guide will help you not to miss all the extra content in Detective Girl of the Steam City =)

Talking old man

Requirements: No. This is the first side quest. Like most side quests, it is given through the activation of a table in our house (Detective’s Office).

1. Listen to the old man and answer all his questions correctly. The correct answers are: Seven, Carrier, Golden Pendant.

Requirements: No. The assignment is given by a suspicious man in West London.

There is a suspicious man standing in the west end of the city, near the First Class Hotel:

His name is Detective Arthur, and he asks Sophie to help investigate a private club. Accept – it’s the only source of “asshole” adventure in the whole game.

It turns out that the secret club essentially trains slave girls. To fully complete the quest we need to go through 4 of these trainings. Each subsequent training requires a reduced level of intelligence – 75, 50 and 25.

You can come to the club once a day, to quickly switch the day enough to sleep in any pub or in the office of the detective.

The quest NPC is located in the “Amelia’s Workshop” location. Puppeteer needs parts of analytical machine to complete his android.

New Mask

Requirements: No requirements. The quest is given at the Detective’s Office, in our home location.

A simple quest. You need to come to Northeast London (on the map it appears as the Industrial District).

2. The mask can be found in two different ways.

1. During the extra quest “Stubborn Inventor”;
2. You can buy the mask from a local merchant and this is the recommended option.

In order to buy a high-efficiency filter from a merchant you need to chat with a bartender in any bar, he will mention the presence of such a merchant in the south London area (landmark – Amelia’s Workshop)

3. You can negotiate with the merchant in different ways.

1. You can buy a high-performance filter for full price.
2. Seduce the merchant with the skill of seduction level 3 (you will need to lower the level of reason to 25 and learn seduction in the brothel). This way you get a small discount on the item itself + H-scene;
3. Persuade the trader with the skill level 3 “Eloquence”. The skill can be mastered only after completing the quest “guide”. In this case, the High Efficiency Filter will get you for free.

Attention! Bug. If you have already started to lure the merchant, obtaining a highly effective filter as part of the “Stubborn Inventor” quest will not lead to the desired result. The old man will not see the filter in your inventory. You’ll have to buy the filter back, or convince the merchant to give it to you for free (Eloquence 3).

Either way, if you bring the high-performance filter to the old man, you’ll get $120 and 1 detective point.
