The Changeling's Route

*This entry refers to content from the original Pathologic (2005) and the Pathologic Classic HD remaster. It has nothing to do with the sequel.*

This page is a summary of the actions taken by the Changeling in her route. It assumes that all quests are completed successfully; however, quests do not necessarily need to be completed in the order presented here.

As this page is essentially walkthrough of the Changeling Route, there will be heavy spoilers throughout.

## Special Mechanics

The Changeling has a few special mechanics that are different from the other healers.

* The Changeling's POV camera is closer to the ground.
* The Changeling's unarmed attack is slower.
* The only weapons the Changeling can equip are Scalpels and Double Barrelled Pistols. All other weapons are placed in the "Other" category of her inventory, and cannot be used.
* Lockpicks can stack in the Changeling's inventory up to 10.
* The Changeling can cure infected townsfolk by using her unarmed attack on them, which grants Reputation at the cost of Health. Note that this process is very slow, and the infected townsfolk will infect her unless she steps away. (This will not affect the result of the ritual; once initiated, it will complete regardless of the distance between the Changeling and the target.)
	+ However, she cannot heal sick or dying townsfolk in this way, and attempting to do so will injure or kill the target, respectively, causing Reputation to drop. The latter also results in a special attack animation where the Changeling moves as if cradling their head before snapping their neck.
* The Changeling's Reputation constantly decreases at a rate of **-2.8%/hour** whenever she is not sleeping.

Additionally, the Changeling can participate in rat races and pick Herbs as the Haruspex can, though she cannot mix herbs into Twyrine Extracts.

Note that despite the Changeling claiming in dialogue that she is immune to the Plague, she is just as susceptible to infection as the other Healers.

## Day 1

The Changeling begins with **33% Reputation, 50% Hunger, 50% Exhaustion, and 100% Immunity**. The immunity is purely for flavor, as it will naturally drop to the standard 50% long before the Changeling encounters any source of infection.

Unlike other healers, the Changeling does not start with any money. The Changeling starts with the following items in her inventory:

* 2 Lockpicks
* Drapery (100% durability)
* Tourniquet
* Morphine
* Milk
* Fresh Meat
* 3 Fishing Hooks, 2 Needles, and 2 Flowers
* 30 Kerosene

Additionally, Nina's grave contains 3 Bread instead of 1 Bread and 1 Milk as in other routes on this day.

The Changeling wakes up in a shallow grave in the Cemetery. There is an Executor and a Tragedian standing at the doorway of Grace's Lodge who she may speak to to learn about the game mechanics.

When the Changeling enters the lodge, she meets Grace and Katerina Saburova.

### Main Quest: "The Harbinger"

Grace tells the Changeling that they already spoke last night and said she was going to visit "Grandfather", but the Changeling has no memory of this. Katerina has had a prophetic vision that a set of twins will come to the Town, one good and one evil, and believes the Changeling to be the good one. After speaking to Grace and Katerina, the Changeling will be directed to speak to Alexander Saburov. It seems the Changeling is being accused of being a thief and to clear her name, Saburov tells her to meet someone by the Train Station, who is to witness her perform a healing miracle.

At the Train Station there are two muggers standing near the carriages who the Changeling can kill for some reputation (though this will be very difficult without obtaining the Double Barrelled Pistol from the "For Those With the Freedom of Choice" quest; see below). Behind the rocks nearby she will find the man Saburov told her about hiding from the muggers. She will speak to him and find a Doghead nearby who she must try to cure to prove herself.

The Changeling talks to the Doghead, Lika, and learns he was attacked by the Haruspex (a reference to the Haruspex quest "The Filthy Little Toad and the Waifs"). If questioned further, Lika will reveal that he stole a Shmowder from a member of the Soul-and-a-Halves who was keeping the shmowder in case his sister got infected. Lika was caught during the theft and killed the boy, and now plans to give the shmowder to the Dogheads. The Changeling can express disgust at Lika's actions and leave, or she can attempt to heal him; if she attempts to heal him, her hands kill him instead. (His body can be looted for 1 Lockpick.) Saburov's witness believes this proves the Changeling to be a harbinger and a saint who can judge the guilty as well as heal the innocent. However, she still needs to cure someone for Saburov. The man tells her there may be an injured man at Grace's lodge, a survivor from the group who attacked the Haruspex last night.

When she returns to Grace, the Changeling learns that the injured man had been taken away by the Haruspex. The Haruspex can be found in the Haruspex's Lair, an abandoned factory building in the Works, just south of the train tracks. However, the Changeling finds only the Haruspex there and no injured man. The Haruspex tells her the man escaped and crawled away up the river. The Changeling will finally find him at the Willows. There, she can speak to Anna Angel and the Bachelor.

The Changeling heals the man in front of the gathered townsfolk, Anna, and the Bachelor, gaining **25% Reputation**. She talks to the Bachelor again, who agrees to testify to her miraculous healing powers, before returning to Saburov. He now believes that she is a true saint, and she will receive a further **+10% Reputation**. Saburov and Katerina offer to take her in as an adopted daughter.

Due to a coding oversight, the injured man will appear in Anna's house as soon as this quest is received, and he can be healed and the quest completed without needing to complete the previous steps.

If the Changeling possesses a weapon, she can kill the injured man for a severe reputation penalty. This will soft-lock the quest, as it cannot be completed without healing the injured man.

### Side Quest: "For Those With the Freedom of Choice"

After healing the injured man, the Changeling can talk to Anna again. Anna is hysterically afraid of the Haruspex, claiming that he killed a boy by the Warehouses and fears he will come for her next. The Changeling heads to the Soul-and-a-Half Fortress and speaks to Notkin, whom she questions about the Haruspex. He confirms that the Haruspex accepted a request to kill a boy who betrayed their gang, but Notkin regrets his hotheaded decision now that he has had time to reflect. The Changeling may connect the dots that this boy was Lika and confess to killing him, but Notkin will not react to this. Returning to Anna will complete the quest.

Rewards:

* **1500 Coins** from Anna
* Empty **Double Barrelled Pistol** (100% durability) if the Changeling asks "He didn't need it himself?" when Notkin mentions that the Haruspex left a gun behind.

### Side Quest: "The Hooks (Truth Revealing Itself)"

After completing the main quest, Saburov will ask the Changeling to question Georgiy using her powers. In order to do so, she requires a person's real name and a secret about them. To gain the necessary information, the Changeling speaks to Katerina. Katerina will give the Changeling her list of Bound and also reveal that Georgiy does not actually love his brother, nor were they actually twins.

The Changeling then speaks to Georgiy, who will not speak to her until after she talks to Maria Kaina. After speaking to Maria, the Changeling returns to Georgiy and is able to question him using the phrase "Georgiy, oh Georgiy, I know you this..." Georgiy reveals that he is certain Simon was murdered, as he cannot believe Simon could die through natural means, but he is not certain of the murderer's identity. She then returns to Saburov.

If the Changeling uses the wrong phrase, Georgiy will not be hypnotized and the quest will be failed.

Rewards:

* **+10 Reputation**

## Day 2

For the next several days starting from **Day 2**, the Changeling will receive quests each day from Alexander Saburov and Katerina Saburova. If she does not speak with them before the afternoon, she will receive a letter from Saburov asking her to see them.

### Main Quest: "Spirit of the Restless Kin"

Saburov is beginning his search for who or what caused the Plague. He asks the Changeling to start by investigating Aspity. To learn more about Aspity, the Changeling speaks to Vlad the Younger and Big Vlad. If the Changeling is careful about her speech, she may be able to receive a random amount of money between 2000 and 3000 from Big Vlad.

The Changeling then talks to Aspity who refuses to speak until the Changeling can bring her the Haruspex. He will be at his lair in the Works. The Changeling returns to Aspity and uses what she learned to hypnotize Aspity. She learns that although Aspity is not responsible for the Plague, she has done other evil things.

The Changeling then returns to Saburov to tell him what she learned. She can either choose to hand over Aspity, which boosts her reputation but leads to Aspity getting infected, or she can tell Saburov that Aspity is innocent, at a cost to her reputation.

Outcomes:

* **-10 Reputation** if Changeling rules Aspity not guilty
* **+10 Reputation** and **Aspity is infected** if Changeling rules Aspity guilty

### Side Quest: "Grace"

Katerina wants the Changeling to help her convince Grace to change from the Termites - the faction belonging to the Haruspex - to the Humbles - the faction belonging to the Changeling. She directs the Changeling to speak to Lara Ravel who knows how to gain Grace's trust. The Changeling should bring **a loaf of Bread, a Flower, and a bottle of Milk** to the Cemetery.

After talking with Grace, the Changeling returns to Katerina. She may tell Katerina that Grace has changed factions to gain reputation or say that she failed and lose reputation. Either option may be chosen regardless of the actual outcome of the conversation with Grace.

Outcomes:

* **-10 Reputation** if Changeling reports failure
* **+10 Reputation** if Changeling reports success

### Side Quest: "The Curative Substances"

While talking to Vlad Jr. about Aspity, the Changeling may learn that Anna Angel has a rather large stockpile of medicine which is now needed for the Town. The Changeling heads to the Willows and can choose to take the medicine from Anna right away and bring it back to Vlad Jr. or she can choose to first hear what Anna has to say. Anna will tell her the rumours that the Haruspex is capable of mixing herbs to make medicine with similar antibiotic properties.

To learn more, the Changeling heads to the gathering huts out in the Steppe and talks to the Worms there. Only the one at the hut closest to the Cemetery will offer her information and tells her to talk to Andrey Stamatin at his pub. He confirms the efficacy of the Haruspex's brews. The Changeling can then return to Anna and get the medicine from her: **5 Alpha-Tablets** and **5 Beta-Tablets**.

When talking to Vlad Jr., the Changeling has several options, each of which will give her different rewards.

If she tells Vlad Jr. about the Haruspex:

* **1000 Coins**
* **+10 Reputation**

If she says that the Haruspex can't make good medicine:

* **100 Coins**

If she hands over the medicine from Anna:

* **500 Coins**
* Possibly due to a coding oversight, the Changeling will keep 1 each of the tablets.

If she tells Vlad Jr. that she's keeping the medicine:

* **-5 Reputation**

### Side Quest: "The Living"

When talking to Lara, she will ask the Changeling for help in finding her friend, the Harpist. Lara will show the Changeling where he is. The Changeling will need a Lockpick to enter the house and finds it infected. She quickly finds the Harpist upstairs and talks to him. On her way out, she will run into the Bachelor who is surprised to see her, as he had apparently just seen her at Anna's house. The Changeling returns to Lara to complete the quest.

Rewards:

* **2000 Coins** or **+5 Reputation** if refused

## Day 3

Unrelated to any quest, Maria Kaina has unique dialogue on this day. If the Changeling goads her, she will receive a small Reputation boost.How much?

### Main Quest: "Seeds of the Caravan"

Today, Alexander Saburov will ask the Changeling to investigate Anna Angel. She will tell the Changeling that she has received threatening letters and believes Big Vlad to be responsible. She advises the Changeling speak to his children. (Despite the Changeling claiming in dialogue that Big Vlad has barred his door to her, she can enter his house and speak with him without issue, though he will have no special dialogue.) Both will attest that the Olgimiskys have not threatened Anna, and suggest that the threats are the result of her past with the Aces of Diamonds Caravan. Additionally, Capella believes that Khan is the sender based on the signature on the letter.

The Changeling returns to Anna to report what she has learned, and can then hypnotize Anna to question her. Anna reveals that she used to be ugly and mute, and willingly joined the Caravan as a child because she believed they would make her a singer. However, despite their rituals, she did not transform. When the Caravan was attacked at Orv, she fled with Var. A few years prior, around the time of the first outbreak, she grew frustrated with her ugliness and used an arcane ritual to swap bodies with Willow Mellow; this is her sin, which she believes the Plague has come to punish. The Changeling returns to Saburov to deliver her judgment.

Outcomes:

* **-10 Reputation** if Changeling rules Anna not guilty
* **+10 Reputation** and **Anna is infected** if Changeling rules Anna guilty

### Side Quest: "Eva"

Today, Katerina Saburova will ask the Changeling to convert Eva Yan from being the Utopians to the Humbles. She suggests that the Changeling first speak with Yulia Lyuricheva to learn more about Eva.

When speaking to Yulia, the Changeling can tell Yulia that her calculations are wrong and **gain 30 Reputation**, but the quest will end there and she will be unable to speak to Eva. If the Changeling agrees with Yulia, she will gain the necessary hook for Eva: That she loves the Bachelor and will die for him. She then speaks to Eva and can convince her to become a Humble.

The Changeling returns to Katerina to report her success or failure. Either option may be chosen regardless of the actual outcome of the conversation with Eva.

Outcomes:

* **-10 Reputation** if Changeling reports failure
* **1000 Coins** and **+10 Reputation** if Changeling reports success

### Side Quest: "Who Will Injure the Bachelor?"

While talking to Anna, the Changeling may ask her to find out what the Bachelor and Stanislav Rubin are doing. Anna senses that Simon Kain is still alive, and believes the two -- possibly even Simon himself -- are conspiring something to do with his body. To find out where they are, she talks to Eva at the Stillwater. If she threatens Eva, Eva will refuse to talk to her and the quest will be failed. To succeed, she must tell Eva either that she wants to give the Bachelor some medicine or that Anna is going to reveal his location to the Haruspex and he must be warned. Eva will then tell the Changeling that he is likely in the warehouses with Rubin at Rubin's Prosectorium.

The Bachelor will not be there, but the Changeling can talk to Rubin. He will ask her not to reveal his location to the Kains and offers her vaccines, which the Changeling can refuse. Though the quest will then be marked complete, the Changeling can additionally speak to the Kains and sell Rubin out. However, only Victor Kain will hear her out and give her a reward.

Rewards:

* **2 Black Vaccines** from Rubin (unless refused)
* **2000 Coins** from Victor or **+5 Reputation** if refused

Additional outcomes:

* **-10 Reputation** if Maria spoken to
* **-30 Reputation** if Georgiy spoken to, or **-50 Reputation** if the Changeling acts like his spells work on her

### Side Quest: "Who Will Sting the Haruspex?"

While talking to Capella, she may tell the Changeling that she sent the Bachelor to investigate the Shmowders, but he has not reported back (a reference to the Bachelor quest "Off to Battle Went the Boy"). Capella will mark a house where the Changeling may be able to find the Bachelor. When she talks to the Bachelor, he tells her that he is looking for the Haruspex as well.

Loafer will be in the same location he was in the Bachelor's route, across the yard and in an alcove formed by two connected houses. The Changeling can talk to him and receive the Shmowder from him, but unlike in the corresponding Bachelor quest she will not be infected.

The Haruspex will be in the house opposite from where Loafer was standing. He asks the Changeling to keep his location a secret and offers her Twyrine Extracts The Changeling may return to the Bachelor and tell him the Haruspex's location in exchange for a reward, or tell him she couldn't find him to end the quest.

The Changeling can now tell Capella that she has located the Bachelor. If she lies and says the Bachelor tested the medicine she will receive a reputation boost, but if she tells the truth and says that he is hunting for the Haruspex, she will receive nothing.

Rewards:

* **Shmowder** from Loafer
* 2 **Twyrine Extract** (+40%/-1% & +20%/-8%) from the Haruspex
* **2000 Coins** and **1 Neomycinium** from the Bachelor if informed of Haruspex's location
* **+5 Reputation** from Capella if the Changeling reports the Bachelor is testing the medicine, or **+2 Reputation** if she says she doesn't know

## Day 4

### Main Quest: "Robbers and Cutthroats"

Today, Alexander Saburov fingers Bad Grief as a potential source of the Plague, based on rumours that he has been throwing infected bodies into the river. Grief will say that he had nothing to do with it and that Notkin can vouch for him. Although Notkin will vouch for Grief, he reveals that Grief is involved in an illicit twyrine trade and that there is apparently something he has been hiding. He will also provide Grief's true name: Grigory Filin.

The Changeling returns to Grief and tries to hypnotize him by asserting that he knew about the Plague beforehand and stocked up on twyrine to profit from it. However, this fails, which Grief attributes to a warding talisman he wars. Grief says that he will answer her questions honestly if she does a favour for him: Steal a sack from Barley the Barber, who he claims is the one actually responsible.

Several muggers are present around the empty warehouse where Barley is hiding, and they will attack the Changeling if they notice her. She can sneak around them or kill them. The warehouse itself is guarded by a mugger who cannot be avoided, but he is not aggressive and can be spoken to. He consents to the Changeling laying hands upon him, which will kill him instantly.

Inside the warehouse, the Changeling finds Barley. After talking to him, she tricks him by saying there's something around the corner. He goes to check and realizes she lied to him and becomes aggressive. The Changeling can try to kill him, but some rats will also appear, so she should grab the bag and quickly escape from the warehouse.

The Changeling gives the bag to Saburov to discover it contains Sergeant Wolf's head. She then returns to Grief, who answers her questions as promised, though he asks her not to bother with her spell. If the Changeling does as he asks, his answers are evasive and the quest will be marked failed. If the Changeling does hypnotize him, this time by asserting he was the real killer, it will work and he will give her straight answers: He was indeed the true mastermind behind the killings, and used Barley as a scapegoat. However, the mastermind behind the illicit twyrine trade isn't him, but Big Vlad; his children know nothing about it. Finally, he begs the Changeling to spare him, saying that he'll be useful to her in the coming days. The Changeling returns to Saburov to deliver her judgment.

Outcomes:

* **-10 Reputation** if Changeling rules Grief not guilty
* **+10 Reputation** and **Grief is infected** if Changeling rules Grief guilty

### Side Quest: "The Puppeteer"

Katerina Saburova wants the Changeling to talk to Mark Immortell and tell him to stop the Theatre from being turned into a hospital (a reference to the Bachelor quest "Sanitary Measures"). When she gets to the Theatre, the Changeling learns that he is not there and the door has been locked. There will be Executors standing by the door. They will tell her that Mark has gone to see Maria Kaina. The Changeling may choose to give them money to help care for the sick.

* **-500 Coins** for **+10 Reputation** if money given to the Executors

Maria and Mark will be found inside Maria's house at the Crucible. The Changeling does not have to talk to Maria before speaking with Mark, but should she choose to do so, she has to be careful about what she says.

* If she tells Maria that she got the wrong door: **-10 Reputation**
* If she tells Maria that she hates her: **-30 Reputation**
* If she tells Maria that she is not a saint: **+10 Reputation**
	+ However, speaking rudely after that will punish her with **-30 Reputation**

The Changeling talks to Mark, who tells her that Katerina considers the Theatre important because of the creature that lives there, a spirit who whispers prophecies to her. The Changeling returns to the Theatre and enters to find the Rat Prophet standing on the stage. After talking to the Rat Prophet, she returns to Katerina.

Rewards:

* **+5 Reputation** if Changeling *does not* tell Katerina about the Rat Prophet
* **+10 Reputation** if Changeling *does* tell Katerina about the Rat Prophet

### Side Quest: "The Raid"

The Changeling will receive a letter from Lara Ravel who tells her that the Haruspex is being hunted and asks for her help. She talks to Saburov, who will ask for her help in arresting the Haruspex.

The Haruspex will be found on the first floor of a house in the infected district, the Works. The house is just to the right of the quest marker on her map. Once she has found him, the Changeling can either warn him of Saburov's trap to fulfill Lara's request, or lure him into the trap to fulfill Saburov's request.

Reward:

* **Etorphine** and **2 Smoked Meat** from Lara if Haruspex warned
* **500 Coins** and **+10 Reputation** from Saburov if Haruspex deceived

*The Haruspex's location*

## Day 5

Starting from **Day 5** until the end of the game, the Changeling can participate in Rat Races.

### Main Quest: "Rubin's Communion"

Today, Alexander Saburov wants the Changeling to investigate if Stanislav Rubin is responsible for the outbreak of the Plague. To start looking for him, the Changeling visits Vlad the Younger, who asks her not to give up Rubin to the Kains. He tells her that Rubin can be found in the warehouses, at Rubin's Prosectorium, and that she should bring him **3 bottles of Twyrine and 3 pieces of Fresh Meat**. (3 bottles of Twyrine are available for purchase at the Broken Hearts Pub, while 5 more can be obtained in the side quest "The Twins"; the extra bottles can be exchanged with guardsmen for Fresh Meat.)

Rubin tells the Changeling that he has been using Simon Kain's blood to make Vaccines and says he will only tell her more if she can convince Georgiy Kain to forgive him. She finds Georgiy at the Crucible and he agrees to forgive Rubin, regardless of if the Changeling claims he is guilty or innocent. Returning to Rubin, he tells her that he cannot return Simon's body to the Kains and gives some information about the Shabnak-Adyr supposedly wandering the Town.

The Changeling talks to Saburov about what she learned. This time, he will decide to leave Rubin alone no matter what the Changeling says.

Rewards:

* **+10 Reputation**

### Side Quest: "The Twins"

Today, Katerina Saburova wants the Changeling to convince the Stamatin brothers - Peter Stamatin and Andrey Stamatin - to join the Humbles. The Changeling first visits Peter who will listen to what she says, but refuses to make a decision without his brother.

At Andrey Stamatin's Pub, instead of Andrey, the Changeling will find another man who says that Andrey is in hiding due to various arrests ordered by Saburov. She asks Saburov to leave Andrey alone for a while and Andrey appears back at his pub. The Changeling will not be able to convince Andrey to change to the Humbles and he will become angry, no matter what she says. She returns to Peter and can attempt to lie to him or be honest about what Andrey said; either way, he won't join the Humbles either. If she lies to him, Peter won't take the faith seriously anyway. If she's honest, he will give her Twyrine.

The Changeling returns to Katerina with the news. Katerina becomes angry at the Changeling's failure.

Rewards:

* **5 Twyrine** from Peter if you are honest with him
* **-2 Reputation** upon reporting to Katerina

### Side Quest: "The Cathedral"

The Changeling receives a letter from Capella in the evening. Capella wants the Changeling to find out if everything is alright in the Cathedral, as she had a vision of something terrible happening, and asks her to also speak with Maria Kaina. Maria says she also had a vision about the Cathedral and directs the Changeling to speak to the Bachelor. If the Changeling says she's scared to meet him, Maria will give her money.

The Bachelor will be found inside of the Stillwater. He can't let her into the Cathedral, as he doesn't have the key, and isn't allowed to visit the building himself anyway. She talks to the guards outside of the Cathedral to find out if she can slip in. They will ask for **20 bottles of water**. After giving them the water, she can enter the Cathedral. She discovers that everyone inside the Cathedral is healthy.

The Changeling returns to Capella. Her reward depends on what she tells Capella.

Rewards:

* **4000 Coins** from Maria if you tell her you are afraid of the Bachelor
* *If you tell Capella Maria was evil*: **4000 Coins**
* *If you ask Capella to help your reputation:* **+10 Reputation**
* *If you tell Capella Maria wasn't bad*: **5000 Coins** and **+2 Reputation**

### Side Quest: "Best Friend"

The Changeling receives a letter from Grace in the afternoon. She talks to Grace, who tells her that the Changeling's "best friend" will be waiting for her at the Ragi Barrow at 21:00.

When approaching the Ragi Barrow, the Changeling encounters four looters. They are hostile and will attack her. If killed, each of them will drop several pieces of jewelry (rings, bangles, or earrings).

At 21:00, the Albino will appear at the base of the hill and make his way up to the top of Ragi Barrow, stopping at the sacrificial slab. The Changeling can talk with him and learn a lot about herself and where she came from. He will also warn her to stock up on supplies, as tomorrow everyone will turn against her.

There are no material rewards aside from the jewelry that can be looted from the looters.

## Day 6

Starting from **Day 6** until the end of the game, the Changeling will have a side quest to find her twin sister as well as her sister's followers. The Changeling will receive letters from her sister every day if she sleeps for at least four hours cumulatively on said day.

If the Changeling does not force her sister to leave, the district that her sister was hiding in will become permanently infected. After the Changeling forces her sister to leave, a group of her sister's followers will appear somewhere in the Town. If the Changeling cannot force her sister's followers to disperse, the district that they were gathering in will become permanently infected.

When she wakes up, the Changeling notices her reputation is dropping twice as quickly as usual. (She will lose 100 reputation in 18 hours, rather than the usual 100 reputation in 36 hours).

### Side Quest: "Charon"

Katerina Saburova wants the Changeling to convince Vlad the Younger to change to the Humbles. To learn more about Vlad Jr., the Changeling speaks to Capella. Capella asks the Changeling to give Vlad Jr. a book of fairy tales. When she brings him the book, he will refuse to accept it as he wants to sacrifice himself for what happened to the Termitary.

The Changeling returns to Katerina and tells her what happened. Katerina says that results don't matter anymore, as the Inquisitor will arrive in Town tomorrow. If the Changeling returns to Katerina after speaking with Yulia in the "Angel of Death" quest, Katerina will be hostile and the quest will be failed.

### Side Quest: "Little Sister"

The Changeling will receive this quest after obtaining her sister's letter for this day. The letter states that her sister can see an alarm bell from her window; this refers to the bell in the Cathedral's courtyard. The Changeling will find her sister on the second floor of the third house in the row of houses that to the left of the Cathedral. It is the house next to the garden entrance. The Changeling talks to her and chases her away.

Her sister's followers will appear in a small yard behind a food shop located directly across from the empty fenced area next to the Termitary. The Changeling must prove that she is the real harbinger and perform a miracle for them to disperse. She should not pretend to be her sister, the "bad" Clara, whom they are waiting for; if she does, an infected rat will spawn and begin attacking her.

### Side Quest: "Sister"

The Changeling will receive a letter from the Albino who apparently has to escape from the Town. She talks to Grace about it and Grace warns her that there are people who wish to harm him. On her way to Ragi Barrow, the Changeling will find several arsonists. The arsonists have standard loot (money and Combustible Fluid).

At 21:00, the Albino will appear behind Ragi Barrow, rather than on the hill, close to the fence. The Changeling can talk to him to learn a little more about her origins, and says goodbye.

There are no material rewards for this quest aside from what can be looted from the arsonists.

### Main Quest: "Angel of Death"

Today, Alexander Saburov wants the Changeling to find who is responsible for the Plague as well as the death of people in the Cathedral. He suspects Yulia Lyuricheva. After talking to Saburov, the Changeling discovers that her reputation is falling three times faster. (She will now lose 100 reputation within 6 hours).

The Changeling can talk to Eva Yan, who knows quite a lot about Yulia. If the Changeling talks to Eva, all of her items except for weapons and drugs may be taken away, but they will be returned to her later by the Bachelor. Yulia will easily tell the Changeling anything she wants to know regardless of whether or not the Changeling asks for Eva's help.

Yulia says that just yesterday, she gave the Changeling the three items that were found in the Cathedral. However, both the player and the Changeling will recall that they did not receive anything from Yulia the day before. After talking to Yulia, the Changeling's reputation will fall even more drastically, at four times faster than it was already. (She will now lose 100 reputation within 1.5 hours).

The Changeling needs to find the Bachelor as quickly as possible. He will examine her blood and prove her innocence. During this day, he will be in various parts of town examining the blood of other women who are under suspicion.

* From the morning until 14:00, the Bachelor will be at the Willows.
* From 14:00 to 16:00, the Bachelor will be at the Shelter.
* From 16:00 to 18:00, the Bachelor will be at Aspity's Hospice.
* After 18:00, the Bachelor will be at the Stillwater.

After speaking with the Bachelor, he will take her back to the Stillwater and let her stay on the second floor. He will return any items that were taken from her by Eva earlier in the day. Although the Bachelor knows she is innocent, he wants to keep an eye on her and the front door will be locked.

*The locations of the Changeling's sister and her Followers*

## Day 7

Starting from **Day 7** until the end of the game, the Changeling can report that she has cleansed districts to the Inquisitor at the Cathedral. Today, the Inquisitor will give her 2000 to 3000 money for her report.

### Main Quest: "Vengeance"

In the morning, the Changeling needs to speak to the Inquisitor, but is still locked in. She talks to the Bachelor who gives her 1000 money and lets her leave the Stillwater. At the Cathedral, the Changeling talks to the Executors standing at the door and learns the Inquisitor will not be back until 12:00.
