The Strange Message quest in Of Ash and Steel is a short and simple one where you’ll need to find Philmore in order to complete it. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to start the quest, find Philmore, answer his questions by making the right choices, and maximize your experience gain.
How to Start the Quest
To start the Strange Message quest in Of Ash and Steel, you’ll need to go to the Greyhound Tavern, which can be accessed via the crossroads that lead you to the city. Once you are there, talk to the guy named Flute, who will give you the quest that involves finding Philmore.
How to Find Philmore
To find Philmore, you’ll need to go to the harbor of the city. From the ship’s fold, go a little towards the back and take the left. You’ll come across an area with carts and boxes; from there, go left, and you’ll eventually come across a huge tree. Look towards the tree’s left, and you’ll find Philmore sitting in front of an old tent-like structure. All you need to do now is talk with him and answer his questions. Remember to always use the third option for answering him, as this gives the maximum amount of experience. And with this, the quest will officially conclude.
