Wash Off the Death Smell Walkthrough

Background

While talking to Kim after completing the task Find the Bullet before you Get Fooled, you’ll get the dialogue option, “I think I need to wash myself.” Kim will agree, and he’ll suggest that you use your bathroom in the Whirling-in-Rags. This exchange will trigger the task.

Walkthrough

There are actually two places where you can clean yourself:

• In your bathroom in the Whirling-in-Rags (#1). If Kim isn’t with you, then you’ll be able to interact with the bathtub and take a bath. If you “linger in the tub a little,” then you’ll heal a point of Health.
• In Isobel’s shack in the fishing village (#2). You’ll need to talk to Isobel (#3) first to get the key to the shack. Inside, you’ll need to interact with the washbasin and choose to wash yourself (shaving is optional). This will heal a point of Morale. Since Kim won’t ever enter the shack with you, you’ll be able to do this at any time.

Either way, you’ll earn 30 xp for completing the task.
