Find the Insulindian Phasmid Walkthrough

Background

You’ll trigger this task at the end of the task Inspect the Traps, if you offer to continue helping Morell and Lena (#1).

Walkthrough

Morell will give you a Box with Locusts, and he’ll ask you to refill the phasmid trap that you found empty during the previous task. This will require you to remember which one was empty, but at worst you’ll just have to return to all four traps (#2). When you refill the right trap, you’ll lose the Box with Locusts.

When you return to the Whirling-in-Rags (#1), you’ll only find Lena there. She’ll tell you that Morell has a cold, and that he’ll check the traps… eventually. Lena will seem a little down, and when you ask her what’s wrong, she’ll reveal that she isn’t 100% sure that she saw the phasmid when she was younger — that maybe it was just a child’s fantasy.

At the end of your conversation, Lena will leave, even if you pass the red “medium” Suggestion check to try and convince her that her marriage isn’t based on a lie. But you’ll complete the task and earn 30 xp. If you ask Lena for her address in Jamrock, then you’ll get a chance to use it at the end of the game.
