Unmarked NPC Interactions

[󠀡󠀡]

There seem to be numerous unmarked quests/interactions where you can overhear NPCs talking and then giving them whatever it is they are looking for. Is there a list somewhere already documenting these?

Here are the ones I have found in the Vatican so far:

• A nun in the apostolic library needs help grabbing a book from the top shelf.
  
• A nun at the entrance of the apostolic library wants a photo of Antonio.
  
• A worker near the fountain of confession wants a bottle of wine.
  
• A priest in the room below the sistine chapel wanted a photo of something, I don't recall.
  
• A woman wants a cornetto.

There is another one potentially in the room next to the sistine chapel. A female worker mentions having lost her silver pocket watch. The conversation mentions Ernesto and when you go to his office you can actually see a silver pocket watch on a shelf there but I can't interact with it. Has someone been able to complete this one?

I completed all those, the pocket watch is on the scaffolding across the room from her.

Her pocket watch (like all the other overheard quest items- and there are many...) is very nearby -in the same room in fact. I won't spoil it further, but I also went back to where I had seen Ernesto's watch in the post office.

There are five or six per location, but I probably missed some. There is one later where a woman talks about losing her favorite gun, but I haven't found any that match her description anywhere

Thanks! I actually hadn't realized that all the items are nearby. For the cornetto I had gone back to Antonio's office to fetch one.

No problem. You can also press 'E' to talk to almost anyone in the game. Most are bland, but some specifically refer to things you've done.

The coolest hidden element is the stories told by the two storyteller characters. I had a blast listening to them (they each have three tales.)
The tales directly relate to the plot of the game but use some of the mythological elements of the McGuffin.

Gimme the spoiler. I've gone up and down all this scaffolding like 10 times and just wanna know where it is at this point :')

I love that they have this. It's a small thing, but I wish more games had unmarked minor quest stuff like this again.

Good notes. Even don't know some of them...

On the opposite side of the room, there is a part of the scaffold hidden by white cloth. If I recall correctly, you have to climb up from underneath and the watch is in a toolbox on top of a wooden crate. I think you have to be very close to it to get a prompt for pickup.

Giza have a a few of these too. Even more obscure and harder too stumble upon. But they are all relatively easy too complete :)

Does anyone know where to find Grandmother's Chalice in Giza?

There's also an Italian painter who seeks a nearby brush.
She's located in a courtyard with a fountain in the middle. If you exit the door that leads into the friendly priest guy's building, proceed forwards until you come across a small guardhouse and a large door, it leads into another area, then take another left after that and you're there.

Im surprised you have missed it. Ok, SPOILER:
Its very close to the fighting club. As you have heard the woman talk about it, walk straight UP from where she was and past the Leather Jacket vendor, a bit further is a Big door you cant open, and something will happen when you get close.
Or you can walk the "main" path in the village (From the sign post) and it will lead you up to where it will appear

I like these, but I wish we could spend more points on other skills or items. I do appreciate that there are many ways to get points to train skills & I appreciate that you can get all your skills before the end of the game.
