Stuck on the first floor

[Sotnik]

Hi! Looks like I completed all the quests on the floor 1 (failed the camera quest), but I still need 4000 authority for a promotion. Is there a way to earn it faster? Farming at the office will take eternity... Is there a way to quickly exchange money or time for the authority? I would even use cheatcodes cause the game is over for me in this state.

I was also told that I could somehow use good relatioships with the boss, but I don't see a way.

Have you held the party with the boss yet? Getting him arrested should earn you 10.000 authority. I'm not aware on how to do that without the camera though..

I had not established the camera in advance, therefore did not earn these 10k. I tried other ways to compromise him, but they did not work.

Max out your friendship with Dong (by watching his TV show), and you'll get the option to get revenge on Marco. I agreed on taking revenge and it gave me another 10000 authority.

You can also use the telephone and agree to the competition. The above mentioned will kill Marco, you can kill the other two by putting forbidden items in their terminal and reporting them via the telephone. If you manage to get them together they will also agree to drop out of the race.

Thank you. I have already get rid of all the competitors, but seems like there is a point in starting anew.

Hah, I give up. Miss 50 coins to pay for a theft. This game has a too good story for me to bother with its survival mechanics. I will be waiting for cheatcodes to proceed.

Try to get a better understanding of quests and game mechanics instead of wanting to "cheat". What are you expecting out of it ? The point of the game is to pressure you both morally and financially.
In your case, understanding why you failed the camera quest, which can be resolved whether or not you want to be your boss' friend or not, would be both easier and faster.

On floor 1, you should have to pay only one fine: the speech book in the girl's desk, to give to the nerd for their relationship quest. Technically, you can also steal the screwdriver for the vending machine quest, but this one is only useful once you are at 20k+ authority, before asking for a promotion, to "trade" an authority fine for a cash quest reward.

i cannot find an "escort" for the party.

I am currently on the 12th floor. I have lost the game unless I cheat and I won't start the 3rd time. Unfortunately, replay value of the game is not high enough for this (quasi-)permadeath mode.

Ask one of your coworkers, then call a pimp, then you will find him on the security post.

What are you stuck on? I'm currently on the 12th floor. It moves a lot slower than the 1st.

At the security. I need to pay 1050 for a theft and I don't have enough money and I am out of time :). I have ALMOST enough money and ALMOST enough authority. But almost is just almost and I can't pay in the both "currencies".

Have you tried turning in information on the people you work with? It doesn't net a lot of authority, but every little bit helps. For random money events, you can take a walk around your apartment building. I got a random 300 dollars that way.

I have 10 minutes left only. Not enough for a call. I cannot leave the building.

Looks like it's a game over, at least you'll probably get an acheivement for it. That's the beautiful thing about the Beholder series, tons of ways to play and tons of reasons to replay.

Unforunately, there is no reason to replay. I have seen 95% of the 1st floor content as this was my second attempt.

There are always many ways to do things. My first time playing the first floor I pranked Dong and planted ilegal items. My second I went the peaceful route, getting Dong and the lady together so they drop out of the competition. I still don't know what to do about the lady's kids, what happens if you help her get rid of them or help her keep them. The secretary's grand daughter left me with quesitons as well, so I need another replay with max friendships.

But I still haven't finished the game, so I don't wanna restart again just yet. I'm slowly working through the 12 floor right now. While it's easy to get rid of everyone by planting evidence, I wanna see more of the story if possible.

I would suggest that you watch a walkthrough on YouTube if you want to see the story.

It would be easier to watch a video than deal with cheatcodes and just skimming through the gameplay.
