This quest introduces the eavesdropping mechanic and requires Kliff to gather information from villagers, then bluff his way past a guard using a series of lie dialogue options. It is one of the more involved investigation quests in Chapter 7, with no combat but several steps that must be completed in the correct order.88Walkthrough1010Eavesdrop 1: Barn Near the Waterfront1212The first eavesdrop target is a barn near the waterfront on the eastern edge of Beighen. Two men are having a conversation inside. A tutorial popup explains the eavesdropping mechanic, but the instructions can be misleading.1414Approach the barn and walk around to the back of the hut, on the side facing the water.Position Kliff against the middle wooden pane of the wall. Wiggle slightly until he leans against it.Press L3 (left stick click) to lean against the wall.Hold L1/LB to listen. Wait for the "Learning in Progress" indicator to fill completely.1616Important: Do not try to look through the window on the other side of the barn. Looking through windows does not count as eavesdropping. You must lean against a solid wall section for the mechanic to register.1818First Guard Conversation2020After gathering information from the barn, head to the west side of the village and speak with the guard standing at a door. The first dialogue tree opens.2222Select "The Truth of the Underground Storage" as your topic.The guard claims it is a larder. Press A (Xbox) / X (PlayStation) to call out the lie.Choose "Secret Society's Base" from the options that appear.Select the second option for additional information, then exit the conversation.2424If a topic is grayed out or you lack enough intelligence to answer, the game marks new eavesdrop locations on your map.2626Eavesdrop 2: House with the Log2828The second eavesdrop location is a house where two NPCs are chatting. A log sits on the floor near the wall you need to lean against.3030Head to the marked location in the village. Look for two villagers talking near or inside a house.Before positioning yourself, use Nature's Grasp to move the log on the floor out of the way. This makes it much easier to find the correct lean position.Stand against the wall of the house where the log was. Press L3 to lean, then hold L1/LB to eavesdrop.3232This eavesdrop gives you intelligence about the mysterious faction operating within Beighen.3434Second Guard Conversation3636Return to the guard with the new information.3838Choose "Mysterious Faction Within Beighen" as your topic.Press A/X to call out the lie.Select "Blue Fangs" from the available options.Choose "Leader of the Blue Fangs" for more information, then exit.4040Eavesdrop 3: Building with the Women4242The third and final eavesdrop takes place at a building where two women are talking inside.4444Head to the objective marker. The building is near the guard's post.Walk around to the south side of the building. You can see the women through a small hole in the wall.Position yourself in the corner against the wall next to the wooden crates. Press L3 to lean, then hold L1/LB to eavesdrop.4646This conversation reveals the identity of the Blue Fangs leader.4848Final Guard Conversation5050Return to the guard for the last time with the identity of the leader.5252Choose "Leader of the Blue Fangs" as your topic.Press A/X to call out the lie.Select "Torstein".5454Contact the Secret Organization5656With all the correct answers provided, the guard grants you access. Proceed past the guards and look for a trapdoor on the ground. Open it and climb down to trigger the ending cutscene, which introduces Kliff to Torstein and the Blue Fangs underground resistance in their hidden base beneath Beighen.5858Dialogue Choices6060The guard interrogation spans three separate conversations. Each round follows the same pattern: select a topic, call out the guard's lie by pressing A (Xbox) or X (PlayStation), then pick the correct answer. You must eavesdrop between rounds to unlock the information you need.6262RoundTopicActionCorrect Answer1The Truth of the Underground StorageCall out lie (A/X)Secret Society's Base1(follow-up)Select second optionExtra information, then exit2Mysterious Faction Within BeighenCall out lie (A/X)Blue Fangs2Leader of the Blue FangsRequest more infoExit conversation3Leader of the Blue FangsCall out lie (A/X)Torstein6464Tips6565The eavesdropping mechanic requires two distinct inputs: first L3 to lean against the wall, then L1/LB to listen. Many players miss the L3 step because the in-game tutorial does not emphasize it clearly.Positioning matters. If the L1/LB prompt does not appear, reposition Kliff along the wall and try leaning again. You may need to be closer to the center of the wall or shift slightly left or right.For the second eavesdrop, use Nature's Grasp to move the log blocking the wall. This removes the obstacle and makes leaning into the correct position much easier.Looking through windows does not work for eavesdropping. You must lean against a solid wall section, not an opening.If you select the wrong dialogue option with the guard, you can exit and re-enter the conversation. The game does not lock you out permanently.There is no combat in this quest. It is entirely investigation and dialogue.Eavesdropping is used again in later quests, so learning the lean-then-listen sequence here will save time later in the story.
