Step 2: Request Support for Becoming a Shadow

Speak with Fingers and select these dialogue options in order: “I want to be a Shadow” → “I’m looking for folks to put in a good word for me” → “Wait, you’re stealing from your own guys?” → “I’ll take care of it”. He will ask you to steal Scatty’s Ring.

Step 3: Find Jackal and Pay 10 Ore Nuggets (Optional)

Before attempting lockpicking, find Jackal near the marketplace or south gate entrance and pay him 10 Ore Nuggets to receive his protection in the Old Camp. Without this, you’ll get caught.

Step 4: Lockpick Only in the Morning

Wait until morning when Scatty leaves his hut to go to the arena. Attempting lockpicking at any other time will result in getting caught.

Step 5: Save Before Lockpicking

Save your game before starting lockpicking so you can reload if you fail and preserve your progress.
