Common issues if Aleph does not give the key

Some players may reach Aleph but fail to receive the key immediately. This usually happens when the required quest has not been accepted or an earlier objective has not been completed.

Check your journal and ensure that all previous steps in the quest chain are finished. If the dialogue option is missing, speak with other related NPCs first and then return to Aleph.


Ulbert’s Storage Shed is a straightforward objective once you know where to look. Rather than searching for hidden entrances or lockpicking solutions, simply track down Aleph, exhaust the relevant dialogue, obtain the key, and unlock the shed. This small step helps keep the questline moving and gives you access to whatever valuables Ulbert left behind.
