Where to find Aleph
Aleph can be found in the area associated with Ulbert’s questline. If you have already accepted the objective involving the storage shed, follow the quest marker or speak with nearby NPCs to identify Aleph’s location.

Before approaching him, make sure the relevant quest is active in your journal. In some situations, specific dialogue options only appear once the quest has been accepted.

Step 1
Locate Aleph and start a conversation with him.

Step 2
Select the dialogue options related to Ulbert and the locked storage shed.

Step 3
Continue the conversation until the topic of accessing the shed appears.

Step 4
If all quest requirements have been met, Aleph will hand over the Storage Shed Key.

Open your inventory and verify that the key has been added before leaving the area.
How to open Ulbert’s Storage Shed
Once you have received the key, return to Ulbert’s Storage Shed.
Interact with the locked door and use the key from your inventory. The door should unlock immediately, allowing you to enter and collect any available items.

Depending on your current quest progress, entering the shed may also update quest objectives or trigger new dialogue options with nearby characters.

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.
