Quest Log

Log Entry
Update: Upon receiving quest: Therese has asked you to go to the Ocean House Hotel and search for a personal item of the spirit that haunts the place and bring it back to her. The only way to get to the Ocean House is through the sewers.
Update: You retrieved the pendant from the Ocean House to bring to Therese as payment to convince her to call off her feud with Tung.
Update: If the Pendant is not given to Jeanette: You retrieved the pendant from the Ocean House to bring to Therese as payment to convince her to call off her feud with Tung, but she wasn't at The Asylum. You should check back later to talk to her when she returns.
Update: (Alternate) If the Pendant is given to Jeanette: Therese wasn't available, so you gave the Ocean House pendant to Jeanette - probably not the best of ideas. You should check back later to talk to Therese when she returns.
Update: (Alternate) Speaking to Therese after giving the pendant to Jeanette: Jeanette threw the Ocean House pendant - the one you stupidly gave her - into the ocean, thereby thwarting Therese's plans to exorcise the spirits haunting the hotel.
Update: Upon completion: You gave the Ocean House pendant to Therese, as per her request. Quest Complete

Items

Trivia

• This quest contains the only moment of true daylight in the entire game, when the player picks up the pendant. (During a visit to Grout's Mansion there is a room where the fledgling can be apparently exposed to sunlight, but the events of the related quest still take place at night.)
• Depending on dialogue choices at the end of the mission and those made in previous conversations, it may be possible to initiate an (off-screen) sexual encounter with Jeanette after the choice to give her the pendant (or not) is made.
