Welcome to our walkthrough for Scarlet Deer Inn.
In Part 1 of Scarlet Deer Inn, Elise begins her journey by helping Kuba recover his toy horse before running errands for the villagers. After collecting a bottle of wine or mead from the cellar and delivering it to Mistress Dorota, she helps move hay into the stable. She is tasked with delivering cakes and messages to Karel the beekeeper, Otto the winemaker, and Lada. Along the way, she explores the village, speaks with several residents, visits the churchyard to talk with Father Johannes and her late husband’s grave, and eventually finds Lada by the old oak tree before returning to Otto’s house. With her errands nearly complete, Elise heads to Karel’s Apiary, where the seemingly peaceful task takes a dark turn. Investigating strange noises in the cellar, she discovers the body of a young boy hidden among blocks of ice before a mysterious swordsman appears, attacks her, and throws her into a pit, bringing the chapter to a shocking end.

Locations
Scarlet Deer Inn
Once you have control move to the left and interact with Kuba. He will tell you Bara stole Horace. Go to the right and pick up the toy horse from the shelf.

Give it to Kuba and head to the left and exit. Speak to the woman in the kitchen now. Elise will tell her that she will go over to Mistress Dorota. She has a tunic for Bara. Anna will suggest you take a bottle from the cellar for her. Go to the left and up through the door to the cellar. The wine bottle is on the left of the cellar.

Choose the “Wine – The Cunning Slug” or the “Mead – Scarlet Deer” for her. (Dorota will prefer the Mead.) Go to the left and exit to the next room. Here you will see Bara talking to an old man with a sword. Head out through the exit after talking to Bara about cleaning tables. Once outside, head to the right. You will see a door to the house.

Dorota’s House
You will find Dorota sitting outside. Speak to her and give her the wine or the mead. She will ask you to move the bale of hays next. Go to the right and pick up the bale of hays, one by one into the stable. You can pat the cows while you are in there.

Speak to Dorota again. She will ask you to go meet Karel, the beekeeper, for some meat. She adds Otto the winemaker and Lada to the list of people you need to visit. She will give you cakes to give to Karel, Otto and Lada, and she will specify which one from the tray is for Otto. The middle one.

Head out of her and towards the right.
Village Outskirts
You will find Hanka on the way. Speak to her and move on to the right and Marek will call out to you. Go speak to him. Keep moving right and speak to the two kids. Next you will come across a burnt house. Go back to the left and head up into the village.

The Village
Speak to the Master Bailiff now. Next speak to Marie. Follow the path up and enter the archway into the churchyard. Speak to the Father there. Ask him about what he is teaching Bara. You can visit Elise’s husbands grave here too.

Head back out and continue to the left till you meet Otto the winemaker. Otto isn’t quite pleased with Dorota and wants nothing to do with her. Lada is out, possibly at the Churchyard.

Go back to the churchyard and enter the church.
The Church
Once inside, ask Father Johannes if he knows where Lada is. He will tell you she is by the old oak tree.

Head back out to the village. Once you are out go up before Otto’s house, past the left wall of the church. At the end of the path is the old oak tree.
Old Oak Tree
You will find Lada here. Lada wants a shirt made for her boy, Jirik but there is something off about the way Jirik is mentioned.

Otto’s House
She will come back home with Elise and give her the shirt. Give her the cake from the middle of the tray for Otto. Finish the conversation with Lada and head back out to the village outskirts.
Village Outskirts
Go past Marek now and speak to the man with the mule. Since he is blocking the way, go down the path to the right and you will run into Marketa. Speak to her as well but continue on your way over the bridge towards Karel’s Apiary.
Karel’s Apiary
There’s no one here but you will hear sounds coming from the cellar. Go up into the cellar.

Follow the cellar path down, through the darkness till you reach the elevator and the blocks of ice. Go past the ice and you will find a body of a young boy on the table. A man with a sword will show up and throw you down a pit.
