Missing in Action

Missing in Action is a side mission of the game Greedfall, falling under the category of Kurt’s Quests.

Missing in Action Guide

While Kurt is in your party, speak with him and he’ll eventually get to the point of the conversation, where you’ll need to make a choice.

• Accept to meet the recruit immediately.
• Put it off until later.

If you put it off until later, you’ll still be able to do the quest. It’s more of a not-right-now option.

Find the young recruit in the barracks

Head on over to the Barracks in question and once inside, you’ll be met with a cutscene and some options.

• Evoke the subjet of Reiner.

Looks like they don’t know who this Reiner person is. Also, I’m going to guess that’s a typo in the options, as far as “subject” goes? If you head further inside the Barracks, you’ll come across the next person to speak with–Quartermaster Manfred.

• Ask him about the recruit Reiner

Investigate the morgue

Something smells like false information. Or a dead body.

Maybe both?

Whatever the case may be, we’ll be heading in the direction of the truth.

Turn to the left where there’s a woman cleaning the floor. Go down the steps that are just past her and you’ll see a man behind a desk at the bottom. Approach him for a cutscene.

• Ask about the death of Reiner.
  • Ask to see the body.

At the end of it all, he’s not going to let you see the body without a little push and shove. Which means we’ve got another vital choice to make:

• Threaten him. (Bridge Alliance: Reputation -1)
• (Charisma) Insist.

Go through the door behind him and on the table in front of you is the guy you’ll be examining. There are two other bodies in the room, but they’re just there as a distraction. You won’t be able to do anything about them.

So if you’re good to go on Science (lv. 2), you can actually use that instead of choosing Examine, but if you don’t…the second option it is.

I personally had to choose Examine,

Find evidence of the lie

Luckily for you, the evidence is literally right in front of you. The big glowing book on the other side of the body.

Kind of silly for someone to lie to you and have his notes directly in front of the body you’re checking out, don’t you think? Oh well. You read it, you know the lie.

Confront the doctor with his lies

Head back out to the man behind the desk and have a word with him.

• Show him his own notes.

Should’ve burned those notes, he says. Well duh.

Ask the intendant for his advice

Head upstairs and speak with Manfred.

• Discuss Reiner’s death

Investigate at the tavern

You can leave the building here and travel around to the left side of it where another entrance is. It’ll be marked on your map. Know that there are two fights you’ll probably be engaged in on your way there.

Once inside, you’ll notice three people with convsation icons over their head. Speak with the first recruit closest to you.

• Ask for a formal presentation.
  • Question him on Reiner.

Offer the recruit a drink

Go up to the bartender and speak with him to browse his goods.

• Buy a bottle to offer to drink.

Give it to the young recruit to loosen his tongue.

• Question him on Reiner.

Confront of the lieutenant of the 11th regiment

Leave the building and run around to the right side of the Barracks, (where you’re used to entering). Once in the main area, you might remember the lady that cleans the floor on the left. (The area has stairs going down and stairs going up.)

Instead of taking either stairs, go through the door. In the next area on the right is the man you’re wanting to speak with.

• Ask for identification.
  • Ask about Reiner.

Wait until nightfall to talk discreetly with the lieutenant

If you go back to your little sanctuary and “sleep” until nightfall, then you can come back to the Barracks and speak with this guy again.

Technically, you don’t actually have to wait until nightfall to finish this portion of the quest. Kind of counter-intuitive, but I chose something other than nighttime and came back to question him on Reiner again and he gave me the information needed. It cancelled out this section, but there didn’t seem to be any repercussions.

Still, might as well wait for nightfall.

Obtain information about the ghost regiment

All right. You’ve been to the basement and meandered around the first floor, so now it’s time to check out the 2nd floor.

It might seem like a bit of a maze, but just check your map to see the general direction in which you’ll need to go. Eventually you’ll end up in a section of the hall with two doors.

Choose the door on the left in the screenshot.

The 6th company officer is in this room. Speak with him.

• Ask for identification.
• Ask about their assignment.
  • Ask about the Ghost Regiment.
    • (Charisma) Try to convince him.
    • Bribe him. (100) (Coin Guard: Reputation +1)
    • Allow Kurt to speak. (Coin Guard: Reputation -1)

At the end, you’ll receive a whopping Kurt: Reputation +3, as well as the ongoing mission Amongst the Ghosts.
