The Changeling's Route

This page is a summary of the actions taken by the Changeling in her route. It assumes that all quests are completed successfully; however, quests do not necessarily need to be completed in the order presented here.

As this page is essentially walkthrough of the Changeling Route, there will be heavy spoilers throughout.

Day 1
The Changeling wakes up in a shallow grave in the Cemetery. She will find her reputation is low and her exhaustion high. There are two Executors standing at the doorway of Grace's lodge. She may speak to them to learn more about what is happening.

When the Changeling enters the lodge, she sees Grace and Katerina Saburova.

Main Quest: "The Harbinger"
After speaking to Grace and Katerina, she will be directed to speak to Alexander Saburov. It seems the Changeling is being accused of being a thief and to clear her name, Saburov tells her to meet someone by the Train Station. There are two muggers standing near the carriages who the Changeling can kill for some reputation. There are rocks by the Train Station, where she will find the man Saburov told her about. She will speak to him and find a Doghead child nearby who she must try to cure to prove herself.

The Changeling talks to the Doghead and learns why he is injured. She uses her hands to cure him, only to find that he dies. The man believes the Changeling to be a harbinger and a saint who can judge people. However, she still needs to cure someone for Saburov. She learns that there may be an injured man at Grace's lodge.

When she returns to Grace, the Changeling learns that the injured man had been taken away by the Haruspex. The Haruspex can be found in the Haruspex's Lair, an abandoned factory building in the Works, just south of the train tracks. However, the Changeling finds only the Haruspex there and no injured man. It seems the man escaped and crawled away up the river. The Changeling will finally find him at the Willows. There, she can speak to Anna Angel and the Bachelor.

The Changeling heals the man in front of the gathered townsfolk, Anna, and the Bachelor. She talks to the Bachelor again, who agrees to testify for her miraculous healing powers, before returning to Saburov. He now believes that she is not the rumoured thief and she will receive a reputation boost.

Side Quest: "For Those With the Freedom of Choice"
After healing the injured man, the Changeling can talk to Anna again. Anna will ask her to learn more about the Haruspex and directs her to the Warehouses. The Changeling heads to the Soul-and-a-Half Fortress and speaks to Notkin whom she questions about the Haruspex.

During their conversation, Notkin may give her a Double Barrelled Pistol, but no ammo, if she asks him "He didn't need it himself?" when Notkin mentions that the Haruspex left a gun behind.

The Changeling then returns to Anna and will receive 1500 money.

Side Quest: "The Hooks (Truth Revealing Itself)"
Saburov will ask the Changeling to question Georgiy using her powers. In order to do so, she requires a person's real name and a secret about them. To gain the necessary information, the Changeling speaks to Katerina. Katerina will give the Changeling her list of Bound and also reveal that Georgiy does not actually love his brother, nor were they actually twins.

The Changeling then speaks to Georgiy who will not speak to her until after she talks to Maria Kaina. After speaking to Maria, the Changeling returns to Georgiy and is able to question him using his name and a secret. She then returns to Saburov and receives a reputation boost.
