Where is the Missing Flat-purse in Sovereign Syndicate?

Lost or stolen?

If you encounter the homeless Poe Pickett during Chapter 4 of Sovereign Syndicate, he will tell Atticus that someone stole his flat-purse, allegedly full of money. Be it out of pity or the promise of sharing the money, Atticus may try to find the missing purse, but where is it?

How to find the missing purse in Sovereign Syndicate

Screenshot by Pro Game Guides

You've met Poe Pickett during Chapter 1: he was the homeless fellow complaining about the lack of heating in the houses. However, now you will find him in the alley of Sorris Square, in direction to St. Katharines dock.

Poe will explain he lost his purse but can't quite remember how; yet, he feels he may have been pickpocketed while he slept in the streets. The only clue Atticus has is that it happened near the Wharf, so head to St Katharine docks to do some inquiring.

  • There are many NPCs in the wharf area, but don't waste your time speaking to each of them. Head straight to the fishermen pier on the bottom left of the map.
  • Speak with Timothy Agarwal, the fisherman on the right.
  • Tell him you are searching for the missing flat-purse.
  • He will tell you he saw Glen Forrester taking it.
  • Before leaving, I asked two cigarettes from him. It is up to you if you want to smoke them since each of them give you +1 Black Bile to level up your Wit, but reduce your Hope by 5.

Unless you've spoken with him before, Glen's name won't appear in the tooltip. He is the Navy Officer who is sitting in front of the Crimson Herring Tavern.

  • He will try to tell you one of his sea tales. If you want to get the purse you will have to listen to his full narration.
  • Only after you've related to him and found common ground, you'll be able to ask him about the purse.
  • He will deny it, to which you can threaten him with your Animal Instinct or do so with your Wits.
  • Pick whichever skill is higher in Atticus because if you fail, the quest will fail entirely.
  • Once you've passed the skill check, Glen will surrender the stolen purse.
  • Take it to Poe Pickett

Poe will thank you for retrieving his purse, and you'll get the chance to ask for a reward or just do it for the kindness. Have in mind the bag only has two shillings.

Poe says he has been robbed, but it seems he is lying and he never had more than that to begin with. In any case, he will share half of the money with you if you ask him to, and you can leave feeling satisfied you earned a shilling and took half of the homeless man's savings.
