The quest starts in the Pearl Creek underground entrance. Climb down the stairs via the eastern entrance to find a homeless man named Homer standing by the fire. Talk to the man to hear his proposal and start the quest. He needs some items in return for which he's going to unlock the doors to the underground tunnels leading to other parts of the town.

Find food for the beggar
First the homeless man ask you to bring him some food. Get back to the street and search for a vending machine. Location of the machine for different puzzle difficulties:

  • Easy - at the intersection of Brite Street and Laymond Avenue.
  • Normal - along the south edge of Cook Street between Laymond Avenue and Lansdale Avenue.
  • Hard - in the alley south of Crook Street.

Use the Money from your inventory to purchase a Candy Bar from the vending machine and return to the homeless. As a reward he will unlock the tunnel to Hillside.

Find a warm coat for the beggar
After you give Homer the Candy Bar, he complains about cold nights and asks you to bring him a coat. There's an Old Coat in the thrift shop on Brite Street west of the Movie Theater. The exact location of the coat in the shop is different depending on your chosen puzzle difficulty:

  • Easy - near the shop’s cash register.
  • Normal - in the storage room.
  • Hard - in the back of the storage room.

Return to Homer to give the Old Coat and unlock the tunnel to Chastain Heights.

Find a fishing rod for the beggar
The last thing Homer asks you to bring him is a fishing rod so that he could feed himself. You can find it in the docks of Pleasant River. The exact location of the Fishing Rod depends on your chosen puzzle difficulty:

  • Easy - near the center of the docks.
  • Normal - in the spillway outside of the Pleasant River underground entrance.
  • Hard - on the boardwalk along the east edge of the docks.

Return to Homer and give him the fishing rod. He will unlock the tunnels leading to Pleasant River and the Port District. The quest is complete.
