Start your investigation by examining the Recent Movements Note, which clarifies that Maisie was surveilling someone on Vicar McHenry’s orders. This note outlines a route that you need to trace to follow this mysterious individual.

The note indicates: ‘Passed the Mereview Hotel. Crossed the stream and turned right, heading up the hill. Turned right again, up the narrow stone steps. Went round the back of the ruins and entered that rat-infested cellar.’ Following these directions will lead you to the Brewery Cellar, located at coordinates 30.5E, 80.5N, as illustrated in the map below.

Once you’ve gathered your findings, head back to Vicar McHenry to disclose the results of your investigation, specifically identifying Morris as Maisie’s murderer. The Vicar will instruct you to take care of Morris, marking the Village Shop on your map for your convenience. It’s advisable to exhaust all dialogue options with him before you leave, as this could provide additional quests.

After your conversation with the Vicar, depending on whether you chose to obtain rewards, visit the Village Shop and confront Morris regarding his crime. You will have several options for handling the situation:

  • Threaten Morris that he must depart Wyndham Village or you will inform the Protocol. He will comply and leave.
  • Choose to eliminate Morris.

After dealing with Morris, return to the Vicar, who will reward you with a key for his personal chest. Head upstairs to unlock the chest where you will discover the A Fruitful Trade Note along with an Atomic Battery. These Atomic Batteries are crucial for your progress in Atomfall, so be sure to keep it safe.

And there you have it—the murder mystery in Wyndham Village resolved!
