Upon starting Pentiment, Big Jorg and Lorenz will be asking questions about Andreas. Players must carefully pick the options they want as traits and choices can significantly affect the storyline of Pentiment.
For example, those with the Hedonist trait can heavily flirt with Eva. If Andreas has been making a move on Eva instead of helping Otto court her, at the end of the chapter, Otto will be mad at Andreas and say he's glad the artist is going away. Players can also easily lose the Abbey's favor in the future if their decisions go against the Church's interest. For example, if Andreas testified against Prior Ferenc and got him executed at the end of Pentiment's first chapter, he won't be welcomed in the Abbey in the next act. Other than that, if players told Otilia that the Abbey is scamming her off her land (only doable with Law knowledge), Father Gernot will also be angry and refuse to welcome Andreas in the future.
There will be an achievement in Pentiment for both keeping the Abbey's favor and losing it. Other than that, players can also earn villager-related trophies like the Quick Fingers achievement in Pentiment.
How To Get The Quick Fingers Achievement In Pentiment
To get the Quick Fingers achievement in Pentiment, players must spin the wool as fast as the ladies. To do this, simply follow Heddy's instruction: Draft wool from the distaff and twist it tight, then spin the tight yarn onto the spindle. Once there's enough yarn on the spindle, collect it at the bottom and begin again.
In the game, this translates to:
- Use the left hand three times to twist the wool
- Use the right hand three times to spin the yarn to the spindle
- Interact with the spindle once to collect the yarn at the bottom and begin again.
Do this in quick succession to get the Quick Fingers achievement in Pentiment.
How To Attend The Spinning Bee In Pentiment
To attend the Spinning Bee in Pentiment, wait until Clara or Eva mentioned the event at Johan's place. Afterward, visit Johan's farm in the morning or the afternoon and talk to the man. Remember that mealtime doesn't work as Andreas has to look for someone to dine with instead.
The Spinning Bee will take the entire morning or afternoon, so keep that in mind before going to the event. Players will lose precious investigation time if they choose to hang out with the townswomen.
Five ladies are spinning the wool in this scene; Eva, Clara, Veronica, Heddy, and Kat. Other than that, Johan, Ursula, and Otto are also there. There's not much significance in attending the Spinning Bee for the first act since there's no clue to get here. However, Andreas can get some juicy gossip from the lady.
Pentiment is available now for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
