Hell Is Us features several ‘Good Deed’ side quests that players can tackle while advancing through the primary story. However, similar to other aspects of the game, guidance on these missions is quite limited, and some are on a timer, meaning if you wait too long, you’ll miss your chance to complete them. One of the initial Good Deeds you’ll encounter is the Golden Watch quest in Hell Is Us, located in the Senedra Forest, but if you’re not paying attention, it might be challenging to determine where to deliver the watch.
Locating the Golden Watch in Hell Is Us
Upon exiting the ruins in Senedra Forest, you will find yourself in a series of trenches. At the beginning of this area, a glimmer of yellow or gold will catch your eye, diverging slightly from the main path. Interact with it to discover a note alongside a golden watch.
The note details an account from a soldier who recounts the storming of the forest, where they discovered three Pal brothers hiding in a farmhouse. Unfortunately, the brothers were taken outside and executed, one of whom was wearing the golden watch intended to be returned to the soldier’s partner.
Delivering the Golden Watch for the Good Deed
To successfully complete this Good Deed, you must return the Golden Watch to Ernest Caddell, who is located in the basement of the farmhouse you searched before entering the forest on your way to the ruins. Beside him, you’ll notice a photo of one of his sons, who is depicted wearing that very golden watch.
A vital hint lies in the inscription on the watch strap, ‘Otis Caddell.’ This surname should ring a bell if you remember your earlier conversation with Ernest. Nevertheless, with the numerous names and elusive moments throughout Hell Is Us, it can be easy to overlook.
Utilize the ‘Trade’ function by pressing up on the d-pad to hand the watch over to Ernest. He will express his gratitude for your return of the watch, and thus, you’ll have completed the Good Deed. To receive a reward for your efforts, you must reach the Watcher’s Nest and solve the Pentos’ Tomb puzzle. Afterward, you can converse with Gildas Brom and select the ‘Have I helped enough Hadeans?’ option at the top of the dialogue. He will then provide you with a reward for your contributions.
If you haven’t already, make sure to complete the ‘Caddell Family Treasure’ Mystery before leaving Senedra Forest. This fun treasure hunt grants you a solid piece of defensive gear for your efforts, too.
The Watcher’s Nest is where you’ll claim most of your rewards for completing Good Deeds in Hell Is Us. Although some characters may also offer items immediately after you assist them, other Good Deeds might only result in a unique cutscene or a slight modification to the story.
