To start the mission, the player must find the [[Diocese Report]] inside the church which contain information about the missing artifact (the [[Church Flyer]] is optional). The player must then travel to the [[Draft Dodger's Cabin]]. Under the bed in the cabin is a suitcase which contains a letter saying that the artifact is hidden in the basement of the house at [[Skeeter's Ridge]].<br />
<br />
There is no direct path to Skeeter's Ridge from Draft Dodger's Cabin because a cliff face separates the two. Instead, the player must travel towards [[Derelict Cabins]] on the right side of the in-game map. Then the player can follow the main road back towards the crash site.<br />
<br />
(After you rescue Gwen, you will be able to climb the cliff behind Draft Dodger's Cabin to Skeeter's Ridge, as the trees will fall and become a bridge.)<br />
<br />
Once near the crash site, instead of entering the plane, continue to the left around the rock outcropping. A small group of burned-down houses constitute Skeeter's Ridge. One of the houses will have a bulkhead door leading down into the basement where the artifact can be found behind some loose boards beneath the clothes dryer.<br />
<br />
Once the artifact is retrieved, it must be brought back to the church and placed on the altar. The player must then wait a full day and return to the church. Inside the church to the right of the altar, there is a blue table that will have a [[Rabbitskin Hat]] and a [[Thankyou Letter]] from [[Father Thomas]].<br />
