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.

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.

(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.)

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.

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.
