The answer first
Start Locked Out with Hyrum, behind the tavern area in Magdal’s Rest. If the front door needs 60 Lockpicking, climb the hill through the ruined house and drop down the chimney. Take Hyrum’s key from the table, unlock the front door, and speak to Moonface. His dialogue starts Moon in the Man: gather charcoal and a blank tome, recover his stolen voice, follow Chialani’s transformation lead, then return to Moonface and report back to Hyrum.
Start Locked Out and enter Hyrum’s house
- Find Hyrum behind the tavern side of Magdal’s Rest and accept Locked Out.
- Try the front door only if your Lockpicking is high enough; the supplied video shows a level-60 requirement.
- For the alternate route, pass through the ruined house, climb the hill, and drop into the chimney.
- Move out of the fireplace immediately, take the house key from the table, and unlock the front door from inside.
Speak to Moonface and prepare the two materials
Talk to the intruder after opening the door. The conversation adds Moon in the Man to the journal and points to charcoal, a blank tome, and transformation magic.
- Search barrels and crates around town for charcoal; the video also shows a reliable supply at the charcoal burner south of town, behind the mountain.
- For a blank tome, complete Theodoris’s Lost Tome trust quest first. The video also reports that a tome can be bought afterward or found on a crate near the trainer.
Recover Moonface’s Voice of Reason
- Return to Moonface with charcoal and the tome, then accept the lead about a snail near the drain by the Tower.
- Leave Magdal’s Rest to the west, keep to the right, descend into the canyon, and follow the river.
- Find the named snail Voice of Reason beneath the bridge-like crossing, defeat it, and return to Moonface.
Follow Chialani’s transformation lead
- Go to the market square and use the stairs between the tavern and shop.
- Find Chialani upstairs. The supplied transcript renders the name as “Chiani”; Hotfix 1 uses the official spelling Chialani.
- Follow her lead to hermit Detta on the far southern beach.
- Swim along the shore to the small island beside the visible magical-tower island.
- Collect Detta’s journal from the stool beside the campfire; the hermit’s body is not required for the recorded route.
Finish Moon in the Man and Locked Out
Return the journal to Moonface. In the supplied video, he transforms, can leave the house, and the player then tells Hyrum the intruder was convinced to leave. Moon in the Man and Locked Out complete together at that handoff.
