Of Ash and Steel Bad Neighborhood Quest Walkthrough
Starting from Radim, the quest giver, the first three wheels are accessible via distinct paths. The fourth requires crossing the river and a small trade.
Wheel 1 Location
From Radim, head left and take the path leading towards the bridge. Do not cross the bridge; instead, turn right and proceed straight, continuing past the riverbank hills. You will find a plank leading to a broken wall by the river. The first wheel is located on top of this wall.
Wheel 2 Location
Turn right past the large rock near Radim and continue straight. Look to your right for barricades and a small tent. The second wheel is situated to the left of the tent’s entrance. Looting the tent may also yield a note relevant to another quest.
Wheel 3 Location
This wheel is very close to the tent where you found the second wheel. From the tent’s entrance, move left, staying near the rocks. You will encounter a cart; the third wheel is located to its left.
Wheel 4 Location
Cross the river using the bridge mentioned in the Wheel 1 section. Follow the path precisely as marked in the accompanying screenshot. This narrow path leads to a hut. Inside, you’ll find an NPC named Hermit. He will trade the fourth wheel for two units of Rye, which can be obtained from Radim or found in your inventory.
After collecting all four wheels, return to Radim to complete the “Bad Neighborhood” quest.
