Tristan exploring the map in Of Ash and Steel

The Bad Neighborhood quest in Of Ash and Steel is a pretty tricky one to complete, as you'll have to find four wheels.

When you begin the quest, you won't have a map with you. This will make your life pretty hard since you'll have to use the landmarks to find the wheels. This guide will help you with the locations of all four wheels so that you can finish the quest without any problem.

Of Ash and Steel Bad Neighborhood quest walkthrough

Since there's no map, we will start with the first wheel from where Radim sits (the quest giver). The first three wheels are pretty much equidistant from this point, but in different areas.

Wheel 1 location

Go left, and you'll find the path branching off into two directions. Take the one going left towards the bridge. Don't take the bridge; turn right and continue straight. Keep going straight past the hills bordering the river. This path will eventually lead you to a plank that allows you to access a broken wall on the river.

The first wheel is on top of this wheel. Once you obtain it, come back to the point from where we began.

Wheel 2 location

To get the second wheel, turn right past the big rock from where the Radim is sitting and continue straight. Keep looking to your right for a set of barricades and a small tent. The wheel will be to the left of the tent's entrance, and there are a few more resources that you can loot from this location. You'll also get a note from the tent, which serves as a clue for another quest item.

Wheel 3 location

The third wheel can be found close to the tent from where you get the second one. From the entrance, move towards the left, sticking close to the rocks. You'll reach a cart, and the wheel will be to its left.

Wheel 4 location

To reach the fourth wheel, take the bridge (refer to Wheel 1 section) and cross the river. Once you reach teh point marked in the screenshot below, take the narrow path take the narrow math that I have marked.

Follow this path all the way (don't deviate), and you'll reach a hut. Go inside, and you'll find a sleeping NPC named Hermit. He has the fourth wheel, but he needs two Rye. You can get the Rye from Radim (get two) or bring it in your inventory. Exchange the Rye for getting the final wheel.

Once you have collected all four wheels, speak with Radim, and this will complete the Bad Neighborhood quest.

Murray in Of Ash and Steel

Of Ash and Steel puts a lot of emphasis on finding different items and exploring the lands, but it can be a difficult task to do the same without a map.

Being inspired by old-school RPGs, Of Ash and Steel does things pretty differently. Your early hours will be spent without any map, and you will have to complete quests by reaching different locations, having no markers to depend on.

This guide will explain the exact system of how the map works, and when you can obtain it in Of Ash and Steel.

Does Of Ash and Steel have a map

While you don't get a map at the start of your adventures, Of Ash and Steel does have one for different regions. Once you unlock the feature, the map will make your life easier. It's almost necessary as the areas tend to get more complex as you clear the initial chapters and begin the latter acts.

How to get the map in Of Ash and Steel

The exact method of obtaining a map in Of Ash and Steel remains unknown at this point. According to the community, the map should be obtainable once you have cleared Chapter 1 quests (Act 1).

This is going to take a noticeable amount of time, as there are plenty of quests to complete before you reach that point. You'll first have to complete the quests on the shore, followed by some more tasks, before you get to access Chapter 1.

While I am on the first act as of writing, I haven't figured out how to get the map yet. Once I do so, I will update the guide about the exact way of completing the task. According to the community, we can also add our own notes on the map for it to store more information.

Until you get the map, the only option is to use buildings and navigation markers while exploring the land. That will prevent you from getting lost and make it easier for you to work towards an objective.
