Beholder 3 How to make BIG money?

Introduction

Hello everyone, I present you my first author's guide, which not only means that you don't judge strictly, but also evaluate and add to it, because it depends on your feedback if it will develop in any way. I also have to say that by the end of the game I had over 5,000 greenbacks! That's assuming I played very lazily and didn't spend every game day earning money.

Please leave a rating and comment after you read it with your opinion on the guide. Thanks in advance :)

So, finished with the introduction, now let's get down to business.

p.s. This manual is a translation of my other manual, so there may be many errors. I apologize in advance.

Simple Ways

Now that we've moved on from the beginning, it's time to get to the climax. For convenience, I'm going to break down all the ways to do things, and I'll put them in order, depending on how easy they are to do and how much income they bring in, from the worst to the most COSHER. Let's go!

1. Search your own house. All the stuff in my house was 579 dollars, but it may be different for you, after all, things are randomly spawned (in fact, I do not really know how they are spawned there, but probably exactly as I think) .

2. Throw out garbage, refill the oil in the furnace and clean the washing machine. You get paid $100 for each job done, with oil and descaler costing $50, which means going through these 3 places can raise $200. They are updated every day, so don't forget that.

P.s. Some types of trash in the trash cost something. So, for example, a regular bag is priceless, and with something else it's worth trying your luck and selling it at a kiosk or on the black market for a certain amount of money.

3. Gather information (take a deep breath) about the tenants. To do this is simple. Each NPC has its own schedule, it should know, remember and intelligently apply, so that the "house search" is performed without any problems, otherwise we will be taken by the cops (tested). It sounds strange, but now with the surveillance can learn a lot about the tenants.

In the release version is now very much depends on the amount of money, so we try to live extremely modestly. Help to poor miserable can be found in the section "Tips from the author ".

4. Become an alphonse and constantly piss off your spouse by asking for money. This method during the very first beta test (November 2021) was the most COSHER, as it gave the player the ability to get from $600 to $1,200 per request! But as time went on, the game changed, and this once-perfect way was turned into the kind of thing you don't regret forgetting. My wife is now all the same amount of currency: $50. The good thing is that at least ask her they can be every day, maybe useful?

P.s. money does not accumulate, that is, if you do not ask her for a while, then at the request she will give 50, as written in the scripts.

Great Ways

Unfortunately, at the time of editing the guide, I was able to find only one actual way to really COSHER earnings. In the future, of course, I will try to find many more ways :)

Favorite Blackmail. The player will have to take this step anyway, because according to the plot you will have to evict at least Magnus Hermann.

I hasten to warn you about the possible risks that the developers have either developed or introduced in the game. So, if we are talking in the context of a single tenant, for the first letter we are unlikely to get $ 2,000, and for the second is usually half the previous, and for the third is even less than the second. We can only hope that after a certain amount of blackmail later we will receive at least $ 500. Therefore, it is not worth blackmailing the same tenant, for soon our earnings will be less than the value of some forbidden item we plant. But that's not the worst part either! The scariest thing is that now, after denouncing a citizen whom you previously blackmailed, you will receive a fine for admitting that the prisoner admitted that we took money from him illegally . Usually the amount is a bill of about $640, but you may have a different amount. Use this information wisely!

P.s. the secret way to earn over +9999 as dollars, and reputation, had to remove, because he no longer works. I will try to revive it, but it is unlikely to succeed.

Bills Payable / Fines

In this game, as well as in Beholder 2, the tax system is developed, which is just as much in the pocket of the average worker with his next fees for the repair of the mega-reliable sewer for the Great Leader. These taxes automatically come to us and wait to be paid, because time is limited. Surely you've wondered, what happens if I don't pay? Will they come after me, beat me up, fire me, call me "from above" and then scold me? No, they won't, just the amount of the bill, when it is due, will be multiplied by 2 and renamed "reminder of payment". The counter, by the way, will start counting again, giving you the opportunity to save up money to close the account before the next increase in the amount to be paid. While I was testing and studying the system, I got $640 in debt for ignoring my request to pay the bill 2 times.

Tips From The Author

In this section I have collected a list of my own tips and recommendations for the passage of the game, so that your probability to be at the money was the maximum!

P.s. there may be repetitions of ways from previous sections. I think it will be more convenient. In a way, this topic can be considered a summary of the entire guide.

For the passage of the game I could not find the positive sides of unselfish help tenants, so do not be afraid and provide services only for a fee. For example, Elizabeth Wekert, you can sell penicillin for $ 1400 and she will only be glad. Similarly, we do the same with all the other characters.

Classic laundry room tidying up + asking your wife every day for money. Do not forget that some kinds of trash can be sold at the kiosk or on the black market!

Competently blackmail your tenants (see Great ways). Don't forget the risks!

Write characteristics on tenants only when absolutely necessary, because the more information you give about the tenant for 1 characteristic (for 1 time), the greater will be the reward. This is much better than sending it in bits and pieces.

Be careful! Some tenants have bipolar disorder, so they sometimes leave their apartments without warning! Maybe one day a tenant who you never got around to writing a character reference will leave your apartment!

Not many people know, but in this part it is now possible to do "House Searches" of tenants even when they are at home, but as long as they are asleep. Take advantage of it :)

P.s. It is forbidden to run in the house when performing such operations, they can wake up the proletarian. And you can also search the beds where the citizen is currently sleeping :D

Fill out the denunciation form correctly! If you make a mistake - you'll get a fine, nobody wants fines. Also, remember that what was previously prohibited, later may be legalized, so read the directives carefully, even not to get into a slip!

Don't steal anything from your tenants! The police will remotely know of your crime so they can come to the scene and put you on the bottle write you a fine. Don't think that if you put a stolen item on the spot you can get christened from punishment, it doesn't work that way.

Rumor has it that it is forbidden in the Ministry to stay for overtime. Working at night is shorter. In that case, a security guard will find you and throw you back to the subway station for a fresh ticket home. Why "rumors"? Because this system works once or maybe twice, but if you're caught, you'll get a matching achievement in Steam. By the way, you can read more about getting achievements in this game in my other guide ^_^

How To Collect A Characteristic On The Belongings Of Tenants

In order to register an interesting item, you must hover over it and in the upper left corner click on the sign that looks like two cards. Normal items do not have such a sign. Thus, we will be able to collect information on the tenant, using the items in his house. It is also worth mentioning that we can now "search the houses" of the tenants in their direct presence, but as long as they are asleep.

Ways To Lose

While writing the guide the idea came to mind to write about how you can lose. In general, there are only two ways: to bring the amount of money or reputation to 0. Well, here everything is clear and obvious

Obvious Ways To Make Money That Don't Work

In this thread I'm going to tell you about the ways of making money that were previously in the Beholder series of games, but in this part have been changed, as well as those that seem so obvious, but do not work.

The police costume from the quest to find it for Alfred Wekert (Elizabeth Wekert's son) only costs $1, so it only makes sense to sell it when you're $1 short of buying something.

You can't become an overbought speculator in the camcorder market anymore, because you can sell them for a maximum of $1, too. And I still remember how in Beholder 1, during the crisis, I used to buy cameras with all my reputation, and then run to the seller and sell this stuff for a lot of money... Where is that opportunity now...

Stealing also no longer get, because the current police on our theft triggers a remote alarm, which makes them instantly fly in to us put on a bottle of justice (even if we left the apartment tenant).

P.s. By "Bottle of Justice" I simply meant that we will be scolded and fined.

Once the tenant has moved out of the apartment, whatever the reason, we can no longer take all of their belongings or maybe we can, I just don't know how

Ordinary garbage bags in the game are not worth anything, you need to get out of the trash something exclusive, which then can be sold to a kiosk or on the black market.

Recommended For Review

Dear comrades, due to the fact that I liked the game quite a lot, I made a strange decision: to write a lot of Beholder 3 manuals at once.

I will try to put links to each of them in this section. At the moment, I have several manuals ready to go. All links and short descriptions are below:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2774554719

This guide is an English translation of my Russian-language guide to getting all the achievements in the game.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2772076584

This guide is very interesting, because it offers you to download all the old versions of the game, which belong to the category of "beta-test".

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2773897328

This guide is currently the first and, in principle, the only collection of step-by-step instructions on how to achieve each Achievement, including the secret ones.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2772058706

This manual is the primary source for the manual you are now reading. It is also my manual, only written in Russian.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2776223350

This manual is a transposition from the play-test version. It's also no longer up to date, but you can check it out for funat the stage of writing the manual it does not have a reference

This is the manual you are on right now :)

Update History

01.04.22 | 22:30 - manual writing\translation of the Russian-language manual.

End

So that's the end of this guide. I hope these obvious ways have helped someone. Actually, originally I wanted to make a detailed list for each tenant, which would include their times of doing this or that, so that you know for sure that some military drunk is not home at night, which means this is the ideal time to visit his house, but these are such little things that it was decided to omit them.

Anyway, that's all for now. Bye now!

P.s. yes, the tutorial was quite short, so I'm still waiting for your suggestions for additions in the comments!

p.s. 2: I still apologize for the crooked and sometimes incorrect translation.

Cut Out

In this section I save the former ways of making money that, for one reason or another, are no longer available. Maybe I do it as a memento, or maybe for those who want to play old versions of Beholder 3 which I politely suggest to download in my other handbook, I don't know :) Anyway, you can skip this one, you won't find anything worthwhile here.

Lite ways: 2.1 . CHEAT THE GAME SCRIPTS. At the beginning, when Ernst Muller (our boss pimp at the beginning of the game) will ask for maintenance of the first floor, we, instead of repairing the washing machine first, go to throw out the trash. Then, after fixing the washing machine, Ernst asks us to go to the 2 far rooms on the left side of the first floor to refill the oil in the oven and throw out the garbage. The scripts at this point will update and we will have the opportunity to throw out the trash again and get 100 bucks out of thin air. Use it, it's disposable :)

With Magnus Hermann you can get babulesa, simply by performing the process "poke pidmatracy" his house, and found there is a banned penicillin. P.s. Guide on how to collect data on the items in their apartments look in the section "How to collect characteristics on the things of the tenants" . When the smuggler is in his house, we knock on his door and start a dialogue. We warn him about the responsibility for keeping an illegal item, but he responds with a deal: he gives us penicillin and we find someone to sell it to. That person will turn out to be Elisabeth Weckert. We turn to her and say that we found the medicine and choose the item "name the overpriced", so we get not only the money to give to Hermann for the goods, but also the money that will go into our budget. By the way, she will give us 800 chekels, and we will give only 200, the total of 600 in our pocket. And that's assuming that we want him to give his share, because the game itself does not force us to do it :).

P.s. another way to do this character, look in the theme "Kosher ways".

If you for some reason you hate your family, or even in them see an opportunity to earn extra money, you can do this with the son of the main character Alex. After the task with his disability, at any rate, he will start playing the trumpet, which will go to his characteristic. If you have previously saved up on it, his new hobby will be a nice gift to you :)

That's it.

Kosher ways:

Become an alphonse and constantly dobeshit your spouse with requests to give babules. This is the most imbovy way, because she gives over ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! I counted the numbers of her generosity and the value of this parameter ranges from 600 to 1200 chekeles! Come up for a new portion of the green wonder to it can be EVERY DAY! With it, you can forget about financial problems, worries and cares.

Here we come to the most amazing way to get money. I used it to get more than 10K dollars for 1 day of play, can you imagine! But there is a BUT: this option is based on a bug that sooner or later posfiksya, but while he is, you can use it :)

INFINITE PENICILLIN! As you might guess, we have to strike Magnus Hermann, who gives us in the story penicillin in the amount of 1 pc. Anyway, to pull it all off, we have to get to the mission, in which we are asked to evict him, for this we need some dirt. It is the very same drug that we will find in his apartment (hahahah). After that, we will have the opportunity to threaten him with exile in quarry slavery, but only if we start talking to him at HIS HOUSE. He's only at home at night, so some people won't sleep. Anyway, we just go to his house every time and threaten him with this very penicillin, to which

he suggests we take one bottle of the forbidden stuff to get someone to fluff it up. Therein lies the catch of this mission, because we can threaten him EVERYWHERE, accordingly he will also offer us to take the medicine EVERYWHERE.

P.s. I've been tricking him like this since I gave (for free) the cure to Elizabeth, so perhaps this condition is also a prerequisite to pulling off this ♥♥♥♥ process.

Bills:

(......No ♥♥♥♥ at all, all taxes are paid AUTOMATICALLY when their timer runs out, so we have no need to go into the debt tab ourselves and pay them off manually at all. They'll take what they need when they need it :).......)

The secret way to earn over 9999 + rubles

Also in the game there is a way that allows us to get an unlimited amount of money, and reputation, but I will tell you about it only when under this leadership will be collected a very large number of likes, komentov, ratings, and other things, through which the reader expresses his attitude to the leadership. Once this threshold is passed, I will write a separate manual, for there really is a lot to talk about...
