You will get the quest from Julian at the Bazaar to check in with Hans, who had bought a bottle of poisoned water from him. He will also tell you to ask Marco about the water and sort out the matter with him. This guide will cover all the objectives of the side quest with the different outcomes.
Once you enter the Bazaar, go past the bartender shop to find Julian. Once the cutscene is over, you will get two objectives, where you will have the choice to warn Hans about the water or to deal with Marco first. We will start the quest by finding Hans first.
Head to the objective marker at the west side of the Houndfield region. It leads to Hans' house, where he and his wife Anna lives. The door will be locked from the inside. Use a lockpick to open the door. Once you get inside, you will see that Hans has gone out hunting and taken the poisoned water with him. His wife Anna will tell you the location where you will find him.
Head to the location on the westernmost side of Houndfield. You will find him at the top of a tower. Talk to him and give him the bottle of booze that Anna gave you. Hans will thank you for letting him know about the contaminated water and will reward you.
Now that this matter has been taken care of, it is time to head to Marco and question him about the poisoned water being distributed to the people of the city. You will find Marco south of Hans' location, to the west of Houndfield. There will be some enemies outside the building that you have to kill before you can continue.
Kill the enemies and scale the building to find a window from where you can enter. As you enter from the window, look to the right to find a slightly opened door. Open the door and jump down. Go into the next room, where you will find Marco. Marco will tell you that Julian sold flour mixed with plaster and will only be willing to help you if you clear the infected from the floor below.
Jump down to the lower floor and kill the infected enemies. You can sneak behind the zombies and take them out silently without alarming others. Or you can go all in and take them on at once. After clearing the floor of the infected, close the door to initiate a cutscene.
Marco will tell you that he wanted to teach a lesson to the thieves who were stealing the water from him. He deliberately poisoned some water and sent it out for the thieves to drink. However, it ended up in the Bazaar in the hands of Julian, who then sold it to his customers.
Marco will bribe you with all the flour in his possession to keep quiet about this matter and let him get away with it. You will now have to decide what to do with Marco.
If you want to side with Julian, choose this option. Aiden will tell Marco that he will let the Bazaar know about his wrongdoings. Marco will get mad at you and start a fight. You will now have to face him in a mini-boss fight.
Marco will only attack you with Heavy Attacks, which cannot be blocked. You will have to dodge out of the way and hit him when he is off balance. Time your dodges, so it staggers him, and you can use that short period to land a few hits.
Once he has been taken care of, head back to the Bazaar and talk to Julian. Tell the truth about the contaminated water to Ed, who is there to question Julian about the water and take him to the Council. After you tell the truth to Ed, he will let Julian go.
Julian will thank you for standing up for him and reward you. It will complete the side quest, and you will get 1,250x Combat XP, 250x Parkour XP, 5x Flour, and 250x Old World Money.
If you select this option, Marco will tell you to keep quiet about the whole situation and let Julian handle things on his own. It will finish the side quest on the spot, and you will get 1,250x Combat XP, 250x Parkour XP, 5x Flour, and 250x Old World Money for completing it.
When you go back to the Bazaar, you will find Ed and others surrounding Julian. He will ask you to tell them about the water, but Aiden will lie and tell them that the water was clean all along. Julian will get taken to the Council, where he will plead his case.
