Full Guide

Who Ramses is

Ramses Molloy is a network-relevant character who responds to leverage and demonstrated competence. Unlike Karolina, who values understanding, Ramses wants proof that you are useful and reliable.

Where to find him

Ramses appears after you have established initial contacts in the network. He is not available in the very first hours. Progress through the Bootleg Bazaar and related early leads until his location is revealed through natural story progression.

Preparation

Collect faction standing information and relationship context before pushing recruitment. Ramses responds to demonstrated competence and concrete offers. Vague promises may close the recruitment route.

Conversation approach

Choose responses that reference specific facts you have gathered. If your build supports bluffing (high Nerve or Doppelgäng), it may work but creates future pressure. Honest leverage is usually safer.

Why he matters

Ramses changes available tasks, contacts, and potentially faction attitudes. Track these changes carefully as they may affect late-game routes. He is particularly valuable for network-focused and faction-politics playthroughs.
