Hell Is Us All Good Deeds Guide

hell is us

Good Deeds in Hell Is Us are optional side quests scattered across Hadea. Each one asks you to recover an item, rescue someone, or deliver something to the right person. Completing them adds to your Good Deeds tally, which unlocks rewards later when you meet Gildas Brom at the Watcher’s Nest.

There are 23 Good Deeds in total. Some are straightforward fetch quests but others have hidden timers or fail conditions, so you’ll want to know where to go and what to prioritize. This guide lists every Good Deed and how to complete it.

Senedra Forest

The Golden Watch – Retrieve the gold watch from a lockbox in the trenches and return it to Ernest Caddell in the family farm cellar.
Forlorn Fate – Recover the Blood Flame relic and smuggler’s route map from Lamit Gantt’s corpse in Talju. Use the relic to open the sealed door in Senedra Forest and free the trapped survivors. Give the map to Yohan or Dolo before you collect the third keystone.

Acasa Marshes

Love Thy Neighbor – Find the bloodied plushie at the hangman’s tree near the Timeloop and trade it with the drunk man for a classroom picture. Deliver the picture to the grieving woman near Abbot Jaffer’s location before Vaas moves to Panthem Abbey.
Victor’s Vigil – Talk to Victor in the tunnel maintenance room to get a house key. Use it to find car keys in Jova, then unlock the submerged car in the marsh to retrieve a necklace. Return it to Victor.
Asunder – Collect the wife’s letter from a suitcase in Jova and give it to the father by the mass grave. This must be done before placing the Keystone of Grief.
Performance of a Lifetime – Gather the “Our Pride” sheet music from Jova and the “Losilus Dreaming” sheet music from Vyssa Hills. Deliver both to Cyan Karsh, the fiddler in Jova’s square, before Jaffer leaves for the abbey.
Land of Milk and Honey – Enter the tunnels beneath Jova from the drunk man’s basement and collect empty baby bottles. Take them to Ernest Caddell, then bring the filled bottles back to Judith Kerr in Acasa Marsh before placing the Keystone of Grief.
Waylaid – Collect a keycard from Lethe, unlock the OMSIF depot, and recover the ON military radio. Then pick up medicine in Talju and deliver both to Roho and Tyra in Acasa Marsh before the third keystone.
Where the Heart Is – After placing the Keystone of Grief, collect a photo from the ON convoy near Victor’s location and return it to Zao Ru in Jova.

Vyssa Hills

Death’s Door – Retrieve Atenolol from a destroyed convoy in the mine and deliver it to Diana Kos in the refugee camp before placing the Keystone of Grief.
Heart of Gold – Close the Timeloop, collect ON pickup keys, and give them to Atticus Caddell near the Watcher’s Nest. Help all refugees first for the best outcome.
Man’s Best Friend – Free the dog near Jova’s well to receive a collar medal. Deliver it to the elderly couple in the Vyssa Hills refugee camp before Jaffer departs.

Talju

A Light in the Dark – Collect flares from the generator near town hall and deliver them to four survivors across Talju, then defeat the parking lot boss. Complete this before the evac truck leaves.

The Depths of Hell – After restoring power, retrieve boat gas from the Deimos camp and give it to Bob in the riverside house. Return later for loot in the barn.

Never Worn – Use a cave key to retrieve red shoes from a locker, then place them on a chair in Jova’s abandoned bedroom.

Mementos – After completing Heart of Gold and The Depths of Hell, collect the Hand-Made Ring and Cigarette Case from museum corpses. Deliver the ring to Dag and the case to Linda, depending on quest outcomes.

Rewards for Good Deeds

Completing even one Good Deed unlocks the Good Samaritan achievement. Finishing them all unlocks Man of the People. Progress also gives lore, investigation clues, and Glyphs for your build. Rewards are claimed later from Gildas Brom at the Watcher’s Nest, so check back after hitting milestones.

Final Blurb

Good Deeds in Hell Is Us add humanity to a harsh world. Some are simple fetch quests, while others demand careful timing before certain keystones are placed. Completing them all not only unlocks achievements, but also rewards you with Glyphs, lore, and recognition as someone who helped Hadea’s survivors.
