    I have never seen such a confusing abstruse Follower. I did this whole Questline twice and got the neutral ending twice even though I followed this Guide. sm_astridfinale just ended up Neutral, even though I found the Thing.

    There should be a Sub-Mod that changes the Dialogue and gives you Hints in the Questlog.

    Very frustrating.

      The boat that has the captain on the ship, not the big ship that you need to open door to get in BUT Astrid needs to be close to you and you talk to the captain and the new dialogue will appear.
