The style and design ofWest of Loathingmight look simple, but that’s part of the charm, and things are not always as they seem. By the time the protagonist has reached the town ofBreadwood, the player has grown accustomed to the types of twisted puzzles, cowboy jargon, and weird sense of humor that makeWest of Loathingsmarter than it looks.
After the main character has succeeded in unblocking the railway the first time after it was blocked, this time the bridge is out. Smee the Conductor sends the protagonist to the nearby town of Breadwood to secure some lumber to rebuild the bridge. There are several quests available in this drunk horse town, and some of them are mandatory if that train is going to make it to Frisco.
Players that use their powers as a Necromancer or the El Vibrato technology to rebuild the bridge before they speak with Smee won’t unlock Breadwood, and the quests and items therein won’t be available. Players planning on using these solutions should do soafterSmee reveals the location of the town.

The Mayor’s Office
This is where most of the Errands in Breadwood can be found,but there’s more to dothan jaw with the Mayor. As players will come to expect inWest of Loathing, not all of these quests end in a way that’s expected or conventional. Don’t forget to visit the Buttered Biscuit and the Bunkhouse, and always keep an eye out for Foragin' or Tradin' options.
There are seven quests, or Errands, available from the Mayor of Breadwood. Players can take on these quests byinteracting with the board labeled “Problems” in the Mayor’s office.At least five of them have to be completed to get the wood required to build a bridge. Two other Errands can be found in Breadwood that have nothing to do with fixing the bridge, and they only reward XP.
