Should You Give The Ring To Hugo

Once you reach Athena Tower, you will find Hugo Fournier fuming about Octavio. Ask him about what happens in Dawn’s Roost as your conversation progresses. At one point in the conversation, you will be given the choice to persuade Hugo to hand over the ring to you or let him keep the ring for himself.

Whether you hand over the ring to Hugo or keep it for yourself is entirely up to you since there’s no difference in outcome. If you decide to let Hugo keep the ring, you’re able to return to Sergeant Yumi, tell him it was an engagement ring, and explain the situation to him.

How To Persuade Hugo

However, you can also persuade Hugo to hand over the ring to you. Doing so will let Hugo believe it was a gift, and thus, Octavio is the owner. Once you have taken the ring from Hugo, return it to Sergeant Yumi and give it back to him. You can also decide to keep the ring by lying to Sergeant Yumi by choosing“The ring wasn’t stolen. It was gifted”. You can later sell the ring for 655 credits.

Here’s how to persuade Hugo Fournier to hand over the ring to you:
