Obtain the Tanquilitea Secret Recipe
Make your way to the elevator and head up to Paradiso Resort’s Rooftop Terrace. Here, you must find and speak with a woman named Roman Masterson. There are a few methods you can use to get the recipe:
- Persuade Roman Masterson with a 7 bar check.
- Pay Roman Masterson 4000 Credits.
- Steal from Roman Masterson using the Theft skill.
- Assassinate Roman Masterson and take the recipe from her body. Yeah, this is overkill.
Return to Kumar
Return to Cafe Lux in the lobby and speak with Kumar to hand over the secret recipe and complete the quest.
Persuade Kumar to Get More Credits(Optional)
Before you end the quest, you can ask Kumar for more Credits through a Persuasion check. Successfully persuading him will give you 2,500 Credits extra.
With this, you have completed the mission, and a new food item also becomes available in Cafe Lux’s stock, although you may have to wait a bit for the item to appear in their inventory.
