A Bone to Pick
This page provides an overview of how to complete the A Bone to Pick Optional Quest.
Unlock Conditions
This quest becomes available after you’ve completed the three “Letting Off Steam” quests during the 
Out of the Shadow Main Scenario Quest.
Quest Giver and Location
This quest is activated by reading a missive called 
A Bad Feeling…. The missives can be found at the 
Reading Table in Clive’s Chambers in the Hideaway.
Quest Details
This is an important quest! If Torgal is not doing well, this is a top priority. Why Charon thought it was okay to wait until Clive read her letter instead of just yelling at him as he was running past… we may never know.
Speak to Charon and then speak to Harpocrates. He will suggest you slay some “Elder Antelopes” in Cressida. Travel to the 
Martha's Rest Obelisk and exit using the bridge on the north side of town. Hop on your 
Chocobo and ride to Cressida.
Switch over to your multi-target 
Eikonic Ability Set, but the Elder Antelopes in this area are very easy to defeat. Clive will gather up the five 
Elder Antelope Femur after the fight, and you can return to Charon at the Hideaway to complete the quest.
Rewards
Cavall’s Fang
Sharp Fang (x50)- 500
Experience Points - 800
Gil - 20
Renown
But the most important reward is a happy pooch!

Payback
Optional Quest
This quest begins from a missive called Off the Record.
“A cursory review of the hideaway’s ledges by Gaute has revealed an issue of utmost concern—so concerning, in fact, that he wishes to speak with Clive about it personally.”
Blacksmith’s Blues II
Optional Quest
This quest begins from a missive called About Blackthorn….
“Clive receives a letter from August asking him to help cheer Blackthorne up again. What could be the matter with him this time?”

Walkthrough Guide
“Clive returns to the hideaway and sets about spreading the glad tidings that Hugo Kupka—the man who crushed their former home and saw many of their friends slaughtered—is no more. Those who lost their lives that fateful night are avenged, and those lucky enough to survive can now live without fear that he might one day return.”
