Unlock Conditions

This quest unlocks once you have completed the three Main Scenario Subquests of Main Scenario Quest IconThings Fall Apart, including “The Flames of War,” “Why We Fight,” and “Down the Rabbit Hole.”

However, for this quest, you’ll need to first travel to the Krozjit Echoes to open up access to the other Obelisks, which means you’ll have to be on the Main Scenario Quest IconCloak and Dagger Main Scenario Quest.

Quest Details

The first step is to speak with Harpocrates. Following that, you’ll have to “obtain some saint’s bonnet on the Northreach coast” and “defeat a blueback wyvern on the Northreach coast.”

Travel to the Obelisk IconNorthreach Obelisk, run through the town of Northreach, and into the Royal Meadows. Hop on your Chocobo IconChocobo and ride towards the grassy areas in front of the Baywatch tower.

The Blueback Wyvern that you have to defeat is just like every other wyvern-type enemy you’ve faced. It should go down relatively easily with the abilities and equipment you have now compared to the previous ones you’ve defeated.

Approaching the Blueback Wyvern in the Royal Meadows

The spoils from defeating the Wyvern will include a Green Key Item IconRaptor Liver, and you can collect the Green Key Item IconSaint’s Bonnet flowers nearby. Return to the Hideaway and speak to Molly to complete the quest.
