This page provides an overview of how to complete the 
Tears of Mercy Optional Quest.
Unlock Conditions
This quest and two others become available once you complete the short “Like Father, Like Daughter” Main Scenario Subquest during 
A Song of Hope.
Quest Giver and Location
You can find Rodrigue, the Physicker, in the Infirmary of the Hideaway.
Quest Details
The first step of this quest is to speak to Tarja over by the patient’s bed. After that, you’ll need to slay a “Miteling” for its eye. Travel to the 
Lostwing Obelisk and head down “The Weeping Rent” pathway to the northeast of town.
The targets are a group of spiders out in the forest. They are very easy to defeat, but a little bit annoying to round up. Quickly dispatch with them, collect the 
Spider Eye key item, and travel back to Rodrigue in the Infirmary to complete the quest.
Rewards

- 400

Renown
There is one more reward to collect, though, after this Optional Quest is “completed.” If you pull open your map again, you’ll notice that a quest icon is still showing up. Speak to Tarja one more time, and she will give Clive the 
Medicine Chest curiosity.
Next Steps
Two more quests can be completed at the same time this one is available:
Optional Quest
“Unsatisfied by the present potency of his morganbeards, Nigel seeks a means to further invigorate the flowers…and believes the answer lies in the vines of a morbol—preferably one large and violent enough to warrant a billet on the Hunt Board.”
Optional Quest
“Blackthorne is upset yet again, and as expected, August has approached Clive to look into it. Will this be the last time? One can only hope so…”
