Trial and Error
This page provides an overview of how to complete the Trial and Error Optional Quest.
Unlock Conditions
This quest is unlocked when you reach 
Back to Their Origin, the last Main Scenario Quest.
Quest Giver and Location
The quest giver is Nazaire, the Cursebreaker, who is standing at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the mess in the Hideaway.
Quest Details
Travel to the 
Northreach Obelisk and look for Nazaire standing with Ember just outside of the market area. After a short discussion, Clive will have to follow Ember up to Eastwatch. Hop on your 
Chocobo and travel in the direction of the quest marker.
Once you reach Eastwatch, you’ll have to defeat a Tot Aevis, which is just another aevis-type enemy. Return to Nazaire at Northreach after the battle and then meet up with him again back at the Hideaway.
You’ll have the option to select whether Ember “deserves passing marks,” but it doesn’t matter whether you select yes or no; the outcome of the quest is the same.
