Main Scenario Quest Icon Homecoming

Select the newly opened Obelisk IconThree Reeds Obelisk on the world map. After a short introduction video, this will be your first time exploring an area in Rosaria (aside from the Prologue missions). As a reminder…

Walking along the Three Reeds pathway in Rosaria

Three Reeds

Your objective is to head towards Martha’s Rest in the center of Rosaria, but there are a few pit stops we can make along the way. For starters, though, make your way towards the Optional Quest Marker Optional Quest Icon on the map.

Speak to Rowan, the Optional Quest giver, as you’re passing by, but don’t complete the quest just yet. Our travels will take us to where Rowan wants us to go eventually.

Instead, take some time to explore the Three Reeds zone along the way. As you can see from the map below, there are four treasure coffers that you can find in this area:

3) Green Treasure Coffer IconGreen Treasure Coffer Grey Material IconBloody Hide (x10)
4) Blue Treasure Coffer IconBlue Treasure Coffer Grey Material IconBlack Blood

You’ll come across a variety of enemies in this area, most of which you are already familiar with. There are some large ‘Bighorn’ enemies in this area that have quite a bit of HP but are still pretty easy to take down. All of their attacks have wind-up animations that make them easy to dodge.

Once you’ve gathered all four treasure coffers, make your way towards the Optional Quest Marker Optional Quest Objective Icon and speak to Gerard, the Stable Master, to complete Optional Quest IconWhat a Bird Wants.

Continue along the bridge towards the Main Scenario Quest Marker Main Scenario Quest Icon.

The Obelisk IconMartha’s Rest Obelisk will activate automatically as soon as you enter the town proper. Before we move on with anything, there are a few treasure coffers that you can pick up in this area:

Now follow the Main Scenario Quest Marker Main Scenario Quest Icon into the large building in the center of town, the “Golden Stables”, to meet with Martha. Following the discussion, Martha will give you a Main Scenario Subquest Main Scenario Subquest Icon called “Building Bridges” to complete.

Accepting the Bridge Building Main Scenario subquest from Martha

Main Scenario Objective Icon Building Bridges

This small Subquest is completed while you’re completing “Homecoming,” and you’ll see both quests on the right side of your screen. These Subquests are usually very straightforward to complete, and this one is no exception.

Head towards the town’s entrance and look for a ladder on the right side of the screen. Climb down the ladder, and the second ladder after that, and look towards the bottom of the cliff to see a man surrounded by three Cray Claw enemies.

Defeat the three Cray Claws and you’ll earn some spoils (which include Green Material IconValley Madder and Grey Material IconSharp Fangs). Bernard, the Carpenter, will head back up to keep working on the bridge. Meanwhile, you can fast travel back to Martha to complete the Subquest. She’ll give you a Grey Key Item IconLeather Pouch key item to deliver as part of your next Subquest.

Defeating the Cray Claws below Martha’s Rest

Main Scenario Objective Icon A Bearer’s Lot

The Leather Pouch needs to be delivered to Martha’s friend in Glaidemond Abbey in Sorrowise. You can see the location you’re headed to if you pull up the map, but Sorrowise is the area southwest of Martha’s Rest. You can reach it by activating the elevator near the cliffs on the east side of town.

Using the elevator on the west side of Martha’s Rest

There are three treasure coffers that you can open up in the Sorrowise area. Use the map below to help you find them:

You can only obtain the Green Treasure Coffer IconGreen Treasure Coffer after you’ve completed the story events at Glaidemond Abbey. You’ll have the option to fast travel back to Martha’s Rest, but make sure you grab the treasure coffer before you do.

You’ll receive Yellow Curiosity Item IconThe Slumbering Chocobo from Martha once the Subquest has been completed. After stepping outside the Golden Stable, you’ll complete the Main Scenario Quest for “Homecoming”. It’s time to move on to the next section of the game.
