After the cutscene ends, players can begin to explore the new area. While the objective is to head to Martha’s Rest, that is a long ways away. While players can just head right there if they wish, there are lots of monsters to fightto get more ability pointsand materials to gather. There is also a side quest available in this area called “What a Bird Wants”.

Regardless of what players choose to do, it is not difficult to reach Martha’s Rest as players can just follow the road all the way there. Upon arriving at Martha’s Rest, fast travel will become available for this area. There is a shop here as well, so players can restock on suppliesor purchase materials for craftingif needed.

Talk to Martha

Martha is inside the large building in the middle of Martha’s Rest. Talk to her to trigger a cutscene. She offers advice on how Jill and Clive can reach Phoenix Gate, but unfortunately the bridge cannot be used. To make matters worse, the carpenter that could repair it has gone missing in the marshes. This starts the first request inFinal Fantasy 16.

This request is similar to a side quest, but the main difference is that it is mandatory to progress the story. Leave the inn and go down the stairs to reach a ladder that leads down into the marshes. After climbing down the ladder, walk across the platform toward another ladder. Nearby there is a group of monsters who have cornered a man, whom is the carpenter that players were sent to find.Defeat the three enemiesto trigger a cutscene. Afterward, return to Martha to report the good news.

Go to Glaidemond Abbey

After a few cutscenes, players will have to do another request while the bridge is being repaired. Leave Martha’s Rest and head west toward Sorrowise where the Glaidemond Abbey is located. Use the elevator on the west side of Martha’s Rest to reach the path that leads to Sorrowise. Along the way there are a lot of side paths that players can take to pick up crafting materials and consumables. At a dead end north of Glaidemond Abbey, there is a chest filled with items.

Upon arriving at the Glaidemond Abbey, a cutscene will play. After viewing a grim scene, return to Martha’s Rest. While players can walk there if they wish, the obelisk in Martha’s Restallows them to fast travel thereinstead. Speak to Martha to complete her second request. Leave the inn and a cutscene will play and the next main scenario quest will start.
