FF16 - Trading Places Side Quest Walkthrough

By
Shane Williams

The Trading Places II side quest in Final Fantasy 16 can be acquired at The Boklad Markets once you reach the Cloak and Dagger main quest. Here you’ll find an NPC named Eloise and she’ll tell you that she has plans to purchase some Bearers. We’ll take you through the necessary steps to completion and to finding the Abandoned Fishing Village.

Speak with !Eloise in The !Boklad Markets to begin this quest.

Eloise has a plan to purchase a large group of "Bearer" iconBearers and relocate them to "Kasjlok" iconKasjlok, where they might live free - the only obstacle, the beasts and bogles that have made a nest of the abandoned village.

How to Start The Trading Places Side Quest in Final Fantasy 16

First things first, you’ll need to have completed the main story mission Things Fall Apart, and be on Cloak and Dagger. When those requirements have been met, head over to "Eloise" iconEloise who can be found in The "Boklad" iconBoklad Markets which is located in "The Dhalmekian Republic" iconThe Dhalmekian Republic. Speak with her and you’ll discover that she plans to relocate some Bearers Kasjlok so they live a better live without the restrictions of their masters. However, the village is currently overrun by beasts, so she wants you to clear it out.

Where to Find the Abandoned Fishing Village

Once you’ve finished speaking with Eloise, fast travel to the "Laetny's Cleft" iconLaetny’s Cleft "Obelisk" iconObelisk and head southwest to reach the Abandoned Fishing Village. Here you’ll come across multiple Feral Hounds, so you’ll want to group them up and use your AoE Abilities, such as "Aerial Blast" iconAerial Blast and "Earthen Fury" iconEarthen Fury to make quick work of them. As you get deeper into the village some Helldivers will try and take you down, so pull them down by using "Deadly Embrace" iconDeadly Embrace and follow it up with "Gouge" iconGouge.

After you’ve cleared out all of the enemies, you’ll want to return to Boklad, but before you do you’ll want to explore the surrounding area for Chests, as they may contain useful Accessories. When you arrive back at Boklad, speak with Eloise and tell her the goods that the village is safe and the quest will come to a close. Here you’ll be rewarded with "Wyrrite" iconWyrrite x50, "Meteorite" iconMeteorite x1 and "Black Blood" iconBlack Blood x1.
