FF16 - Friend of the People Side Quest Walkthrough

By
Shane Williams

The Friends of the People side quest in Final Fantasy 16 can be acquired in "Northreach" iconNorthreach once you reach The Dame main quest. Here you’ll find a person named Mathieu who wishes to treat the local Bearers a bit better than their masters. We’ll take you through the necessary steps to completion and how to find the !bearers

Speak with Mathieu to begin the Friends of the People quest.

Clive is asked to deliver food to various overworked Bearers around Northreach by a certain concerned noble.

How to Start the Friends of the People Side Quest in Final Fantasy 16

First things first, you’ll need to have completed the main story "Righting Wrongs" iconRighting Wrongs, and be on The Dame. When those requirements have been met, head over to Mathieu and you’ll learn that there are three overworked Bearers and he wishes to give them some food as their masters have no interest in doing it themselves, so he requests that you deliver the food to them discreetly.

Where to Find the Bearers

Once you’ve finished speaking with Mathieu, open up your map and you’ll notice two circles in the Imperial Training Grounds and one in The Dragon’s Armer. Here you’ll want to avoid the person attempting to heal the soldier in the center of the training grounds for now and instead head to the north of the area to find a Bearer drying some laundry. Speak with them and give them a Bearer Comestibles and you’ll learn a little bit more about their situation.

Head to these locations on the map (left), and give the mistreated bearers a comestible (right)

Next up, explore the surrounding area for chests as they may contain useful accessories which will make future side/main quests easier, then you’ll want to head over to The Dragon Armer and give this mistreated Bearer some Comestibles, then return to the Bearer in the training ground and give him your last Comestible. Finally, return to "The Veil" iconThe Veil and speak with the Veil Courtsan to bring this quest to a close. Here you’ll be rewarded with "Magicked Ash" iconMagicked Ash x25. This can be used at the Blacksmith to craft or upgrade weapons.

Other Side Quests in The Holy Empire of Sanbreque

As you’re playing through the Main Quest you’ll find more Side Quests as you’re exploring "The Holy Empire of Sanbreque" iconThe Holy Empire of Sanbreque, so below is a list of other side quests that can be found:
