Dino's Sidequests

Complete Dino's sidequests in final fantasy xv: The Aspiring Artisan, A Stone-Studded Stunner, Reliable Royalty, No Pain, No Gem, and A Treasure Beyond Measure.

The Aspiring Artisan

Where: Galdin Quay

When: Finish “Ill Tidings” (Chapter 1)

After completing “Ill Tidings” and Chapter 1, you can return to Dino at Galdin Quay to get this quest, or he will call you the first time you rest in Chapter 2. He will ask you to find a stone. The Mineral Deposit containing the Amethyst Stone is east of Longwythe Peak, north-east of the Longwythe Rest Area.

A Stone-Studded Stunner

Where: Galdin Quay

When: Finish “The Aspiring Artisan”, Complete Chapter 2

Complete “The Aspiring Artisan” and return to Dino to get this quest, which requires travel to Duscae. After completing “Declaration of War” to gain access to Duscae, make your way south from the Wiz Chocobo Outpost to find the Malacchi Pond Fishing Spot. Near this spot, you’ll find three Mineral Deposits containing the Heliodor Stones Dino requires.

Reliable Royalty

Where: Galdin Quay

When: Finish “A Stone-Studded Stunner”

The next stone Dino requests can be found at a Mineral Deposit north of the Wennath Riverhead Parking Spot, south-west of Lestallum. Drive there with the Regalia and park, then head south down some stairs to reach the wilderness under the highway. Follow the Wennath River north until you find a pack of Sahagin guarding the Mineral Deposit you’re after. Kill the Sahagins and claim the Sapphire Stone.

No Pain, No Gem

Where: Galdin Quay

When: Finish “Reliable Royalty”

While you can start this quest immediately after completing “Reliable Royalty”, you’ll need to gain access to The Vesperpool before you can complete it. This requires completing Chapter 6. Head to the south-western end of The Vesperpool to find the Myrlwood dungeon. The Mineral Deposit is located at the south-eastern end of the first large chamber of the dungeon.

A Treasure Beyond Measure

Where: Galdin Quay

When: Finish “No Pain, No Gem”

Dino’s final quest directs you to enter the Costlemark Tower dungeon, found in south-eastern Duscae, east of The Fallgrove Parking Spot. You can only enter the dungeon at night. Inside, proceed by balancing on a fallen pillar, then head down two spiraling ramps before crawling through a hole. The Emerald Stone Dino wants is on some rubble to the west. Return this stone to Dino to claim your reward and finish this questline.
