Follow our guide to complete the Stolen Things side quest in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Get the Formal Silk Hat and 400 Gil!
Hey there! Ready to tackle another side quest in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII? This one's called "Stolen Things," and it's a pretty straightforward one that pops up in Yusnaan. You'll be running around the Reveler's Quarter and Central Avenue, so keep an eye out for a couple of shady characters.
Walkthrough
- 1First off, you'll need to be playing between 12:00 and 04:00 in-game time for this quest to be available. Head over to the Reveler's Quarter. Look for a young boy dressed in yellow. He tends to hang around near the Tour Guide NPC. Just let him approach you; he's going to try and pickpocket you. Once he's successfully stolen from you, it's your cue to give chase! Catch up to him, and he'll actually give your money back.
- 2After that little encounter, make your way to Central Avenue. Find Gregory, who's chilling at the top of the stairs. Talk to him and explain what just happened with the boy. Gregory will then ask you to deliver a letter to someone named Pickett.
- 3Now, you need to find Pickett. Head back to where you can find him (the quest marker should guide you) and let him steal the letter from you. Yes, again! Once he's swiped it, confront him. This will trigger a cutscene.
- 4With that done, your final step is to return to Gregory. Let him know how the delivery went. Completing this quest will reward you with 400 Gil and the Formal Silk Hat, which gives a nice boost to your HP, Strength, and Magic.
Tips
- Keep an eye on the clock! This quest is only available for a specific window each day.

- The Formal Silk Hat is a pretty decent early-game accessory, so it's worth doing this quest for the stats alone.
- Gil Obtained: 400
- Item Obtained: Formal Silk Hat (HP +50, Strength +2, Magic +4)
