Sparks of Revolution

Guide to completing the 'Sparks of Revolution' side story in Octopath Traveler. Learn how to gather weapons or acquire crucial information to prevent a rebellion.

Hey there! Ready to tackle another side story in Octopath Traveler? This one's called 'Sparks of Revolution,' and it's all about stopping a potential uprising in Bolderfall. You'll need to have finished Therion's Chapter 1 to even start it, but don't worry, it's a pretty straightforward one with a nice reward of 2,000 Leaves.

There are actually two ways to wrap this quest up, and thankfully, you can do it all within Bolderfall. First, you'll want to find the Stern Guardsman hanging out just outside the big house in the northeastern part of town. He's heard whispers of a revolution and wants to prevent it.

Method 1: Gather the Weapons

For this method, you'll need either Tressa or Therion in your party. Head down to Lower Bolderfall and start checking the pockets of the townsfolk. You're on the hunt for three specific weapons: the Rebel’s Axe, the Revolutionary Sword, and the Spear of Justice. Once you've got them (either by purchasing them or stealing them, depending on your character's skills), bring them back to the Stern Guardsman.

Method 2: Acquire the Plans

If you'd rather go with the second option, you'll need either Alfyn or Cyrus in your party. This time, head inside that same large house where the Guardsman is standing. You'll want to use either Alfyn's 'Inquire' or Cyrus's 'Scrutinize' ability on the Enlightened Aristocrat inside. Successfully getting the information will net you the Project Plans. Take this crucial intel back to the Guardsman, and you'll have successfully completed the 'Sparks of Revolution' side story!
