Guide to Octopath Traveler's 'The Gravekeeper's Grief' side story in Noblecourt. Learn how to get the Codger-friendly Bow or win a duel to help the gravekeeper.

Hey there! Let's tackle the 'The Gravekeeper's Grief' side story in Octopath Traveler. It's a pretty straightforward one, located in the graveyard area of East Noblecourt. You'll find a gravekeeper who's having a bit of trouble with a troublemaker, and well, he's not as quick on his feet as he used to be.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, you'll need to head to the western side of Noblecourt. Look for a specific NPC named Accomplished Graybeard, who's chilling in the southeastern corner of the area. He's got an item that'll sort out the gravekeeper's problem.
  2. 2
    Your task is to either Steal or Purchase the Codger-friendly Bow from this Graybeard.
  3. 3
    Once you've got the bow, bring it back to the gravekeeper in East Noblecourt to wrap up the quest.

Alternate Solution:

  1. If you'd rather not go the item route, there's another way! Head to Western Noblecourt Flats. You'll see an NPC named Impresario standing by a tent – don't worry about him.
  2. Instead, go south from the Impresario. You'll bump into another NPC, an Awkward Boy.
  3. Now, you'll need to use either H'aanit or Olberic for this. Use their Challenge or Provoke ability on the boy. He's only a strength of three and weak to spears, so it's a pretty easy duel.
  4. Defeating him in this duel will also complete the quest!

Extra Scene:

  • If you choose the second route (the duel), you can head back to the gravekeeper afterwards. Chat with him for a little bonus scene. It's a nice touch!
  • Completing this side story will net you 4,500 Leaves and the Gravekeeper’s Mark. This is available during Chapter 2-3.
