Learn how to complete the 'Looting Grave Robber' side story in Octopath Traveler. Find the mercenary in Moldering Ruins and defeat him with H'aanit or Olberic.
Alright, let's tackle the Looting Grave Robber side story in Octopath Traveler. This one's pretty straightforward and pairs nicely with another quest, so you can knock them both out at once!
Where to Find It: You'll find the quest giver, a Merchant, in Duskbarrow. He's hanging out south of the village entrance and is having some trouble with a former mercenary who's convinced he's found a treasure trove in nearby ruins.
Party Requirements: To get this done, you'll need either H'aanit or Olberic in your party. One of them is required to deal with the mercenary.
- 1Head out of Duskbarrow. Keep an eye out for a save point not too far from the village.
- 2From that save point, head east. You'll find the entrance to the Moldering Ruins.
- 3Once inside the ruins, you won't have to go far to find the mercenary you're looking for.
- 4Now, you'll need to use either H'aanit's Provoke ability or Olberic's Challenge ability on him.
The Fight: This mercenary isn't too tough. He's got a strength of seven and mostly relies on physical attacks. He can buff his own physical attack, so keep an eye on that. Just beat him, and the quest will be completed.
- This is a great side story to do alongside Ashlan the Beastmaster (III) because both quests send you to the same location: the Moldering Ruins. Save yourself some backtracking!
