Before you start
Story progress
Chapter 5 or later
Xeno Series Wiki: Chapter 5 (after Zeke joins — the quest is received at Argentum's Central Exchange, no Tantal access needed). Fandom's table files it under Chapter 7. Mid-quest steps require Tantal (Chapter 6+).
How the quest unlocks
Read the notice board at the Central Exchange in Goldmouth, Argentum (a missing-children ad catches Perun's eye). Requirements: Perun's Key Affinity level 4 unlocked (Fandom); Xeno Series Wiki additionally requires her exclusive Chivalry field skill at level 2 (use Chivalry in merc missions x5) and Nia, Tora, Mòrag, Zeke, and Perun in the party. Her Key Affinity path: Lv 2 = perform any 3 "small good deeds" from a fixed list, Lv 3 = 1,300 Trust, Lv 4 = 3,800 Trust.
Field skill checks
- Water Mastery + Fortitude Lv 1 check to reach the search area around Lake Varna (Xeno Series Wiki)
- Fortitude + Superstrength Lv 2 check to reach Siarmal's group in the Ether Control Tower attic of the Old Factory (Xeno Series Wiki)
Also required
- Chivalry Lv 2 (Perun-exclusive field skill: use Chivalry in Merc Missions x5) — Xeno Series Wiki
- Party must include Nia, Tora, Mòrag, Zeke, and Perun (Xeno Series Wiki)
- Mid-quest merc mission "Child Disappearances": Perun must LEAD the squad, plus 1 Wind Mastery, 1 Ancient Wisdom, and 1 Chivalry Blade (Lv 1+); 20 minutes, cut to 5 with Info Collector and Water Mastery skills
Walkthrough
- Read the Central Exchange notice board in Argentum with Perun in the party, then talk to Silas near the Goldmouth Flight Deck.
- Ask around for information on Argentum's first floor (four NPCs), then report back to Silas.
- Dispatch the merc mission "Child Disappearances" — Perun must be squad leader, with 1 Wind Mastery, 1 Ancient Wisdom, and 1 Chivalry Blade (20 minutes base).
- Talk to Perun at Fonsa Myma Port in Uraya, then to Darryth in the Commercial District.
- Talk to all three witnesses: Lacie (Entertainment District), Celtie (Commercial District), and Daffydd (Gwenith Paddies).
- Search the area around Lake Varna (passing a Water Mastery + Fortitude Lv 1 field skill check to get there) and defeat the Tronk Aligo (Lv 46).
- Talk to Dianna in the Commercial District, then search for Martal's parents in Theosoir, Tantal.
- Head to Genbu Port in Tantal AT DAWN and defeat the Drivers there (the Edin Driver and Radys Drivers).
- Gather information at Port Anangham in Mor Ardain, then head to the Old Factory — Skip Travel inside the factory is disabled until the quest ends, and Perun LEAVES the party here for reconnaissance.
- Rescue all four groups of captured children, each guarded by a Driver: Maqqa (Work Observation Tower 2F — Zohak Driver), Vend (Quality Control Tower top floor — Gardyll Driver), Wotawota (Nopon Workers' Quarters — Rafut Driver), and Siarmal (Ether Control Tower attic, behind a Fortitude + Superstrength Lv 2 check — Brams Driver).
- Rejoin Perun at the Artificial Blade Adjustment room and defeat the 3 Drivers — Vallent Driver (~Lv 50) with a Zohak and a Gardyll Driver (~Lv 48, per Neoseeker); Perun rejoins the party.
- Chase Dr. Castrofari to Bulge Harbor and defeat the 7 Lindwurm soldiers (3 Lindwurm Falcons, 2 Hinds, 1 Drake, 1 Cougar; ~Lv 48-51) to take him into custody.
Good to know
- The infamous gate is BEFORE the quest: Key Affinity Lv 2 needs any 3 "small good deeds" from a fixed list (e.g. pay Hirkham's 15G mooring fee in Chapter 1, give Olivio a Coral Nopon Chess Set, give Miney a Golden Cylinder, buy Nazya's Heart Cookies, throw 500G from Milama Viewpoint, have Mòrag lead step 2 of Judicium's Legacy, feed the Nopon Sage). Deeds done before awakening her still count; a pre-1.3.0 bug could permanently freeze this counter.
- The Genbu Port ambush only triggers at dawn — rest or change the in-game clock, or you will stand in an empty port wondering what is wrong.
- For the Old Factory finale Perun is OUT of your party and Skip Travel inside is disabled; at Bulge Harbor, getting knocked off the ledge is an automatic loss (Neoseeker), so fight away from the edge.
