Palia Underground Affairs quest requires you to meet Zeki in the Underground Market, which is accessible through the General Store. Then you need to get some spy work done on Zeki after completing some tasks, and finally return to Subira to finish the quest.  You might have received the quest and you are not sure about the next steps, or you might have found the entrance, but can’t figure out how to convince Zeki. Well, you are not the only one who is facing these issues. I was too trapped in it. Underground Affairs is like various other quests in Palia, such as Silver Winging It & Proof of Magic. This whole underground business feels like a fever dream the first time you attempt it. Zeki mentions his “underground affairs” but conveniently forgets to mention that his market is hidden behind a wall that looks exactly like every other wall in the mines. Backstory of the Quest: Underground Affairs in Palia Subira from The Order has assigned you to investigate Zeki’s underground operations and gather evidence of his illegal activities. What starts as simple surveillance quickly becomes you getting recruited into his black market network. The quest involves proving your worth to Zeki by obtaining an illegal Enchancing Draught from Tamala, delivering it without getting caught by Eshe, and ultimately gaining access to the underground trading network that operates beneath Kilima Village. This quest connects directly to multiple other storylines, including the One Step Behind quest about tracking Tamala, and sets up the Search and Seizure subplot if things go wrong with Eshe. Prerequisites for Underground Affairs These are the kind of requirements for this quest; without these, you won’t get the quest. So make sure that you have achieved each one of these: How to Complete the Palia Underground Affairs Quest So, the quest begins when you receive a letter from Subira. As soon as you read the letter, the quest will be added to your journal. Once you have got it, here are the next steps: Receive Orders from Subira The quest begins when Subira assigns you to investigate Zeki’s suspicious activities and gather evidence of underground trading. Once you have the quest, talk to Subira about The Order’s concerns regarding illegal activities. Receive instructions to investigate underground operations. Understand the mission – gather evidence without arousing suspicion. Prepare for undercover work in Zeki’s network Subira’s quite serious about this investigation, which tells you just how significant Zeki’s operations have become. Meet Zeki in the Underground Market The Underground Market can be accessed through the back of the General Store counter. Once you’ve accessed the underground area, you need to locate Zeki and convince him to let you join his operation. Find Zeki among the various underground vendors and stalls. He’ll be suspicious of your presence initially. Convince him you’re interested in joining his network. Regardless of dialogue choices, Zeki will test your commitment. The underground market is quite extensive, with multiple vendors and trading areas that show the scope of Zeki’s operation. Get Assignment to Retrieve Tamala’s Potion Zeki will ask you to prove your worth by obtaining a special potion from Tamala as your initiation task. Zeki’s test: This is where the quest gets properly dangerous – you’re now actively participating in illegal activities. Gather Ingredients for the Enchancing Draught Before Tamala can brew the potion, you need to collect four specific ingredients scattered around Palia. Required ingredients: Ingredient gathering tips: This ingredient collection phase can take quite a while, especially if you’re not prepared with the right tools and knowledge of spawn locations. Visit Tamala for Potion Brewing Once you’ve gathered all four ingredients, head to Tamala to have her brew the illegal Enchancing Draught. Find her at the stables or her usual locations. Present all four ingredients for the potion, and she’ll brew the Enchancing Draught using your materials. Receive the completed potion. Now you’re carrying illegal goods. Tamala’s quite casual about brewing illegal potions, which gives you insight into how widespread these underground activities actually are. Deliver the Potion to Zeki (Avoiding Eshe) This is the most nerve-wracking part of the entire quest. You must deliver the illegal potion to Zeki without getting caught by Eshe. Do not talk to Eshe while carrying the Enchancing Draught. Avoid areas where Eshe commonly patrols and head directly to the underground market entrance. If caught by Eshe, it triggers the Search and Seizure subquest. Speaking to Eshe at any point while carrying the Enchancing Draught will cause her to confiscate it, and the subquest Search and Seizure will begin. After successfully delivering the potion to Zeki, you’ll gain full access to his underground trading network. Market integration: Report Back to Subira The final step involves returning to Subira with evidence of Zeki’s underground operations. Find Subira to report your findings. Provide evidence gathered during your undercover work. Complete the investigation successfully and receive rewards for your undercover work. What Underground Affairs Unlocks Completing this quest gives you permanent access to Zeki’s black market network, which connects to several other quest lines involving Reth, smuggling operations, and underground commerce. You’ll also unlock new vendors and trading opportunities that aren’t available through regular Kilima Village merchants. FAQs Where exactly is the underground market entrance?  You can get access to it from multiple locations, one of them is hidden behind the general store counter. There is a back entrance that takes you to the underground black market. What friendship level do I need with Zeki?  You need decent friendship progress and completion of relevant main story quests first. Can I bring friends to the underground market?  The quest itself is solo, but friends might be able to help you find the entrance location. Final Thoughts Palia Underground Affairs quest is way more complex than it first appears, involving illegal potion brewing, undercover investigation work, and serious consequences if you mess up the delivery. The ingredient collection for Tamala’s potion, avoiding Eshe during delivery, proving yourself to Zeki – … Read more

The Fit for a Watcher Palia quest is quite a simple quest, but it took so much of my time because I didn’t know that I needed specific materials. And these aren’t exactly common, and the most interesting part is that furniture plans hide in the weirdest spot in your crafting menu. I know you are thinking about how to unlock the quest in the first place. Or you might be unable to find the furniture plans Tish gives you. Don’t worry, because these are the same issues that everyone else is facing in this quest. This quest is actually all about impressing a Watcher from The Order who’s coming to investigate, and Eshe wants everything perfect, which means loads of crafting and material gathering for you. The Back Story of the Fit for a Watcher Quest in Paia The Order is sending a Watcher called Subira to investigate the strange happenings around Kilima – mainly the sudden reappearance of humans like yourself. She’ll be staying at the inn, and Eshe wants to make sure everything’s absolutely perfect for her visit. Your job is to help Tish design and craft some special furniture that’ll impress the Watcher and show Kilima in the best possible light. No pressure, right? Eshe’s basically having a complete meltdown about making a good impression, so you’re stuck doing the actual work while she panics about protocol. What You Need Before Starting the Fit for a Watcher Quest There are some requirements to get this quest; here’s all of it: How to Complete Fit for a Watcher Palia Quest? The solution involves some steps that everyone has to go through. Follow each step carefully, and you will solve the quest in no time.  Talk to Eshe to Start the Quest First, you need to find Eshe and get the quest started. She might be at City Hall or wandering around the village, depending on the time of day. Finding Eshe: She’ll explain about Subira coming to investigate and how important it is that everything goes perfectly. Typical Eshe, really. Meet with Tish About the Furniture After getting the quest from Eshe, you need to find Tish to discuss the furniture requirements for the Watcher’s room at the inn. Working with Tish: Find Tish at her usual crafting spots, and she’ll explain what furniture pieces need to be made. You’ll get plans for four specific items: Here’s the annoying bit – these plans don’t show up under the Furniture tab in your crafting menu like you’d expect. You have to scroll down to find them in the main list under “I” for “Investigator.” Took me ages to figure that out. Gather Materials for the Furniture Now comes the proper grind. You’ll need quite a lot of materials to craft all four furniture pieces for the Watcher. Materials you’ll need: Top tips for material gathering: The material requirements are quite hefty, so don’t expect to knock this out quickly unless you’ve been stockpiling. Craft All Four Furniture Pieces Once you’ve gathered everything, head to your crafting station and start making the furniture. Remember, the plans are hiding in the main list, not under Furniture. When you are crafting the furniture, make them one at a time – don’t rush and waste materials. Double-check requirements before starting each piece. Have backup materials ready in case you need extra. Place completed pieces in your storage until you’re done. The crafting process is straightforward once you find the plans, but it does take time and quite a few materials. Return to Tish to Complete the Quest After crafting all four furniture pieces, head back to Tish to finish up the quest. Quest completion: The rewards are pretty good for the amount of work involved, and you’ll unlock the next quest in the chain. What Happens After Fit for a Watcher Quest? Completing this quest unlocks Your Order is Served, which continues the storyline with Subira the Watcher. You’ll get to meet her properly and see how your furniture choices worked out. This quest chain is important for the main story progression and introduces some key characters who become significant later on. FAQs How do I unlock this quest?  Complete Eshe’s citizenship quests first, including Prove Your Worth. You need her trust before she’ll give you this quest. Where are the furniture plans in my crafting menu?  They’re in the main list under “I” for Investigator, not under the Furniture tab like you’d expect. How much Flow Wood and Palium do I actually need?  Quite a lot – plan on spending significant time gathering materials. Check each recipe for exact amounts. Can I craft the furniture at any workbench?  You need the proper furniture crafting station. Make sure you’re using the right workbench type. What if Eshe won’t give me the quest?  Make sure you’ve completed all her prerequisite quests. The citizenship quest chain is essential. Final Thoughts Fit for a Watcher Palia quest is basically a massive crafting project disguised as a story quest. Once you know where to find those sneaky furniture plans and you’ve stockpiled enough materials, it’s straightforward enough. The key points: earn Eshe’s trust first, find Tish for the furniture plans, gather loads of Flow Wood and Palium, craft four pieces of fancy furniture, then return to Tish for your rewards. It’s worth completing because it continues the main storyline and introduces Subira, who becomes important later. Plus, the rewards are decent for a crafting quest. It’s not hard to finish off the Fit for a Watcher Palia quest. All you need to do is prepare and know where those furniture plans are hiding in your crafting menu.

The Palia Look to the Sky quest was not a simple quest for me, because Zeki’s timing requirements are absolutely mental, and nobody explains the party mechanics properly. You might also be facing the same things, like trying to figure out when exactly to talk to Zeki, right? Or might have made it to the part, but can’t work out how to distract Eshe without making a complete hash of it. If that’s the case, then you are not alone. This quest involves sneaking about at a party and “borrowing” Eshe’s master key, which sounds straightforward but has more moving parts than you’d think. Let me walk you through it properly. What’s The Real Story Behind Look to the Sky Quest? This is a main story quest that comes after you’ve completed Echoes of the Unknown. Basically, there’s a new temple that’s been discovered, and you need a Flow battery from Zeki to get inside the first door. Problem is, Eshe’s got the Flow battery locked up tight at City Hall. So Zeki’s brilliant plan is to wait for her anniversary party and “liberate” the master key while she’s distracted. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, doesn’t it? That’s because it pretty much is. Things You Need Before Starting the Look to the Sky Quest Here’s what must be done before you pick the quest: How to Actually Complete Palia Look to the Sky Quest? So, I’ve fully explained the quest solution here in a step-by-step process. Let’s jump in: Talk to Zeki About the Plan First things first – you need to chat with Zeki about this whole temple situation and his master plan for getting the Flow battery. Finding Zeki: The conversation sets up the whole quest, so don’t skip through it too quickly or you’ll miss important details about what you’re supposed to do at the party. Wait for Party Time (6 pm-12 am) This is the bit that trips most people up. You can’t just rock up to the party whenever you fancy – there’s a specific time window. Party timing: I spent ages wondering why nothing was happening before I realised I was trying to attend at the wrong time. The game doesn’t make this timing requirement obvious enough. Get to the Party and Find Eshe Once you’re in the right time window, talk to Zeki again, and he’ll take you to the anniversary party. At the party: The party atmosphere is quite nice, actually, but remember you’re there on a mission, not just to socialise. Distract Eshe So Zeki Can Work This is the trickiest part of the quest. You need to keep Eshe busy while Zeki does his sneaky business with the master key. Distraction tactics: The key is to seem natural about it. Don’t act suspiciously, or Eshe might catch on to what’s happening. Just be a friendly party guest who wants to chat. Complete the Mission After successfully distracting Eshe, Zeki should have what he needs. The quest will progress, and you’ll be able to move on to accessing the new temple with the Flow battery. Mission complete: What Happens After Completing the Quest, Look to the Sky. Completing this quest opens up the new temple area and continues the main storyline. You’ll be able to use the Flow battery to access previously locked areas and discover more about Palia’s mysteries. This quest also leads into Silver-winging It, which involves the Temple of the Gales, so it’s an important stepping stone in the main story progression. FAQs What time does the party actually start?  The party is available between 6 pm-12 am Palian time. You must talk to Zeki during this window to attend. What if I mess up distracting Eshe?  The quest should give you another opportunity. If not, you might need to wait until the next party window. Where exactly is this new temple?  The temple location will be revealed after completing the quest successfully. It’s part of the ongoing main story. Can I complete this quest during the day?  No, the party only happens in the evening/night timeframe. You’ll need to wait for the right time. Final Thoughts The Palia Look to the Sky quest is all about timing and playing your part in Zeki’s heist scheme. Once you know about the party timing requirements and how to properly distract Eshe, it’s actually quite entertaining. The 6 pm-12 am time window for the party, keeping Eshe distracted while Zeki works, and then gaining access to the new temple – that’s your complete roadmap. It’s a fun change of pace from the usual fetch quests, and the party atmosphere is well done. Plus, it sets up some interesting temple exploration content for later. To complete the Palia Look to the Sky quest successfully, you must show up at the right time and play your role as a distraction convincingly.

The Palia Brick by Brick quest had me scratching my head because nobody bothered explaining where to actually find Hodari to get the Stone Smelter recipe. And you are definitely having the same issue, right? Or maybe you’ve got the Stone Smelter but can’t figure out how to use the thing properly. This quest seems simple enough, but there are a few things that’ll trip you up if you don’t know what you’re doing. Let me save you the headache I went through. What’s Brick by Brick Quest Actually All About? This is one of your first proper crafting quests in Palia, and it’s all about getting you set up with stone brick production. You’ll need stone bricks for loads of building projects later, so it’s worth getting this sorted early. The quest basically wants you to learn how to make stone bricks using a Stone Smelter. Sounds straightforward, but the game doesn’t hold your hand through the process. I thought it’d be a five-minute task, but it took me nearly an hour because I couldn’t find Hodari initially. What You Need Before Starting the Brick by Brick Quest Make sure that you have all of the below listed stuff: How to Actually Complete Palia Brick by Brick Quest? Here’s exactly what you need to do to complete the quest: Find Hodari to Get the Stone Smelter Recipe This is where most people get stuck initially. Hodari’s the mining specialist, but finding him can be a real pain if you don’t know his routine. Where to find Hodari: Talk to him once you hit Mining Level 2, and he’ll give you the Stone Smelter recipe. Simple enough, but getting to Level 2 mining takes a bit of grinding if you haven’t been at it already. Craft and Place Your Stone Smelter Once you’ve got the recipe from Hodari, you need to actually make the Stone Smelter and stick it on your plot. Crafting requirements: The placement bit is important – some people craft it, then forget to put it down. The quest won’t progress until it’s properly placed on your plot. Craft Your First Stone Brick Now comes the fun part – actually using your shiny new Stone Smelter to make a brick. Stone brick crafting: The Stone Smelter works like most processing machines in Palia – input goes in one slot, finished product comes out of another. Dead simple once you know how it works. What Happens After Brick by Brick? Completing this quest opens up stone brick production, which you’ll need for various building projects throughout the game. It’s also a prerequisite for several other quests, including the Happy Housewarming quest chain. The stone bricks you can make are useful for upgrading your house and crafting other items. It’s worth keeping your Stone Smelter running regularly. FAQs What Mining Level do I need for Brick by Brick?  Mining Level 2. You can’t get the Stone Smelter recipe from Hodari until you reach this level. Where exactly is Hodari located?  He moves around, but check the mines in Kilima Valley first. If he’s not there, try the village centre or other mining areas. Can I craft stone bricks without completing this quest?  No, you need the recipe from Hodari first. The quest is essential for unlocking stone brick crafting. How long does it take to make a stone brick?  Just a few seconds in the Stone Smelter. It’s not a long process once you’ve got everything set up. Final Thoughts The Palia Brick by Brick quest isn’t actually complicated once you know what you’re doing. The main challenge is just finding Hodari initially and remembering to place your Stone Smelter on your plot. Get your Mining Level to 2, find Hodari for the recipe, craft and place your Stone Smelter, then make a brick. It’s worth completing early because stone bricks are useful for loads of building projects later in the game. Plus, it sets you up nicely for the other housing and crafting quests that follow. You must remember that Palia Brick by Brick quest success comes down to having the right mining level and knowing where to find Hodari when you need him.

The Palia Come Clean has been quite a challenging quest for me. I was searching Bahari Bay for three hours because Reth can’t give decent directions to save his life. You’re probably here because you’re stuck, too, right? Maybe you’ve been running around in circles trying to figure out where he’s hidden his dodgy packages. This quest doesn’t explain itself properly, and the cave location is absolutely mental to find without help. But I’ve cracked it now, so let’s get you sorted. What’s This Come Clean Quest About? Reth’s finally decided to stop being a sneaky git about his smuggling operation. About time, really. When you hit Romance Level 3 with him, you get this choice where you can either help him come clean to Ashura or help him cover his tracks. Pick “I really think you should tell Ashura the truth,” and you’re doing Come Clean. The other option gets you Cover It Up instead. I went with Come Clean because watching Reth squirm felt right. Plus, someone needed to talk sense into the lad. What You Need Before Starting the Come Clean Quest You will need to work on these things before you can get the quest: How to Actually Complete Palia Come Clean Quest? Here’s exactly what you need to do without all the faff. Find the Hidden Cave in Bahari Bay This is where everyone gets stuck. Reth mentions packages hidden in Bahari but gives you sod all for actual directions. The secret location: I walked past this entrance about twenty times before I spotted it. The game designers must’ve had a right laugh making it this hidden. Collecting Reth’s Packages Once you’re in, you need three packages scattered around. They’re not exactly gift-wrapped and waiting for you either. Package hunting tips: The packages blend in with the cave debris, which is properly annoying. Take your time and check every nook. Return the Packages After collecting all three packages, head back and follow the quest markers. You’ll get to watch Reth finally tell Ashura the truth about his side hustle. It’s actually quite satisfying seeing him grow up a bit. Plus, you get decent rewards for your trouble. Cover It Up vs Come Clean – What’s the Difference? If you picked “I’ll help you move the merchandise” instead, you get Cover It Up. Same package collecting, different story outcome. Come Clean: Reth tells Ashura the truth, character development happens. Cover It Up: You help Reth stay sneaky, different relationship path Both quests work fine. Pick whatever feels right for your character. FAQs Can I change my mind after picking a dialogue option?  Nope, you’re locked in once you choose. Finish the quest to progress Reth’s storyline. What if I genuinely cannot find the cave entrance?  Go to the ruins exactly halfway between Hideaway Bluffs and Windy Ruins. The entrance is in the cliff face – looks like an old mine shaft. How long does the Come Clean quest actually take?  Maybe 15-20 minutes once you know where everything is. Finding the location initially is what takes forever. Do I need special tools or items?  Nope, just your character and maybe better screen brightness. No crafting required. FInal Thoughts Look, the Palia Come Clean quest isn’t actually hard once you know the cave location. It’s just that the game gives you alternate directions and expects you to figure it out yourself. The cave entrance between Hideaway Bluffs and Windy Ruins – that’s your golden ticket. Find that, grab three packages, and watch Reth finally act like an adult. Job done. It’s worth doing if you’re invested in Reth’s character. Watching him come clean to Ashura feels like proper character development instead of him staying the same sneaky smuggler forever. Just remember that Palia Come Clean quest success comes down to patience and knowing exactly where that cave is hidden.
