How to Complete A Date With Destiny Quest in Palia
Receiving Tamala’s Challenge Letter
After unlocking the quest, you’ll receive mail from Tamala expressing that “things are heating up” between you in ways that have nothing to do with spice sprouts. She invites you to stop by her chateau if you want her to take things to the next level.
After unlocking the quest, go to Tamala and speak with her at her chateau to begin the first of three trials designed to test your worthiness as her romantic partner.
The First Test – Catching a Bat Ray
Now that you have gotten closer to Tamala, she has a few tasks she wishes you to complete to prove your feelings to her. She will tell you that the first test will be on perseverance and that you need to catch a Bat Ray.
To prove your love, Tamala has requested you procure her a hard-to-catch specimen – a rare fish that tests your determination and patience.
Players can find the Bat Ray fish inside the caves at any time of the day. Bat Rays can be fished in caves at any time whilst using a worm as bait.
Bat Ray locations include any cave or water body in Kilima Valley or Bahari Bay. Equip your fishing rod, attach worm bait to improve catch rates, cast into cave ponds consistently, remain patient as Bat Rays are uncommon catches, and collect the Bat Ray when you successfully catch one.
After catching the Bat Ray, return to Tamala and show her your successful catch. However, she’ll have an unexpected reaction to your hard-earned gift.
The Test of Resourcefulness – Catching a Leafstalker Mantis
Tamala now challenges you to demonstrate resourcefulness by catching one of the rarest mantises in the game – the elusive Leafstalker Mantis.
Both of these types are spawned in the northern areas of Bahari Bay, including the Flooded Steps, Proudhorn Pass, The Outskirts, the Thorny Thicket, and the Statue Garden. There is a chance of finding a Leafstalker Mantis by foraging for one.
Although it is rare, they can also occasionally be found on the ground anywhere Sweet Leaves and Dari Cloves are found. However, they can be difficult to spot among the leaves and grass due to their dark green color.
After catching a Leafstalker Mantis, go back to Tamala and speak to her. However, her reaction to this rare specimen might not be what you expect.
The Test of Bravery – Finding a Silverwing Egg
Tamala’s next test for you is procuring a silverwing egg, found only in nests at the greatest of heights. Is she trying to date you or kill you?
For the final task, Tamala will tell you to find and retrieve a Silverwing Egg. An area will then pop up on your map showing the general location where the Silverwing nest can be found in Proudhorn Pass.
You can find the Silverwing nest containing the Silverwing Egg on the side of the cliff facing the Statue Garden. The nest is in the marked area in Proudhorn Pass, specifically positioned on elevated cliffs requiring climbing abilities.
Finishing the Quest
After finding the Silverwing Egg, go back to Tamala and speak to her. Upon finding the Silverwing Egg, return to Tamala once again at her chateau.
Present the dangerous-to-obtain egg to Tamala, proving you’ve successfully completed all three trials of perseverance, resourcefulness, and bravery that she demanded.

- 20x Renown
