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:
- Completed Echoes of the Unknown quest
- Access to Kilima Village
- Available between 6 pm-12 am Palian time for the party
- Patience for Zeki’s ridiculous schemes
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:
- He’s usually around his usual spots during the day
- Talk to him to learn about the new temple discovery
- He’ll explain about needing the Flow battery from Eshe
- You’ll agree to help with his party scheme
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:
- Must be between 6 pm-12 am Palian time
- Check your in-game clock before heading over
- If you miss the window, you’ll have to wait until the next day
- The party location will be marked on your map
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:
- Look for Eshe among the other party guests
- She’ll be mingling with everyone, celebrating her anniversary
- Don’t approach her directly yet – you need to plan your distraction first
- Take note of where she is and what she’s doing
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:
- Start a conversation with Eshe about the party or her anniversary
- Keep her engaged – don’t let the conversation end too quickly
- Ask about party details or compliment the celebration
- Watch for Zeki’s signal that he’s finished his part
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:
- Zeki gets the master key without being caught
- You’ll receive the Flow battery needed for the temple
- The quest concludes successfully
- New temple content becomes available
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.

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.
