Favors (1)

By
Jarrod Garripoli

Favors are similar to Requests, in that, they are mini sidequests that usually have you either defeating specific Yokai and procuring certain items. Unlike Requests, though, Favors are repeatable and some of them actually have a random objective chosen from a list of set ones. They are shown on the map as orange flags, as well as orange bubbles above people’s heads, and will unlock as you progress in the main story. If you’re running low on cash, Favors are good to do, as they will reward you money and/or experience for your Yokai.

  • Location - By the pond near shrine at Mt. Wildwood (Day)
  • Reward - 300 XP
    The girl wants you to bring her back some fish, with there being four different possibilities. The only problem with this Favor is that you won’t get a fishing rod until Chapter 5, so you will have to wait until then to go fishing for her order. Carp (needs two) can be found in rivers, Black Bass (needs two) can be found in lakes, and Catfish (needs two) can be found in either of the two previously mentioned areas. The Snakehead , should be want one, is a rare fish that can be gotten from rivers.
