Scraps of Mystery XI

You’re now done messing around with side quests in the south, time now to turn your attention to The Vesperpool. Instead of going up the western highway again, drive north from Lestallum, your destination being the Meldacio Hunter HQ, where there’s plenty of shopping to do and a few quests to pick up. Before you get there, however, there’s something to pick up along the way. As you drive up the road running between Lestallum and the Meldacio Hunter HQ you’ll pass by the Alpine Stable Parking Spot. Park here and look north-west to spot some ruins on a hill across the street. Head into the ruins and search around on the floor to find Mystery Map XI , the acquisition of which starts “Scraps of Mystery XI”

Search some ruins near Apline Stable Parking Spot to find Mystery Map XI (left) at the marked location on the map (right).

Meldacio Meal Steal

Grab the map, return to the Regalia, then continue on to the north until you reach the Meldacio Hunter HQ. Starting from the east and working your way west you’ll first come across Parvinath General Store. Before bothering with commerce, however, check out a female hunter who is eating outside to learn the “Horntooth Meat Pie” recipe.

Parvinath General Store

When you’re done ogling other people’s food, head into Parvinath General Store. Aside from a large selection of restorative items and ingredients, this store sells over-priced cosmetic items for the Regalia and Iron Shelf Recipes, Vol. 7, which will teach Ignis the “Roc of Ravatogh Rice” recipe.

Portuttle Hut Restaurant

Continue west to find Portuttle Hut Restaurant where, naturally, you can gather intel on the Vesperpool - handy, considering you’re about to explore it. He also has three meals that he’ll sell, which in itself isn’t anything special, but the fact that all three of them will inspire Ignis to invent new recipes is. Buy the Meat & Onion Skewers (2,000 Gil) to learn the “Hunter’s Krazy Kebabs” recipe, the Mama Ezma’s Meat Pie (1,500 Gil) will earn you the “Meldacio Meat Pie” recipe and ordering up the Hunter’s Ragout meal (3,00 Gil) will prompt Ignis to jot down the “King’s Stew” recipe. All of these meals offer up pretty good combat buffs, well-suited for mid-level hunts. Speaking of which… as a hunter’s outpost, it only makes sense that this restaurant will offer up a hefty helping of hunts.

Culless Munitions - Hunter HQ

Next, head north across the street to find the Hunter HQ branch of Culless Munitions, which sells a variety of powerful (and expensive!) new weapons. Some of them are marginal improvements over the upgraded weapons you can trade Caem Carrots for, but not so much that you should feel pressured to buy them if they’re outside of your price range.

More Quests From Dave and Sania

When you’re done shopping, continue west but keep your eye to the north, as you’ll spot the paragon of hunters - Dave - on a porch overseeing his domain. Talk to him and Dave almighty will bestow upon you another dog tag quest - “Mountains of Misfortune”. All hail Dave! Further west you’ll find everybody’s favorite… well… Sania. Talk to her and impose another fetch quest on you, the object this time being to hunt down some Myrlwood Fireflies. She doesn’t have the poise and eloquence of Dave, but since her request is in a place you’ll be exploring anyways, you might as well consider her demand. This starts the quest “The Professor’s Protégé - Myrlwood Firefly”.

At the Meldacio Hunter HQ you’ll be able to pick up new quests from both Dave (left) and Sania (right).

Mystery Map XII

Return to the house Dave is standing on the porch of (if you haven’t been keeping up with Dave’s side quests, it’s the flower-adorned house with the “Aurolith Labs” sign on the front, the second building west from the Culless Munitions - Hunter HQ store) and circle around its western side to reach the back of the building. Here you’ll find a yellow bucket near some drums. Inside of the bucket you’ll find Mystery Map XII , which will start the quest “Scraps of Mystery XII” once read.

Search a yellow bin behind a house to find Mystery Map XII (left) at the marked location on the map (right).

After a years-long cold war between the Kingdom of Lucis and the empire of Niflheim over the world’s last crystal, an armistice is finally agreed upon. As part of the peace treaty, the heir to the Lucian throne Noctis Lucis Caelum is to marry Lady Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, an oracle from the imperial province of Tenebrae. After Noctis sets out to meet his betrothed, the treaty collapses. Merely a ruse to bring down the magical barrier protecting Lucis, Niflheim invades and takes the kingdom and the crystal for itself. With the treaty in tatters and his father and betrothed believed dead, Noctis must rely on his own tenacity and the support of his band of loyal followers to get him through what is to come.
