By
Shane Williams

The While the Cat’s Away side quest in Final Fantasy 16 can be acquired in "Martha's Rest" iconMartha’s Rest once you reach the Righting Wrongs main quest. Here you’ll find a person named the Inn Hand and she’ll request that you deal with the uninvited guests. We’ll take you through the necessary steps to completion and how to defeat the soldiers.

Speak with the Inn Hand at !Martha’s Rest to begin this quest.

A band of rowdy ne’er-do-wells are raising a ruckus at the tavern in Martha’s Rest and refuse to leave. Clive is enlisted to take out the rubbish.

How to Start the While the Cat’s Away Side Quest in Final Fantasy 16

First things first, you’ll need to have completed the main story mission The Meaning of Life, and be on Righting Wrongs. When those requirements have been met, head over to "Martha" iconMartha’s Rest and speak with the Inn Hand to begin this quest. Here you’ll learn that a bunch of bandits are causing mayhem at the stable since Martha has gone and she needs your help to put a stop to it.

How to Defeat the Uninvited Guests

Once you’re done talking to the Inn Hand, visit the nearby shop and stock up on "Potion" iconPotions as although you won’t need them for this quest they’ll come in handy in future side quests, so its alway best to be prepared. You’ll now have two option, explore the surrounding area for chests or head straight into The Golden Stable. Upon entering you’ll be greeted by two Uninvited Guests. These are two regular enemies which means their attacks will barely you flinch.
