Afterimage has many NPCs you can speak with and carry out Quests for, ultimately leading you to unique rewards that will give you a tremendous helping hand. Whether it's unlocking the ability to make Cooking Recipes or having immediate access to a Blacksmith, there's lots to see and do in the world of Engardin.
Resting Town is one of the first areas you will visit that has a wide range of Quests you can tackle, with some being a bit vague or directionless, which can be a tad frustrating if you don't know where to look. The good news is that you can complete most of these Quests relatively easily once you know where to go and what to do.
Mourning Quest Walkthrough
Upon your arrival in Resting Town, head eastward past the Confluence and continue in that direction, passing by Alice - the Conjurer in front of the large hut with a snail sign - until you reach an archway with a little girl on the other side of it.
How To Obtain Candles And Ritual Flowers
This is Nicole. Speak with her and select the "Ask about Candles and Ritual Flowers" option from the dialogue menu to receive Candles and Ritual Flowers. These will allow you to complete the Quest "Farewell," which we will cover in the section below.
While this is a short Quest, you can pass Nicole by or not select this dialogue option, which will make this and the Farewell Quest incompletable, so be sure to speak with her as soon as possible to receive the Candles and Ritual Flowers.
Farewell Quest Walkthrough
This Quest is technically started in the Rubiwood Desert zone after you defeat the Lush Wolf and obtain the Prism Bone of Aros, but you cannot complete it until you reach Resting Town and speak to Nicole.
Due to this being the only available Quest in the Rubiwood Desert (at least at first), we decided to include it here, considering you must make it to Resting Town to continue and complete it.
Resting Path Confluence Location
Regardless, after obtaining the Candles and Ritual Flowers from Nicole in Resting Town, you will have to travel to the Resting Path, located underneath Resting Town. When here, make your way to the Confluence near the zone's southeast.
When here, head to the area directly above the Confluence by jumping on the platform to the left of it, then following the steps up to the Resting Site. There will be enemies here, so dispatch them before placing the Candles and Ritual Flowers on the grave.
Doing this will conclude the Farewell Quest and unlock the Condolence Trophy/Achievement, leaving one last Quest for you to tackle in Resting Town!
Delicacy Quest Walkthrough
When you finally make it to Resting Town after taking down the formidable Three Question Mark Boss, you will see a handful of NPCs you can speak to, granting you access to new Quests and even Shops.
One of these NPCs is Alice, a Conjurer at the far east end of the Town standing in front of a hut with a giant snail sign. Speaking with Alice will begin the Delicacy Quest, which involves you tracking down two ingredients for her Mushroom Family Recipe.
These ingredients are the Mushroom Spore and the Medium Rare Mushroom, both of which are unobtainable until you reach the Field of Geo zone. Fortunately, that will be your next stop, so continue following the main pathway until you arrive there.
Finding The Ingredients
Once you reach the Field of Geo, you will want to navigate to the northmost section of the region before you encounter the Mushroom-type enemies that drop the ingredients you need. So, from the first Confluence, begin your ascension upward through the Field of Geo.
The enemies you are looking for are the Bouncing Fungus, Sporeling, and Sporeling Nest, which you can learn more about via the table below!

After you obtain at least one Mushroom Spore and a Medium Rare Mushroom, you can head back to Resting Town and speak to Alice. After giving her the ingredients she asked for, you will gain access to Conjurer Alice's.
Conjurer Alice's is where you will be able to bring Alice a variety of different ingredients, which she will then turn into Meals, allowing you to consume them for unique and potent buffs. First-time consumption of these Meals will grant you permanent buffs, so take advantage of this!
Food Buffs will also give you temporary Buffs, so try using them during Boss encounters or when traversing through the more formidable regions in the game. We suggest not consuming them the moment you get them, as you will be wasting excellent bonuses that will help you in battle.
