The Missing Girl Quest Walkthrough
"The Missing Girl" quest can be started after you have progressed the storyline enough to have saved the King of Facade (after the events at the Barren Temple) and then left Facade and returned again.
- Speak to the NPC marked on the map below with a speech bubble to begin the quest.
- You will be tasked with speaking to various NPCs to discover what happened to the missing girl.

- Jump down the lowest level of Facade and investigate the area marked with the red splatter on the map above to find a blood splatter.
- After interacting with the blood splatter, turn around and head over to the Treasury Guard who now has a speech bubble above his head.
- He will tell you that the girl's boyfriend is a guard at the entrance gate.
- Head to the entrance gate of Facade and speak to the guard on the right.
