The 27 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Daimya Hikomi

   Dialogue[22,-29] · Daimya Hikomi

   The quest starts right after the previous one, when you tell Daimya Hikomi that you have the Water Claw. She suggests you go in search of the Fire Claw.

   Dialogue

   1. “Say that you can't wait to leave for Feudala”

   

2. 2Listen to the Daimya

   Dialogue

   The Fire Spirit is the most unpredictable and most narcissistic of them all. To win its favor, the lantern order holds the lantern festival in its honor, but the Firefoux sabotage the preparations. The spirit only shows itself during this festival: it is your only chance to get its claw.

3. 3Talk to the Feudala Guard

   Dialogue[18,-30] · Feudala Guard

   The Feudala Guard confirms that the Firefoux have sabotaged all the preparations. She sends you to see Ozulan, the monk of the lantern order, but according to tradition you must first make your own lantern: she gives you the rice paper, you still need to find ink and wood.

   Make sure your lantern does not go out: that would mean the Fire Spirit wants you to leave Feudala.

    Dialogue[18,-34] · Pandako Shazaki
