In this Final Fantasy XVI walkthrough, we'll explain the full path of the "The Dead of Night" quest from the Act I.

You'll receive a notification that Lady Charon's Toll and the Forge in Hideaway, have received new stock. It's not mandatory to return, but you'll get new weapons and equipment.

Step forward to join a Quentin, a man in an orange apron. He will give you a The Hanged Man seal. This object allows you to talk to anyone in Lostwing.

Now you'll need to talk to two locals to obtain information. You'll get their location on your map. One is to the northeast, in front of a stall. The second is to the south-west of the store.
