As an Archeologist, Jina spends most of her time investigating the ruins in Kilima Village and Bahari Bay and researching at the village library.

Jina may possess an incredible wealth of knowledge she's eager to share with players; however, her social needs still need to be improved. This information is presented to players by her guardian, Hekla, who requires their assistance to spend time with her.

For this Discovery quest, A Special Play Date, Hekla tasks players in making conversations with Jina, hoping she'll become comfortable in social settings. Below, we've detailed the objectives that they can follow and complete to be the best playmate for Jina:

  • Make small talk with Jina
    • Return to Hekla

How To Complete The A Special Play Date Discovery Quest In Palia?

This Discovery quest can be accepted by Hekla while conversing with her at any one of her known locations: near the ruins at Mirror Fields, at the Night Sky Temple, or at the library. While speaking to her, she stated that "social interactions" are critical in developing healthy, balanced emotions, and she requested a play date with her Jina.

Players can track down Jina at the locations previously mentioned, for which they have a choice: go along with Hekla's request or confess to Jina why they're talking to her. Should they follow Hekla's instructions by inquiring about the weather and books, Jina will thank them for checking up on her and that it made her day.

However, if they told Jina the truth as to why they were visiting her, she'd become upset at Hekla's fascination with setting up a play date with her. Feeling somewhat embarrassed regarding the situation, she expresses her appreciation for being honest with her, and they can return to Hekla.

Depending on the option they chose when speaking to Jina, Hekla will respond by either thanking them or stating that they weren't an ideal playmate for Jina. This will conclude the  A Special Play Date Discovery quest as players can be awarded 15 Renown and five Grilled Mushrooms and improve their Friendship level with Hekla.
