So, what is this mysterious object that Nai'o gifted us at the end of The Elderwood quest?

Nai'o possesses a strange object that he knows nothing about, which was revealed in the closing moments of The Elderwood quest. In these moments, he decided to give Palians this mysterious object, as they know what to do with it, and this begins a new side quest, Pieces of the Past, where they must investigate what this object is.

They will need to consult with a Villager who may know more about this object, which will lead Palians to better understand the new Artifact and Relic system in-game. We delve a little deeper into this new in-game system through the Pieces of the Past quest by highlighting the objectives and providing a walkthrough to help Palians with this quest in Palia.

Palia Pieces Of The Past Quest Objectives List

With the object in our backpack, it's time to figure out who in Kilima Village or Bahari Bay may know more about it. If they head into Kilima Village, they will find three Villagers who may have some information that they can go around town inquiring about this mysterious object.

Based on the item description for this object, the Umbraan Thing, it's stated that its usage is "unclear to anyone" except for an Umbraan, for which not many Umbraans exist, and it's revealed to be an Artifact! Below we have listed the quest objectives to help complete this new side quest and learn more about Artifacts along the way:

  • Ask around about the Artifact you found
  • Meet the expert by the Elderwood Central Stables
  • Complete an artifact set by donating items
  • Inspect the Relic Store (1/1)

How To Complete The Pieces Of The Past Quest In Palia?

This quest immediately starts after completing The Elderwood quest, in which Nai'o finds a mysterious little trinket in the new area, prompting Palians to find someone more knowledgeable. This leads them back to Kilima Village, where they have to ask three Villagers, namely Caleri, Elouisa, and Jina, if they know anything about the object.

While Caleri and Jina offer little information, Elouisa, as denoted by a section on Artifacts and Relics in the v0.191 patch notes, has an idea about the object in their possession. Her ramblings may not make sense at first, so she requests to meet with them at the Elderwoods Central Stables for further discussion.

They can meet the sisters at an area to the left of the Stable board, where they can speak with Elouisa with a quest marker above her, and begin conversing with her. Elouisa explains that they have set up a station near the Stable where they can donate various items to complete an Artifact set, which consists of three tables, with the middle one being what they must interact with to contribute the Umbraan Thing to complete the set.

Next is to visit the Relic Store, which has an item resembling a dreamcatcher hanging above the store, where just interacting with the store completes the Pieces of the Past quest. There is another quest to pick up from Elouisa, who can be found near the Artifact station by the Elderwood Stables, which advances this side questline relating to Artifacts and Relics in Palia.
