How to start Monster in the Night – FEFW

The Monster in the Night quest will become available starting from Chapter 5. You’ll be able to pick it up from a civilian in Dagsion in the City Streets area, on the upper level behind the Merchant Vendor.

The “trick” to this quest is that you can only undertake it at night. As a reminder, there are three turns in a single day, moving through morning, evening, and night.

If you want to undertake this quest and it’s currently the wrong time of day, you should go to the Inn and automate activities for one or two turns to pass time until night.

Once it’s night, head to the Easternmost point from the Arena Level. Walk past the Inn on this level and turn right at the end of the street to find a side street. This is where the monstrous phantom will appear, but it will only be available to fight at night and while the Monster in the Night quest is underway.
