How To Complete A Catalyzing Caper Quest In Palia?

The follow-up quest to Plumehound Pilgrimage will see players finally heading off to the Temple of the Flames near the Flooded Fortress in Bahari Bay. Before stepping foot into the temple, you will speak with Hassian and then solve the puzzle which unlocks the door to the temple, and you can begin your investigations once inside.

We advise heading anti-clockwise upon entering the temple and heading up the stairs on the right side, where you'll discover an ominous-looking door. Enter the chamber where you'll find the fire bowl, which requires Sifuu's Torch to light, a statue with an inscription, and the mural with a Kitsuu and a figure resembling Einar and Hekla.

After speaking with Sifuu, with whom you'll receive her torch, head back to the fire bowl and light the torch before lighting the brazier to enter the second chamber. Inside this chamber is a maze that needs to be solved; we recommend standing atop the stairs to view the maze pattern before completing it.

There is an Ancient Tome, a treasure chest, and another fire bowl to find, which you'll need to light Sifuu's torch again. After reaching the opposite side, climb up the platforms to find another mural-craved door and a brazier to its left that needs to be lit.

Once inside, you'll find another maze with another Ancient Tome, a treasure chest, and a fire bowl that you'll need to light Sifuu's Torch again. Find your way to reach the top of the chamber using the platforms provided, starting from the right side, and interact with the mural before lighting the brazier to enter the next chamber.

You will enter a lava-filled chamber where you must be careful of your movement; you must go from right to left, using the platforms and your glider to get across. When on the other side of the chamber, take the platform going up, where you'll find another fire bowl to light Sifuu's torch before lighting the final brazier in the center of the room beside another Ancient Tome.

After viewing the mural here, return to Hassian by backtracking to exit the chamber before meeting him in the temple's foyer outside the final chamber's door. Here, you need to solve yet another puzzle to unlock the door, and you can head inside with Hassian in tow.

Inside, you can find another statue, which you'll need to cross over the lava below to get to the other side to meet up with Tau. After greeting Tau, you can move on to solve the Kitsuu-themed puzzle, which, once completed, triggers a cutscene inside the Night Sky Temple, and you can speak with Hassian to report on your investigations.

This completes the A Catalyzing Caper quest, where you can receive Renown and improve your Friendship with Hassian and Tau. Additionally, players can begin completing the four new bundles available at the Night Sky temple, unlocking the Ancient Rock Garden furnishing item.
