As the final moments of the Secret Depths quest start to wrap up, a strange yet ominous event occurs at the Night Sky Temple. A pink-colored object crashed at this temple, for which they can only start inquiring once the Vault of the Roots quest has been completed to get the Strange Things Afoot quest.

As of writing, this quest has remained stalled for the time being, but for those interested or who have yet to begin this quest, we have provided all the details we recommend bookmarking this page. Nevertheless, we have explained how they can progress through the Strange Things Afoot quest, including the quest objectives in Palia.

They must speak with Jina and Subira regarding the strange object at the center of the temple before waiting to progress with the quest. Let's look at the objectives they can follow which will guide them in completing the Strange Things Afoot quest in Palia:

  • Talk to Jina at the ruins near Hekla's tent
  • Wait to hear from the Order
  • Wait for the story to be continued...
  • Talk to Jina at the ruins near Hekla's tent

How To Complete The Strange Things Afoot Quest In Palia?

Immediately after the Vault of the Roots quest is completed, the following quest in this temple questline will become available for them to complete. Once the Strange Things Afoot quest begins, they'll still be inside the Night Sky Temple, where they can chat with Jina regarding the strange object that crashed into the temple.

While Jina had witnessed the crash at the Night Sky Temple, she could not explain where it came from, but she revealed that Subira had seen this happen, too. She states that she has to inform Subira of the details surrounding this event before informing them to wait for her to contact them after that.

After some time, Subira will visit their Housing Plot to confirm that she spoke to Jina regarding the event at the Night Sky Temple. Noting that they've had experiences investigating the temples thus far, she proposes that they work together to continue investigations into this strange object, which they can agree to.

This is where the quest becomes dormant, as they'll have to wait for this quest and story to continue, and many players have begun speculating about when the story could start again. Nevertheless, we'll update this guide when the quest continues in Palia and add new quest objectives and rewards for its completion.

Note: The Strange Things Afoot quest has been updated in the v0.186 update, and Palians can proceed to continue the quest with new objectives added.

Following the v0.186 update, Palians will receive a new quest objective to speak with Jina at the ruins near Hekla's tent, and while many assumed to be the Ancient Library at Mirror Pond Ruins, it's the Night Sky Temple where the quest abruptly ended. Head inside to speak with Jina, relaying the same dialogue that they'll need to talk to Subira, which finally completes the Strange Things Afoot quest, where they can return to their Housing Plot to begin the next quest.
