Alright, full disclosure: when I first picked up Meeting a Friend in the Field in Throne and Liberty, I assumed it would be a quick little 'fetch my lost buddy' errand. Spoiler alert—it morphs into a multi-stop scavenger hunt across Urstella Fields, a tower brawl, and an unexpected cameo from a magical tailor. The good news? It is still pretty painless once you know the route, and as of 2026 this Codex entry remains a solid way to squeeze extra rewards and lore out of Solisium. You unlock it after finishing Ashien's Strange Painting in the Adventure category, so make sure that box is ticked before you go barking up this tree.
In a nutshell, the quest asks you to chase down six objectives. Here is the cheat-sheet version:
| # | Objective | Panic level |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Find the Powerless Little Doll in the Wrecked Carriage | Chill |
| 2 | Talk to Ashien at Starlight Observatory Ruins | Chill |
| 3 | Defeat monsters on one floor between 1-10F in Taedal's Tower | Mildly spicy |
| 4 | Talk to Ashien at Starlight Observatory Ruins again | Chill |
| 5 | Talk to the Inn Owner at Kastleton Inn | Zero stress |
| 6 | Talk to Tailor Noan in Room 202 and awaken the Powerless Little Doll | Cozy ending |
Grab the Sad Little Doll
Head to the Wrecked Carriage just west of the Starlight Ruins Observatory. If you already battled goblins in this neck of the woods during the main story, congratulations—you have basically been in the neighborhood. Look for the crashed carriage, and right next to it you will spot the doll looking sorry for itself. Interact with it, and boom, objective one is in the bag.
Chat With Ashien, Round One
Next, scoot up to the top of the Starlight Observatory Ruins and chat with Ashien. When the dialogue options pop up, choose the one asking about the Amitoi. Do not get spooked if the localization gremlins spell it a little weird—this quest text has had its share of typos. Ashien will point you toward her painting, which is your ticket into Taedal's Tower.
Taedal's Tower: The Only Sweaty Part
On paper this sounds like the big time sink, but honestly it is a piece of cake. Interact with Ashien's painting nearby to access Taedal's Tower. You can tackle any floor from 1 to 10, but if you value your evening and your sanity, just pick Floor 1. There is no shame in speed-cutting this corner.
You will face a giant orc who has some big swings. The real gotcha is his heavy attack that stuns you, so do not try to facetank him like a hero unless you enjoy eating dirt. Keep moving, dump your skills, and he will drop without too much drama.
Back to Ashien for the Plot Twist
Once the floor is cleared, return to Ashien and talk to her again about what went down inside the painting. She gives you the classic 'go ask a professional' speech and nudges you toward Kastleton. At this point, the quest turns into a cozy detective story.
Kastleton Inn and the Nosy Landlord
Warp over to Kastleton Inn—it sits on the north side of the little square right by the Waystone, so fast travel practically drops you on the welcome mat. Head inside and speak with the inn owner. She points you to Room 202 like a gossipy landlord who knows every guest's business. No judgment, but she definitely keeps receipts.
Tailor Noan Saves the Day
The final stop is guest Room 202. Inside, a young tailor named Noan is sitting in a rocking chair like he owns the place. Ask him about the Amitoi, and he will patch up the little doll you found. Once it has been healed, interact with it on the ground and pick it up. That closes the quest, and you can finally stop running around Solisium like a headless chicken.
Final Blurb From Your Resident Quest Junkie
Do not overthink this one. Pick Floor 1, respect the orc's stun, and keep your eyes peeled for the doll because it is easy to jog right past if you are in full speed-run mode. This quest is mostly legwork, a quick fight, and a wholesome little Amitoi rescue. In other words, a lovely palette cleanser between all the epic boss chaos.
