The town of Flamechurch inOctopath Traveler 2is wherethe story of the protagonist Temenos begins. The town is very religious thanks to the massive cathedral of the Sacred Flame built just to the north, so it should be no surprise that both side stories in this area have to do with pilgrims and the cathedral.
One of these side quests is relatively easy and involves going around Flamechurch and the cathedral to find the required materials. However, the second quest is more involved and demands that players visit several second-tier towns throughoutOctopath Traveler 2to find everything they need.

Pilgrim Protection Guide
To the left of the small church in town is a man known as Elder. He’s worried about the safety of the pilgrims heading up to the cathedral, and he thinks it would help to light the path using someSacred Flame Candles. However, he’ll need three candles to make the path safe.
The candles are possessions held by three NPCs in the Flamechurch area.
Players can use any means they like to get the three Sacred Flame Candles. Once they bring all three to the Elder, he’ll reward the party with5,000 leaves, aFortifying Nut, and aTough Nut. As a secondary reward, players who enter the Flamechurch Pilgrims' Way will notice that it has more candles and no more random encounters.
Cathedral Window Repair Guide
The big stained-glass window in the Flamechurch Cathedral brokeduring Temenos’s opening chapter, and now one of the Clerics is trying to repair the damage. However, to restore the sacred protections, he’ll need more than just glass: he needs alarge soulstone of the fire, ice, thunder, and windvarieties. This means that he needs soulstones with an (L) next to their name.
Players won’t find any large soulstones in the starting towns or areas, but there are plenty to get in second-tier settlements likeMontwise,Clockbank, andTropu’hopu. Some NPCs in these towns have large soulstones, andStealing, Purchasing, Entreating, or Muggingthem is the easiest way to get the needed items. To save some time, here’s a list of NPCs who definitely have the right soulstones:
Once players bring one of each soulstone to the Cleric, he’ll fix the window, lecture on how it works, and give the party8,000 leavesand aPsychic Staff. The staff is particularly good during the early game, and it offersa large amount of elemental defense. Players may also notice a lot of new pilgrims in the cathedral who have come to see the fixed window.
