Unlocking the “Where His Life Lies” World Quest

Prerequisite Quest: Garcia’s Paean: A Gift of Compatibility

Before “Where His Life Lies” becomes available, you must first complete the “Garcia’s Paean: A Gift of Compatibility” quest. This prerequisite quest is located in Sumeru. To confirm if you’ve already completed it, check the Sumeru Reputation Board and speak to Effendi. If you haven’t yet done so, you’ll need to journey to Sumeru and complete “Garcia’s Paean: A Gift of Compatibility” first.

Troubleshooting: Garcia and Lutong Not Appearing?

Some players have encountered an issue where, even after completing “Garcia’s Paean: A Gift of Compatibility,” Garcia and Lutong do not appear at the Waterway Hub, and the quest marker doesn’t show up. Here are a couple of suggested solutions that have worked for other players:

Solution 1: Principia Arithmetica Achievement

It’s suggested that obtaining the Principia Arithmetica Achievement might trigger the quest to appear. This achievement requires completing the Sumeru Daily Commission, “Garcia’s Paean: Echo of Someone,” three times. After completing this achievement, wait for the daily server reset. Following the reset, Garcia and Lutong should then appear in Fontaine at the designated location.

Solution 2: Daily Commissions – Garcia’s Paean Series

Alternatively, some players have reported success by completing other Daily Commissions in the “Garcia’s Paean” series, specifically “Garcia’s Paean: Substitutes” or “Garcia’s Paean: Key Items,” twice each. After completing these commissions and waiting for a server reset, the “Where His Life Lies” quest became available for them.

Try these troubleshooting steps if you are having difficulty getting the quest to appear.

Step 1: Head to the Opera Epiclese

After your initial conversation with Garcia and Lutong in the Waterway Hub in the Court of Fontaine, your next objective is to go to the Opera Epiclese. Garcia and Lutong are there to settle accounts with performing troupes at the Opera Epiclese, and they need your assistance. Follow the quest marker to the Opera Epiclese.

Step 2: Find a Secluded Spot with Lutong

Upon arriving near the Fountain of Lucine in the Opera Epiclese area, Lutong spots Kaia, Garcia’s romantic interest. Kaia joins your group, and after a brief interaction, Garcia and Kaia decide to spend some time together at a cafe. Lutong then suggests that you find a more secluded place to talk. Follow Lutong to a quieter location nearby to discuss the situation.

Step 3: Proceed to the Café with Lutong

After Lutong shares his concerns about a suspicious man who has been following Garcia, you need to go to the café with Lutong. This café is conveniently located back in the Court of Fontaine. To reach it quickly, use the Teleport Waypoint near Hotel Debord. This waypoint will place you very close to the café.

Step 4: Locate Menthe at the Café

Once you arrive at the café, Lutong points out the man who has been tailing him and Garcia. Lutong then asks you to look for Menthe, who, fortunately, is just a short distance away from the café. Follow the quest marker to find Menthe nearby.

Step 5: Rejoin Garcia’s Group

After speaking with Menthe, return to the café area to meet up with Garcia’s group. Upon seeing Menthe and the Traveler, the suspicious man quickly flees.

Following this event, Garcia, Lutong, and Kaia decide that it would be safer for them to relocate to Petrichor. This concludes the “Where His Life Lies” quest in Fontaine, setting the stage for their story to continue in Petrichor.
