3. True Wisdom in Kindness

3.1 Investigate the Sewer
True Wisdom in Kindness Step
Next, find and open the trapdoor underneath where the beggar was sitting, and climb down to the sewer. Turn on your Lantern to see better in the dark.

Jump across the falling floors to help the Noble, who will give you a letter in return. Return to the ladder you entered from to exit the sewer.

4. Actions Speak Louder than Words

4.1 Help the Distressed Villagers
Broom Equipment Step
Go towards the outskirts of town to help the distressed couple. Grab the broom by the door and equip it in the radial menu on the inventory screen. Then, climb the roof through the boxes at the back.

To use the broom, select it in the radial menu to hold it, then hold LB/L1 to target the chimney and RB/R1 to begin cleaning. Your target must be exactly on the chimney hole for it to work.

5. Heart Beyond Borders

5.1 Speak with the Child
Heart Beyond Borders Step 1 - Child
Head back into town and speak with the child in the green hood. Help her get her cat back by climbing the roof, chasing the cat a bit, then carry it when it stops.

Heart Beyond Borders Step 2 - Black Cat
After climbing back down and returning the cat, the child will leave. Pick up the Shai’s Pendant the child leaves behind. This finishes Trials of Kindness and leads to the next questline, Traces.
